Squeeze in Race Issue
Charged by Contractors

the general contractor, that the
subcontractor will hire only
people who will work in har-
mony with the other trades.
Most of the heavy conStruc-
ton work in the Washington
area - Government buildings,
apartment houses and similar
projectS-is done by firms that
hire only union labor.
Locals Supply Workers
AS it works out, if Mr.. KS
electrical subcontractor needs
electricians he calls Local 26
and tells how many are re-
quired. The union, in turn, sup
plies the electricians in ac-
cordance with a master labor
agreement between the union
and the associated contractors.
This agreement, the union
leaders have emphasized. has
the sanction of the National
Labor Relations Board and is
binding on the parties con-
cerned.
According to the contractors,
they have fulfilled their con-
tractual obligations. TIL y
have employed the electricians
sent to them and. they say,
they would have no objections
to using Negro electricians If
they are assigned to their prof.
ectS.
AS for suggestions that have
been made by Mr.. Meany and
others for employing nom
union workers, the view of the
contractors may be pressed in
these words:
What would happen to us is
that the union electricians
would walk off the job, and the
other trades will, too, and We
will have a strike on our
hands"
The matter doesn't end
there as far as the contractors
are concerned. IF we have a
strike, we can't fulfill our con-
tract and then We become sub
ject to a suit by the general
contractor for nonfulfillment CT
the contract"
Whether such a suit would
stand in court has not been
determined here for the mat
ter has not been carried that
far on the discrimination issue.
Risks Union Charge
Also the contractors. it has
been pointed out, might be
ia ced with union-brought
charges of unfair labor prac-
tees.
In this situation, the Gov
ernment finds itself in the
middle, too. 1t has no means
of forcing Local 26 or any other
union to lower its color bars
Neither has the AFL-CIO nor
the international union, for
both have tried and failed. And
this has led to a question very
much in the minds of the con-
tractors confronted with the
problem again:
If Meary and the Govern
ment canH control Local 26
how can w.?"
Evening star., 1960-02-17

Contractors engaged in Gov
ernment work here consider
they have been caught in the
middle in the controversy over
alleged discrimination against
Negro electricians and other
skilled workers on some Of the
Capital areas major projects.
AS they view it, they are
carrying out the letter of their
contracts which contain prOvi-
sionS required by the Govern
ment against discrimination.
Any discrimination that has
resulted, according to the con-
tractors, is due to union prac-
tiCeS beyond their control. They
are practices, it is pointed out,
which the Government has
been unable to change.
Meany Raises Issue
The discrimination issue in
public buildings here, a long
standing one, was raised anew
this week by AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany.
Mr.. Meany said he had pro-
posed more than a year ago to
the Presidents Committee on
Government Contracts that
non-union electricians could be
used to break the color bar in
WaShington'S Local 26, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers. He added that
the committee, which policeS
hiring by Government contrac-
tors, ignored his suggestion.
What Mr.. Meany did not
dwell on and what is often
ignored in the more emotional
aspects of the issue was the
situation Of the contractors
themselves. For them, there are
the hard and practical matters
OF contractual obligations. and
relations with unions involving
widespread labor agreements.
How 1t Works
Their situation may be illus
trated by a hypothetical Con-
tractor x who wins the con-
tract for a major Government
office building.
Mr.. X is required to sign a
Government contract CARRYING
a non-discrimination clause. AS
a usual practice, he will sub
contract electrical and other
phases of the work.
The subcontraCt negotiated
by Mr.. X for the electrical
work or whatever it is carries
two features bearing on the
nOn-discrimination issue. These
are:
l. The general non-discrimi-
nation clause required by the
Federal Government that is
part of MI. KS contract.
2. A provision, required by
