Oregon Panelists' Civil Rights Views Noted in Pamphlet
THURSDAY. JUNE 13. ItSS
Salem - How does Oregon
measure up in the practice of
civil rights?
Seventeen prominent Ore
gonians exchange views on
the subject in a publication
released by Labor Commis
sioner Norman O. Nilsen. Dis
crimination in Oregon is
termed "silent" but actual and
the way in which it is met
important "In germinating
either beneficial or harmful
elements in the state"s econo
my." The panelists generally fa
vor a "frontal attack" on spots
weak in providing equal op
portunity to minority groups.
any groups. It is part of a
Panel on Progress series con
ducted by Dr. Eric J. Weiss,
research director of the Bu
reau of Labor. The series fea
tures views of leading citizens
The pamphlet introduces ; on social and economic issues
the panel members as coming
from "different walks of life
and economic sections but
speaking on the problems of
race relations as individuals
and not as representatives of lot 1949
bearing upon laws under the
labor bureau's jurisdiction.
Oregon civil rights adminis
tration dates to the Fair Em
ployment Practices enactment
me new pamphlet has a
lively and hignly Informative
dialogue that explores ques
tions of greatest concern to
Negro citizens - employment,
education and union member
ship. The panelists suggest
some break in the baffling si
lence cloaking discriminatory
practices in employment
might be made by employers,
professional associations and
unions affirming non-discrimi
nation policies in public state
ments. Alerting minority
youth to the possibilities for
acquiring marketable skills
through vocational training,
apprenticeship and other
learner jobs was another
recommendation.
More than half of the
panelists favor inclusion of a
non-discrimination clause in
union contracts based on fed
eral law. Unanimously fav
ored was a similar clause in
the charters of local unions
but half of those approving
such action would not go so
far as placing it under federal
enforcement.
The discussion covers "the
career barriers that frequent
ly run like an invisible wall
before the Negro college
graduate when he seeks to
apply his abilities in the work
ing world." Proposals for de
segregating schools thrcugh a
program of student exchange
from district to district are
considered. The panelists also
venture into reasons for "the
small number of minority
group members in financial,
public utility and other insti
tutions and on the executive
level in all businesses."
Permissible Tool
Little justification is found
for exempting employers with
less than six employees from
Oregon's FEP Law. Consumer
buying is adjudged a permis
sible tool against discrimina
tion in employment but doubt
is expressed on its effective
ness in Oregon since minority
groups comprise a small per
centage of the citizenry.
Dr. Weiss asserts he en
countered some reluctance
among well-known citizens to
participate in the civil rights
panel because "of becoming
involved in controversy". He
regards those who served on
the panel, however, as "par
ticularly well enlightened on
the subject and forthright in
D 3
expressing their views on race
relation problems."
