President To On Labor Bill WASHINGTON, June 10 JP) President Truman told his con gressional leaders today he .would send a messaRe to con Kress tomorrow on the Case la bor disputes bill, but apparently did not say whether he would veto or sign It. Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex.) told reporters after a 45-minute conference with the chief execu tive at the White House: 'Whether it will be a veto or message on approval we don't know." Reporters suggested that send ing a message to congress in connection with approval of the bill would be unusual. Rayburn replied that is some times done. Rayburn also disclosed that the administration leadership will try to get a rule in the house to send the president's own emergency strike control proposal to a conference of the two houses this week. Each passed it in different form. "It is Just a matter of await ing action on the Case bill." Rayburn said. Rayburn, who waited to talk with reporters, said the presi dent did not say what action he contemplated on the Case bill, and added, "He was not asked." Close associates of President Truman said they expect htm to send a message to congress Tuesday vetoing the Case bill. .

J. Reynolds Tobacco company, Liggett and Myers Tobacco company and the American To bacco company. They were fined a total of $255,000 in U.S. . district court in Lexington, Ky. .The sixth federal circuit court upheld the conviction. ' Justice Burton delivered the .6-0 decision. Justices Reed and Jackson did not participate. Burton said the companies have been found to have con spired to establish a monopoly and also to have the power and intent to establish and maintain the monopoly. To hold that . they do not come within the .prohibition of the Sherman act r would destroy the force of that act." .. The companies asked the su preme couit to review numer ous Questions, but it agreed to . consiuer only whether actual ex- : elusion of competitors is a neces sary element for monopoliza tion, under the terms of the Sherman act. The justice department con tended its case against the com panies showed mere was "in tent and power to produce a re sult which the law condemns exclusion of competitors." It ar - sued that "neither on authority nor on reason is the further ele ment of actual exclusion of com petitors necessary to this of fense" (of monopolization). Justice Rutledge wrote a brief .concurring opinion in which he said he agreed that "the of fense of monopolization is com plete when power is acquired to exclude competitors and therefore actual exclusion need not be shown."
