ANTI-STRIKE BILL
ACTION Is URGED
May 10 Coal Truce Dead
line Feared By House
Military Affairs Com.
By TONY SMITH

(Umteu frcSS StdH OOTTeSpOnueHtD
Washington, May 12-(UP)-The
House Military Affairs committee
formally reported the revised Con-
nally anti-strike bill to the house
today with a request that it be en-
acted without delay" because of the
May 10 coal truce deadline.
The measure would enable the
government to delay strikes in. all
war plants for 80 days; prohibit
John l.. Lewis from calling strike
in the coal fields while they are I'M
der government custody; and give
the War Labor board power to COM
pei Lewis appearance at its hear
ings.
This legislation is extremely ur-
gent and your committee believes
that it should be speedily enacted
into law because of what is COM
monty known as truce involving
more than 100000 workers in the
coal mines of the country" the re-
port said.
Without adequate production Of
coal the war effort would be greatly
retarded and it is entirely possible
that if the president is not permit
ted TO use his independent discretion
under authority of legislation en-
acted by the congress, he will be
greatly handicapped in the settling
of labor disputes and in the contin-
uance of full production of war
materials"
The committee late yesterday
voted 81 to 0 to incorporate pro-
visions covering strike threats in all
industries operating on war con-
tracts as we'll as those seized by the
government.
1t struck from the Senate measure
provisions giving the president speci-
fic authority to take over war plants
tied up by labor disputes on the as
sumption that he already has this
power as commander-in- chief of
the armed forces in a period of war.
dissatisfied with the combining
scope of the Senate measure, the
committee set up an elaborate pro-
ce6ure which labor unions must fol-

provided in bill by Rep. Howard
Smith. d.. Va. which passed the
House in the last session Of Con-
gress. and would:
/. Make it unlawful to strike until
the secretary of labor has certified
the result OF secret ballot taken
under the direction of the u. S.
Cancellation service.
2. Permit the War Labor Board to
take jurisdiction on It's own motion
and freeze strike action for a period
of 60 days.
The latter action, according to
members of the committee, may be
taken after the present 30-day
cooling off" period during which
the strike vote is held.
In addition, the committed s
measure would:
/. Require labor organizations to
register with the National Labor
Relations Board and file statements
as to their finances, membership and
elections.
