The House votes to consider the Hobbs bill that would criminalize obstructing commerce by extortion or robbery.

In the present 79th Congress an amendment to the 1934 anti racketeering act is introduced. The measure grows from a Supreme Court decision. A New York AMT union was convicted under the law for compelling truck drivers entering New York to deliver goods.
A particle fragment describes a union dispute over a driver’s day’s pay before out-of-town pickups. The plan notes drivers would continue on into the next leg of delivery, with payments to union funds or assessments tied to that day’s route.
In New York the federal court of appeals reversed his conviction. Later the Supreme Court affirmed the appeals court ruling, declaring the higher court correct regarding the case.
The court ruled the anti racketeering law did not apply to the defendants. The Hobbs bill would widen the antivracketeering law's reach, potentially extending legal scope in future cases.
