Senator Overman Gives
Assurance that N.C. Towns Will Not Be Disturbed
Washington—The senate judiciary committee has agreed upon an
anti-trust bill. The Clayton bill has been practically rewritten. North
Carolina manufacturers and others who employ labor will be interested to know
that the labor unions and farmers’ organizations have been “legalized,” but the
provision which seemed to permit the “secondary boycott” and the picketing of
private premises by strikers have been stricken from the measure.
Senator Overman has received many letters protesting that
prohibiting interlocking directorates would cripple towns like Charlotte,
Gastonia, Concord, Salisbury and the like. Senator Overman does not think this
will interfere in any way with any legitimate business in North Carolina. “I
want to assure the men who engage in manufacturing, banking or other legitimate
enterprises that the inhabition against interlocking directorates will not
disturb them at all,” said Mr. Overman.
