national winners in the boys divi-
sion of All movie talent contest
conducted among members through
out the nation. In recognition of this
honor, Fred will receive a $4,000
u. S. Savings Bond.
The movie, titled "Where the
Road Turns Right" is designed to
stimulate interest in All Club work

he expressed "full accord" with Sec
tion Of that measure, which con-
tanned the provisions Of the Hobbs
Bill.
Section II of the Case Bill" he
added, seriously weakened the pro-
lection afforded to labor by the Nor
ris-La Guardia Act, and correspond
ingly crippled the exceptions con-
tanned in Section Of the Case Bill
The present act, standing alone, is
not subject to this objection"
Attorney General Clark issued a
statement declaring that the bill as
a whole must be construed "in the
light of interpretative- statements
made during the Congressional de-
bate on the measure" which, he said
made it evident it was not the pur-
pose of the bill to interfere with legit-
innate union activity.
Among statements cited to bear
out his Interpretation, the Attorney
General cited one by Rep. Hobbs CD
Alabama, author Of the bill, who stat
ed the measure "exempts from the
operation of the law any conduct un-
der the antitrust statutes, under the
Norris Guardia Act, the NLRB Act
and the Railway Labor Act" the So
called Big Four that have been termed
the Magma Carta of Labor.
"On this understanding" the Presi-
dent declared in his measure to Con-
gress, II am approving the BILL"
The measure makes it a felony,
carrying fine up to $4,000 or up to
20 years in prison, or both, for illegal
interference with goods in interstate
commerce.
Meanwhile, in New York City, a
test case challenging the constitu-
tionality of the new law, was pre-
dicted by the attorney for New York
Local 807 of the International Team
sters (AFL).

Senate Fiddles With OPA
AS Initiation Sweeps Nation
Delay Costs Consumer Millions AS Profiteers Reap A
Great Harvest

Washington, d. C.-The U. S
Senate is fiddling while initiation burns
like wildfire throughout the nation
The showdown fight for strong
OPA law to put out the blaze of shock
ingly increased prices got off to woe
fully slow start in the worlds great
est deliberative body"
After breaking a weeks parliament
tary blockade which cost consumers
millions while enriching profiteers,
Senate leaders retreated from the
firm stand taken by President Truman
and gave their support to compro-
mise measure which cannot succeed in
holding the price line
A so-called compromise" sponsored
by Senate Majority Leader Barkley
admittedly repudiates some of the
basic principles enunciated by the
President in his veto message on the
original OPA extension law However,
hlCy SA PI CSSCu tllC DCllC1 CiiaC tilS
President would sign his "compro-
mise" bill if it is enacted.
The Barkley proposal would guar
antee profits to producers above costs,
but it does give the OPA some leeway
in making exceptions for the protec-
tion of consumers.
However, the anti-OPA bloc led by
Senator Taft of Ohio served notice
that they will oppose the Barkley bill
with all their power and attempt to
reanact the OPA bill in exactly the
same form as the vetoed measure.
And Senator O'Daniel, of Texas,
also issued warnings that he will again
attempt to talk the OPA to death by
launching a filibuster.
Thus, it appeared certain that the
Senate will fiddle around at least
another week, even if night sessions

are called, before deciding the issue.
Then the House of Representatives
may take a few more days to act.
Meanwhile, the American people
are being victimized. Without OPA
to protect them, prices for most COM
modities and rents have scared
throughout the nation.
But this is only the beginning. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
that wholesale prices jumped 10 per-
cent on the average during the first
week in July. These increases will
soon hit consumers a double barreled
wallop, because there is bound to be a
retail markup in addition
AS Marquis Childs, Washington
news commentator, said in his syndi-
Gated column:
"Milk goes up cents quart.
Robert Wason, of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, says con-
sumers can cure high prices by not
buying, which will be interesting
news to mothers with small children" "
Protests against the legislative de-
mise of OPA continued to pour into
Washington by the hundreds of thou
sands. With most members of Con-
gress facing reelection this Fall,
there was a run on the market for
headache cures as they tried to figure
out the effect of a SO percent increase
in the cost Of living in the next three
months, just before Election Day.
You tell 'em!

Truman Signs Hobb Bill
After Clark Assues Him
Labor's Rights Are Safe
Measure Cannot Be Interpreted "TO Deprive Labor of
Any Recognized Rights Including Right to Strike

Washington, D. C.-President Tru-
man signed the Hobbs Bill, impos-
ing penalties on labor unions or Off
cials interfering with goods in inter-
state commerce, but only after as
surance by U. S. Attorney General
Tom Clark that the legislation could
not be construed as interfering with
labor's basic rights as guaranteed by
other laws.
In formal message to Congress-,
the President declared he signed the
measure upon the assurance Of the At
torney General that it could not be
interpreted "to deprive labor of any
of it's recognized rights, including the
right to strike, picket and take other
peaceful, concerted action"
Thus, by this unusual step Of plac-
ing before Congress his and the At
torney Generals construction Of the
new law, he made his Interpretation
of the measure part of its legislative
record to guard against any misun-
derstanding of it's scope by any court.
Labor leaders who had urged veto
of the bill were inspired by grave
fear that it's wording might be con-
strued as outlawing strikes and pick
citing.
The President emphasized that he
was assured by the Attorney General
that nothing in the bill would repeal,
modify or affect" provisions Of pro-
tective pieces of labor legislation such
as the Railway Labor Act, the Nor
ris-La Guardia Act, the Wagner Act
and some sections of the Clayton Act.
These measures were described by
the President as "the great legisla-
tive safeguards which the Congress
has established for the protection of
labor in the exercise of it's fundamen-
tai rights"
Mr.. Truman made it clear that

Thousands T. B. Cases
Not Reported

Provisional figures on the number
Of cases of tuberculosis existing in
the state of Ohio show that there are
between 10000 and $4,000 unreport-
ed cases of the disease. According to
a report from DR.. Mark w. Garry,
Chief of the Division of tuberculosis
Of the Ohio Department of Health,
only 5,787 Of these have been re-
ported to local health departments
while the rest constitute public
health menace.
DR.. Garry revealed that the United
States Public Health Service mass
X-ray surveys have shown 1870 of
the population have some tuberculoos
infection. The group examined in
cluded about 100000 industrial
workers mostly over 20 years of age.
Simple multiplication Of Ohio's 4,5O0,-
900 voters by the 1870 indicates that
there are 33,750 cases of unreported
tuberculosis in Ohio, DR.. Garry says.
Recent reports issued by the Ohio
tuberculosis and Health Association
show that only four other states have
reported more tuberculosis cases than
Ohio. These include California, Texas,
Illinois and New York. Pennsylvania
reports a thousand fewer cases than
Ohio and another neighbor, Indiana,
reports but 3,039, two thousand few
er cases of tuberculosis than Ohio has
reported.
This is particularly bad situation
according to John A. Louis, executive
secretary of the Joint Committee on
tuberculosis Control in Ohio, because
1--WE have but $500. beds in which to
hospitalize these active cases." "And
these" says Mr.. Louis, "are concen-
trated in the 20 largest counties. A
small county has very little chance
to find treatment, disqualification and
isolation for an active case Of tuber-
culosis."
