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.

Court Upholds
tobacco Fines
WASHINGTON, June 10 JP)
The supreme court today af
' firmed conviction of three ma
jor tobacco companies on charg
es of violating the Sherman
"anti-trust act.
1 The case Involved the R. 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."
