iIn Teamsters' Union gMonopon Case Action Follows Decision Limiting Responsibility Of Labor Groups By J. A. FOX. : In the wake of a Supreme Court decision yesterday holding that :labor unions are subject to the ‘Sherman Anti-Trust Act only when Jhey are responsible for “some form w©f commercial competition in the Jmarketing of goods and services,” tthe Justice Department today an- qiounced the Government was Mropping plans to appeal from the District Court ruling which freed four teamsters’ union officials from monopoly law charges here early this month. The department assigned no rea- son for the decision which was said to have been reached several days #go. It was believed in some quar- ters, however, that the principle laid down by the Supreme Court would have made prosecution difficult .in & case such as this, where the Gov- emment alleged that a jurisdic- tional strike involving two American Federation of Labor unions had re- strained trade. « As one phase of the Nation-wide drive against abuses in the building industry, which are being prosecuted under the Sherman Act, the Gov- ernment charged that the Team- sters’ Unipn had brought about a strike which caused a tie-up in con- truction here last fall in an effort replace members of the Oper- Bting Engineers’ Union with their Wn members on concrete-mixer cks. The defendants denied that # jurisdictional dispute caused the strike, contending that it was called in an effort to increase wages. t Verdict Is Directed. ' After arguments were concluded Justice Letts granted a defense mo- tion for a directed verdict, saying the action of the defendants was *just as consistent with innocence s with guilt.” . The four defendants were Stuart M. Keyser, Charles J. Bell, Linwood A. Trainham and Aubrey W. Stream. ‘The Government has appealed to the Supreme Court in a similar ¢case from St. Louis where the Dis- trict Court quashed the indictment of a group of union officials. There, 1t was pointed out today, however, the element of boycott is present ?slsong with the jurisdictional strike ue. With the Supreme Court decision under study today at the Justice Department, the opinion was voiced by Thurman Arnold, Assistant At- torney General in charge of the Anti-Trust Division, that it would | Teach the building industry re- straints which the Government seeks to curb, through indictments in a number of large cities where unions and employer groups are accused ©f combining to raise prices. The status of labor under the Anti-Trust Act was defined by the court in holding that the Apex Hosiery Co. of Philadelphia could not collect damages under - the Sherman Act from a C. I. O. local which staged a sit-down strike in Wwhich the Apex plan: was wrecked by rioters, and its normai operations ‘hatted for six months in 1937. Slaps at “Sit-Down.” ‘The 6-3 decision of the court was read by Justice Stone, who said that the sit-down constituted a “lawless invasion and destruction of property by force and violence of the most brutal and wanton character,” but that it did not fall within the scope of the act. The American Federation of Labor, whose building trades unions are targets of the Government drive, has been contending thar the Clayton Act exempts labor from prosecution under the Sherman Act, which pro- hibits restraints of trade, but the court brushed aside this contention. “While we must regard the ques- tion whether labor unions are to some extent and in some circum- stances subject to the act as settled in the affirmative, it is equally plain that this court has never thought the act to apply to all labor union activities affecting interstate com- merce,” the decision said. In a sharp dissent, Chief Justice Hughes, who was joined by Justices McReynolds and Roberts, declared the majority interpretation of the act was “too narrow” and that it opened “vistas of new uncertainties” in the application of the law. Restraint on Competition Needed. “This court,” sald Justice Stone, “has never applied the Sherman Act in any case whether or not involv- ing labor organizations or activities unless the court was of the opinion that there was some form of re- straint upon commercial compe- tition in the marketing of goods and services; * * * this court has re- fused to apply the Sherman Act in cases like the present, in which vented interstate shipment of sub- stantial amounts of the product, but in which it was not shown that the restrictions on shipments had op- erated to restrain commercial com- petiticn in some substantial way. “In the cases considered by this court since the Standard Oil case of 1911, some form of restraint of commercial competition has been sine qua non to the condemnation of contracts, combinations or con- spiracies under the Sherman Act, end, in general, restraints upon competition have been tondemned only when their purpose or effect ‘was to raise or fix the market price. This is not a case of a labor or- ganization being used by combina- tions of those engaged in an in- dustry as the means or instrument for suppressing competition or fix- ing prices. Here it is plain that the combination or conspiracy did not have as its restraint ‘upon competition in the market for petitioner’s (Apex) product.” Clayton Act Cited. “A oon;%lrx;::nn of emt;;l;:es neces- sagly re: s competition among ves in the sale of thelr to an employer,” the court cogtinued, “yet such a combination was not considered an illegal re- straint of trade when the Sherman Act was adopted”—in 1890. In the light then l:!l\:hl later - Act.” ~Chief Justice Haghes’ dissent took ’I . An automobile racket victimizing out-of-town visitors brought a sentence