Joseph Overton, vice presi­ dent of the Negro Apwrican La­ bor Council and business agent with Local 388, RWDSU, this week called upon all leaders of labor unions in New York City to assist In finding employment for the estimated 80,000 unemployed youth in the Harlem and Bedford- Stuyvesant areas. The prominent labor leader, who last week was elected as the New York • New England Reg­ ion Il’s candidate for the NAACP’s national Board of Di­ rectors, said he was also launch­ ing a drive to get every worker In America covered under the na­ tional minimum wage law The NAACP designation Is almost tantamount to election next Dec­ f m for those now covered would only put greater division be­ tween the earning power of Negro and white workers," the 43-year- old lab->r leader declared. ‘Tf the coverage is extended tc all wv»rkeri it will increase the -income not only in the Negro community for the workers, but it will nuo increase the income of the professionals and business­ men who are now doing business In the Negro communities," Mr. Overton stated. Considered one of Harlem’s best known labor officials, Mr. Overton Is vice president of the Negro American Labor Council, executive director of the Negro Labor Committee, and a Delegate to the NYC Central Trades Coun­ cil. He has been closely allied with A. Philip Randolph in all of hie crusading labor activities ever the past 20 years, and ia current­ ly active in the propoeed march on Washington. He was one of the coordinators of the 19S7 Prayer Pilgrimage to Washington and in 1958 he worked with the Youth March to Washington. Mr. Overton served two terms, in 1968 and 19S9, as president of the New York Branch NAACP, and has maintained continuing in­ terest in the organization, being one of its largest membership re­ cruiters in the city.

Overton’s selection for the NAACP board was considered significant In that the only other labor official now on the board is Walter Reuther, powerful AFL- C1O president of the United Auto Workers, and was seen as un In­ dication of the board’s develop­ ing a more “grass roots ap­ proach" to get to the masses of Negroes throughout the country. Mr. Overton pointed out in an interview in his offices at 312 W. 125th St., that a change was need­ ed in the National Labor Rela­ tions Act to cover all workers be­ cause the vast majority of Negro workers today are in jobs which are paid below the minimum, wages and they are “viciously exploited."

A second recommendation cov­ ering Journeymen asked “that any person who passes such a test be allowed, Immediately upon passage of such test, to Join the union having Jurisdict­ ion over the particular trade involved.” The committee said the three- man panel’s report showed “pro­ gress in thinking ln its propos­ als for admission of non-whites into the building trades unions,” but on a number of points was “weak” and offered no “sub­ stitute for meaningful action.” CoofradictkMM I< added that the “dear pat­ tern” of nonwhite exclusion from the construction unions “con­ tradicts" assertions by Peter Brennan, president of the Build­ ing and Construction Trades Council. Brennan had said ‘‘there Is no discrimination in building trades unions,” which Rivera said, should be tested by the union’s publishing of statistics "showing the number of non­ whites in the various building trades unions in relation to the total membership of the respec­ tive unions.” Publishing of such statistics, the committee charged, “would prove that blatant discrimina­ tion Is the well-established prac tice of these unions."

This brought the Division’s complaint total to 402 for the fiscal year ending June 30—a 57% increase over the preceding year.

Ask Suspension They were also accompanied by a demand from the committee that Wagner and Rockefeller im­ mediately “suspend {none 5<&- Jects until demands are met.” One of the recommendations called for no placement of “spon­ sorship or other artificial bar­ riers’’ on the entry of a non­ white applicant to the appren­ ticeship program of the build­ ing trades unions Another called for the trans­ mission by construction unions of all “names, addresses and other pertinent information con cerning nU applicants for any. training programs to the. .
