Truman Is Reported
Undecided on Hobbs
'knti-Racket' Bill
BY the Associated Press

Presldent Truman was reported
yesterday as undecided what to do
about the Hobbs labor "antiracket-
eerlng" bill although many of his
friends on Capitol Hill said they be-
heved he would let it become law.
Officials who discussed the matter
with the President after the Senate
unexpectedly. passed the measure
Friday said they gained the i'm
preston Mr.. Truman would like to
sign it but remains dubious about
Its effect without an amendment
labor organizations had suggested.
Denouncing the bill as "antilabor"
IN its existing form, the CIO pro-
posed last week that it be amended
to exempt legitimate labor activities
such as picketing from its felony
penalties. The President himself had
suggested the same sort of provision
When he vetoed the Case bill con-
tanning the identical wording of the
Hobbs measure.
A surprise move by Senator Hatch,
Democrat. of New Mexico, long-tim
friend of Mr.. Truman, put the anti
facketeering" proposal through the
Senate without any amendment on
an apparently unanimous voice vote.
Senator Hatch said he is confident
Mr.. Truman will sign it as it stands.
Another Senator said he was in
! formed the Justice Department is
recommending that the President
.~permit it to become law
:, 1t Mr.. Truman takes that course,
capitol Hill observers say he again
will have swung toward the middle
of the political road after bearing
: flght with his demands for broad
emergency powers to curb strikes
and veering left again with the
. Case bill veto which the CIO and
other labor organizations had de-
manded.
- II Mr.. Truman elects to veto the
Hobbs bill, administration lieuten-
Asnts believed he would return it with
e message saying he would be glad
ito sign such measure if labor's
legitimate rights were protected.
:, The Hobbs bill supporters con-
.tended that there is no ground for
gear that any of these rights will
DE lnfringed, as the bill now stands.
They pointed out that provisions of
the Wagner, Norris-La Guardia
Ant1-injunction and Railway Media
zion Acts are specifically exempted
from the terms of the new measure.
!. The bill defines robbery and ex-
tortion, laying severe penalties for
employment of such tactics to halt
interstate commerce.
Backers of the bill said it origi-
nally was offered in Congress after
the Supreme Court had ruled the
general antiracketeering statute of
1885 did not apply to labor unions.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota, asserted if the amendments
proposed by the CIO and reputedly
favored by Mr.. Truman had been
attached to the bill they would
have had the effect of STRENGTHENING

present statute.

Coal Operators Hit
j. ). Stand on Union
Status Of Foremen
BY the kssocioied Press

The National Coal Association
executive secretary yesterday de-
scribed Government intervention In
the controversy over unionization
of mine foremen as another glar-
ing example" of the use of wal
powers ito rule industry by edict.
John D. Battle, spokesman for
the association, said in a statement
that the industry believes that the
unionization of its supervisory en-
ployes is contrary to the intent and
provisions of the Wagner Act and
the industry is attempting to OBJ
tain a judicial determination of this
issue by the courts"
The Government is operating the
mines, under seizure and negotiat-
ing with supervisory workers

for agreement to Cover forener

mines in-Western Pennsylvania.
U. S. Obstruction Charged.
Mr.. Battle accused the Govern
ment, which fought court restrain
ing order, of using "every resource
at it's command" to prevent the
court adjudication.
He complained also that the Gov
eminent ccepted, without Con-
suItihg The operators. costly terms
dictated by John L. Lewis and
passed on this cost to the public and
the industry"
The reference was to OPA price
increases handed down Friday
ranging from 10 cents to $1.47 q
ton.
"All of this causes us to wonder
is the Government trying to make
it impossible for owners to regain
their properties?" Mr.. Battle asked
rs this q step toward nationaliza-
ton of vital industry through
the powers of labor leaders,"
Moreell Explains Position.
Admiral Ben Moreell, coal mines
administrator, told a reporter be-
fore the coal association statement
was issued that:
THE letter and spirit of the
Krug-Lewis agreement requires that
the Coal Mines Administration pro-
coed as expeditiously as practicable
with the negotiation of agreements
for clerks and supervisors at mines
where bargaining agent has been
certified by the National Labor Re-
lations Board, with the proviso that
the right Of the operators to
eventual adjustment of the matter
by court action will be preserved
to the operators"
Meantime, the Solid Fuels Ad-
ministration reported bituminous
coal production was down 1872 per
cent this year up to mid-June as

$50 MANY hands will produce

be better off to say $50 few hands

OF course there are deals on
which the same number of tricks
can be taken-evcn those on
which you can make more at No
