Trade Union Bias
Hurting Negro Workers

after more than five years Of the
broad national pattern Of racial
discrimination"
Mr.. Hill outlined NAACP plans
to present new legislation that
would give the government more
power to halt such discrimination.
The NAACP will attempt to
develop new labor laws which may
be as important TO Negro work
ers as the NAACP school desegre-
cation victories were TO Negro
children" he declared.
Among the proposed laws that
will be presented to Congress
soon is one that would authorize
the Department OF Labor to with
hold certification and public
funds from union training pro-
grams that exclude Negroes. Such
a bill is TO be introduced by Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell. Chairman
Of the House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor. The NAACP
will also call upon the National
Labor Relations Board to refuse
certification TO any trade union
that practice discrimination.
Dir. Hill declared that token in
tegrstion in trade unions was no
better than token Indignation in
schools.
