ANTIRACKETEERING BILL
Washington Post)

Opposition to the Hobbs anracketeerng bill in the House seems to have set new record for demagogy. The bill wildly denounced by Representative Gal lagher declaration of war against organized la bor Representative Celler thundered Tt is strike breaking bill It is time bomb with false labei. IL is booby trap aimed at labor, only wrapped up in sken terms. What the bill will actually do, Ii ap- proved by the Senate and the President to forbid the obstruction of interstate commerce by of robbery and -XtOrtiOn.
 Mr. Celer also went great pains to show that laws against robbery and eXtoron already the books That of course precisely what Congress believed up until 1922 It had passed the existing Antracketeerng Act back in 1884 protect interstate commerce from interruption by budgeon squads hghwaymen or other strong-arm men But three years ago the Supreme Court tore away important segment of that act by ruling that it did not the racket of New York union of ''teamSters' who beating up truck drV entering the city and collecting fees without per forming any work. MT. Ceer admitted that the team sters union guilty of the vilest kind of ofenses but he asked the House not to egSlae because Dane4 Tot:.i had already cracked down the New York teamsters He bandy ignores the fact that the Supreme Court has egitimized the offense
 Now we do not rely upon Eric Johnston protect the public from racketeering businessmen. It would be equally absurd to rely upon labor union chefains, matter how and publicsprited their attitude may be, to protect the public against robbery and tortion by organized gangs disgusting their operations labor activities Boiled down to it's essence the cry against this bill was an argument to let extortioners and racketeers alone for fear of entrenchng upon col lective bargaining rights But even that argument absurd well unreasonable, for the bill carries safeguarding clause expressly excluding any modified ton of the Clayton Act Norrs-La Guarda Act Rail- way Labor Act and the National Labor Relations Act
 This is the second time the House has passed this sructve and desirable piece of antracketeerng legis lation It is high time for the Senate to recognize the bill for what it isa national and necessary weapon against robbers and extortioners-and to write into the law Crime is not to be condoned simply because it is disguised legitimate labor activity

MEAT SHORTAGE FOR
WINTER is FORESEEN

Chicago.-The nations dinner
tables will be short of meat again
this fall and winter, agriculture
experts said.
But they added that the pros
poets for more steaks and pork
chops by next spring were good.
Some believed there would be
more meat next spring and sum-
mer than at any time since World
War II started.
The corn crop is the key to the
meat outlook, they said. If corn
is plentiful, farmers will feed
more of it to livestock. Fatter
animals mean more meat.
This years corn crop promises
to surpass all previous records.
The bumper crop has been esti-
mated at 100000 bushels.
Large crops of oats, barley and
hay also are anticipated, all OF
which adds up to more meat.
