Columbus, Ohio. = Representatives
of organized labor this week con-
tinued their forced battle for enact
ment of legislation sponsored in be-
half of the workers of Ohio into the
final moments of the regular session
of the Ninety-Third General AS
sembly.
Adjournment until May 81 was
voted by both branches of the As
sembly last Friday, with the House
of Representative voting to then ad-
journ until June 10, when it's officers
would return to sign measures enacted
on the final legislative working day.
1t was believed, however, that the
legislators would be unable to COM
plete their intended work on Wednes-
day, forcing them into a final session
on Thursday.
Their final adjournment will mark
the end of % consecutive weeks of
legislative work, one of the longest
sessions of an Ohio General Assembly
in history.
Although the House and Senate
acted favorably on several measures
sponsored by labor last week, legisla-
tion of great Importance to affiliates
of the American Federation of Labor
and the Railroad Union Brotherhoods
was awaiting final consideration when
the Legislators returned Wednesday.
Included in the last was Senate Bill
63, amending the prevailing wage law
to provide that the wage rate in the
nearest county shall apply in counties
where none has been established by
contracts.
Passed by the Senate May 16 with
out dissenting vote, Senate Bill 60
was heard by the House labor COM
mittee May 25 and recommended fol
passage. 1t was still in the rules

'chases, and Senate Bill 323, establish
ing the states share of public en-
ployes' retirement pay on a pay-as-
you-go basis.
The Senate meanwhile approved
nine measures originating in the
House OF Representatives including
the $317,00O,000 appropriation for the
biennium, and a measure reorganiz-
ing the civil service commission and
extending the right of appeal to state
employees suspended or laid off.
The House refused to concur in SEN
ate amendments to the latter measure,
objecting to the Senate's addition of
another commissioner to the increase
to three as approved by the House. A
conference committee was appointed
to attempt to iron out the differences
between the two Assembly branches.
Other measures approved by the
Senate were House Bill 648, granting
firefghters one day off every 72 hours;
House Bill 285, permitting munich
palities to issue bonds for the main
tenance of band or orchestra; House
i Bill 23, increasing the pay and re-
ducing the hours of guards at the
Mansfield Reformatory and London
Prison Farm, and four bills regulating
commercial fishing in Lake Erie.
! Once defeated in the Senate, pro-
posal to exempt salaries above $4,000
from the unemployment compensation
tax was approved by the Senate in a
new bill authored by Senator Roy N.
Merryman, Jefferson County.
House Bill 628, introduced by Rep
resentative Robert Betz, Gallipolis,
increasing the pay of employees in
state welfare institutions $35 per
month and reducing their hours to 54
per week, was passed by the House
and sent to the Senate.
Reason for the Senate's failure to
adopt the House resolution setting
June 10 as the date of sine die ad-
journment was ascribed to the fact
that number of important appoint
ments are yet to be submitted by Gov
ernor Bricker to the Senate for con-
/ firmation.
Included are an appointee to the
Industrial Commission, to succeed
John w. Beall, employer represent
ative; three members of the Public
Institutional Building Authority; and
possibly one or two appointees to the
Civil Service Commission, depending
on the outcome of legislation before
the General Assembly.

Japan Letting British Find Peace Formula

UNDATED, June 20 {P)-Jap- an, confident "that the British must carry the burden of finding peace formula" strengthened her blockade of the British con- cession at Tientsin and let it be known that there would be no backing down" from the issue over the international settlement at Annoy.
 A statement made in Washing ton by Secretary of State Hull of United States concern over the broader aspects" of the Tient- sin crisis evoked no newspaper comment in Tokyo, although the Japanese consul general in Tient sin said that Britain was attempt ing to persuade the United States to snatch her chestnuts out of the far eastern fire.
 Official Tokyo circles seemed convinced that Washington will remain outside the controversy unless asked by both sides to mediate.
 Eugene Dooman, United States charge d'affairs at Tokyo. is au- thoritatively reported to have protested against the Japanese naval blockade at Kulangsu, in the international settlement of Annoy. It is believed also that he discussed the Tientsin situation with high Japanese military and diplomatic authorities, and laid reports of the China issue before Emperor Hirohito.

 Dispatches from Swatow said that 300 Japanese soldiers, their way cleared by air raids and a naval bombardment, reached the city during the morning and en- countering little resistance, con- tinued inland despite long prep aration of the Chinese who fail ed to carry out their customary 'scorched earth" destruction of the city of l78,0O0. g miles east of Canton, anticipating another landing of Japanese, more than half the Chinese civilian popu- lation fled.
 Both Britain and Japan are waiting the other to make the first peace overtures in the 9th day of the Tientsin crisis.
 Premier CharNsosflain told the House of Commons that Britain didn't "acquisce" in the block ade and made it clear to Japan that Britain would take the nec- essary steps to assure an ade- quate food supply to her beleag- uered subjects.
