The new Michigan FEPC act became effective on October 14, and the six- member Commission appointed by Governor G. Mennen Williams officially took office. At a ceremony in his office marking the effectiveness of the new law, Governor Williams said: "Today marks a great and historic step in the direction of equal wights for every citizen of our state. I am proud that Michigan once again takes her rightful place in the forefront of the march of the Aaaerican people toward a more perfect democracy. “We have written the dignity of man into the law of our state.” Marks Victory For the Governor, it marked the culmination of seven years of effort He recommended a Fair Employment Practices act to the Michigan Legislature in his first message in January, 1949, and re peated the recommendation at every succeeding regular session until M was finally adopted in the Spring of 1955 The Fair Employment Practices Commission appointed by Gov ernor Williams is headed by Sidney M. Shevitz, Detroit attorney and former president of the Jewish Community Council of Detroit. Other members are: Mrs. Anne P. Cook, Greenville housewife; Hie Rev. John M. Finnegan, pastor of one of Detroit’s large Catholic parishes; Alex Fuller, executive vice-president of the Wayne County dO Council; Harry J. Kelley, Grand Rapids industrialist; and the Rev. Chester A. McPheeters, minister of Metropolitan Methodist Church, Detroit. Funds Granted The Legislature granted the Commission an appropriation of 950,200 for the remainder of the current fiscal year, which ends next July L Out of this fund the Commission is authorized to employ a full-time executive director at a salary of $8,500 a year, and necessary staff. Dr. Louis Friedland, associate professor of public administration at Wayne University has been named temporary acting director, un til a permanent appointment can be made. Dr. Friedland will take a leave of absence from his Wayne University duties. The new Michigan law proclaims in its preamble that “the op portunity to obtain employment” without discrimination as to race, color, religion or ancestry “is hereby recognized and declared to be a civil right.’ Summary of Law The Michigan law prohibits discrimination by employers; forbids employment agencies to specifly any discriminatory qualifications of race, color or creed; requires labor unions to admit and service members of all religions and races without discrimination; forbids the use of discriminatory help-wanted advertising, questionnaires or application blanks; and requires non-discrimination clauses in all state contracts. Michigan is the tenth state to adopt such legislation with en forcement provisions. The law authorizes the Commission, through its staff to investi gate complaints of job discrimination either by employers or labor unions, and to engage in efforts to bring about compliance with the law by conciliation. If conciliation fails the Commission’s next step is to call a public hearing at which testimony is taken, and an order to comply is issued. As a final step, the Commission may apply to the courts for an order to enforce its decision. The Commission has no direct sub pena power but may apply \o the courts to force the appearance of witnesses. The law also directs the Commission to engage in a statewide educational program to promote the elimination of racial and religi ous prejudice and discrimination. How It Was Done The history of the FEPC issue in Michigan is a story of persist ent effort to raise the question above the arena of partisan politics. In the end, the law was adopted only after a political decision at the polls. In 1949 Democratic Governor Williams made his first recommen dation for FEPC to the Republican-dominated state legislature. A few weeks later the Republican State Convention joined with the Demo cratic Convention in endorsing FEPC. But in April 1949, the Demo crats were soundly defeated in Michigans bi ennial Spring election_ and the Republican legislative leaders promptly dropped FEPC. No secret was made of the connection between the election and the attitude of the Legislature. The Detroit News bluntly said: “Prospects for a Michigan fair employment practices commission faded with the Democratic defeat at the Spring election.” Thai follewed several years in which the issue was regularly de feated in partisan votes—all Democrats in the Michigan House of Representatives voting for FEPC, and all but a few Republicans vot ing against it But although the Governor could not muster the strength in the Republican Legislature to adopt the measure, his appeals began to bave an effect A Republican champion of FEPC arose in the person of State Representative Louis C. Cramton, of Lapeer, an elder states man of his party and a former Congressman. Rep. Cramton joined with Rep. Ed Carey of Detroit, Democratic minority leader of the House, to forge a bi-partisan bloc in support of fair employment practices. in December 1953, in a moving pre-Christmas message sent direct ly to each legislator, Governor Williams again urged that “this vital question of civil liberty and equal opportunity be made an order of business transcending all political considerations” at the forthcoming 1964 session. He cited the promises of President Eisenhower to sup port state action in the field of fair employment. • That resulted in passage of an FEPC bill by the Senate. But the House killed it by a margin of six votes—all Republican. This development threw the question again into the political arena. Although the Governor and many legislators of both parties continued to work for bi-partisan support, many Democrats and friends of civil rights argued that the Michigan Republicans would never pass FEPC without the voice of the people clearly expressed at the polls. After that Cramton found the going easier among his Republican colleagues. He was joined by a group of young Republicans who rebelled against their traditional leadership. When the vote came in the 1955 session, 29 Republicans joined with the entire Democratic i Legion Is Seeking New Members Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 30 American Legion with a resolute and firm determination is ever pressing forward to higher levels and have sure overcome all ob stacles that formerly slowed us down.
