New Element Injected

The bitter struggle that has

other showdown today between

no nearer adjustment than on April

the anti-strike bill which has cleared
Congress and was due to reach

row. after it is signed by Speaker
RaYburn and Vice President Wal

terms for any person convicted of

bate it frankly was aimed at Mr..
Lewis.
Effectiveness in Doubt.
Granting that it is approved by
President Roosevelt-and his views
have not been made public-there
still was doubt in the minds Of many
as to just how efhcacious the meas

head of the mine workers. The
miners. MI. Lewis says. don't strike.
They simply go off the job when
they have no contract-and their
contract terminated April 30. Since
then. they have operated under tenn
porarv extensions, interspersed by
two stoppages.
Spokesmen for the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and the Congress
OF Industrial Organizations declared
they would appeal directly to the
President that he veto the meas
ure. The President has 10 days in
which to approve it, veto it, or it
becomes law without his signature.
