sound for Government con-
tractors. Il Is argued now
that the same prohibition
should be written into Law so
Is to apply TO al employers.
The argument for State
handling Of the matter has
considerable support In Con-
gress, because New York
State. with a commission and
q law that does not prescribe
penalties but depends pri-
r1arily on public opinion. has
been operating successfully.
It Is believed nevertheless
that q bill based on the vol
untary principle. such as the
House Of Representatives
passed on February %, 1850.
by q vote Of 240 to 1T would
be passed again by the House.
The question nov Is what
the Southern Democrats IN the
Senate would Do about 1t.

The whole problem was an

measure at least for consider
alton now that the Supreme

has decreed that there can be
no racial discrimination In the

The House of Representa-

have been known to have

has been to get the measure

While the national spot
light win concentrate on what
the Democratic Party does in
Congress, what happens here
will really be only o part of
the 1856 story which the party
will be writing in the next two
years.
It is here in Congress, 1t is
true, where the record will be
made on which the party and
its presidential candidate
whoever he may be ~ must
run; for national issues are
made here. But q good deal Of
the groundwork must be laid
elsewhere--out in the field
where the votes are cast and
counted.
So, while the Democratic
Party's assumption Of control
of Congress will attract major
publicity, 1t is not wise to
overlook what will be happen
ing In the next several days
In State capitals. Namely,
the Inauguration Of o whole
crop OF Democratic Governors.
In particular eight who won
Governor chairs formerly held
by Republicans. Some were
in key States. especially q tier
along the Atlantic seaboard
including New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Connecticut. Re-
publicans failed to capture a
single Governors seat from
Democrats.
