Many international unions are
continuing bias practices against

said here this week.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor
secretcry added that, IF racial

buttons then il is immoral

labor movement.
This is especially true in
those sectors of the economy
where union membership is a
condition of employment and
where union racial practices de-
termines the status OF Negro
workers" he said.
