Union Claims

A letter from Wilfred c. La
land, executive director of the
Minneapolis Fair Employment
Practice Commission quotes the
business agent of TaxiCab Drivers
and Helpers Union, Local 95s as
saying that the union has no race
bar and that Negro employees of
the Yellow Cob Co (other than
cab driversD are members Of the
union.
Leland made an investigation
after Mrs, NJ d. Zimmerman had
written this paper that drivers for
the Yellow Cab Co. had told her
that Negroes were not allowed
membership in their union
None Of the Minneapolis cab
companies have ever employed
any known Negro-AmeriCans as
drivers. Yellow Cab now employs
women drivers
Many Of the leading cities In the
north. including Milwaukee have
Negro drivers for both the yellow
and independent companies.
Mr.. Lelands letter said.
Editor,
We were Interested in the letter
from Mrs NJ D. Zimmerman
which appeared in your paper on
July II, concerning the report that
Negroes are not eligible for mem
bership IN the cab drivers union
We are informed that Negro
employees of the taxiCab com
panies. working IN positions other
than cab drivers. are now mem
bers of TaxiCab Drivers and Help
ers Union. Local 95s. The business
agent also states that Negro cab
drivers were members Of the union
at the time when they were en-
ployed by the Avenue Cab Com
pany. This concern was owned BY
Negro businessmen who sold their
license to another company in
i949.
SO far az we know there are no
Negro drivers now employed by
any OF the taxicab companies IN
Minneapolis. although we have
been told by both the companies
and the union that qualified
drivers viii be accepted without
discrimination We hope that
qualified Negro drivers Interested
in tRxicab work viii apply to the
companies and will report Their
experience TO the Fair Employ
mcnt Practice Commission AT the

mortality rates ranging from l46

the life insurance business,
SAchtjen said.
Private companies that insure
Negroes diffcrentiate between
them and white policy holders by
charging higher premiums, allow
ing a smaller commission to
agents for selling insurance to
Negroes, or applying a stricter
policy on selection Of Negroes and
limiting the solicitation OF them.
the judge said
Commissioner LANCE Is not pro-
