to correct one discrimination is
to set up another discrimination.
I felt we could learn from the OPP
Grafton of the FEPC Act in New
York. Our Minneapolis ordinance
was closely patterned after the
Act in New York.
so modified the original bill
for a permanent FEPC in order
to overcome the above objections
to it and introduce the new YER
sion of H.R. 2373 on April 80,
1947. After the legislation had
been taken up in the Senate and
filibustered to death, the House
Committee on Education and
Labor did not act on it at all be-
cause the Senate's action meant
that nothing would be accom-
plished.
Voted for Powell Bill
I'm the 81st Congress, Rep.
Adam Powell of New York intro
duced a bill which was essentially
the same as mine. When it came
before the House for debate a
substitute was offered by Repre-
sentative Mcconnell of Pennsyl-
vania which gave the commission
no power to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against violators of the
Act, but depended primarily upon
the processes of conference, con-
citation, persuasion, investiga-
ton of facts, making such facts
public and thereby developing
public sentiment against viola
tors.
when the vote came, 1 voted,
as the Congressional Record
shows, for the Powell bill. That
bill was defeated by small mar
gin. The next vote was between
the Mcconnell bill or nothing. /
decided. along with most supper
tiers of FEPC legislation, to vote
for the Mcconnell bill rather than
for no legislation at all.
Passage of even the McCon-
nell bill by the House represented
a net gain, not loss; it will lead
to more votes in support of FEPC
legislation in the next Congress.

Move Predicted

AsASNO
Although Mississippi win prob
ably be the last state TO face such
move, the move win come" Mr..
Krebs said. And we believe that
in bowling to the win Of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, the
Mississippi Board OF Trustees will
in the end have to admit Negroes
not only to Ole Miss but to Mis-
sissippi State and other state-sup-
ported schon's,
Anyone who calls himself fair
or honest or a Christian viii find
only one answer TO the question
Of the Negroes right to an educa-
ton. Anyone who believes that
all taxpayers have a right TO an
equal education win believe that
Negroes have the right to enter
our professional schools"
Mr.. Krebs continued: "Of
course, the highly emotional peo-
pie who see red when the word
Negro Is mentioned, win inn
mediately start, upon reading
this, to get excited and call up as
evidence for their argument, seq
regation.
That's another question, hit
we think 1t poses no real problem
here. Segregation is simply a
matter of choice. Southerners will
continue to pick their own asso-
ciates, no doubt until the end of
time.

action of the Senate Labor
Committee in postponing in

President Truman to use the
law.
The decision to defer any ac-
tion was by a ix-to-five vote,
with Chairman Ebert Thomas

ballot.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey 3D.,
Minn.) who made the motion,
explained that the action was
not to be interpreted as being
sympathetic TO the resolution
which is being pushed by the
Republicans. The "delicacy of
the negotiations" which are
scheduled to reopen formally
Feb. 1, was the reason for his
move, he said. This is the
Presidents responsibility under
law, and such resolutions should
not be passed under these cir
cumstances, he insisted. John
l.. Lewis and the operators
have agreed to meet here at 2
p. m. Feb. l.
In favor of killing the resolu-
ton outright was Sen. Mathew
Nicely Cd, w. Va) who voted
with the Republicans against
Humphreys motion. Otherwise,
the decision was by a straight
party vote.

report by the Federal Trade
Commission disclosing that a
majority of big business made
a profit of around 20 per cent,
after all taxes, in 1948, COM
pared with about half that be-
fore the war. The report, one of
the most important profit sto-

The editorial declares that a

bune carried nothing, nor did
the Washington papers, nor did

The editorial points out that
when the publishers association
meets this spring "you can be
certain its members will assure
one another that they are firm
believers in the freedom of the

Freedom to what? Freedom
to keep their subscribers in ig-

people know that those who
scream loudest about taxes
make the biggest profits? Free

tisers mad?
The full story was carried by

The Strike Assessment a1IectS
all employed members of the
Union in the United States. The
Assessment is $1.00 per week
per member beginning on Febru-
airy 9, 1850. Local Unions may
collect the Assessment in month
ly installments on the following
basis: $500 during February
1850; $4.O0 during March 1850;
$4.00 during April 1850; $l.00
during May 1850
This Assessment shall be in
effect as long as there are at
least $4,000 members of our
Union who continue to be affect
ed by a strike or strikes, but no
longer than twelve (12) weeks.
The International Executive
Board found it necessary to levy
this EMERGENCY STRIKE AS
SESSMENT because of the great
number of workers who are out
on strike at the present time.
Among the workers on strike
are $4,000 in Chrysler plants

The legislation establishes a
T5-cent minimum rate for the
% million workers protected by
the Fair Labor Standards Act

also provides increased protec-
ton for children against haz-
ardous industrial employment.
"Ours Is a growing society" !"
the President said. "We cannot
afford to stand still, and we
cannot afford to have our legis-
lation become outmoded. Conse-
Quently, in 1949 we re~exam-
ined and re-appraised the Fed
eral wage-hour law in the light
OF the IL years experience we
had had with II and in the con-
text of our present $50 billion
dollar national economy"
He added "As now amended,
the Fair Labor Standards Act
Is a good law. But no law can
be drafted which will not need
re-examination In the light of
su bSeou emf developments. |
have therefore asked the Secre-
tary of Labor TO keep me in
formed on the operation Of the
new law. | am confident that
our employers and workers will
find compliance with this law
even easier than compliance
with the original statute in
