A compromise war profits re-
Striction - providing for re-
negotiation of high-profit con-
tracts-was approved by the
Senate today.
BY a 40-to-21 vote it accepted
the compromise as a rider to the
SIG ,212,773, ,260 war appropriation
bill Action came after the Senate
voted, 81 to 10, to suspend rules
in order to consider the proposal.
The compromise eliminated both
the fiat per cent profit limit pre-
viously voted by the House and a
proved by the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
1t would allow renegotiation of
any contract in which unreasonable
profits or costs were suspected by
the Secretaries of War or Navy or
the head of the Maritime Commits
sion. 1t would apply to future con-
tracts and present ones on which
final payments had not been made.
Would Go to Conference.
Senator McKellar. Democrat, Of
Tennessee, floor leader for the meas
ure, told the Senate the action would
put the profits limitation matter in
the hands of a House con-
ference group for final drafting.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of Flo
rida also is seeking to have the Sen
ate suspend its rules TO consider an
amendment to freeze all prices and
wages and to prohibit the collection
of union fees on Government pro-
jects. but there were few indications
that he could muster sufficient sup
port for this proposal.
Similar Proposal.
A somewhat similar amendment
by Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming would provide for Fed
eral chartering of Interstate cor
porations. trade associations and
labor unions; limit union initiation
fees to $40, require unions to hold
annual elections and provide for
independent biennial accounting of
union funds.
These proposals attracted atten-
ton, for the authors generally have
gone along with the administration
on legislation. and it has been en-
phasiZed that the administration
opposes labor legislation at this
time.
