On May 20 after two months

letter to this newspaper in which
he charged the FEP commission
with a lethargic approach to his
complaint. White complained that

the commission did not plan to
press his case.
He charged one commission

On May 20, in a letter published
in this paper White severely crit

few days the legal redress commit

the Newspaper Guild asked the
Minneapolis FEP commission for
a hearing on the case.

the complainant to drive on the
night shift, which in the past had
been restricted to white drivers.
When White was asked about
the reaction of his fellow drivers
he said it had been good with
few exceptions. Some of the Ne
gro drivers, who are the chief
beneficiaries of the fight he car
ried on won't speak to him now

to, sooner or later.

He said he had heard that Ne
gro drivers were barred from the
night shift but he didn't believe
it. He soon found out when after
three requests to management he
finally was told in the latter part
of September there was an agree
ment which did not allow Negro
drivers to work on the night shift"
White went to the Minneapolis
Urban League to investigate the
so-called agreement.
He found that such an agreement
had been verbally made with no
date set for its termination, upon
the cab firms plea, that since they
were setting a new PRECEDENT it
would be best to use Negro driv-
ers only on the day shift to start.
The Urban League officials
are reported to have said that
such an agreement was only of
tentative nature and should have
been terminated at least after
the first year of experience.
When White could get no place
with his employer he filed a COM
plant with the Minneapolis FEP
commission in November of 1859
that he was being Disseminated
against
In December the commission
summoned the Blue & White Cab
Co. to a hearing. At that time
the Blue and White representa-
tives pointed out to the commission
that Airway Cab Co., had not hired
a single Negro driver.
At the same meeting the firm
representatives and its counsel
promised the discrimination
against Maurice White would be
ended.
Three months later on March
"A, White appeared before the
commission to report that Blue &
White still refused to allow him
to drive on the night shift.
He stated the reason offered by
Blue & White was that Airway
Cab still would not employ Negro
drivers. an excuse which White
felt had nothing to do with
the discrimination being practiCed
against him.

chosen from Psalms 116-12, What

all his benefits toward me?" The
pastor pointed out that man may
rise high in the worlds eye, but
without God he faces ultimate
doom. Man cannot make it without
God, when God takes his hands off
That's All" In conclusion the

fails it is because he has failed
God.
