EEPc DebUfe

Duluth. MINI "A proposal for a
municipal fair employment prae-
tice ordinance in Duluth. initiated
by the Duluth Branch Of the NJ
A.A.C.P., was debated at the open
forum Of the Duluth Chamber Of
Commerce Tuesday noon
Speaking against the proposal
was Otto r. Christensen, execu-
tive vice-president of the Mime
sofa Employers Association,
Speaking in support OF the or
dinance were George NJ. Jensen
and wnfred c. Leland, Jr, Of
Minneapolis. Mr.. Jensen is vice.
president Of the Scott-Atwater
Manufacturing Company and Is
Chairman of the Minnesota Coun-
Gil for Employment on Merit which
has been working for state fair
employment practice law.
Mr.. Leland is Executive Director
of the Minneapolis Fair Employ
ment Practice Commission.
Mr.. Jensen drew upon his ex-
perience as an employer, as presi-
dent of the Minneapolis Board Of
Education and as the first Chair
man of the Minneapolis Fair En-
ployment Practice Commission to
present evidence that such an or
dinRnce is good for employers,
unions and employment agencies,
as well as for workers and the
general community.
Mr.. Christensen argued that
there was no need for such legis-
lation and that It would improper
ly restrict employers freedom to
hire.
Mr.. Leland pointed to the sub
stantial improvements in employ
ment patterns which have resulted
in Minneapolis and in the other
cities and states when fair en-
ployment practice laws have re-
quired those who make employ
ment policy to face the issue OF
discrimination squarely.
Questions from the floor in
dieated a favorable interest In the
proposal on the part of civic, labor
and business leaders in Duluth,
including some Of the members
Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
Robert Morris, the Executive Sec
etary Of the Duluth Chamber OF
Commerce, has been opposing the
proposed ordinance at City Coun-
ell hearings.
Newly elected Mayor George o.
Johnson and the two newly elected
Council members were present at
the meeting. The members Of the
City Council and all of those who
were candidates for office had
gone on record in favor Of the
proposed ordinance prior ito the
municipal elections which were
held on April Z. The Council is
scheduled to have a fun public
hearing on the issue before May 1
and the supporters hope that a
vote win be taken shortly there
after.
