equipment. He said that the army's
big problem now was standardiza-

progress. he hinted.

Of Armor Protection

Contrary 10 rumor purveyors,

Little Chance of Anti Strike Legislation


Washington. Feb. 2s-INS-Two
major developments today appear
ed to doom likelihood OF Congress
enacting strong anti-strike or
other labor legislation in the near
future.
The overwhelming defeat in the
House Of the proposal to suspend
the 40 hour week law was a major
setback for those seeking to modi-
fly labor laws.
The second development was an
apparent agreement among a ma
jority of members of Senate Labor
Committee to suppress anti-strike
legislation in order to give the war
Labor Board a further opportunity
to work out its no-strike program.
Even administration leaders
were surprised by the House vote
of 926 to 81 against the proposal
OF Rep. Smith CD Va, to suspend
the 40 hour week and all other
federal laws dealing with work
ing hours for the duration of the
war.
Subject Of bitter debate for two
days. the movement collapsed
when the great majority OF Re
publicans, who had remained silent
during debate. swung against the
bill.
While some members OF the Sen
ate Labor Committee voiced doubt
that the War Labor Board can
frame national policy on the open
and closed shop issue and wages.
there was general agreement that
the board would be given a further
chance to demonstrate its effec-
tiveness.
Sen. Taft (R) Ohio. member Of
the committee. joined Sen. Thorn
as Cd Utah. chairman, in opposing
legislation, temporarily at least.
"Of course the board will have
10 either work out an agreement
between labor and capital on a
definite national policy or there
will be demands for legislation, "
said Sen. Taft.
Il don't think there will be any
legislation until the board is Civ

Labor Board
Drops Dispute

Washington, Feb. 2S--INS-A dis.
pute between General Motors and
the CIO-United Automobile Work
ers was back in the hands OF the
company and the union today, the
War Labor Board having declined
to make a final settlement at this
time.
The dispute concerns union de
mands for payment of overtime for
Sunday and holiday work when the
corporation swings into production
of war materials.
Although the existing contract
provides for such payments, the
company raised the issue of whether
the workers should be entitled to a
premium under 2i-hour. seven-day
operations in the production of war
materials.
Board Chairman William II
Davis said. however. that the com.
pany and union first should try to
settle the dispute under procedure
provided in the collective bargain
ing contract and. if that fails, invoke
Cancellation machinery before sum
hitting the matter to the NWLB.
Both parties. he said. agreed thai
the matter was covered by terms OF
the existing contract and also
agreed that any final determine ton
OF the issue shall be retroactive.
General Motors took the position
that the present contract with the
Clio specifically exempts overtime
premium for work on Sundays and
holidays in necessary continuous op.
erations.
