Oregon's Fair Employment
Practices Law Shows Good
Results In Its First Year
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM .T OregoD'i year-old fair employment practice! law
which guarantees to every citizen that no employer or labor union
can discriminate against him because ot his race, religion or ancestry
already hai shown big results.
This campaign against racial and religious prejudice has only start
ed. Oregon was pioneer, being the sixth state to have an FEPC law.
The 1949 legislature passed the i
law, with only six of the 90 legis
lators voting against it. But even
many of those who voted for it
had deep misgivings about it.
They feared that Communists
might take advantage by promot
ing anti-Negro feeling, inciting Ne
groes to make fake complaints.
They feared that State Labor
Commissioner W. E. Kimsey, who
enforces the 1 a w. might be
swamped with complaints.
These things didn't happen. In
fact, in the year that the law !
nas Deen in torce, only 21 persons
in the whole state complained they
were discriminated against. Six
teen of these complained against
employers, and five complained
against labor unions.
Minister Aids Law
Kimsey is aided by an advisory
committee, representing the var
ious minorities, as well as agen
cies working toward breaking
down prejudice.
Kimsey's administrator is Wil
liam Van Meter, a 37-year-old
Episcopalian clergyman. The
committee makes the policy and
sets up the educational program.
Van Meter enforces the law on
Kimsey's behalf, and carries out
the committee's policy.
If an employer or labor union
refuses to obey Kimsey, then he
can go to court and get a cir
cuit court injunction ordering the
guilty employer or union to stop
discriminating. If this order isn't
obeyed, then a $500 fine can be
levied.
Actually, the enforcement part is
the smallest part of the job. The
big task is the educational pro
gram being carried on in civic or
ganizations, schools, churches, po
litical groups, and labor and em
ployer organizations.
I n Portland, discrimination
against Negroes is the main prob
lem, Upstate, where few Negroes
live, the main problem is discrim
ination against Catholics and Jews.
Of the 21 cases where discrim
ination has been charged. 19 of
them involved Negroes. One in
volved a Jew, and the other a
minister of a religous sect.
In addition to the specific cases
investigated, there have been far
wider results.
Negroes Given New Hope
One positive result is the hope
the law has given to Negroes. Dur
ing the past year in Portland, 40
Negroes have been placed in jobs
with firms that had refused to
hire Negroes.
A big chain store in Portland
has hired its first Negro.
Negro young people now are in
terested in training themselves for
jobs, because now they see a
chance to get jobs. For instance,
4 percent of Portland's Negro
high school students plan to go to
' college, compared with the 25 per
cent of the entire population which
actually goes to college.
For instance, a man, from New
Mexico and of Spanish-American
ancestry, was teaching in a coun
try school. His school board said
he was doing a fine job.

Ethiopian Province Rebels
CAIRO tP) Ethiopia's larg
est and ricnest province is re
ported in revolt against the land
taxes and rule of Emperor Hailc
Selassie.
An informed source reported
that aroused peasants in Gojjam
province of Northirn Ethiopia had
cut the throats of two wealthy dis
trict governors. Truckloads of gov
ernment troops have been rushed
to the province to quell the dis
turbances, which broke out late in
July.
The peasants reponedly feel that
health and educatior" facilities in
Gojjam are inadequate. The re
volt was touched off by the ar
rest of some peasants and confis
cations of their lands in an ef
fort to collect . delinquent land
taxes.
The province, which formerly
had its own dynasty of kings, has
been inimical to the centralized
government since it was estab
lished and the last king of Gojjam
was deposed.
On his 58th birthday, last July
23, Haile Selassie remitted unpaid
land taxes for the years 1942 to
day that the men would not be
called in the first draft Aug. 30,
but that there is "every indication"
the local board will be called upon
to supply about 18 men after the
middle of September.
