First Anti-Lobor
Bill Appears
In Congress
Hobbs Anti-Racketeering
Bill Reported Out
OF Committee
By Federated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 = Sam
Hobbs of Alabama, whose labor
batting is a recurring feature of
every session Of the House, sue
ceeded in having the 18th Congress
first anti-labor bill, his so-called
anti-racketeering bill, HR 653, re-
ported out Of the judiciary commit
tee Jan. %.
1t was blitzed out by the commit
tee, which fought successfully to
keep off Representative Vito Mar
cantonio, AFL, New York, without
even a semblancC Of hearing and
with only two dissenting votes.
This bears out Marcantonio's re-
cent statement made in connection
with his refusal of a place on the
House Labor Committee. He said
he understood all labor bills would
be steered into the judiciary COM
mittee, and if he couldn't be there,
where his terms entitled him to be,
he would not take any committee
position.
Bill Died Last Year
The same bill which last year
after extended hearings and plenty
of protests from organized labor
died in the rules committee, was
called a drastic federal police
measure affecting all labor unions
throughout the country" in a min
ority report by Representatives
Emanuel Celler, Democrat, New
York; and Thomas j. Lane, Demo
crat, Massachusetts.
. Pointing ont that unions hsEe
pledged themselves not to strike
for the wars duration, "a pledge
virtually 1000 fulfilled" the min
ority report says there is COM
plete absence of any need for fed
eral regulation of unions.
The bill would place unions under
the 1884 act created to cope with
gangsters in interstate commerce,
the report says, on the basis of a
Superior Court decision involving
Local 807, international Brother
hood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs
(AFL).
1t goes on to explain that Presi-
dent Daniel j. Tobin of the team
sters not only disavowed the prac-
tees attributed to Local 807 but
issued an order prohibiting such
conduct.

When organizational activities
were resumed by the UAW-CIO
last fall at the Standard Products
Co., James Crowley, CIO organizer,
predicted a raise would be given
by the company to, defeat efforts
to secure CIO membership.
At the present time, the COM
pany has an application for a raise
to the employees before the Ma
tional War Labor Board.
FIGHT UAW-CIO
Every effort has been made to
defeat and handicap efforts of
Standard Products employees from
joining the UAW-CIO including at
tacks by the Port Clinton paper
and claims of Editor Krupp that
Port Clinton doesn't need any "out-
siders" coming in to organize the
Standard Products employees and
that the company dominated union
was getting along fine"
Dominated by Alvin Foust, Sec
retary of the company dominated
union, other members of the

going over to the UAW although
several Of them are known to be
favorable to the UAW, particularly
since the election two years ago
when the Boosters" won the bar
gaining rights and then did moth
ing for the employees of the plant
until the UAW again became ac-
tive in organizing.
NO COMPARISON
Members of the company domi-
mated union are beginning to ask
embarrassing questions and are
rapidly coming to see that there is
no comparison between the CIO
and their own little union. Many

For the past nine weeks, Bushey
has been confined to the city barns
bv AF. Of L. business agents who
refused to permit him to take out
his truck because he left the Az
of L. and joined the State, County
and Municipal Workers, ClO.
VISIT BUSHEY HOME
Last Wednesday evening, two
AT. of L. business agents called
at the Bushey home to discuss Mr..
Bushey's union status. When they
were admitted to the home by Mrs.
Bushey, they asked her to leave
the room because they wanted to
talk privately to her husband.
The two AF. of L. agents known
s-ss Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Mcclure, the
A'er claiming to be from New
s.r <, then asked Bushey why he
90 not leave the CIO and return
the AF. of L.
Bushey said, because the AF. of
L. didn't do anything for me and l
paid 50 a month dues" Bushey in
formed the two business agents,
IF that's what you're here for,
you might as well be on your way,
because I'm not coming back to the
AT. of L."
Dean then said, "You might as
we'll stay home tomorrow, because
you're not going to work, and If
you do work, you'll not get paid
for it. If you don't come back to
the AT. of L. you'll be sorry"
BLAME AT. of L.
Mrs. Bushey was emphatic in
her accusations against the AT. OF
L. She had heard the entire con-
versation between her husband and
the business agents and accused
Dean of being under the influence
of LIQUOR. She said, "these business
agents have the full run at the
barn my husband works out of.
They don't remain outside but
come into the office and the barn
and make themselves at home"
Safety Director Edward DEAN
gelo when queried by the Toledo
Union Journal said that he had
heard that the AT. of L. business
agents who had prevented Bushey
from taking out his truck had been
going into the barn and office, but
that a stop had been put to this
practice several days ago.
KEEP NAME OFF BALLOT
CIO city workers went into
court two weeks ago and received
an injunction keeping their name
off the ballots for the election
which the AT. of L. had city Coun-
ell call to determine the bargain
ing agent for the city employees.
Officials of the State, County
and Municipal Workers pointed out
that the water works department
is nearly 100 per cent CIO and
that there are approximately $50
CIO members in the employ of the
. city. They were unanimous in
condemning the violence to which
Mr.. Bushey was subjected.
Thomas Russell, executive Sc
cretary of the Toledo Industrial
Council, CIO commenting about the
the case said, with the garbage
situation in Toledo presenting a
serious problem, the AF of l. adds
to the difficulty of garbage re-
moval by preventing a man from
working who insists on his demo-
cratic right of belonging to a
union of his own choice. Settling
union differences by violence never
has worked and l certainly think
that peaceful methods could be en-
ployed more effectively"
Mr.. Bushey will be unable to
work for eight or nine weeks.

NotionaI Body
Meets at Local IL
Local II Scene Of
Quarterly Meeting
OF NGAIC

Local II played host to the
quarterly meeting of the National
Gear, Axle and Iron Council, UAW-
CIO, Saturday, January 80.
Regional Director Richard Cos
ser welcomed the meeting of the
Council to Local IL while Thomas
Burke, financial secretary, extend
ed the courtesies and facilities of
the Local to the visiting delegates.
Preceding the general meeting
of delegates was a meeting of the
executive board which wrote sew
eral resolutions later submitted to
the delegates for their considera-
ton.
PROTEST TO NWLB
Principle among several resolu-
tions voted on by the delegates was
one calling upon the National War
Labor Board to re-examine the
formula upon which the board
bases its judgments relative to
wage increases. The resolution
called attention to the cost of llv-
ing formula set up by the board as
Is per cent since January, 194l,
whereas it was the contention OF
the convention that the cost of llv-
ing had increased considerably
more than that set up by the
NWLB to guide itself in granting
or rejecting wage adjustments.
ELECTION HELD
Election of officers for the ensu-
ing year was one of the principal
considerations of the meeting. Fol
lowing were eelcted: Harold G
Wilson, Local 652, Lansing, Mich.
president; Charles DeGroff, Local
II, Toledo, vice-president; Fred

Trained for Job in Reich,
Ex-Bund Press Chief Soys

CHICAGO, May 13 (P).-A former
publicity agent for the German
American Bund related yesterday
that he studied at a Nazi propa- :
ganda school in Germany before he
received his job in this country.

of New York, who said he was ap-
pointed national press chief of the
Bund and editor of the newspa-
per, Observation-Disclosures, in 1887 by
Bund Fuehrer Fritz Kuhn.
Winderscheidt was witness
in standardization proceedings
against nine erstWhile Bund mem
bers as the Government sought to
prove the Bund was an arm of
Hitlers government
He testified he went to Germany

While in the Reich, he added, he
attended a school for opagandists
at Hamburg together with "Nazi
representatives" from China. Japan,
