The Minneapolis Branch and the
State Conference Of NAACP have

in the Army, and the recent de-
velopments in this exciting and
significant campaign will be re-
counted at the meeting

fight in the state legislature.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1951-02-16

stated tne sole purpose OF the
proposed legislation was to COM
pei a business man to hire or pro-
mote someone he doesn't want or
keep him from firing someone he
feels should be fired. His attack
on the bill was vicious
Christensen said this bill was
substantially the same one which
had been proposed in the u. S.
Congress for the past ten years
and was regularly defeated. He
said 1T is also the same bill
which has been presented to our
state legislature and been de-
feated for the past six years"
Race Identification
Christensen read several pas
sages from the proposed legisla-
ton which the opposition, accord
ing to him, felt was unfair and
gave too much power to only a
few.
One Of the most vicious parts
Of the bill, said Christensen, was
the adjustment of race identifi-
cation. He told the labor group,
according to the bill. it was IL
legal to ask a man II he was born
in this country: whether he was
a U, S. citizen; questions about
his birth, race, color, nationality,
religious preference, parents
birthplace, his or her past ex-
perience, any police record, or
political affihation. You can't
even ask If he ever served in the
Russian Army" he said.
In furthering his argument
against the bill, Christensen said
that under the bill. freedom Of re-
ligion would be exempted and
that businessmen wanted that
same freedom.
Use Of Negro M.D.'s Cited
The opponents spokesman used
the Mayo Clinic in one of his OBJ
jections to the bill. He said the
Mayo Clinic had patients from all
over the world come here for
treatment and that in the u. S.
most of the patients came from
below the Mason-Dixon line.
He said, Southern white
women do not want to be eX-
amined by Negro doctors nor do
they want their children exam
ined by them" He stated the
clinic had even tried doctors
from India, but even this
wouldn't work.
As for the upgrading of en-
ployecs, Christensen told the
committee that companies wanted
the privilege of upgrading the
people who had the best qualifica-
tons and would create the best
harmony among the employees.
According to Mr.. Christensen
foreman would be walking
along the line helping the work
eTs with their tasks and lean
ing over them. He said. "SOme
white women would not like
Negro bending over them and
helping them"
One phase of Christensen's
testimony was questioned vigor-
ously by a member of the commit
tee Christensen had previously
stated what would happen to the
community of Sacred Heart,
which. according to him, was all
Catholic, and operated a saw mill.
He said. If Lutheran was sent
into this community it would ruin
the business"
Little Drastic"
Labor Committeeman w.
Holm from Tyler, Mimi, told
Christensen he had been In bust
ness with "A concern In n Cath
ole community for forty years,
and that he had not ruined the
business. Christensen then
stated that maybe he had been
"a little drastic" in his state
mcnt.

The opposition also presented
several witnesses. One Of the
largest turnouts against the bill
was from the Minnesota Mining
Company who had several repre-
sentatives present led by Ivan
Lawrence, vice president of the
personnel division of that COM
pany. Mr.. Lawrence said that the
proposed legislation provided ad-
ditional disadvantages to Mime
sofa business. He cited the pro-
gress of his firm in the field of
minority employment with coop
GRAFTON Of the st. Paul Urban
League. Through voluntary
means, you will see more lasting
results than with legislation" he
said.
Gamers Opposed
Another important witness for
the opposition was Edwin Kraus,
Canning executive from Orion
vile, Mimi, who said that the
canning industry was opposed to
the bill in principle. we believe, d"
said Mr.. Kraus, that as long as
management pays the bills, they
have the right to hire or fire
whom they choose"
BIOOdshed!
He stated further, you can
not, by such a measure, control
thought of an individual" Kraus
told the committee of his past
experience during the summer
months when his company and
others used foreign labor to work
in the fields. He said that 1t was
impossible to house, feed or work
the Mexicans, Bahamaans, and
the American Indians together
IF you do, there will be blood
shed, and the state militia will
have to be called out"
Edwin Ulmer, representing the
independent lumber dealers,
stated bootlegging of employers
would be the result of the passing
of FEPC legislation.
Charles H. Bruins. executive
director of the Employers Indus
trial Relations of Duluth, said
his employers believed the bill
punished a limited group of en-
ployers, "Who aren't responsible. "
He further felt there was very
little discrimination in employ
ment and the problem wasn't
widespread. Bruins said the
groups working for the ending OF
discrimination would solve the
problem. THE passage of this
bill would only create more prob
lems," said he. TT can be handled
on a voluntary basis"
Seeger Man Testifies
Frank Taylor, personn
manager for Seeger Refrigera-
ton a large employer of minor
ity groups, stated the law in it
self will do little to abolish dis
elimination in employment. Tay-
lor said, Most employers will de-
velop defensive techniques"
The testimony of Mark Ocken,
representing the Hotel an d
Restaurant Association, was also
attacked by members of the
committee when he said his or
ganizatiOn has no problem. When
asked if Negroes were allowed to
eat or register as guests where
Negro walters were employed,
Ocken stated Yes"
He stated that no Negroes had
ever been refused hotel aCComo-
dations or food in the hotels that
ne knew of, when asked whether
they had been refused service.
The session, which was ad-
journed at POS p. m. Monday
