Mr. POWELL. Without objection, it will be incorporated in the record.

(The document referred to is as follows:)

MINORITY VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIIVE CLARE E. HOFFMAN, OF MICHIGAN

The bill is based upon certain findings of fact and a declaration of policy. If the findings be erroneous, or the declaration of policy unsound, the bill should be recommitted.

FINDINGS

The reason given for the adoption of this proposed legislation is that, due to discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, and ancestry, less than a full measure of employment (a) has caused industrial strife; (b) forced large groups of our population into permanently substandard living conditions, which, in turn, has (c) created a drain upon the resources of the Nation, (d) a permanent threat to industrial peace and to a standard of living necessary to the health, efficiency, and well-being of workers.

To give Congress jurisdiction to enact legislation to end the discrimination, it is charged that such discrimination in industries engaged in commerce, or in the production of goods for commerce, causes the spread of such discrimination and a diminution of employment and wages to such an extent that it impairs and disrupts the market for goods and obstructs commerce.

The bill then states the obvious fact that individuals should have the right to work without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, or ancestry; but it pointedly ignores the equally obvious fact that individuals have the right to work without discrimination because of membership or nonmembership in a labor union.

DECLARATION OF POLICY

The declaration of policy is somewhat like the false front on the country store, in that, instead of being a two-story measure to end discrimination against the worker, it wholly ignores the discrimination which permits the levying of a tax upon the overwhelming majority of workers, bars thousands of others from the more lucrative jobs, and makes no effort at all to eliminate, even in wartime, the principal cause of industrial strife which has cost millions of man-days of work.

The foregoing is true for the reason that, while the bill avers that it is the policy of Congress to protect the right to work without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, or ancestry, it makes no attempt to end the discrimination practiced because of lack of union membership.

It takes no more than a moment's consideration to show that the bill is not one to end discrimination against workers as a class, for, under it, a black, yellow, or brown individual, be he Jew, Catholic, Protestant, atheist, or infidel, if he be a member of a union, is protected, while, though he be white, a Jew, Catholic, or Protestant, but not a member of a union, he may seek employment in vain. Even his Government will in many cases issue an order requiring him to become or to remain a member of a union.

REASON FOR PROPOSED LEGISLATION

In truth and in fact, while the avowed purpose of the bill is to end discrimination, give equality of opportunity, in employment, another objective is to bring about, through Federal legislation, a social intermingling (and some advocate intermarriage) among the races.

Others support the bill because it is believed that, by so doing, the political support of the Negro as a race can be obtained for certain candidates or partisan measures. Neither major party is without sin in this last respect.

THE BILL'S SUPPORTERS

Good citizens, sincere in their convictions, in a hurry to see all Negroes in possession of jobs, homes, and as well educated and financially established as is the average white, believe this legislation will do for the Negro what others think can be accomplished only by time and education.
