board is reported to have agreed
in favor of workers who are de-

In the event of such a deci-

than 500 of these companies.
Two issues affecting power
companies will be brought to a
vote-the st. Lawrence waterway

power of federal courts to enjoir
rate orders of state utilities COM

The industrial structure of the
aviation industry faces a change
as a result of the senate airmail
, investigation and house inquiries
into cost of planes to the army
and navy. The currently favored
solution for the airmail tangle is
to restrict bidding on mail con-
tracts TO companies not controlled
by holding companies and having
no directorial interlock with other
aviation companies.
That would force reorganlza-
ton of virtually every major conf
panv which hoped to obtain COLI
tracts. Similar restrictions may
be laid down for companies MAX

Conflict over the airmail con-
tracts broke out in the senate

charging that army pilots were
being sent to their deaths by the
administration policy.
Another situation which may
have an industrial effect is the
grand jury inquiry into army mo-
tor and clothing contracts. Harry

of war, testified for the third time
Yesterday. Ralph T. O'Neil, for
