Anti-Strike Act Comment
Majority of Editorial Writers Back
CONGRESS in Overriding Veto

dence in his policies on the home
front
Hartford Comm Times-The leg
islation is an expression Of wide
spread impatience over labor strikes
in war time 4. The President is
keeping his pro-labor record intact.
Norfolk tVa.) Ledger Dispatch:
The masses of the people consider
that his veto of the anti-strike bill
was but another manifestation of
the Presidents unwillingness to
come to grips with these men.
Chicago Sun: 1he Connally-
Smith bill !. reveals how deeply
John L. Lewis has stabbed organized
labor in the back. There is no point
in condemning Congress offhand for
this triumph of passion over calm
judgment. The passion was aroused
by a just indignation +. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, by his veto. proved
himself once more a wise friend of
labor.
Kansas City Star-The quick
action of both the Senate and
the House in overriding the
Presidents veto of the anti-strike
bill, is undoubtedly reflection of
the overwhelming sentiment of The
American people
Indianapolis Star-Congress was
not merely expressing its disap-
proval of the action the President
had taken in vetoing the bill. 1t
was asserting itself In what was a
fight between the power of Govern
ment and John L. Lewis. The issue
was whether Lewis or Congress
makes the laws by which he is
expected to abide.
Richmond Observation-Disclosures
we have vivid illustration of the
extent to which Mr.. Roosevelt has
lost his grip on Congress. Even
though Mr.. Roosevelt was able to
point out serious weaknesses and
incongruities in the Connally-Smith
bill, the House and Senate doubt
less wished to register their impa-
tience If not their distrust, over the
wretched handling of the coal
crisis"
The Louisville Tirnes-That the
anti-strike bill is defective many
observers who sanction action of
Congress will, beyond reasonable
doubt. agree. Many will not march
so far with the President as to say
1t will foment strikes. But 1t
has expressed the mood of the Ma
tion.
st. Paul Pioneer Express-John L.
Lewis becomes the latest addition to
the list of those who have learned
that no one defies American pub
lie opinion and comes out on top.
Cleveland Plain Dealer-The swift
and decisive votes constitute
the most stinging' defeat suffered by
the New Deal in its 10 years in
power. The passage of the labor bill
gives genuine hope that this Con-
greSS will not fail.

In the forefront OF speculation
here was whether the act might be
applied in the coal controversy If
any considerable number of miners
continues the work stoppage this
week.
The act forbids anyone from aid
Ing or promoting a strike in a war
plant or mine which has been taken
over by the Government, though 1t
contains no barrier against an in
dividual's stopping work of his own
accord.
Thus 1T might be invoked against
pickets In the coal fields or against
anyone who publicly urged con-
tinuance OF the work stoppages,
$4,000 Fines Possible.
Under the act, enforcement of the
ban against aiding or promoting a
strike falls on the Justice DEPART
ment. Violators are subject to fines
OF up TO 5000 or Imprisonment OF
up to one year.
President William Green of the
AFL and Philip Murray of the Clio
reiterated their no strike pledges
in letters to Mr.. Roosevelt in which
each also sharply criticized Con-
gress.
Mr.. Green declared that labor
and all its friends are inexpressibly
shocked by the hasty and impetuous
action OF Congress in overriding
your veto"
by their procedure" he added,
the members of Congress demon
strated they were moved by anger
and resentment rather than by
careful consideration Of the facts" !"
He went on to say the AFL mem
bers would do everything in their
power to make application of this
law unnecessary and to further the
successful prosecution of the war"
Aid in Averting Dangers Pledged.
Mr.. Murray told the President
that his veto message correctly
stated the danger of strikes and
stoppages" arising from some pro-
visions of the act.
Because this is true" he told
the president, sit shall be our pur-
pose to do everything possible to
avert the obvious dangers arising
out of it,"
Mr.. Murray advised Mr.. Roosevelt
that he was calling the CIO Execu-
tive Board into session July 7 to give
mature and orderly consideration to
the many perplexing problems which
as you doubtless know labor will be
confronted with as a result of the
action of the Congress.
Some other labor men were less
restrained in their criticism of the
legislators.
Hystericaf Law Assailed.
Geirge l.. Googe. southern vice
president of the AFL, declared at
Spartanburg, S. c.. that rs per cent
of those voting to override the veto
would be defeated in the next two
years. He denounced the act itself
as 'hysterical legislation"
Thomas White, ST.. president, and
Walter j. Burke, secretary-treasurer
of the Wisconsin CIO Council, in a
joint statement termed the act mot
only anti-labor, but anti-war as
well"
Thomas A. Murray, president of
the New York State Federation of
Labor, said 1t imposed involuntary
servitude on American workers"

