Hoffman Report Backs
Law Against Violence
In Interstate Strikes
BY the Associated Press

Representative Hoffman of Rich
mond yesterday urged that Con-
gress give serious consideration" to
writing a Federal law against vio-
lence in labor disputes affecting in
terstate commerce.
His proposal was made in a re-
port on his investigation of the CLIO
raid on the struck plants of the
Shakespeare companies at Kalama-
zoo, Mich, last December l.
Municipalities and States should
handles their own problems of law
enforcement whenever possible"
Mr.. Hoffman said.
But he added that because of
the failure or inability of local Of
ficers to give adequate protection"
he reluctantly" recommended that
Congress take up the problem.
Urges Redress for Victims.
Specifically, he said, Congress
should consider making coercion.
intimidation and acts of violence
which interfere with interstate
commerce Federal miSdemeanors or
felonies."
He also recommended that in
dividuals who suffer injuries or
damages in such strikes be given
the right of action in Federal courts.
In these cases, he added, the courts
should have jurisdiction over de-
PENDANTS residing anywhere in the
Nation.
And as final recommendation
Mr. Hoffman urged that individuals
everywhere join in an educational
campaign to put halt to- or
ganized lawlessness by pressure
groups"
Stresses Lenient Attitude.
Mr.. Hoffman, who investigated
the invasion of the Shakespeare
plants as a one-man House Labor
subcommittee, said one OF his pur-
poses was to find out if the Taft
Hartley Act should be amended to
give Federal courts authority to
punish strike violence.
He said the disturbance at Kali
amazoo, where property was dam
aged, cars were overturned and
seven employees were injured by a
band of 200 to 300 men, fitted into
a pattern of union violence when
a back-to-work movement threatens
the success of strike.
Nonetheless, he continued, a ten
dency has developed to treat law
lessness connected with labor dis
putes more leniently than when it
occurs otherwise.
He said politicians, law enforce
ment officers and judges do not
serve either the cause of organized
labor or the public by coddlins,
excusing and appeasing those who
wilHully take the law into their
own hands"
Failed to Substantiate Charge.
Furthermore, Mr.. Hoffman said,
unless citizens in law-abiding COM
munities are protected from or
ganized violence. they will ultimate
ly react in mind"
The strike at Kalamazoo was
called by the CLIO steelworkers I'm
ion on September in a dispute
over contract changes. Wages were
not an issue.
Thomas Shane, State director of
the union, said the dawn raid on
December 1 was made by members
of locals from around the State.
He called 1t rally in support of
the strikers and accused the COM
pany of importing strike-breakers
In his report, Mr.. Hoffman said
testimony at the hearings failed To-
substantiate charges that strike
breakers had been brought in from
other States.
