Beaver Falls, Pa.-Local Union No.
33 held election of officers at its
December meeting. This was quite
an election, with a spirited battle to
the end, Howard Harris being elected
our president for the next six months.
All other officers were reelected.
Our local membership was saddened
by the death of Brother John HAM
mer, handler, who passed away De-
cember 10. John was a well known
figure in the sports world, being
match maker at the old Nonpariel
Athletic Club.
We are losing four of our members

Company B, 10th Infantry is mo-
bilized and start training at Indian
town Gap, Pa. We will miss these men,
but duty to ones country is important
at this time. These members, Privates
James Greco, Joe Peluso, Steve Salt
ers and Corporal Melvin Peluso, have

Vice presidents Frank Hull and
George Turner paid US a visit last
week. They settled several problems
for us, but we are still looking for
ward to a visit from our national
president. 1t looks as though we
will be unable to receive a conference
report until after the next session, but
good raise would suit US fine.
Work here has been very good, but
when you are permitted to only work
40 hours per week, it keeps person
humping to make ends meet. Pro-
duction is good and we hope it will
keep this way for many months.
At our last meeting all officers were
installed. Our new president went
right to work, appointing Harry
Shook, Walter Cowan and Bill Owary
on the shop committee.
We are glad to note the improve
ment in Mr.. Ben Hardesty who has
been ill for the past six weeks. We
will certainly be pleased when he is
able to be back on the plant, as we
all miss him very much. Our plant
has been hit badly by the flu epidemic,

Antitrust Suits
Stopped By Recent
High Court Ruling
A. F. of L. Position Upheld In
Decision Ousting Case
Against Carpenters

Washington, D. C.-In one of the
most important legal decisions in a
decade, the Supreme Court of the
United States ruled that labor unions
are immune from prosecution under
the antitrust laws SO long as they
do not combine with non-labor groups.
This sweeping decision was full
vindication Of the position Of the
American Federation of Labor and
must result in wiping out practically
all Of the indictments found against
unions at the instigation Of Assistant
Attorney General Thurman Arnold.
The Supreme Court decision was re-
turned in the case of an indictment
against President William L. Hutche-
son and other officers of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers growing out of a jurisdictional
dispute at the St. Louis plant of An
heuser- Busch, Inc. The high court
threw out the indictment, just as the
lower courts had done.
But in its 5 to decision, the Su-
preme Court went much further than
passing on this specific case. 1t laid
down broad and liberal interpreta-
ton Of the antitrust laws as applied
to labor unions which fully upheld and
justified the parental contentious Of
the American Federation of Labor.

interest,"" said the majority decision
