INTER-COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS PRESIDENT URGES PASSAGE OF PROP. 11 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5-Antonio A. Gonzales, president of the Filipino Inter-Community Organizations of the \ "estern States, today appealed for full support of the California Fair Employ· ment Practices Act, on the November ballot as Proposition No. 11. The FEPC Act would make it illegal for employers and unions to discriminate against members of minority groups because of race, creed or color. It sets up a five-man commission which would im•esti!!llte discrimination in hiring and order discriminatory practices stopped. "No decent man or woman can oppose the Fair Employment Practices Act," Go~zales said. "Only bigots and enemies of American democracy can oppose legislation which would only give all men their constitutia11at rights to earn a living regardless of race, creed or color. "The FEPC Act is eminently fair and just legislation. It will be an economic advantage to employers as well as to workers. "I urge all those who believe in American democracy to work for the passage of the Fair Employment Practices Act, on the November 5th ballot as Proposition No. 11." Ir. formation concerning the Act, and ;nformation on how it can be helped, ran be obtained at San Francisco headoaurters, 2 I 6 Market Street, or at 541 S.
