the Sox had a 60 lead in the
second inning, when play was

With the first invasion Of the
West by American League clubs,
interest in the Red Sox is fired
again. A notoriouSly poor road
team in the past, Boston now is
going to learn just how much help

opinion is that one of the chief
reasons for the acquisition of the
veteran shortstop was to steady
a club that has lost more than one
pennant away from home.

League. At the end of yester-
days play the Braves, Brooklyn
and Cardinals were deadlocked
with .667 each. The Braves split
Ia double e-header with the Phillies,
winning the opener, 10, although
held to two hits by Jocko Thomp-

Phillies overcame a six-run first

Del Ennis.
The surprising Cardinals kept
pace when Harry Brecheen held
the Cubs to six hits and won his
second game of the year, 6 to 8.
Enos Slaughter was the big gun,
driving in three runs for st. Louis
with a double and two singles.

cinnati. 9-8, in 13 innings. The

To hear her voice and see her

How much we loved her and how

God loved her too and thought il

To take her home with him to

How do private employment

state FEPC law?
John Rankin of Mississippi IN
testifying before a Senate sub
committee in 1877 on a federal
FEPC said:
Tn" businessmen in New York
tell me that they had to resort TO
employment agencies 10 get
around this thing (the New York
FEPC), and in those employment
agencies they have a string Of
questions tina, get around thesr
regulations, and they ten me there
is hardly q Negro IN New York
who can get by them"
The Rankin statement, Of
course, Is exaggerated. Private
employment agencies in New York
get around" FEPC by various
subtle means Usually they en-.
courage the applicant 10 think he
has a good chance Of being hired
except for some minor point Of
qualification. Agencies dealing in
professional and technical jobs
are the worst offenders
SCAD itself has been cognizant
from the beginning of the problem
offered by private employment
agencies. In its 1916 annual re-
port SCAD admitted that the
private agencies presented a real
problem"
The Commission on Law and
Social Action Of the American
Jewish Congress made three
studies Of the problem. The follow
ing information was compiled as q
result:
In 1915, soon after the New
York FEPC was enacted, 102 en-
ployment agencies were subjected
to personal interviews. 80 Of the
agencies specialized in white col
lar jobs. elsa reported that Of
the 1902, thirty were mot openly
hostile TO the law but were set
upon circumventing it," Thirty
five agencies "were not even will
ling to give 1t lip service" Thirty
seven had a friendly cooperative
attitude toward the policy ex-
pressed in the law"
The studies of the American
Jewish Congress are too detailed
to report in one article. However,
elsa made its third study in
19i9, four years after the passage
Of the Ives-Quinn bill in New
York state. The figures at that
time showed IA substantial
change in the policy Of private
employment agencies. but indicate
nevertheless, that they still en-
gage in a good deal of Illegal dis
elimination"

most significant case that has
originated within the country
with respect to the question of the

and that is the passage Of a fed
eraI FEPC.
The Brown case also is an e1l-
celicnt example Of how Ineffective
our state FEPC is when it is
called upor TO enforce the law
and protect minority groups"
In spite of the criticism Of the
way in which SCAD has admins
tered the New York state FEPC
law, and this writer believes the
criticisms are valid, certainly
there has been some good accom-
plished.
One race relations man said:
The law itself has set an at
mosphere Of acceptance. A lot
of people have been looking for
something TO hang a change of
attitude on"
Another said: 1T gives "A fair
minded employer a break, but it
hasn't been able 10 do much with
those who are going TO hang onto
their bigotry right to the last inch.
They find a way to get around it,"
Private employment agencies
have been a bulwark Of discrim-
nation in New York. particularly
those handling technical and pro-
fessional jobs.
When the New York State EN-
ployment Service receives n dis
criminatory request from an en-
ployer, the rules of the agency
provide that a record must be
made of the request and that the
employer must be asked to a
mend his request in accordance
with the Ives-Quinn law.
According to Berger, in spite of
the law "the official state agency
continues TO receive hundreds of
illegal requests each year. Though
the number declined considerably
after the passage Of the act, there
are still a surprising number of
requests of this kind, and an
equally surprising number which
cannot be relaxed by the state
employment agency officials,
THE New York State Employ
ment Service sends this informa-
ton to SCAD but the latter has
not, to the knowledge Of this
writer, commented on this matter
in its annual report or in its lit
erature," Berger writes.
He states that about 80 TO 90
