Melissa was bent over in STOPPING posi-

FEPC Wins In
: 3 Complaints

The successful adjudication of
three complaints brought under
the state fair employment prac-
tice statute was announced this
week by Elwood S. McKenney,
member of the Massachusetts
Commission Against Discrimin-
alton.
MIR. McKenney, who handled
the Cancellation work leading up
to the settlements, said all three
complaints alleged the practice
of unlawful discrimination by
employers against Colored job
seekers.
In the first case, a 48-year-old
experienced laundry worker of
Roxbury through her complaint
was given employment by a
downtown Boston hotel.
The second and third cases
grew out of complaints brought
by Everett sisters against a Rox-
bury Crossing shoe firm. Altho-
ugh the cases were settled in
their behalf, circumstances pre-
vented the sisters from accepting
employment. Coincidentally, the
company announced it had
changed its employment policy
and had begun to hire colored
workers.
The Commission Against Dis
elimination was complimented
by counsel for both employers
for its handling of the cases. 81
wish to take this opportunity
of thanking you for the courtesy
and tact with which you handled
this matter" Atty. Edmund ].
Burke wrote concerning the first
case. Maurice Simon, counsel for
the shoe factory wrote: Il want
you to know that we appreciate
the type of work you are doing
and are on your side"

CIVIC CIRCLE
HEARS BANKS
MCKINNEY

Elwood S. McKenney, member
of the newly established Massa-
chusetts Commission Against Dis
elimination was the guest speaker
of the United Civic Circle at its
meeting last Monday at 55S Mass.
Ave.
He stated that the Commission
was formerly the Fair Employ
ment Practices Commission and
dealt only with complaints of dis
elimination by persons who were
denied employment because of re-
1igion, race, color, or national
origin. He made it clear that
discrimination remains outlawed
in employment. But" he said,
''The newly established Commits
sion outlaws discrimination in
restaurants, theatres, housing
projects as well as employment.
This means that complaints may
be lodged with the Commission
if a person is refused service in
any public place."
During the question period, Nc
Kenney made the following OBJ
servations:
l. That there are jobs avail
able for colored people with
skills and information about
them may be obtained at the
office of the Commission, Al
fremont ST., Boston.
2. Skilled persons, as printers
and electricians, who are denied
the right to join labor union
should file a complaint with the
Commission.
3. Persons seeking employ
ment with the MIA. should
see him at the office of the
Commission.
