NOT SATISFIED WITH
 THE TRANSPORTATION ACT

Chicago, Oct. 30.-The transportation act needs some legislative dentistry to provide against future railroad strikes, Ben W. Hooper, vice chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board, as- serted today in an address before the mems classc fo a local church.
 In my judgment congress should not have perpetrated the irony of pulling the boards teeth and then telling it to go forth and bite those who interrupt traf- fic and strangle commerce." he said.
 '"rhe transportation act under which the board onssates is unique in one re- agency of the government that does not possess the power to infiict pena ties for the violation of it's decisions.
 The transportation act uses the word shall up to a certain point and there it's mandatory provisions cease. It says that the carriers and employees shall confer and negotiate for the settlement of their disputes. that if they do not agree they shall take the matter up to the railroad labor board. and that the board 'shalp decide the dispute.
 Lust here the law ceases to be imper- tive It provides that if the board, up been violated, it may make public its de- cision in such manner as it may deter mine
 1 "In other words the board may point the finger of scorn at the vio' ator, and call down upon it's head the denunciation of the public.''
