U. S. Affocks Mortgage Monopoly
For Forcing High Rents. SIums

New York (FP)-A Justice De-
partment antitrust suit, filed Aug. 6,
accused 80 New York banks, insur-
ance firms and other mortgage lend
ers of conspiring to fix rents, block
new housing and restrict Negroes
and other minorities to slum areas.
The civil suit was filed after spe-
cial federal grand jury, which had
investigated mortgage practices in
New York for more than two months,
recommended such action just before
it was dismissed without voting q
criminal indictment under the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The breakdown on New York's
powerful mortgage monopoly came
despite weeks of pressure by Wall
Street interests to call off the case.
Main argument used by the worried
bankers was that public Indictment
would frighten investors into with
drawing their accounts and start a
bank run.
Question of whether a criminal or
civil suit should be made out report

Soys Hobbs Bill

Righfs Unchanged

Indianapolis (FP) = The recently
enacted Hobbs bill does not in any
way handcuff the legitimate activi-
ties of unions, AFL, Counsel Joseph
A. Padway wrote in the August issue
of the international Teamster.
Answering a request by President
Daniel ]. Tobin of the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters for an in
depreciation of the act, Padway point
ed out that the present bill must not
be confused with any previous anti
racketeering bills introduced by Rep
resentative Sam Hobbs d., Ala.).
The assurance of Attorney Gen.
eral Tom Clark that "the bill was not
intended and could not be construed
to deprive labor of any of its recog-
nized rights, including the right to
strike, picket and to take other legi-
innate and peaceful concerted action"
must also be taken into account, Pad
way said.
Sole purpose of the act, he de-
clared, "is to prohibit the crimes of
robbery and extortion in interstate
commerce" The definitions of rob-

Wheeling, w. Va.-Of interest to
his many friends and associates in
the pottery industry, the resignation
of Mr.. Edwin (Ted) Hale as plant
manager of the Warwick China Co.,
comes as a complete surprise. Mr..
Hale sewers his connection with the
Wheeling firm on Sept. 1st and will

Mr.. Hale came to Wheeling in 1928
from the Bailey Walker China in

tendent of the plant. While here, he
introduced the Multi-color under
glaze printing of which the Warwick

Union Requests
For Wage Boost
BY HENRY HOROWITZ

Chicago (FP) A demand for a
return to feudalism" is the reply of
the Big Four meat packers to the
United Packinghouse Workers re-
quest for wage increases, guaranteed
annual wage and health fund, Union
President Ralph Helstein told Fed
Grated Press.
The packers have proposed to do
away with union security, mainten-
ance of membership and dues check
off provisions which the union had
previously won, Helstein said. "In eff
feet, they want to revert to feudalism
in labor relations, where the en-
ployer does as he pleases with the
employees"
One company, Wilson & Co., also
wants to eliminate the eight-hour
day, he said, while all four propose
to remove the 30-day wage reopener
clause in union contracts. This, Hell
stein said, would absolutely freeze
wages and under present conditions
a wage freeze would result only in a
strike"
The management terms were incor-
porated in an exchange of contract
proposals to replace those expiring
throughout the industry August II.
Contracts held by the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters & Butcher Workmen
(AFL) also expire at the same time.
Their demands for new contract
closely parallel those of the CIO

F. w. Woolworth Co. signed a zero
hour agreement with Local 65, Whole
sale & Warehouse Workers Union,
covering 325 workers in it's New York

Management backed down in the
face of elaborate preparations by
Local 65 to make it's fight against
the Woolworth chain nationwide in
scope. New York warehousemen, set
to strike, had already begun to
picket the company's major retail
stores and at the time of settlement
some 20 special organizers were
about to leave New York to organize
picket lines at Woolworth stores in

Fine Turnout At
Local 4 Meeting
Monday Evening

Despite opening ceremonies for the
Victory Week celebration for re-
turned veterans of World War II be-
ing held on the same night, the oc-
casion did not mar the attendance at
the regular meeting of Local Union
No. Monday evening.
Perhaps the record turnout can be
attributed to the enthusiasm among
the members regarding the contem-
plated raise in dues. The proposed
plan was discussed from all angles
and practically every one in the hall
took the floor to voice their opinion.
Final action will be taken at our
next meeting when a vote will be
taken to adopt or reject the measure,
and we are looking forward to an
other banner turnout.
Shop committee reports revealed
few irregularities on the various
plants but nothing of a serious nature
that cannot be corrected if we carry
out the policies of the organization.
: Brother Bill Ashbaugh, a delegate
to the recent State Federation of
Labor convention in Cleveland made

adopted at the state meeting. In his

the pottery industry in Sebring, died
at his home, 245 West Ohio avenue,

OTHER STATES AFTER TOURIST DOLLARS
q. R. LARCOMBE

As II: LAROONho1 III tHHPOO ONJ -0I
Casually picking up the current issue of a socalled out
doors magazine the other day, the writer was impressed at
the vigor with which certain states are going after tourist dol
lars this season. This single publication is not a conspicuous
leader in the field of hunting and fishing, yet it contains the
advertising of the Dominion of Canada and three Of its prov
inces and eight states of our own union. All eXtolled the
virtues of the state involved and all extended with extreme
eagerness the right hand of fellowship to the 1916 crop Of
wanderusters.
No, Montana was not represented. South Dakota was in,
and so were Maine, Tennessee, Colorado, Missouri, New Hamp-
shire, Wisconsin and Minnesota. With recreational facilities
unsurpassed anywhere, the Treasure State elects to rock along
as she is and let the travellers discover us by accident, if at
all. Our pride was especially wounded when we noted attrac-
tive spreads by the Canadian federal government, the Cana
dian Pacific railroad and the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba
and Saskatchewan.
An appropriation for advertising our tourist wares outside
the state has been on the legislatures program for many ses-
sions over many years and nothing seems to come of it. Every
two years the bill is pressed by a small group which sees state
wide benefit in tourist trade promotion and each time the bill
boys down somewhere along the line. 1t may be time to till
this virgin soil a little. The war had a good deal to do with
shelving this proposal, of course, but it may be opportune to
take our place in the new world of ample tires, rahonless gas
and all the other perqustes of peace. Tourist dollars are a
valuable crop and Montana will always be able to use any crop
she can harvest.
