 NATIONAL ISSUES: In the com ing national election personalities, not principles, will dominate im- portant issues. Candidates are Sha- dowed by an evil portent. Health hazards will be serious.

Labor Draft HEARINGS
End Thursday; Vote
Early in June Seen

Committee action on the Bailey
Brewster work or fight" bill can be
expected within two weeks after the
conclusion of hearings Thursday
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee pre-
dicted today.
The Thursday session will be de-
voted to testimony from CIO and
other labor spokesmen who, if they
go along with the AFL, will oppose
the measure. The bill proposes
service in an armed forces labor
battalion for men who refuse to
enter war work
Labor, which is lined up against
the Army, Navy and War Production
Board on the measure, was repre-
sented at the hearing yesterday aft
ernoon by Lewis G. Hines, AFL leg
islative representative, and Martin
H. Miller, legislative spokesman for
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men.
Coercion Charged.
Mr.. Hines called the measure an
attempt to coerce workers where no
coercion has been shown necessary
while Mr. Miller contended there
is no need for civilian conscription
in any form at this stage of the war.
"The great majority of people.
when they understand, oppose and
resent conscription of civilians who
would be driven, like cattle, to the
private profit-making industries of
the Nation" Mr.. Miller told the
committee.
He asserted that no "straightfor-
ward" attempt had been made to
solve manpower shortages in some
industries by getting management,
labor and Government represent
atives together around a conference
table, and added:
I'VE are of the opinion that civil
conscription in the United States
will lead dangerously close to the
evils which we war against"
AFL Fights Bill.
Mr.. Hines said the AFL was
against the bill because we in
America have always believed that
a free and voluntary service of our.
people is superior to coercion"
When Senator Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine, co-author of the
bill with Senator Bailey, Democrat,
of North Carolina, said the measure
was aimed at halting a huge labor
turnover in war plants, as well as
permitting the drafting of labor
where necessary, Mr.. Hines asserted
that the labor situation had been
easing recently as evidenced by
mounting unemployment compensa-
ton payments.
