N.Y. State Assembly Passes Bill Against Racial Discrimination

April 24, 1942
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The Assembly yesterday passed the Bollinger Bill, which would force employment agencies to insert in their advertisements the name and address of a company wanting an employe of a specific race, color or religion.

The Gutman bill, which is now in the Senate Judiciary Committee, requires that before an employment agency places an ad requesting help of a definite religion or race, it must have a statement in writing from the prospective employer, and this statement must be open for inspection by License Commissioner Moss.
