San Francisco is on its way to the adoption of a city ordinance setting up a Fair Employment Practices Commission forbidding discrimination in employment on grounds of race, religion or national origin.

The city’s Board of Supervisors is to discuss the ordinance again at next Monday’s meeting, but has already approved the measure tentatively by a vote of 7 to 4. The fight for passage of an FEPC ordinance here has been before the Board of Supervisors for six years.
