Court Rules Const Frei y Ends Court Term
The court closed its docket ending its term and will reconvene October 6. Rulings included upholding the so called anti Petrila law as constitutional and directing new hearings to determine its application to James C. Petrilio head of the APL in a Chicago radio strike. New York blue ribbon juries were deemed legal while AFL leaders Pay and Beve were convicted of extorting payments from builders. California rulings allowed prosecutors and judges to comment on a defendant’s failure to testify as consistent with due process. Two Jehovah’s Witnesses were denied standing to challenge draft classifications. the remedy was to appeal the conviction rather than habeas corpus relief after the appeal time passed.

Senate Kills Veto And Taft Hartley Act Moves Forward
The Senate rejected the veto on the Taft Hartley Act as the House planned overtime actions. President Truman must appoint two more National Labor Relations Board members and name a new general counsel, with Senate confirmation. The bill bans the closed shop and imposes limits on unions while expanding government powers to curb labor disputes, including a 50 day injunction period during major strikes. A coal mine strike could test the act as government moves to restore seized mines by June 30 and negotiations continue. City fire crews fought a laundry dryer blaze and nearby trash fires were extinguished.
