Duke 17. Employes Pick

Supreme Court Reverses Eviction of Mother
School Officials
Act as Judge
And Defendant
Non-academic employees of
Duke University plan to con
tinue picketing at the adminis
tration building this week in
protest of the administration's
rejection of a demand for im
partial arbitration of labor
disputes.
The picketing began last
Thursday, and will continue
through this week, from noon
to 3 p.m. each day.
According to Oliver Harvey,
retiring president of Duke Era
ployees' Local 77. "The present
greivance procedure does not
allow for impartiality in set
tling disputes. The administra
tion officials act as both de
fendant and judge. When em
ployees have grievances, for
example when they feel that
their work loads are too heavy,
it is the administration who
decides whether these grievanc
es are valid."
I
Although the movement is
being Led by Local 77, Mr. Har
vey said, the purpose is to se
cure an impartial arbitrator in
final stages of grievances
brought by any non-academic
employee, not just by union
members.
A group of students and fac
ulty members at Duke, the Stu
dent-Faculty Friends of Local
77. have been supporting the
employee movement. Mr. Har
vey said. He added that he ex
ppcts a large number of stu
dpnts and faculty to join the
picket line this week.
According to Mr. Harvey, a
mecific case highlighting the
need for impartial arbitration
is that of Mrs. Lola Woods, a
maid in a Duke dormitory. As
a result of an '"efficiency"
study, conducted by an outside
"I'm. the Alexander Prourifoot
Co. Mrs. Woods' work load this
vear was increased by what he
feels is an "unreasonable"
amount. After a grievance
hearing, administration offici
als decided that her work load
was comparable to that of ten
other maids under the same
supervisor, and that the other
women were able to complete
the work. However, the admin
istration refused Mrs. Woods
and her representative access
to any evidence which would
show that the other maids'
work loads were as heavy and
that they were completing
them.
Part of Mrs. Woods' schedule
calls for performing the follow
ing tasks, in one hour and
twenty minutes: cleaning 12
dormitory rooms, emptying

Judge William Hastie Delivers
Address at Rochester University
ROCHESTER, N. Y. -
"Strife and discord en
gendered by racism ..will
continue to disfigure our
society and to embarrass
our efforts to solve other
problems until we deal ef
fectively with bitter minori
by discontent and sense of
frustration," Judge William
H. Hastie of the U.S. Court
of Appeals said last night
(Thursday, April 13) at the
University of Rochester.
Judge Hastie spoke at the
sixth of -the University's
Frederick Douglass Ses
quicentennial Lectures
commemorating the 150 th
anniversary of the birth of
Frederick Douglass.
Speaking on "The Negro
Militant," Hastie said it is
"simply wishful thinking to
yearn for any considerable
period of calm in which to
work out means _ fot en
abling the Negro fully to
enjoy the benefits and oppor
tunities and the acceptance
which the majority of our
citizenry enjoy as normal
incidents of their American
heritage."
Decrying a "middle of the
road" approach to racial
problems, he said that
"there will be no protracted
disengagement to permit the
gradualist to accomplish
constructive changes in a
leisurely way, in an un
agitated environment, free
from pressure.
Live dangerously—and see if
you can get away with it
Watch the fellow ahead, but
remember the fellow behind
who is after your job.
