ANTI-STRIKE LAWS MAY BE POSTPONED
Three Factions Seek to Secure Support for Own
 Pet Measure

Washington, Dec. 6- CUP0 = Senate consideration of anti-strike legislation developed today into a three-way race to bring out bills of varying degrees of severity and there was a hint that action might be postponed altogether until January
 Leaders of the three major fac- tions jockeyed for position and there was no indication of whether the administration would take a stand The bills awaiting senate action were:
 1. A house-approved bill by Rep- resentative Howard Smith, D., Va. which was generally believed to be the most drastic before the senate It would forbid jurisdictional and organizational strikes: require a SC to g 0day "cooling-off" period before a strike vote could become effective; require strike votes to be by govern ment supervised secret ballot; re- quire unions to register annual financial and membership state- ments and forbid union representa- ton by 'subversive" or criminal in dividuals. The act would be enforced by revoking the protection of thu National Labor Relations Act anc the Norris-LaG Guardia anti-injunc, ton act from recalcitrant unions.
 2. A Bill by Senator Joseph H Ball, R., Minn., to require q media. ton period before strike votl could become effective. This meas ure would indirectly prevent closeI shop agreements by penalizing elm ployers who sign contracts contain ing such a provision for the dura ton of the emergency. It has thl approval of the senate labor com mittee and moderate and pro-labo lsenators.

BY JOHN A. RE1CIEMANN United Press staR Correspondent


 Washlngton, Dec. 6-tUP)-The United States today studied possi. blc steps to take against Finland, Rumania and Hungary as the rec suit of Great Britain's decision to declare war on the three enemies of her ally, Soviet Russia.
 Britain'S classification of the three Axis-dominated countries as ner own enemies came as no surprise 10 either American officials or diplo. mats of those nations, The United States, 1t was understood, now will re-exafnine carefully her relations with these powers, although there was no immediate indication of what course of action would follow
 At the same time, some definite word was awaited on the full impli- cation of the recent conference be- teen Marshal Henri Philippe Petain of FFnace and Reicbmarshal Her. man Wilhelm doering on the future of FraF1co-0 German collaboration,
 Diplomatic quarters were inclined to discolint reports that definite de- mands had been made on Petair and leaned to Q belief that Germany was adopting . persuasive, rather than beliigerent, tone with the Vichy government. They pointed out that . year and . half of efforts to bring pressure on Vtchy for closer cooper ation had failed to obtain any con- crete results.
 Tn discussing Britain's action, some officials believed it still was possible that Finland might cease active hostiilties against the Soviet when Germany permits her to do SO.
 They noted that Rumania report ediy has less than two divisions in the Crimea ct this time in compar. iSon to stronger military forces in the past. Hungary, with no common frontier with the Soviet, never has been Q substantial factor in the hoS- tllltieS.
 The United States has maintained Q firm attitude against Finland ever since her troops went beyond the old Finnish Russian border of days preceding the Soviet attack in i939.
 The government slast August hinted it's objection to the Finnish offensive when Helsinki was noti- fled that the Soviet Union was will- ing to negotiate peace. A few days later, Secretary of State Cordell Hull renewed the offer but Finland failed to answer despite several statements by Hull expressing the

 Precautions Taken
 Istanbul reported that RumaniA had lined the railroads ln tho Oi' field area with barrage balloons and had greatly increased it's anti-air- craft measures in the entire region.

The Germans were trying vainly to make a stand along the Mus river west of Taganrog while main forces, still retreating precipltately, were staggering under the slashing of Don, Kuban and Tersk Cossack cavalrymen, racing tanks and bombing and fighting airplanes, 1t was said.

 Russian troops counter-attacked in great force, dispatches said, in still another sector.
 Naxis Make Gains
 It was indicated that in the Volokolansk sector west of Mos- COW the Germans continued to make slight gains but at great cost ir men and materials.
 Along the main Leningrad high way in this sector the Russians ir a night attack dislodged the Ger mans from the outskirts of a vii. lage and fighting was still in pro- gress, with the Germans defending themselves from house to house while they awaited reserves.
 Fierce fighting was reported ir the Mozhaisk- Maloyaroslavets ares southwest Of Moscow. Tn tht Mozhaisk direction Russian artil' lery men and machine gunners beat off an attack by two German infan- try divisions on a narrow front radio Moscow said, and Russian tanks and infantry, in a swif counter attack, inflicted sever' losses.

 In only one month in the last i2 have losses been lees than 300.0oo tons, the admiralty disclosed. The low month was that of May 1o40 when GA ships totaling 248,e50 tons were lost.
 Losses for April were 106 British Allied and neutral EhipS totalirg 4ee, ,l24 tons, of which l87 054 were lost in the Mediterranean during the period when the British LxpGdi- ticnary Force was evacuatinS Greece.
 The worst month was June 1040 the month Of the Dunkirk evacua- ton, when i28 chips totallng 533,- 002 tons were lost. Second ranked March of this year with il0 ships tctaling 4so,229 tons. This meant an irlcrease of more than 100000 tons from the figures previously given for the four weeks ended March 90.
 Tn three more months losses av- eraged more than 100000 tons September ie40 with 02 ships of 436 ,633 tons, October with e6 ships of 423,6l6 tons and July le40 with 106 ships totaling 406, ,s53 tons.
