Bill for Wider Curb
On Racketeering
Passes House Unit
Committee Members So,
Measure Would Permit
Prosecution Of Unions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation broadening the
1884 Anti -Racketeering Act to
subject labor organizations to
prosecution for interference with
interstate commerce was ap-
proved today by a House Judi
ciary Subcommittee.
Introduced by Representative
Hobbs, Democrat, of Alabama, the
bill does not specifically refer to
unions in any Of its provisions. But
committee members said it was des-
ignated to meet situation growing
out of recent court rulings that
labor unions could not be prosecuted
under the 1884 act for interfering
with truckers who had not complied
with union regulations.
Labor spokesmen had opposed the
legislation on the grounds it was
too broad and indefinite.
The bill amends the 1884 law by
defining robbery" and "extortion"
to include the taking or obtaining
of property by actual or threatened
force, or violence, or fear OF in
jury"
1t provides for maximum penalties
of 20 years imprisonment and a
$4,000 fine for violations.
Mr.. Hobbs said a new section,
added at the request Of Joseph B.
Eastman, defense transportation CO.
ordinator, prohibits interference
with or obstruction of interstate
commerce by physical force or in
timidation."
Truckers and farm groups con-
tended during hearings that the
LEGISLATION was necessary to prevent
union agents from stopping trucks
and compelling the operators to pro-
duce union cards or employ union
workers to assist them in unload
ing.
