HICKS Governor Nelson Rockefeller was flatly chal­ lenged Sunday to show his sincerity in the con­ struction job fight by barring Local 28 of the Sheet Metal Workers as the exclusive hiring agent for state financial construction projects. The challenge was hurled by Herbert Hill. NAACP labor sec retary, before a standing-room only crowd which jam packed the St. Albans Congregational Church of the Rev. Robert O. Johnson and vowed to continue the picket lines around the Rochdale proj­ ects in Queens. Mr. Hill's challenge came after he had pointed out that the State Commission on Human Rights had now found “probable cause” in the complaint of James Ballard against Local 28 of the sheet,metal workers. He charges racial bias. Hill, who was the featured speaker at the rally, told a cheer­ ing audience: “The State Commission on Hu man Rights has found, after long delay, probable cause in the complaint of James Ballard against Local 28 of the Sheet Metal Workers Union AFL-CIO. “This, of course, confirms pre vious investigations and the charges made by the NAACP’s national office that Local 23 is a lily-white union that bars qualifi­ ed Negroes from employment in its jurisdiction. We have been in­ formed that the State Commis­ sion on Human Rights will bold a hearing on September 23 on this case. I propose that Governor Rockefeller take immediate ac­ tion and declare that Local 28 can no longer be the exclusive hiring agent for state- financed construction projects and that the New York State Employment Service be em­ powered to accept applications The Governor has direct admin lstrative power to do this, and if he does not do it, then we must intensify our picketing and en­ gage in more direct action. Due Process “We, of the NAACP. certainly believe in due process, but after months and months and months of Investigations, of studies and of hearings, the Negro worker is still denied equal job opportunity in the construction trades in New York. Long term legal proce­ dures must not be used as the excuse for forever postponing justice for the Negro worker. "There has been a FEPC law in New York state for 17 years and if it had been enforced, we would not be marching on con structioh site picket lines today.’’ Mr. Hill assured the audience that these battles will not be in vain. “In coming days, with your help, we will once anf for all break the color line in the build­ ing trades unions in New York city and throughout New York state, he said.

Gal- amison agreed that this was the last chance being given the Board and the boycott would be im­ plemented if there was no sat­ isfaction after December. Rev. Galamlson also deplored Supreme Court Justice Edward G. Baker's decision last week, against the limited school inte­ gration plans for JHS 275 set up by. the Board of Education. He Red the decision contrary to the spirit and intent of the law and announced picketing of the school. DivMe and Conquer Rev. Gardner C.
