required. .s
The sitdown strike and the Sec
ondary boycott boycott of a con-
Germ handling products OF a struck
planD are classified as unfair labor
practices and another provision out
laws union initiation fees for tempo
rary workers.
James A. Brownlow, secretary Of
the State Federation OF Labor, says
the bill is q declaration Of war on
labor" and that II 1t becomes law
every legal weapon will be used to
combat its enforcement.
Proponents, including Senator Ar
thur H. Laws, Denver Republican

would inject more harmony into
employer-employe relationships.

banned under the proposed law. OPP

promised to cooperate with the

acute meat shortage that may
confront civilians during the

chasing meat under rationing.
Supplies throughout the Nation"
Mr.. Brown said, "are believed ade-
quate to meet the civilian demand
under rationing, but several days
may be needed to get meat in suffi-
cient varieties and quantities into
all areas. Therefore, it behooves
every housewife to bear with her
local butcher and the Government
in this initial period"
The price administrator added:
II am particularly gratified at the
fine spirit of cooperation already
shown by the armed services and
lease-lend in helping us meet any
temporary acute situations which
may occur.
Buying by these agencies has
been kept to their minimum needs
and their willingness to help meet
this civilian problem is real indi-
cation Of their deep interest in get
ting meat rationing off to good
start"
The Agriculture Department also
announced late today that a pre-
vious order requiring livestock
slaughterers to set aside certain
percentages of their production for
direct war purposes would be sus-
pended for two weeks.
This action, officials said, is to
enable meat wholesalers and re-
