This Petrillo bill is a slap on the wrist for Mr. James Caesar Petrillo. head of the musicians' union, but it eliminates abuses in only one industry, featherbedIt ding" in the radio Industry. permits the same abuses to be practiced by Mr. Petrillo In other industries . . rot ably motion pictures and theaters, and it leaves other unions free to perform the same practices that Mr. Petrillo Is punished for In the radio industry. For instance, the law says that Mr. Petrillo cannot levy a royalty or a tax on phonograph records used for broadcasting, but the union can still levy this royalty on every record you play in your home. Mr. John L. Lewis is at this very moment seeking to levy a tonnage tax on every ton of coal, 10 cents a ton, to provide a huge fund fur his miners' union. But Mr. Lewis Is free " to do that since the law doesnt apply to the miners union.

They are necessary in our American way of life, since without them the American workers would be at the mercy of greedy employers. Were It not for labor unions, a man's toil would 1111 be a commodity to be bought and sold, to be used or disregarded at the whim of any capitalist. But the abuse of these benefits which have been granted to labor by certain labor bosses and in which these bosses even defy the government at the United States, should most definitely be curbed. Public opinion polls Indicate that the rank and file of the American people hold to this opinion and the folks who live in the small towns and the rural areas are particularly Incensed at practices and unlicensed effrontery of some of these leaders. The Case bill, approved here by some of the farm organizations, will die aborning in the senate and in the senate labor committee, a majority of this committee has had the temerity to propose a measure which would punish unions seeking to extort money from farmers by coercion or force to prevent farmers from transporting perishable farm products to market. This haa happened in Pennsylvania, iu New York, and In other sections wherein farmers' trucks have been overturned, or the farmer has been forced to pay tribute to unions to drive his truck of produce Into the markrt place. But what about the farmer who seeks to transport nonperishable products? Why not Include that In tlie bill fur it Is most certainly as wrong for anions to prohibit the hauling of logs to markrt as it Is to levy tribute for lettuce. And why not at the same time protect others besides i i FOR BIG FOUR , . .
