House Complains
OF Criticisms

WASHINGTON, March 18.
(UP) = Speaker Sam Ray
burn warned today that the
American people are permit
ting their war effort to be
sapped by a growing tide of criti-
| ciSm against management labor and
! government.
Rayburn called neWsmen into his
office and announcement that he
had a statement for the record.
He observed that on March II
there were between 100000 and
100000 men in the United States
at work in war industries and fewer
than 100 on strike.
Rayburn was asked whether he
intended his statement to be in
terpreted directly as in opposition
to the drastic Smith war labor bill
now before two house committees.
He declined to have his statement
expanded.
The speaker said congress was
being swamped by letters and tele-
grams from every section of the
country, mot from Republicans or
Democrats" but from the people.
Indignation meetings have been
held and are being scheduled
throughout the nation, he said,
which usually are resulting in mass
criticisms of the efforts of manage
ment, labor and government in the
war crisis.
Meanwhile the house military and
naval affairs committees planned to
act on restrictive labor legislation
despite President Roosevelt's warn
ing that it is not needed
The chairman of both house COM
mittees disclosed that they have
arranged to hold informal joint
hearings tomorrow on bill pro-
posed by Rep. Howard w. Smith,
D., Va.
Chairman Carl Vinson D., Ga,
of the naval affairs committee has
invited War Production Chief Don
aid Nelson. Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins, War Labor Board
Chairman William H. Davis, AMI
representatives. of the American
Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations to
testify.
Chairman Andrew j. May, D.,
KY, of the military affairs COM
mittee said he and Vinson had
agreed to consider only the bill be-
fore Wilson's committee and to
broaden it on the house floor to
apply to all war production.
Smiths bill would suspend for
the duration of the war all hour
provisions of labor contracts, out
law the closed shop, payment 70"
overtime and the 40-hour week, and
limit profits to six per cent of the
cost of a contract.
