Party Heads Welcome
S Signature
OF Hobbs Labor Bill
Many Feel President
Hos Reeoined Friends
Lost in Cose Act Veto
By the Associuted Press

President Truman put the So
called Hobbs Antiracketeering
Act on the statute books today
despite the bitter opposition of
organized labor.
The Presidents action received
warm approval in most quarters on
Capitol Hill, although some foes OF
the legislation condemned his deci-
sion.
For the moment, union leaders had
nothing to say about the failure OF
their long fight of more than three
years to keep the Hobbs measure
from becoming law.
Several legislators. said Mr.. Tru-
mans action will do much to help
restore friendly relations with
Democratic party members who were
irked last month by his veto of the
Case labor disputes bill, which en-
bodied similar provisions.
Later DrlVe seen.
| Some of them declared the action
would give impetus to their drive
later-probably not until next ses-
,sion-for broad, new labor regula.
tory legislation.
Even those who criticized the
presidential decision praised the
the manner in which he made II
known-through special message
to Congress, giving his reasons fol-
the move. Usually President sends
such messages only when he vetoes
a bill
The measure, as signed by Mr.
Truman late yesterday, makes it 6
felony to interfere with movement
of goods in interstate commerce BY
robbery or eXtortion' or by threat t.
of violence.
It's author, Representative Hobbs
Democrat, of Alabama, said the
chief purpose of the bill is to per.
NIT farmers to take their goods tt
market without interference by
unions. This has not always beer
possible in the past, he declared.
First General Statute.
The first labor law of general ap.
plication to be enacted in the Tru.
man administration, the Legislation
provides for fines up to $4,000 anc
prison terms of up to 20 years fol
violators
Observation-Disclosures, Amer.
lean Labor, of New York, one of the
bills chief critics, termed Mr.. Tru.
MANS action tragic and unfortu.
nate" He added, however, that I'VE
are hopeful, because of the way the
presidential message is worded that
the law will be enforced by the
courts in a manner which will moi
be harmful to labor"
Mr.. Marcantonio told a reporter
he referred specifically to the Presi-
dents language in saying he signed
the bill with the understanding
that it lis not intended to deprive
labor of any of its recognized rights
including the right to strike and tC
picket and to take other legitimate
and peaceful concerted action"
Mr.. Truman said in his message
to Congress he reached that "un.
derstanding" on the basis of ar
opinion from the Attorney General,
who advised him that the legislative
history of the measure and its Ian.
guage both confirm such a view.

the Austrian problem. On June l
I had circulated a proposed draft
treaty recognizing the independence
of Austria and providing for the
withdrawal of the occupying troops.
The British also had submitted a
draft for consideration. I asked
that the deputies be directed to
prepare the treaty.
Counter Proposal by Soviets.
The Soviets submitted a counter
proposal calling first for further
action to insure the denazification
Of Austria and the removal of a
large number of displaced persons
from Austria whom they regard as
unfriendly to them.
The British and French were
willing to join us in submitting to
the deputies the consideration of
the treaty and in requesting the
Control Council to investigate and
report on the progress of denazifica-
tion and on the problem Of the dis
placed persons. But the Soviets
were unwilling to agree to the depu-
ties taking up the Austrian treaty
until more tangible action was taken
on these other two problems.
We recognize the seriousness of
these problems and have been
graphing with them. The problem
of displaced persons is particularly
difficult to solve. Where they are
willing we help them to return to
their homes. But many refuse to
return to their own countries be-
cause they fear death or imprison-
ment for their political views. Our
tradition of protecting political
refugees Is too precious for us to
consent to the mass expulsion of
these people from our zone. The
