tNEW YORK. Tie Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union came in for some strong
criticism of its practices involving
Negro and Puerto Rican members
in testimony here this week be
fore subcommittee of the House
Committee on Education and La
Dor.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor sec
retary, declared in his statement
to the subcommittee:
There are virtually no Negro
and Puerto Rican members in the
locals that control access to the
well paid jobs where there is a
high degree of job stability he
said.
He said that for all practical
purposes, locals such as TO-. go and
SO are ''lily-white" while Negro
and Puerto 4Rican workers are
limited to membership in Local
% and in the unit known as 6OA,'
which he called ''the. Jim Crow
auxiliary of Local co. - % -
The average hourly wage in
| jobs within Local SOS jurisdiction
| (pressers) is $500 an hour, Mr..
Hill said. Local 60 has an all-white
membership and its jobs are the
best in New York City'S garment
industry.

there is GOA which is simply a
unit of Local go. This is almost
entirely Negro and Puerto Rican.
They work as shipping clerks,
push boys and delivery men. They
earn in the vicinity of $4,000 per
week."
Typical jobs in these categories
are floor girls, shipping clerks,
trimmers and sewing machine op-
orators in the low-priced dress
field and in the miscellaneous
locals.
Mr.. Hill concluded that the H.
GWU leadership has simply re-
fused to adjust to the fact that
non-whites make up an increasing
ly large part of New York's pop
'ulation-with heavy concentration
in the lower income categories, the
bulk of the unions constituency.

Jersey Commissioner of Education,
the complaints call upon him to
formulate and implement a state
wide policy requiring all local
boards of education to take immed-
late steps, effective as of the be-
ginning of the 1928 school term,

Such a policy was promulgated
by the California State Board Of

ance of such a policy statement,
New York State Commissioner Ol
