Vast Majority Favor Curb
On Prices, JAW Board Says
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, April 20-The vast
ma jority of the American people
says the executive board of the CIO
United Auto Workers, are in favor
of price control, and Congress "is
caving in under the pressure of
powerful big business lobbies."
The board in a statement yester-
day said the action of the House
in voting to extend price controls
with added amendments would in
crease the cost of living from 80 to
so per cent in year.
The board said it would mobilize
its 100000 members to convey the
political facts of life to members of
Congress who voted for the destruc-
ton of price control"
1--WE are confident that the Amer
ican people will no longer tolerate
such fragrant irresponsibility and
will know how to apply the cure"
the boards statement said. Those
who prove faithless to public trust
must be removed from public office -

COMMITTEE OKAYS
ANTI-RACKET BILL
Measure BY Aiken Would
Bar Unions Exacting
Tribute OF Farmers

WASHINGTON, March 20.-P)--
The Senate Labor committee com
pleted action on its labor disputes
LEGISLATION Wednesday by adding
L prohibition against unions ex'
acting tribute" from farmers de-
livering perishable commodities to
market.
The amendment, which Senator
Taft (R-Ohio) called "Bob-talled
version of the Hobbs anti-racketeer-
ing BILL" was sponsored by Senator
Aiken tR-Vt0 and approved to 4.
Heavy Fine
It would make it a misdemeanor
to use violence or threats 10 pre-
vent a farmer from Transporting
perishable farm products or to
require him to make a payment
to labor organization. Violations
would be punishable by fine of
$1,000 or Imprisonment OF a year.
1t is aimed at a practice against
which Congress long has received
complaints. This is the stand by
some unions in larger cities that
farmers delivering to markets
must pay the charges for union
truck driver and union unloaders
even though the farmer does the
driving and unloading himself.
Pigeon-Holed
The House several times has
passed a bill by Rep. Hobbs
DALAI to halt this and other
practices Hobbs calls "racketeer-
Ing" but the Senate always has
pigeon-holed 1t.
Taft voted against the Akin
amendment as did Senators La
Toilette (Prog. Wis.,, Ball (R-
Mimi and Smith GRIND. Taft
told reporters the opposition was
on the ground that the amendment
is "clearly discriminatory in
that it is limited to farmers.
Backing it were Senators Aiken,
Ellender O-La), Guffey D-PaD,
Morse (R-Ore.) and Murray Cd
Mont).
