ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 8.
UP)-The american Federation Of
Labor offered New York City and
state authorities its cooperation to-
day in a war on labor union rack
eteers that may be the principal
field of action in a tWo-year grand
jury campaign against New York
crime.
I'VE have no idea how wide
spread rac.steering is in New York
labor but the A. F. OF L. wants
everyone who uses a union for per-
sonal gain punished" William
Green, president, said
He also sounded a note before
the council that seemed the begin
ming of a concerted attack by labor
on sales taxes. He expressed him
self as absolutely" in favor of
President Roosevelts taX-the-rich
program and said:
Labor is smarting under the
fact that the burden of relief is
being put squarely on the workers
through state sales taxes. We pro-
test against it emphatically. Every
state is passing a sales tax. Even
if some poor devil buys a casket
to bury his mother he must pay an
extra assessment on it."

Nazis themselves who did not ex-
tend totality to approved ideas.
A troublous economic situation
to which many ascribe the new

by the revelation that motor car

They ask that the foreign ex-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. UP) -
The administration new air mail
bill was before President Roosevelt
after the house had approved a
conference report on it.
The bill would continue the pres
ent maximum rate to airmail con-
tractors of 33 1-3 cents per mile,
but would direct the interstate
commerce commission to conduct
an investigation Of the eight major
lines on charges that the rate is
not high enough.
The measure also would give the
postmaster general powers to in
augurate new routes and to extend
existing routes, as well as TO super
wise labor relations among con-
tractors.
A problem, which arose because
Of the desire by west coast civic Or
ganizations for the United Airlines,
Inc, to continue to operate its
coastal route in addition TO its
transcontinental route, was settled
by declaring coastal routes second
airy rather than primary routes.
Under the law, no company would
be permitted to operate more than
one primary route. A company
may, however, operate a maximum
of three secondary routes.
