New Deal Liberals Protest
Anti Trust Labor Inquiry

munity the preceding clause Is UNI
necessary. Since there l. an am
biguity, It IS proper to go back Of
the law and study its legislative his
tory.
When this section of the clayton
act was before congress, the de-
partment continues, its sponsors
denied that 1t was intended to sup
ply exemption from al angles of
the antitrust laws. Furthermore,
it is pointed out, an amendment
which would fatty have stated
that nothing in the ANTITRUST laws
should apply to any labor organi-
zation was voted down. Hence 1t
Is argued that the intent of con-
gress was to provide a very limited
exemption.
LABOR PROTECTED
AGAINST DISSOLUTION
What that exemption was intend
ed to provide, the department
spokesman continue, was simply
prOtecVlon against OuCrlgnC ulsSolu"
ton Of q labor union by court Or
der.
The famous Standard Oil case,
in which a federal court had Or
dered Standard Oil dissolved un-
der the antitrust laws, was then
fresh in the public memory, and
Samuel Gompers was fearful that
some court might some day order
q similar dissolution Of q labor
union. That, the department holds,
was all this section Of the clayton
act was supposed to prevent. :.
Obviously, there Is a good deal
Of debatable ground here which
won't be cleared up until the SUI
prene court has ruled. The fate
of the departments present cam
paign, then, as far as 1t applies to
the building trades unions, won't
be settled until some test case or
other has been taken. to the high
court for decision.

Is ambiguous.
LAW GRANTS
EXEMPTION TO LABOR
Section Six Of the clayton Act
says that nothing in the ANTITRUST
laws shall be construed to forbid the
existence and operation Of labor or
CARNATIONS, or ito forbid or restrain
individual members of such organi-
nations from lawfully carrying out
the legitimate objects thereof"
The department Of justice bases
its present building trades investt-
cation on the assertion that the
observation-disclosures operations II
complains of do not carry out the
legitimate objects" Of trade unions
and that the members engaging In
them are not lawfully" carrying
them out in any case.
The next clause Of Section Six,
however. adds:
mo shall such organizations or
the members thereof be held or
construed to be illegal combina-
tons in restraint Of trade under
the anti-trtust laws"
CONFLICT OVER
INTERPRETATION
This, according to the abor group,
means that the antitrust laws Just
don't apply to labor unions no mat
ter what they do or how they do It,
The department replies that this
final clause doesn't refer to the
acts of the unions or their men,
bers, and that If 1t grants full Inn

SCHOOL BUS Law

Police in the State are enforcing
the school bus law this year. The
law says that all traffic must come
to a standstill while any school bus
is receiving or discharging passen-
gers. This means in front of the bus
as well as behind it. In spite of
safety campaigns being waged in
schools children are apt to forget
all about the rules and dash madly
across the highway without stop
ping to look. II this should happen
in front of car travelling at high
rate of speed an accident Is almost
inevitable; and the driver Is the
one at fault. If motorists are stop
ped when the children are getting
on or on the buses it Is almost i'm
possible for an accident to occur.
The few minutes lost by the auto
mobilist in avoiding q caualty is
certainly worth it.
