A campaign to eliminate all questions regarding religion, race, color or national origin from employment applications of war contractors in the state was started here today by the Committee on Discrimination in Employment of the State Council of Defense.
A. C. Doyle, field director of the committee, said that these questions violate the laws, recently expanded and strengthened, forbidding discrimination in employment. “If we find any war contractor who insists on retaining these questions, we will make him show cause why he should not be compelled to drop them. So far, however, they have all been cooperative,” he said.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
