Who Claimed He Lost
Job Because Of Race
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The first
case to reach a hearing before
New York States four-year-olc
Commission Against DiScrimina-
ton ended today with a $4,000
payment to a Negro who claimed
he lost his job because Of his race
The payment was made by q
construction firm, the George H.
Finn Corp, which also agreed
to revise its employment prac-
tees.
Lester Block, attorney for the
company, said economic and bust
ness reasons, rather than racial
bias, caused the dismissal Of the
employe, Walter Tannis.
Mr.. Block added, however, that
the company would rather make
the $4,000 settlement than stand
the cost of defending itself at
the hearing.
Three members of the Anti
Bias Commission had been desig-
mated to hold a hearing on Mr..
Tannis' complaint after concilia-
ton failed. All other cases brought
to the body's attention have either
been settled by generalization or
dropped for lack of evidence.
Nicholas H. Pinto, chairman of
the three-member hearing panel,
accepted the Finn company's set
Element proposal as equitable
and reasonable"
The company did not agree to
rehire Mr.. Tannis. explaining that
the job on which he formerly
worked has been completed. 1t
promised, however. to treat with
out prejudice any future Job ap-
plication he might make.
Mr.. Tannis' complaint. filed Oc-
tober 6, 1913, said he had been
fired by the company three times.
The $4,000 award represented
back pay.

Agreement on Future
Of Italian Colonies
BY the Associated Press


LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. IA
special United Nation 21-nation
subcommittee began putting into
final form today its recommended
tions on the future of Italy's pre-
war African colonies.
After weeks of discussion the
subcommittee has reached de-
cisions on what to do with Libia,
Italian Somaliland and Eritrea.
But diplomatic sources said the
ANAL verdict depends on whether
the Latin American and Arab
blocs can reach agreement on uni
fed action. The 20 Latin Amer
lean nations had a caucus sched-
uled this morning before the sub
committee session.
The question of the Italian COL
onies came before the U. N. last
year under terms of the peace
treaty with Italy because the Big
-Four powers were unable to agree
on disposal of the African lands.
The problem was discussed at
the carry-over session of the
General Assembly last spring but
no solution was reached.
The subcommittee of the Politi-
cal Committee debated for Is days
before agreeing on:
/. independence for Libia by
January /, 1852.
2. Independence for Italian So
maitland by 1859 and interim rule
by Italy under a U. N. trusteeship.
8. A five-nation committee of
inquiry be sent to Eritrea to re-
port on conditions there.
Final decisions on the colonies
must be reached by a two-thirds
vote Of the General Assembly,
