Oakville, posted $1,000 bonds In the
superior court today following their
arrests on bench warrants issued by
Superior Court Judge william H.

accused of robbing the Gulf Gas
Station on Watertown avenue on

relic of 1855 Davis strete, Water
town, who is expected to be brought
to court for posting ofb a bond Ia
ter in the day.
The three youths took grease
drums, tires, spark plugs and var
ious car accessories, valued at 1898.

The justice department has issued
no new instructions to its district
attorneys for enforcing the law, but
is expected to do so shortly.
The law forbids any person to "co-
cree, instigate, induce, conspire with
or encourage any person" to strike
in a government-seized plant or
mine. Hence it presumably would
affect those miners who have pick
eted coal pits this week and urged
fellow members not to work.
Violation of the law subjects the
violator to maximum penalty Of
one year in prison and a 5000 fine.
Although the bill specifically ex-
empts workers whose only offense
is ceasing to work, Sen. Frederick
Van Mugs, D., Ind, of the Senate
judiciary committee, said any tsrik-
er would be guilty of "conspiring"
in walkout.
Should the government use the
Smith Connally law to penalize min
ers in another strike or against those
who still refuse to resume work, the
UNIV undoubtedly would challenge
the act in court. In that test 1t

the nature of democracy" in vetoing
the bill
But he charged that absence OF a
number of congressman made it
possible for a congressional clique
to engineer sneak attack on the
commander-in-chief by rushing
through the overriding of the veto
within minutes of its announce
ment."
1.-THE absentee congressman must
share the blame for a major dis
aston equivalent to a real military
defeat for democracyq," he said. He
predicted popular resentment would
reach the ears of congress and COM
pei repeal of the bill.
The bill was passed and Sus-
tanned over veto by a coalition of
Democrats and Republicans in
which southern Democrats, notably,
were for Nrike curbs in both House
and Senate. A similar combina-
ton has hammered the administra-
ton hard this session although CIV
Ing overwhelming support to war
appropriations and such like. But
the anti-adminiStration coalition
drove Leon Henderson out of the
Office of Price Administration, it
blocked confirmation of Edward j.
Flynn as minister to Australia, it
prevented Rep. Vito Marcantonio,
American-Laborite, N. Y, from OBJ
tanning a covted place on the jul
dietary committee, it has cut ap-
preparations for OPA and half-ob-
liberated the Office of War Infor-
nation in House votes and 1t re-
pealed Mr.. Roosevelt's order that
no salaried individual should receive
more than 5000 year, after tax
es. The same group IS maneuver-
ing to check the administration on
the issue of price roll-back sub
sides.
The veto message was an open in
vitation to compromise. 1t practi-
cally invited Congress to redraft
the bill with suggested modifica-
tons which were known to be salts
factory to the Senate, although not
to the House. But when the White
House compromise offer came, it
proved to be too little and too late.
The veto was licked by narrow mar
gins in both Houses. But the vote
was no fluke.
In the House and Senate the bill
got more votes on the veto issue
than on original passage: Sc to Is
in the Senate and 244 to 108 in the
House on the veto; SIS to % and
2l9 to 122 on original passage.
There is no majority in Congress
for repeater material modification
If any-of fundamental admin
istration labor policies such as the
wage-hour and Wagner Labor Rela-
lions acts. But Congress has bolted
the President on his handling of
war time strikes and has substituted
its own policies for those of the
administration.
Meanwhile, labor observers pre-
dicted that organized labor will con-
tinue its fight against the anti
strike law in congress or in the
courts.
Throughout the long congressional
fight over the measure, labor lead
ers resisted 1t bitterly and they re-
fused to surrender vn when con-
grss rejected the veto.
Leaders of both the CLIO and
the American Federation of Labor
are expected to study the law i'm
mediately to evaculate its effect
on the WLB and to discuss methods
of contesting 1t.

This issue is not trivial unless
human freedom Is trivial. Do YOU
realize what such absurd regula-
tons are doing to the respect for
all law in the minds of the people
upon whom we must depend for ex-
ample in law observance?
IF any bureaucrat can dictate
the personal lives of our people
against the welfare of the country,
as you are trying to do, and get
away with it, to that exen freedom
is gone. :.
Freedom does mater to some of
us. We hate Hitlerism abroad but
we detest 1t at home. We shall do
all we can to fight it in both places
but If we must begin, it will be at
home"
