Union Charged With
In a three-day hearing end
ing Feb. ! Ip Los Angeles, a
panel of commissioners from
the California Fair Employment
Practice Commission heard
evidence in the case of a heavy
equipment operator who claim
ed he was refused employment
as a business agency by his
union only because he is Negro
and with no consideration ■'
his qualifications.
Joe Harris, -49, 1191 South
Harvard Blvd., Los Angeles,
a member of Local 12 of the In
ternational Union ol Operating
Engineers, Hoisting and Port
able Trades, A I-' 1.-CIO, claimed
that Joseph Seymour, business
manager of the union, refused
to c onsider his application
which he said lie submitted in
late 1963. Harris has been a
member of the union since 19-
42.
Testimony brought out the
fact that the 23,000-member un
ion has "from 200 to 600’*
Negro members. It was charg
ed that there are no Negroes
among the more than 100 em
ployees on the Local 12 pay
roll.
Harris’ claim of discrimina
tory treatment rested on charg
es that he had heard Seymour
tell a union meeting “nobody
can make me hire a Negro bus
iness armr.t. ” A transcript of
the revel ant portion of the meet
ing read at the hearing did not
reveal such a comment. How
ever, two union members tes
tified they hoard trie statement,
and a 1963 story in the Los
Angeles 1 ur;.>s v.as introduced,
which quoted Seymour as say
ing “The men work well with
Negroes -- hut they wouldn’t
stand for having a Negro bus
iness agent. It just wouldn’t
work at this time.”
Seymour testified that Har
ris was denied the business
agent position, not because of
his color, but Ix3cause he had

Unemployment
Lowest Since
Korean War
WASHINGTON - The 1966 un
employment rate for Negroes of
7.5 percent is the lowest since
the Korean war, Secretary of
Labor W. Williard Wirtz said,
in testimony before the Joint
Economic Committee.
Still, “there was a slight
slowdown in the rate of im
provement for Negroes com
pared with that for whites,”
the Secretary of Labor pointed
out.
"Full employment (in the
fullest sense of that term) at
wages producing a decent stand
ard of living for everyone”
should be "a first priority na
tional purpose,” Mr. Wirtz em
phasized in his opening re
marks.
