1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, Circuit Judge:
Because they present the same legal issue, with no substantial factual differences, these cases were consolidated for appellate disposition. The District Court held that actual conciliation atempts by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [proceeding under Title VII *401of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S. C.A. § 2000e et seq.] was jurisdictionally prerequisite to the maintenance of an action in the courts under Title VII, 265 F.Supp. 56 (N.D.Ala., 1967). We reverse.
The facts in the Dent case may be taken as illustrative of the group.
