Labor Wins FEPC
Law In humfromck

Hantramck, Mich.-(JCLR) -
This Detroit suburb last month be-
came the saith city in the country
to pass a fair employment prac-
tees ordinance.
The campaign for a local FEPC
was spanked by Dodge Local 3 of
the UAw-CIO. Business groups
and other civic organizations were
enrolled in the campaign which re-
suited in unanimous approval Of
the measure by the city council.
The passage of this ordinance
makes Hamtranck the 4th Miehi-
gan city to outlaw discriminatory
practices in employment Prior ac-
ton had been taken by Pontiac,
River Rouge and Ecorse. In all
these communities the drive was
inaugurated and backed by labor
groups.
The Hamtramck law calls for a
five man commission 10 De desig-
mated by the mayor Of the city. All
complaints viii be heard by this
commission which viii refer the
more fragrant violations TO the
city attorney for prosecution. In
cluded in the new ordinance Is a
provision for maximum penalties
of a 500 fine or 90 days in jail
Fraternal and religious organi-
cations are exempted from this
statue as are domestics and firms
employing less than six workers.
Better working conditions" viii
result from the passage OF this
law in the view Of c, Pat Quinn,

UNITED NATIONS
NEWS

Needless to say, the proposed
conference of Asian-African lead
ers early this year has definitely
caused concern" on the part Of
key diplomats.
Although the recent comminioue
from Bogar, West Java, was issu-
ed under the names of the prime
ministers of Burma, Ceylon, India,
Pakistan and Indonesia, the first
prime minister TO propose a con-
ference of African leaders as such
was Prime Minister Kwame
Nkrumah of the Gold Coast. How
ever, it remained for the Asian
leaders of India, Pakistan and In
donesia to include the principal
Asian nations.
The international news service
curiously failsed to include the
fact that the conference leaders
decided almost unanimously to eN-
clude the government of South
Africa. Also excluded from con-
ference invitations were Israel,
North and South Korea.
Egypt. Ethiopia, Liberia, Libya,
the Sudan, the Central African
federation( Nyasaland, Northern
and Southern Rhodesial have all
received invitations to the April
conference.
II is worthy of mention that II
was at the insistence Of Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of In
dia that the Gold Coast and the
Central African federation were
included among the invites.
Prime Minister Nehru publicly ex-
pressed the opinion that there
should be as wide African repre-
sentation as possible.
Conservative British newspapers
have commented upon the POSSIBLE
ity that the conference might give
sanction" to African nationalism.
They are particularly anxious a
bout the extent of the forthcom-
ing discussion of the problems of
special interest about national
ism, racialism and colonialism.
Word from Accra, the Gold
Coast, is that Prime Minister
Nkrumah has offered to discuss
with Ashanti leaders the question
of federal government for the
Gold Coast.
DR.. Nkrumah asserted in a pub
lie broadcast to the people of the
West African country that 1t ap-
peared to him that underlying the
Ashanti demands for federal gov
eminent was a desire for closer
consultation by the government
with the region"
He stated further, THE govern
ment recognizes the value to be
gained by having the regions
more closely associated by CONSUL
tation and advice with the decis-
ions of the government. 1t recog-
nizes also the value of regional
participation in local development.
DR.. Nl<rlImah was especially EN-
phatic in denouncing "irrespon-
sible minorities and enemies" who,
in his opinion, were exploiting
the situation to further their per-
sonal and political aims"
In the meantime, the Gold Coast
government has appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the general
wage structure Of the country's
mining industry. AS a result of
the governmental action, the min
ing employees union, over 10000
strong. has withdrawn its strike
notice. The basic issue involved is
a general wage increase for all
categories.

and an active supporter Of the
measure. Quinn congratulated the
local authorities for the enactment
of this progressive move" and
indicated that all labor groups in
the city would be alerted to put
real teeth" in the FEP statute by
preventing evasion and assuring
vigorous enforcement.

tramck can happen in any Ameri-
can city when labor makes its
mind up to act on a community

.Shure-Profit PIun
Ends Transit Strike

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. S P-
The Scranton Transit Co.'S 266
striking employees began return
ing to work today, ending an
eight-month walkout which left
this city of $4,000 without mass
public transportation.
The employees voted last night
at special membership meeting
of the AFL Transit Workers
Union to accept a revenue shar-
ing plan offered by the company
Saturday.
The State Public Utilities Com
mission authorized three other
buslines to begin temporary and
limited service in the city last
Friday. This was believed the
motivating factor for the sud-
den end to the strike.
Before the walkout April S the
union workers averaged $1.56 an
hour and asked IS cents an hour
more. The company asked the
men to take a 3-cent-an-hour
cut. Under the new pact, the
drivers will get no less than $3.50
an hour and could make up to
$l.70 an hour through revenue
Misunderstanding on the COM
pany's profits. Under the plan,
81 per cent of the company's rev.
enue will be assigned to the

One of the big issues in the
squabble is the financial return
to the publisher and his assist

ger said his bonus and salary for
the year ended last September

Mr.. Ratliff contended that top
