Wall St. BonkS
Hit AS Monopoly
w A SHIN TON (LPA)


Another big antitrust suit was
launched last week by the
Justice Department = this
time against II of the country S
biggest investment bankers. In
effect, the prosecution was aim
ed at the citadel of finance =
Wall Street.
The Department accused these
II banking corporations, to-
gether with the Investment
Bankers Assn. of America, of
conspiring to 'monopolize the
securities business in this coun-
try by restricting, controlling
and fixing the channels and
methods, the prices, terms and
conditions upon which security
issues have been merchandised.
Two members of President
Truman's cabinet are former of
fiicals of two of the companies
cited in the suit. The two are
Secretary of Commerce w. Av-
erall Hartman, who at one time
was chairman of the board of
Hartman, Ripley & Co., and
Secretary of National Defense
James Forrestal, who is a for
mer president of Dillon, Reed &
Company.
The bankers don't have to
worry about landing in Jail,
however, if found guilty. Clark's S
proceedings are civil, not Grim
inal, and seek only to compel
the companies to cease and
desist" from their violations.

Typos Cited For
tn Infroc+ions

CINCINNATI, Nov. 10 (LPA)
The all-out offensive of the
newspaper publishing industry
against the international Typo.
graphical Union-AFL gained new
momentum last week when the
Southern Newspaper Publishers
Association, filed unfair labor
practice charges against the ITU
and 112 of its locals.
Representing early every
daily paper in Is southern states,
the SNPA claimed that the union
and its locals had violated five
provisions of the Hartley
in good faith and maintaining an
law, including failure to bargain
illegal closed shop. The pub
fishers asked the NLRB to seek
an injunction against the typos.
The ITU, according to the pub
fishers attorneys, violated not
only the Taft-Hartley law but
also the anti.cloSed shop laws in
seven southern states. Because
the papers are so vulnerable
to strikes the publishers de.
manded the injunction to avoid
having "to operate under illegal
closed shop conditions and thus
expose themselves to civil and
in some cases criminal proceed
ings beyond their control"
Last month the American
Newspaper Publishers Associa.
ton asked the NLRB to take ac-
ton against the ITU, contending
taht its mo contract" policy vi
olated the Hartley law.

FEPC Law Now
Up TO The COP

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 -
(LPA) - The COP majority OF
Congress has no choice, if it is
to keep its election promises,
except to pass without delay the
Chavez bill for a perma-
nent FEPC. This is the conclu-
sion of co-chairmen A. Philip
Randolph and Allan knight
Chalmers, commenting last week
on the report of President Tru-
mans Committee on Civil
Rights.
"a committee of Americans
of both major political parties,
including practical business and
labor leaders as well as dis
tinguished religious, education
al, minority and civic spokes-
men," they stated, "has come
up after months of study and
public hearings with findings
and recommendations which
powerfully document and rein
force the case for fair employ
ment.
''Now, with the Republican
Party in control of both House
of Congress, and with enough
Democratic Senators from States
outside the south ready to vote
with the Republican majority
for cloture, the Report of the
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights puts the responsibility
squarely up to the Congress -
and to the controlling Republi-
can majority in both Houses"

California coast belong to the
U. S. and not to California, an
out-of-court settlement by Atty.
Gen. Tom c. Clark and Interior
Secretary julius A. Krug con-
ceded three big areas to Cali
fornia and to private wells
which the state leases out will
continue to operate. The deal,
which has been challenged as il
legal, robs the U. S. Treasury
of hundreds of millions of dol
lars which will go instead to the

Labor Charges
Are Verified

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-
.LPA) Existence of a
planned scarcity" program
by the steel industry which is
chiefly responsible for the
nations inability to meet domes-
tic needs and foreign aid de-
mands was verified this week by
the Federal Trade Commission.
Following on the heels of the
Hartman report on aid to
Europe, which pointed out that
the 62,000,000 tons of finished
steel scheduled for 1947 will be
insufficient to meet the present
needs of the steel consuming in
dustries" in the US. alone, the
FTC filed charges against the
American Iron & Steel Institute
and 101 producers of steel prod
ucts.
The companies were cited for
Conspiracy and collusive action
to fix and maintain. delivered
price quotations and to restrain
competition"
Seek Less Competition
Completely verifying labor
charges of a planned scarcity
program, the FTC charged that
the steel producers, through the
Institute, collectively furthered
their plans to restrain and lessen
competition thru discussions by
their representatives in group
meetings where they have reach
ed a meeting of their minds that
it would be to their self-interest
to so act as to forestall increases
in steel production facilities"
The concrete results of the
industry's limited production
plans were evidenced in many
manufacturing cities last week.
Despite the fact that the steel
industry has undertaken some
small expansion, the situation
has grown worse In producing
centers.

Rep. Hoffman
Threatens Funds

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 -
(LPA) - Congress- number one
labor-hater, Rep. Clare Hoffman
(R., Mich.), may have to answer
to his Congressional colleagues
for what government officials
describe as two outrageous per-
formances in recent weeks while
Hoffman presumably was acting
as a one-man investigating COM
mittee.
In one case, Hoffman succeed
ed in breaking up federal con-
ciliation efforts in a lnog-drawn-
out strike in Michigan City, Ind.
In the second, Hoffman threat
ened to block any further appro-
priation for the new Federal Me-
diation & Cancellation Service
because he was refused confiden-
tial information on a strike set
tlement.
At Michigan City, a strike
that began on Aug. z was con.
sidered so difficult and at the
same time so important that not
one but three federal conciliators
were assigned. Although repre-
sentatives of the company had
refused to meet with the union
from the beginning, the concilia'
tors achieved a major triumph
in finally bringing the two
groups together. At this point
Hoffman barged In.
Denounces and Condemns
His first contribution was to
denounce the conciliators public
ly and then for sgood measure
condemn the union. Immediately
the union representatives pulled
out of the meeting, declaring
they would not negotiate a con-
tract in a Congressional investi-
eating session and while a trans
cript was being made. Hoffman
departed but warned the con-
ciliators not to hold another
meeting without advising him
so that he could attend.
At Clinton, Mich, Hoffman's S
one.man inquisition was centered
on a strike already settled at the
Clinton Machine g. Tool Co. Ac-
cording to a transcript filed with
the House Labor Committee
Hoffman subpoenaed Cancellation
Commissioner Earle Greenlee
and demanded that Greenlee
tell us what the representatives
of either management or the un-
ion said at these negotiations.
Explain to Hoffman
Both Greenlee and an attorney
for the Mediation g. Cancellation
Service pointed out that tradi-
tionally such pre-settleemnt dis
cussions were kept confidential
and that if they were not neither
management nor the union, in
many instances, would permit a
conciliator to participate IN the
talks.
Then followed these questions
by Hoffman and the replies by
the FM&CS attorney:
"Q-I may ask you, the direc-
tor who issued this general or
der is a federal employe, is he
not? A.-That is right, sir.
Ole receives compensation
from appropriations made by
Congress? A-That is right.
