that tribunal, on the fantastic theory
that Congress had intended to sane

union cards, reversed the conviction.
The Hobbs bill which died in l943, and
the bill now before the Senate commit

effects of that decision, and to squeich

approving eye on the teamsters' racket.

CHECKLIST OF HARRY
S. TRUMAN'S
VOTING RECORD

WASHINGTON. - (FP) ~ The voting
record of Harry S. Truman as U. S.
Senator from Missouri and briefly as
vice president makes some interesting
reading for all Americans.
Here are some Of the highlights.
Back in 1885, Senator Truman voted
for the Wagner Labor Relations Act;
the Social Security Act; loans to permit
tenant farmers to purchase land; adher-
ence to the world court to strengthen
the authority of IVA.
The year 1886 found Truman backing
the veterans bonus; federal financing OF
flood control; soil conservation.
In 1897 Truman voted for extending
the reciprocal trade agreements act; the
Guffey bituminous coal act; more iva
expansion; the wage-hour law; low cost
housing; confirming Hugo Black To the
Supreme Court; putting the CCC on a
permanent basis.
Following up in 1888, Truman voted
to limit Senate debate on the anti-lynch-
ing bill but the poll-taXers won and the
filihuster was successful. He was fol
the amendment to the housing act tc
stimulate construction by private capital
AS the war drew near in 1899 he voted
to revise the neutrality act; favored the
big public works program of that yeal
and backed increased funds to probe
civil liberty violations.
In 1910 Truman was strongly support
ing the bill to bar strike breakers ano
labor spies in labor disputes; he was fol
limiting campaign donations to $4,000
again favored extension of the recipro-
cal trade program.
Lend lease won Truman's support II
194l, along with a 81 billion appropria-
ton; favoring giving FDR power to taxi
over struck defense plants and repeating
the neutrality act He opposed limiting
the use of the armed services to thJ
western hemisphere.
With the nation at war in 1912 Tru
man favored the price control act, sol
der vote act again stood up for tn
liberal cause and fought To limit debate
on the poll-tax bill, but the tories wor
again by filibuster
In l943 Truman favored the extension
OF reciprocal trade agreements; continu
ing the NYA; for a pay increase to rail
road workers; backed the Connally reso
luton advocating an International Sc
curity organization. He opposed an'
voted against the Smith -Connally anti
strike bill and unsuccessfully supporte,
FDR's veto of that law.
The year 1874 found Truman backin
the bill exempting unions, farm cooper
atives and other tax-exempt Organiza
tions from filing financial reports H
again unsuccessfully voted for cloture o
the poll-tax bill He was against tn
George plan of state control of unem
ployment compensation and with FDl
opposed raising the Little Steel Formula
He won the fight against 1iquidatin
FEPC and also stood on the right sid
against the so-called States rights" sol
der vote bill which was defeated.
Only one opportunity to vote came t
Truman as vice president in l945. H

He was reminded that the union leader
