submitted by the provisional presi-
dent last year and tabled BY con-

caused much opposition. One pro
vision would have compelled each
employer who hired more than %
workers To enter into collective
contracts with them. Another would
have required employers 20 build
homes for workmen. while still an
other provided that a discharged
worker who lost his position with
