Connolly Seeks EorIy
Senote Action on
PIunt Seizures Bill

The drive to put through legis-
lation limiting war profits and sus-
pending the 40-hour work week for
the duration of the emergency was
stalled today as the House awaited
additional hearings before voting
on the issue
Representative Vinson, Democrat,
of Georgia, who with Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia, is
sponsoring the labor profits bill,
said yesterday that number OF
witnesses have asked to be heard
on the measure, and that it could
not be reported out therefore be-
fore April 13
Many of the members are going
home for the Easter holidays, and
the delay therefore will permit them
to sound out sentiment in their
districts.
Senate action may come earlier,
as Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas. told the Senate he proposed
at the first opportunity" to bring
up his bill which authorizes the
President to take over war plants
if work is held up by either labor
or management, and freeze" labor
relations, except for wages.
In the meanwhile, as the House
Naval Committee, headed by Mr..
Vinson, yesterday continued hear
ings on the labor-profits bill, COM

Both Chairman Vinson and Rep
resentative Mott, Republican. of Ore

ing that William P. Witherow. presi-
dent of the National Association Of
Manufacturers. would receive SAL
ary increase of 1888 this year as
president of the Blaw-Knox, Pitts
burgh steel fabricating plant.
y. u. LulTSeIl, executive secretary
of the Railway Labor Executives
Association. told the committee the
"deluge" of letters and kilograms
demanding amendment of the 40
hour law was "earmarked as con-
certed movement to blackmail labor
as whole by utilizing extreme ex-
ceptions. many of which even then
are based upon one-sided infor-
nation"
Merwin K Hart, president of the
New York State Economic Council
said that labor had become the Ma
tion's privileged class" and that
the plain people" of the country
wanted the closed shop abandoned
and overtime pay suspended.