of $50 or 30 days in jail to Donald T. Hendricks, 26, a self- styled mechanic, who yesterday pleaded guilty in Police Court to a charge of tampering. ¢ Arrested Friday by Park Police- man C. A. Mellott, Hendricks, who told police he was a resident of Richmond Hill, Long Island, was ac- cused of tampering with automobiles parked near the Washington Monu- ment, Lincoln Memorial and on the Ellipse, causing the machines to “stall” within 100 feet when driven off by their owners. The defendant, Mr. Mellott testi- fled, chose cars bearing license plates of States, indicating the own- ers were strangers in the city. A colored laborer working on the Ellipse saw the youth approach an Ohio car, lift the hood and work a few minutes on the motor. He opinion that precedent was being followed in the present case. “The view is announced,” he said, “that the Sherman Act was not di- rected at those restraints which fall short of any form of market control or a commodity such as to mono- polize the supply, control its price or discriminate between its would-be purchasers. That is, in short, that it does not apply to the direct and intentional obstruction or prevention of the shipment or transportation of goods to fill the orders of custo- mers in interstate commerce such as we have here. I dn not read our decisions as either requiring or justi- fying such a judicial limitation of the provisions of the act. Rather, I believe that they point to a con- trary conclusion.” The dissenting opinion also com- pared the broad application that has been given to the National Labor Relations Act, in seeking to remch unfair labor practices that affect interstate commerce, with the find- ing here. “It would indeed be anomalous,” Chief Justice Hughes said, “if, while employers are bound by the Labor Act because therr unfair labor practices may lead to conduct which would prevent the shipment of their goods in interstate comnmerce, at the same time the direct and intentional obstruction or prevention of such shipments by the empuw.yes were not deemed to be a restraint of inter- state commerce under the broad terms of the Sherman Act.” The decision affirmed a ruling by the Federal Circuit Court of Ap- peals at Philadelphia, which re- versed a District Court verdict granting Apex a $711,932 judgment under the triple-penalty provisions of the Sherman Act. The appellate court said there had been no at- tempt by the union to restrain in- terstate commerce, and that Apex had its remedy in an “appropriate” tribunal. The company announced today that it would seek $1,000,000 damages in the Pennsylvania courts. The trouble at the plant was stirred when the Full-Fashioned Ho- siery Workers sought a closed-shop contract at the time it was said to have had but eight members in the 2,500 employes of the plant.

When the owner drove off in the g:}-, it went only ;) short distance ore sputtering to a stop. Hen- dricks then appeared, offering his “services” as & passer-by and me- chanic, it was testified. He “re- paired” a fuel pump and charged the victim $495. The owner, police said, was only one of more than a half-dozen tourists who had been cheated by the ruse. Two Ohio residents—Herman P. Rosetti of Vermillion and Gerald Hasenpflug of Amherst—also turned in similar reports to police. Hendricks traveled in a car bear- ing Florida license plates. In it police found four old fuel pumps and a large assortment of tools. Admitting his guilt, the defend- ant said he did it because he needed money to send to his family in Florids. He said he was en route from New York to Florida, where he was employed last winter. Liner Roosevelt Safe From German Atfack, Berlin Assures U. . Warns Embassy That Foes Plan to Molest Refugee Vessel By the Associated Press. BERLIN, May 28.—The German government informed the United States Embassy today that the strictest orders had been issued to German naval units not to molest the United States liner President Roosevelt on its journey to Ireland to evacuate Americans. Germany, however, warned the embassy that it had information that Germany’s enemies, in an ef- fort to disturb American-German relations, planned an attack on the Roosevelt. Orders Issued to Navy. The German government, in & ;l:lx:municufion to the embassy, “Ships which travel in the man- ner indicated by the American Gov- ernment (that is, unarmed and without escort) are, according to the fundamental principles of German conduct of war, in no danger from German arms. But in considera- tion of the fact that this American ship will travel through the war zone which American ships usually avoid, the German government has notified its forces of the voyage and has issued strict orders that the ship be permitted to make the jour- ney without hindrance. “It may be observed in addition that there are no German sea forces along the route of the journey from and to America. Any possibility of danger to the vessel from the Ger- man side is, therefore, excluded.” Fifth Column Actlvity Denied. measures to forestall such criminal designs* German authorities sought to quiet American fears concerning the possibility of fifth column opera- tions in the Western Hemisphere. They charged that stories of al- leged “Nazi sabotage acts” in the region: of the Panama Canal and of Nazi demonstrations in Mexico were “inventions of the British se- cret service to arouse fear and to stimulate the war psychosis in the United States.” Committee Calls Off Hatch Act Meeting Plans to take up the Hatch Act in the House Judiciary Committee to- | Mate. day went awry when a committee meeting was called off because the House’ went into session at 11 am.