East Coast Oil Supply
Still Low, Expert Says
Gives Four Reasons for
Secretly in This Section
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. June 26.--While
the petroleum industry has per-
formed real transportation mira
Gle" in moving oil the East Coast,
stocks available for civilian use are
still far below safe and efiicfent
levels, DR.. Robert E, Wilson, New
York petroleum economist, said to-
day.
Addressing the Interstate Oil Com
pact Commission which represents
producers of 80 per cent of the ma
tion's petroleum output, Mr. Wilson
cited these reasons why East Coast
stocks have not reflected improve
ment:
l. Unexpectedly large military de-
mands.
2. A belated spring, increasing oil
demands above estimates, and delay
ing movements through the Great
Lakes.
3. Considerable unnecessary use of
gasoline by the public during re-
Taxation of the pleasure driving ban.
4. The washout of the big-inch
line and the interruption of tank car
movements by the Midwest floods.
Both the ban on pleasure driving
and the 40 per cent reduction in
"T"' coupons were necessary to meet
the emergency situation, Mr. Wilson
said, adding that these measures
will apparently have to be con-
tinued until stocks can be restored
to reasonably safe working levels" "
However, the mere existence by
next winter" he said, "of more
transportation to the East Coast
than was available In normal times
gives that area much better protec-
ton against unexpected emergen-
cies than it had last winter"

Former Dewey Assistant
Opposes Draft Movement

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, June 20 John B.
Quinn, who was assistant manager
in Nebraska for Thomas E. Dewey's
campaign for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination in 1940, said to-
day he believes an attempt, to start
a draft Dewey" movement in the
Midwest is ill-advised.
John SAMSON, president of the
Nebraska Young Republicans, said
earlier In the week that a Midwest
draft Dewey" conference is being
planned, and may be held within
the next 80 days.
Mr.. Quinn, national vice presi-
dent OF the Young Republicans, said
he doubts seriously the success of
such venture. Mr.. Quinn declared
that Mr.. Dewey has said repeatedly
that he is not a candidate, and that
he reiterated his position while at
tending the recent Governors con-
ference at Columbus, Ohio.

LONDON, June 26-Bob Hope
the comedian who is here to enter
tain American troops, had expected
to make quiet visit today to his
99-year-old grandfather, James
Hope, in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, but
crowds pounced on him for auto
graphs and handshakes and he was
obliged to run for his car.
Grandfather Hope, grinning and
wearing a rose in his coat lapel,
said Bob's visit made him forget he
had not been well. He added he
had tried most of the day to bor-
row an American flag for the oc-
casion, but had to be satisfied with
three Union Jacks instead.
You look swell, granddad," Bob
greeted him.
You look just topping yourself" !"
Mr.. Hope said, beaming.
The grandfather will be 100 on
August 81. Bob said he would try
to be around for the celebration.

Ring Prep Hints
Jack Isn't Ace
As Pilot Says
Montgomery Bout Due
Friday, Beou Still
Needs Ring Tutor
BY SID FEDER.

w
NEW YORK, MAY 20.-1t now de-
velops that your ears have taken all
that beating for nothing during the
past six months or so while Chick
the Hercules Wergeles was trying to
convince you of the mighty merits
of his Beau Jack as a fist-ighter.
The Hercules. you undoubtedly re-
call. is the little guy who can get
more mileage out of his syllables
than one-cylinder jalopy out of
l00-octane gas And for half a year
now you've had to head for the
storm cellars. because he strictly was
a fllibuster telling you that as q
boxer the jumping Jack was a cross
between Joe Louis and the British
9th Army.
He kept at it while most of the
"smarties" along Bash Boulevard
maintained that the Beau was Just
good club fighter" lucky enough
to come along when classy light
weights were as rare as bananas
and that the first time he matched
his slam-bang piie-i and punch
stuff with a real good fighter he'd
wind up out in left field like a
double by Di Maggie.
And it turns out now that maybe
they had something there all the
time. For, despite the Hercules few
thousand words, it was learned today
that an SOS was sent out couple
of weeks ago for George Gainford,
one of the better-known developers
| of Negro fighters for Is years, to
teach the Beau-of all things-how
to fight.
Now the story was that George
was brought in simply to condition
the Beau for his Friday night title
tilt with Bobcat Bob Montgomery of
Philadelphia. But he is tutoring
the Beau in things like how to throw
right cross and how to use a left
hand in inside fighting. Jacks con-
ditioning is being cared for by his
regular handlers.
So maybe the Hercules now will
change his script. You can only
hope the new one will be in
pantomine.
