Anti Bill
Draws Fire of Unionists
Hobbs Bill Tarsst Of Concerted
Action by lobov Groups

Spokesman for the American
Federation of Labor the Con-
gress of Industrial Organiza-
tons and the Brotherhood OF
Railway -rainmen to voice their
protests.
Displaying a letter from Go
President Philip Murray con-
demning the bill, SABBATH said
he would insist that the hearings,
resumed today after tWo-day
recess, be thrown open.
He made no attempt to con-
ceal his own opposition to the
measure, which would make LA
Dor organizations subject to
prosecution under the 1884 anti
racketeering act for any inter-
fetrence with interstate COM
merce.
This is no time to rock the
boat" SABBATH said. Labor is
doing a fine job in industry to
help us win the war. I don't
think it would be wise to an
tagonize them now"
Murray's letter to SABBATH said
tn, bill poses as a curb on
racketeering" but "the simple
truth is" its authors seek mere
ly to eliminate present language
protecting legitimate labor act
ivities and to insert language
such as has been used by anti
labor courts in decades past to
outlaw the very existence OF
organizations of working men
and women"
Should Sabath's views prevail
and the committee decide to hear
outside witnesses. the first prob
ably would be Joseph A. Pad
way, general counsel for the
ALL. Padway contends that
what the bill REALLY does is to
delimit labor's peaceful and or
binary activities by the method
of a straight criminal statute.
50 broadly worded as to afford
a threat TO, il not to actually
prescribe, almost all o. the usu-
al peaceful and ordinary ACTIVE
ties of labor organizations"
If the legislation is enacted,
Padway said, any union member
who takes part in q strike Will
be liable to 20 years imprson-
ment and a $4,000 fine.
Rep. Hobbs (D-Ala). author
of the bill, declares 1t Is not
aimed at labor but at ANYONE
who unlawfully interferes with
interstate commerce, whether he
carries a union card or not.
For example, he said it would
prevent union agents from fore
ing truck operators to hire un.
ion assistants whether the oper-
ators need them or not.
AS the rules committee tsckl-
ed the Hobbs bill, Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga) announced the
Naval Affairs Committee would
start public hearings probably
next week on bill to require
Navy contractors to report to-
local draft boards the names or
employees absent from work
without just cause.