No. 22 Wire-Tapping Probe Told by Girls of Detectives’ Offer Women Say They Spurned $200 Jobs in Office Of Democrats’ Foe By the Associated Press. Two young Pennsylvania women, former college students, testified today they had been offered $200 a month to work for a private detec- tive who “wanted to run the Demo- crats out of Pennsylvania and then out of the country.” Miss Virginia Campbell of Phila- delphia, a graduate of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, told a Senate committee investigating wire tap- ping that Basil Needham, an agent for a New York detective agency operated- by Frank B. Bielaski, sald he would “arrange for me to meet prominent Democrats in Phil- adelphia.” Both Miss Campbell, a 21-year-old blond, and red-haired Virginia Stintz, Uniontown, Pa., said they had refused positions as reception- ists in Mr. Needham's Philadelphia office which originally were tendered to them. Linked to Magazine Article. Both told the committee Mr. Needham had informed them he had “either written or aided in pre- paring a magazine article on the insurance business” of James Roose- velt, son of the President. Miss CGampbell remarked that Mr. Need- ham had said “and it was very effective.” The young women both testified that Mr. Needham contacted them through the Rev. William B. Stimson of Philadelphia. Mr. Stimson explained to the com- mittee that a cousin, Henry Bowen Stimson, New York, had called him to say Mr. Needham would contact him to try to find a girl to be receptionist. Later, Gov. Willlam H. Vanderbilt of Rhode Island said a “train of circumstances” caused him to “won- der a little bit” about his attorney general in respect to prosecution of 1938 election frauds and “municipal corruption.” Questioned About Jackvony. He made this assertion in response to questions by members of the Sen- ate committee as to whether the Governor had “any reason to doubt the integrity of the attorney gen- eral, Louis V. Jackvony.” Mr. Jackvony's wires were tapped during the course of an investigation by a private detective agency em- ployed by Gov. Vanderbilt. After testifying that he had con- ferred with Matthew W. Goring, former assistant attorney general who was dismissed by Mr. Jackvony, about employing outside investi- gators, Gov. Vanderbilt said he had held that conference because Mr. Jackvony had rejected a proposal for obtaining outside aid. Mr. Goring, the Governor de- clared, had “complained very bit- terly about delay in prosecuting the election fraud cases.” Racing Results Belmont By the Assoctated Press.

Into the District Red Cross head- quarters yesterday came a quarter and a $10 bill. The first was from 11-year-old Jennie Ammann of 2032 Belmont road N.W. The bill was from the elderly woman, who didn't give her name, but told officials at Red Cross headqparters it was “for myself and my husband.” She also volunteered the state- ment: “The Red Cross always does the right thing.” Inspired by a similar sentiment, Washingtonians so far have con- tributed $39,573.87 toward the Dis- trict Red Cross’ $150,000 goal. Treasury Employes Lead. Treasury Department employes led yesterday’s contributions with & gift of $653.15. The Tariff Com- mission was second with $96. The total from booths scattered through the city’s banks and stores was $767.12, giving Red Cross offi- cials reason to believe that Wash- ington’s givers wil not omly reach the boal, but exceed it. To emphasize the desperate need, the Red Cross made public a cable from France, adding that “every cable from our representatives in France paints a blacker and more appalling picture of condi- tions among the millions of refugees fleeing from the battle zones.” Refugees Swamp Paris. The cable follows: “ Paris is swamped with terror- stricken, hungry, exhausted men, women and children. Roads from the north are cluttered with carts, bicycles, bullet-scarred automobiles. Under the shadow of the Palace of Versallles, voluntary first-aid work- ers are bathing feet of old men, women—some who walked 40, 50, 60 miles in past three days. Stockings had to be cut from lacerated, swollen, blistered feet. Many were too tired to eat. Women faint at sight of food—too starved to eat. There are pens of unidentified, frightened children under 8 years of age at every refugee concentration point. French peasants, aristocrats work side by side in best democratic fashion.” A picture of the need abroad will be presented to the Soroptomist Club at its luncheon meeting in the Wil lard Hotel tomorrow by Mrs. Lewis Clark, a member of the Nurses’ Aide Corps of the District Red Cross.
