Hobbs Bill Doesn't Hit Lawful Unions-Padway

INDIANAPOLIS (LPA) = The Hobbs (anti-racketeering) law, op- posed by all sections of organized la bor, in no way affects the lawful activities that unions have engaged in prior to the passage of the Hobbs Bill" AFL General Counsel Joseph Padway declared this week.
 Writing in the International Team ster, monthly magazine of the Intl Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL, Pad way said that the Hobbs law 'fdoes not create any new classification of crime or crimes. It does not enact any new definition of crime or crimes. It merely makes robbery and extortion. as now defined under state laws crimes under the federal laws when robbery and extortion are committed 1n interstate commerce."

AFL Supporting M usicians In Lea Bill Fight
Executive Council Says Law Brushes American
 Workers Freedom

CHICAGO (FP)-The AFL exec utive council has pledged the fed eration's full support to the Amer ican Federation of Musicians in its fight against the Lea act which, it said, contains principles that would crush the freedom of all American workers and destroy the American labor movement
 The act, aimed specifically at the ATM, declares a broadcaster alone may determine the number of people he will employ and makes it a crime tor the union to attempt to enforce the employment of additional person nel
 Seeks Test
 ATM Pres. James C. Petrillo has personally challenged the act by order ing a strike against Chicago radio station WAAF to compel them to hire three persons the station considers unnecessary" Petrillo filed a motion in court charging the act violates four constitutional amendments after the government, in a criminal informa- tion, accused him of violating the law.
 The council declared the meas ure represents the lowest point in our history of national labor legis- lation. Never before has any Congress so openly indulged in such fragrant discrimination in fa- vor of a powerful industry, the broadcasting industry, and in un- fair opposition to the workers, the American musicians, who made possible the phenomenal success of that industry.'

)n Building Trades Open Drive To Abolish Wage BOard

nutualIy-arrived at agreements, despite the fact that they were negotiated in good faith by labor and management.
 DISCRIMINATION
 2. The building trades are the only section of labor whose wage rates are subject to control, through action by the Wage Adjustment Board. This is discrimination of the rankest kind. There is no reason why one section of labor should be subject to controls, when the remainder are not.
 8. There is overwhelming evi- dence that the decisions of the Wage Adjustment Board are arbi- trary. Thus, wage increases grant ed in one city, will be less than those granted to neighbOring city of comparable size. Similarly, in- creases will be granted in one city, and will be denied in another city, although basic conditions are the same.
 REJECT VACATIONS
 "The Board has arbitrarily reject ed the principle of paid vacations, de- spite the fact that they were agreed upon by labor and management. Some sixty million American workers enjoy vacations with pay. The Boards de cision against paid vacations for the building trades is another example of its discriminatory policies.
 "A. It has been fully proven that the Board is not impartial. Its rul- ings, i'll almost every case, favor man. agement.
 s. By its arbitrary and dis criminatOry actions, the Wage Ad- justment Board is causing organ ized labor to distrust government agencies. It has aroused much antagonism against the govern ment, making labor the victim of employer provOcatiOns, which has resulted in chaos and strikes throughout the country.
 "Be It Finally Resolved, That Painters Union No. 186, in special meeting assembled, expresses its con- viction that the Wage Adjustment Board has outlived its usefulness, and by its illegal and arbitrary actions, is serving as a brake on Stabilization and reconversion, and in no way helps to prevent imitation.
 HOUSING BLOCKED
 ''The program of our govern ment and of the building trades to provide adequate housing for our veterans is being seriously inter- fered with by the continued exist ence of the Wage Adjustment Board. We call upon the Federal government, our international un- ions, and that section of manage ment which sis interested in main taining constructive relationships with organized labor, to work for the elimination of the Wage Ad- justment Board at the earliest pos sible time.
 "Be It Finally Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to the chairman of the Wage Stablization Board, the chairman of the Wage Adjustment Board, to the A.F.L. Building Trades Department, to the Connecticut Building Trades Council, and to the press"

All Locals Urged ToAdopt Resolution
(Continued from Page Onel

(Continued from Page One) pIOyers were told that the entire issue would be reOpened in two weeks if no favorable action had resulted. The local accepted the report, and voted to return to work Tuesday.
 CARPENTERS, PLUMBERS
 New Haven's plumbers, carpenters, and locals throughout the state are having similar experiences, and re- ports received from many sections ot the country show that Connecticut IS no exception. In almost all cases, em- ployers are willing to pay the in creases asked for by the unions. The result is that organized laor is forced to strike, not against the employer, but against the Wage Adjustment Board.
 It is for this reason that the following resolution, presented to the New Haven Building Trades Council by President Saul Kreas, should be adopted by all locals and councils as their own resolution, and immediately forwarded to their internatiOnals, the A.F.L. Building Trades Department, and to the Wage Adjustment Board itself:
 RESOLUTION
 RESOLVED, That we, the New Haven Building and Construction Trades Council, assembled at a special meeting in the New Haven Labor Temple on Monday, August 19, l94o, do hereby go on record for the aboll- tion of the Wage Adjustment Board. Our reasons are as follows:
 "I. The decisions of the Board interfere with the normal pro- cesses of collective bargaining be- tween organized labor and man. agement. Under the law of our land. agreements arrived at between labor and management are bind ing. Nevertheless, the Wage Adjust ment Board in hundreds upon hun- dreds of cases, has taken it upon itself to nulIify or modify those

Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
Since most of Nogales' boys have
returned and more returning every
day with wives and families, the
housing situation is far more criti-
cal than is realized.
After weeks of waiting and search
ing for homes, it is found that
countless single business men, who
could do just as we'll in furnished
room, are occupying apartments
and homes. Kitchen privileges, as
well as all other extra rooms are
seldom, if ever, used by them.
These homes would be the answer
to the veterans prayers, and the
first step to his "real homelife, :"
which he has dreamed of for so
long.
Between now and the times more
homes are built, cooperation is
greatly needed among the citizens
of Nogales, to help accommodate
our boys as they return.
