IN COMMERCE

Legislation an Outgrowth Of Charges Against Teamsters Union. WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. P).

~The Hobbs bill, signed and sealed |

by congress was sent to President Truman today after a four-year legislative battle touched off by charges of racketeering in the trucking unions.

The measure, which has been the subject of heated debate in both houses of congress since 1942, passed the senate late yesterday without a dissenting vote. It provides a fine of $10,000 and 20 years in prison for violators. At present, federal anti-racketeering laws are not applicable to unions or their leaders. Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M), long a personal friend of Mr. Truman, said he was “confident” that the President would sign the bill. He was joined by Rep. Jennings Randolph (D. W. Va.), a leader of the house pro-labor bloc; who said it was legislation “that is very much needed.” :

Aimed at ‘Extortion’

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Sam Hobbs (D. Ala.), would prevent any-

one imposing a “burden” on interstate commerce by “robbery or extortion.” Proponents of the bill have claimed that it is general legislation designed to cover a multitude of situations. But the bill was born specificially out of a supreme court decision in early 1942 concerning local 807 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The local had been charged with violation of the Copeland act, designed to prevent racketeering in interstate commerce. The union was accused of stopping trucks entering New York City and demanding that the wages of a union driver be paid for .entering the city. In testimony before the court, it was claimed that many of the trucks were driven by union drivers from !'~w Jersey and other states but that the extra wages were demanded anyway,

Unionists Held Exempt

The majority opinion, delivered by former Associate Justice James F. Byrnes, held that the union members could not be held guilty of extortion as long as they were bona fide union members and demanded no more than a day's wages. The latter was $9.42 for a heavy truck and $841 for a light truck. Senator Hobbs introduced a bill to impose heavy penalties upon “racketeers” in interstate commerce

} and it was passed by the house In|. ... robbing him: of $75 in cash

the spring of 1942. But it was pigeonholed by the senate judiciary committee for the remainder of that session. Mr. Hobbs reintroduced the bill in the next congress but no action was taken until December of last year when it was passed again by the house. The senate several weeks ago attached it as a rider to the Case strike control bill

Asked Careful Study

When President Truman vetoed the Case bill early this month, he said there should be careful study of the anti-racketeering measure to determine that it does not violate the fundamental rights of labor. Mr. Hobbs said, however, that the bill states specifically that rights guaranteed by the Wagner act, the railroad retirement act, the fair labor standards act and the Norris-LaGuardia act are not to be interfered with, “These four acts are considered the Magna Charta of labor,” he added. “This bill does not invade the legitimate rights of the unions. It need not trouble an honest man.” Senator Hatch said that President Truman’s veto of the Case bill could not be considered an adequate indication of the fate of the Hobbs bill. The legislation, he said, had been “misrepresented” to the President at the time.

DENNING TO SPEED VETERAN HOUSING

Plans designed to speed veteran housing facilities in the Indianapolis area were made today with the appointment of P. B, Denning as locality expediter for the Veterans Emergency Housing Program.

GET IN POLITICS, WOMEN ADVISED

Must Do Part for Peace, Club Federation Told.

CHICAGO, June 22 (U. P)~— Authoress Fannie Hurst believes that peace in a man's world depends on political activity of women, and that congress should have “48 women instead of five or six.” Miss Hurst told 4500 members of the General Federation of Women's clubs, whose convention closes today, that women must “learn to use politics for the purpose for which politics were intended.” Speaking at the largest single session of the convention Miss Hurst said, “This is an important hour in America's timetable.” Must Assert Selves “There is no hope that this man’s world can become a people's world unless the women become politically active,” she said. Women must learn politics are not “merely stuffy and shady negotiations” confined to departments of men's activities, she said. Convention delegates earlier in the day passed resolutions calling for legislation to force both business and labor to protect the general public during their disputes; to enable residents of the District of Columbia to vote; international court of ‘justice, and to make an educational and spiritual program an intrinsic part of any plan for compulsory military training.

TIRE MAKING AT GENERAL HALTED

AKRON, O,, June 22 (U. P.) —Production of tires and rubber goods at the General Tire & Rubber Co here was suspended completely today due to a strike of 2200 mem-
