legal legal. You must obey the law. You must obey the law. You must obey the law. You must obey the law. We found the picketing amusing what they're complaining about. Isn't there a practice that all newspapers follow?

00:00:57.290 - 00:01:18.510

It's an individual decision that a publisher makes. Some papers do publish one. Help wanted column mixing male and female. Help wanted ads together. Others I do have it segregated because it makes it easier on the job seeker. A man doesn't have to wade through a list

00:01:18.510 - 00:01:31.040

of secretarial jobs that he might not be interested in at all. He goes to a male column because he's more likely to find a job that would interest him women the same way they they're looking for a particular type of work. And it makes it it's

00:01:31.050 - 00:01:47.140

a service to the reader. What do you say to those charges that that kind of segregation is against the law? Well, it isn't against the law. We wouldn't be doing it. They say it violates the civil rights act of Well, no publisher is going to violate

00:01:47.140 - 00:02:22.190

the law. What's your general feeling about the national organization of women's complaints? Yeah, I don't know what they're, all their complaints are. Sure. Mm hmm. We feel that by advertising male female, that there are many jobs that females will be qualified for, but they're discouraged from

00:02:22.190 - 00:02:41.510

applying for them because they specifically are advertised under male columns. So that if there is discrimination intended on the part of an employer, the newspapers are aiding and abetting the employer in discriminating so that the opportunities are not equal for men and women and the jobs

00:02:41.510 - 00:02:59.960

that they're advertising? What do you say to those publishers who say that the people who phone in the ads are by the ads request that they be run that way. It's against the Fair Employment practices act for them to aid, And I bet an employer who

00:02:59.960 - 00:03:09.560

insists on discriminating based on sex, so they're as much in violation of the law as the employer is in running his advertisement that way.
