Anti-Strike Bill
Passes House.,

Senate Approval of
FinuI Draft Possible
Before NightfoII
Bv J. A. O'LEARY.

BY a vote of PIG to 129 the
House today approved the final
draft of the wartime labor con-
troll bill and sent it to the Senate,
where it may clear its last hur-
die late today.
Senate leaders we're trying to ar
range their program to make pos
sible a vote in that branch before
evening.
The first restrictive labor bill to
approach the final stages of en-
actment in many years, the meas
ure was spurred on its legislative
path by the dispute between John L.
Lewis United Mine Workers and
the coal operators, but contains
broad provisions designed to curb
any work stoppages in factories or
mines producing war materials.
Main features of the bill are:
1t strengthens the hands of the
War Labor Board with the power
OF subpoena and requires 30-day
cool-off period, followed by secret
ballot of the workers.
Defines Presidents Powers.
It defines the Presidents power
to take over plant threatened with
work stoppage. After that step is
taken any person who promotes or
encourages strike would be liable
to a penalty of $4,000, or year in
jail, or both The right of the in
dividual worker to stay away from
work is protected, provided he does
not induce or encourage anyone
else to strike.
In preliminary test of sentiment
the House defeated. 155 to 81. a move
by Representative Celler. Democrat
of New York, to send the bill back
to conference
Assuming the Senate adopts the
report. well-lnformed sources at The
Capitol expressed belief the Presi-
cent will sign the bill.
Representative Celler had moved
for recommital with Instructions to
the conferees to strike out the 30
day cool-off period and the secret
ballot. After he was beaten on 2
standing vote. he failed to get
enough seconds for a rollcall.
May Defends Measure
Before the House voted on the
bill, Chairman May Of the Military
Affairs Committee declared the con-
ferees on the measure haven't done
anything to offend any labor group"
but only to give them the right
to act for themselves without domi-
nation from any one.
From the opposition side, Repre-
sentative Marcantonio. American

prohibit the War Labor Board from

Mr.. Mays statement of the aim
Of the conferees to leave labor free
from dictation apparently referred
to the provision for secret ballot
of the workers on whether they

Over Million Quarts Of Food
Canned by Miss. 4-H Club

When the wartime farm pro-
duction of All clubbers in the
various states is added up it will
make a si2eable total of food and
fiber for our fighting men, L. S.
Department of Agriculture off
eials pointed out this week aft
er checking reports from the field.
Mississippi All clubbers are
among those in the vanguard of
our youthful soldiers of the soil.
Reports from that state indicate
that the club members, number
ing $1,000, not only make up
five per cent of the All elubbers
in the country, but that they are
also doing a man-sized job.
Among other things they have
canned 1,495,000 quarts of food
this year, raised 1850 head of
livestock, and 1860, 900 head OF
poultry, cultivated as demonstra.
ton projects 22,461 acres of
food, feed and fiber crops, and
planted 9,145 acres in Victory
Gardens.
When it comes to collecting
scrap and buying bonds, they
play their part here, too. Up to
now they have collected 4,256
pounds of scrap metal, 100000
pounds of scrap rubber, have al
ready bought S147,640 worth Of
war bonds and stamps, and have
obtained pledges for an addition
al $4,000 worth.
Negro All Club members, num-
bering $4,000, or nearly half of
the total number of clubbers in
the state, have made a substan-
tial contribution to All club
achievement in Mississippi. Re-
ports indicate that Negro girls
are taking an especially active
interest in All club work. They
number 2S,SS6, while white All
club girls number only 23,14S.

Mr.. Todd, who had been serv-

the week before, met Sergeant
Netter at the station. Feeling
somewhat weary from travelling,
the sergeant said he would like
TO get a cup OF coffee. So.
thinking that the restaurant had
changed its undemocratic policy.
Mr.. Todd suggested going in the
restaurant at the station. They
sat at the counter and we're re-
fused service by the waitress and
the manager.
The manager, Frank Sheroce,
was told in no uncertain terms
that such action was a violation
of the principles of Democracy
and that the colored soldier was
fighting for him too. He admit
ted that the restaurant is for the
public, but added, ut is for the
white public
A few hours later, some mem
bers of the Institute On Race Re-
lations visited the Greyhound
Restaurant. When the colored
members were refused service at
the counter, the white members
ordered and then shifted the food
or drinks over to the colored
members.
The manager called the police
to evict the colored. He found
to his dismay that such tactics
were useless because the police
found that no laws were broken
and that in a public place a per-
son can sit as long as he desires
or until he or she is served.
