The court also ordered the union's referral system sus pended. This will be replaced by referral procedures which the court will devise within 30 days. As it reached the Federal court, the Dobbins case com bined an action brought against the union local by the NAACP under the 1866 Act and an ac tion brought by the U.S. De partment of Justice under Title Vn of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In commenting on the deci sion, Robert Carter, general counsel for the NAACP, said: "This means that the 1866 Act bars private as well as public discrimination In em ployment. In effect a private litigant no longer will have to rely on the Equal Employment Opportunity provision in the 1964 Civil Rights Act to file suit in Federal Court." "The effect of the ruling," Mr. Carter continued, 'is to bring the activitis of all craft unions who refer workers to construction contractors within the category of public function or state control." Mr. Dobbins, 36 years of age, is a graduate of a Cincinnati vocational high school and Hampton Institute, with a bachelor degree in electricity and trade education.
