quit discriminating, in effect,
what the Fair Employment
tice committee has said to
railroad carriers and seven uii-
ions as a result of its findings
based upon evidence presented
at the hearings held here Sept,
15 to 18 into complaints of dis-
crimination in employment pol-
icies and practices.
Notices lo l lu cauit ‘ ind
th unions were sent out two )
weeks ago with requests that
| the' groups report to the
mittee within on 30 Hone days r\r\ on steps
taken to comply with the
tive.
Meanwhile, it is understood,
the New York Central system
and the Pennsylvania railroad
have show neven more of a dis-'
position to settle their differ-
ences with the committee. Doubt
was expressed, however, that
the southern lines would do any
thing independently. A forma-
la for joint action was said to
be under consideration in some
quarters. j
In its findings, the FEPC
ed as unfair the policies of
certain railroad unions which, it
said, • discriminate against Nf-
groes, because of race, in regard
to membership, thus rendering
it impossible (for said Negroes)
to have any adequate voice w
representation with respect to
grievances and the negotiation
of agreements affecting working
conditions, employment policy,
practices and opportunities. In
each case the union was told
to “cease and desist.”
The unions cited were the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men and Enginemen; Broth-
erhood of Railroad Trainmen-
Order of Railway Conductors;
Erotherhood of Railway Car-
men of Amer ica; Brotherhood
Locomotive Engineers; Inter-
national Association of Machin
ists and the International
Brotherhood of Boilermakers,
Iron Shipbuilders and Helpers
of America. None of the un-
ions put in an official appear-
ance at the hearings. j
The committee, in its findings
took a hefty blow at the south-
conference agreement
between the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive comotive Firemen Firemen and and Engine- Engine-
men and 10 railroads.
The agreement, the FEPC rul-
cd, is designed for no other
purpose than to cut down the
