WASHINGTON, D.C.—In one of the most important legal
decisions in a decade, the Supreme Court of the United States
ruled that labor unions are immune from prosecution rmder
the AhtiTrust Laws so long as they* do not combine with

Demand Higher Pay
From Navy Board for
Shipyard Workers
WASHINGTON, D. C. —
Delegates from the Metal
Trades Couriclls in Govern
ment Navy Yards, at a con
ference held in the A.F. of
L. building here, formulated
a program for higher waSes
for the consideration of Sec
tary of the Navy Frank
Knox and his associates.
The metal trades workers
are dissatisfied with the fail
ure of the Naval Wage
Board of Review last year to
grant pay increases to
skilled mechanics In the
navy yards. The unions
claim navy yard rates are
now lower than in private
industry and should be
raised ' if the Government
wishes to obtain the crafts

The Supreme Court decision
was returned in the case of an in
dictment against President Will
iam L. Hutclieson and other offi
cers of the United Biotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, growing
out of a jurisdictional dispute at
the St, Louis plant of the Anheu
serBusch brewery firm. The high
court threw out tlie indictment,
just as the lower courts had
done.
But, in its 5 to 2 decision, the
Supreme Court went much fur
ther than passing on this specific
case. It laid down a broad and
liberal interpretation of the Anti
Trust Laws as applied to labor
unions, which excludes the possi
bility of the government using
the.se laws—originally adopted as
a "big stick" policy against the
business monopolies — in imped

Retreating, after a storm of protest from the maritime
and other labor unions, from bis original intention to place
before Congress a Bill to make the enrollment of merchant
seamen in the Naval Reserve compulsory, Representative
Everett M. Dirksen introduced another measure in the House
of Representatives this week, the chief aim of which is to
outlaw Union hiring halls. The new Dirksen Bill is to be
known as H.R. 2662, and aside from banishing Union halls,
provides for a series of other equally vicious regulations
faffecting union seamen.
