The idea has met with success in

approval of the circle-forming

Anti-Trust Law
Apply to Labor
Washington, March 21—
(AP)—Rep. Burleson (D-
Tex) urged yesterday that
fcongress apply anti-trust laws
to labor unions.
Speaking on the House floor, he
said John |L. Lewis has gained
the highest; hourly wage rate for
miners of all large organized un
ion groups, and set a goal for
other labor leaders.
“The pressure is on every un
ion head to make his demand, and
so goes the merry-go-round,” said
Burleson.
<“The union boss must maintain
his position as leader and he can
only do so by keeping up with
the gains of his competitor.
“But is it really competition?
This type of competition is not
strange, to the country 410W, but
the union which can tie up a com
plete segment or our economy
and -thereby finally • paralyze j
all business and industry re-|
lated thereto, must be pretty much
monolopistic.”
The way to prevent a recur
rence of a situation such’ a exist
ed during the coal strike is to en
act a bill placing labor Unions un
der anti-trust law regulations, he
said.
