Charges in
Wallace Given
Rebuke, Ruling
By High Court
Same Principle Declared
Applied as in Other
Stockyards Case'
NLRB Is Upheld in Plea
to Withdraw Case of
Republic Steel
WASHINGTON, May Sl.-K
Six Justices of the supreme court,
with Chief Justice Hughes f.s
their spokesman, rebuked Secnv
tary Wallace in sharp language
today for contending the court
'had been inconsistent In a recent
decision.
Hughes called the contentions
of the secretary of agriculture
"unwarranted' His remarks were
not addressed directly to Wallace,
but were In the form of a cate
gorical reply to Solicitor Gen.
Robert H. Jackson, who had rep
resented Wallace before the
court. 1
At Issue was a recent decision
of the supreme court invalidating
a department of agriculture; order
reducing commission fees at -the
Kansas City stockyards. The
court,' in an April decision also
written by Hughes, held that
Wallace Issued the order on tha
basis of findings by government
prosecutors without - giving the
livestocks agents reasonable op-,
portunity to contest the finding.
Wallace used an unprece-,
dented method of replying. He
wrote a leter to Hughes in which
be said, in effect, that the chief
justice had reversed himself on
a point of procedure approved by
the court when the stockyards
case. was before It on another oc
casion. Jackson stressed this in
appealing to the court for a re
hearing of the case.
Same Rule Decisive,
Hughes Kmphasizes
Hughes emphatically denied
there had been a reversal.
"Not only are the two decisions
consistent,", he declared, "but the
rule announced in our former
opinion was applied and was .de
cisive of the present appeal. And
the government is in no position
to claim surprise." . -
Hughes was supported in his
position by Justices Brandels,
Stone, McReynolds. Butler and
Roberts. Justice Black, one of
President Roosevelt's appointees

Federal Count
Million Gouged Annually

Business, Charge
Officers and Teamsters'
Union Memhers Face
Courts, New York
NEW YORK, May Zl-(JP)-Com-plaints
from seven eastern states
that union truckmen here were
using gangster methods to gouge
millions out of the rich merchandise-hauling
industry resulted to
day in the indictment of 76 men
on federal charges of racketeer
ing. Two Indictments returned by a
special federal grand jury named
eight officers and delegates and
62 members of local No. 807 of
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen
& Helpers of America and six oth
er individuals.
Each of the defendants, if con
victed, faces a possible sentence
of 41 years imprisonment and
fines totaling $50,000 each. They
were charged with violating the
federal anti-racketeering act of
1934, enforced for the first time
in New York state, and the Sher
man anti-trust act.
' The Indictments alleged the de
fendants, using force and threats
of violence, extorted $1,000,000
or more annually from the $100,
000, 000-a year busiiness in the
trucking of general merchandise
and perishable foodstuffs.
Flying squadrons of union men,
the grand jury charged, met the
trucks of out-of-town shippers
and truckers at the city limits and
compelled them to pay $9.42
apiece for a local 807 driver,
whether or not the driver was
used or needed.
In addition, the indictments al
leged, "shakedowns" of from $1,
000 to S100. 000 were demanded
from shippers and truck-owners
for the privilege of being allowed
to operate without Interference.
The complaints came from ship
ping and trucking companies in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
North Carolina and Virginia.

pigeon-holed a government reor

Chairman Byrnes (D-SC) and
Acting Chairman Warren (D

"No etforf will be made to

quashing talk of reviving the bill,
definitely ended one of the bit

On that date the house by a
vote of 204 to 196, sent the re
organization bill back to a spe

was believed to be the end of the
measure, but more recently there
had been reports the controversy
would be reopened.

" Says too Little
WASHINGTON, May 31.-(n-With
a shout of angry determina
tion, administration forces in the
senate increased funds for ths
national emergency council to
day despite protests by democratic
critics that the agency was actual
ly a political organization.
Senator Wheeler (D-Mojit.l
told the senate that the NEC,
set up by the president to co
ordinate work of all federal emer
gency agencies in the states, had
participated chiefly in politics "in
my state."
Senator Clark (D-Mo.) added
that the agenry's only purpose
was, "political."
Majority Leader Barkley ( D
Ky.) and half a dozen other ad
ministration men sharply denied
this." By a resounding voice vote,
they and their supporters awarded
the agency $850,000, an increase
of $600,000 over the sura voti
by the house.
Wheeler centered senate atten
tion on the Iowa democratic pri
mary onco more by. charging that
an NEC official, 1. T. Jones, was
trying "to stab Guy Gillette in
the back."
I'arty is Damaged :
Declared Wheeler
The Montanan said Jones, along
with Harry Hopkins and other
White House advisors, was sup
porting Representative Wearl
(D-Ia.), primary opponent of
Senaior Gillette, the democratic
incumbent.
Wheeler said a "certain littli
group" was doing "the president
a disservice, and the democratic
party a disservice" by trying to
Influence state political affairs.
"It ought to be stopped or the
democratic party Is going to ht
defeated," the Montanan warned
his colleagues.
He said that if "some of theno
pseudo politicians have their way"
in Iowa and Gillette is defeated by
Wearin "you can bet all the ta
in China that Iowa will go re
publican." President Roosevelt, at his
press conference, declined to com
ment on Hopkins' apparent back
ing of Wearin in the Iowa race,
saying any answer would be mis
interpreted. He added that in the
future he would refuse to answer
similar questions either from
candidates or the press.
