Concluding that discrimination in

Mon delegates md minority repre-

be asked to state their attitudes
toward an FEP Act.
A panel of delegates referred to
the FEP legislation already in eff
feet in Ontario (Canada which
makes it unlawful for employers to
discriminate in the hiring ard fir
ing of employees for reasons Of
race. creed, color. or nationality.
Summarily the conference conclu-
ded, Discrimination starts at the
application form level. There Is no
need for questions IF race, national
origin. religion, etc. Such ques-
lions have no bearing on the ability
to do the job"
Emphasis was placed on this point
in view of the fact that in New
York, 10 per cent of the trouble In
connection with discrimination a
rises at application for employment
stage
1t was felt that the best procedure
for administration of an FEP law
in B. G. would be to have volun-

that in the State of Washington
with the act itself containing strong
penalties. The commission would
act in an advisory capacity to the
