Laws in Seven States
By the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Jan. 22.-The American
Federation Of Labor's general coun-
sci. Joseph A. Padway, regards Colo
radios labor regulatory act as the
most complex, as well as the most
vicious" Of so-called antilabor laws
passed In IL States and 1t may be
the first to reach the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Padway reported to the AFL
Executive Council in session here
that suits attacking the constitu-
tionaIty Of these laws had been
started In seven States and were
under study in five others.
In addition to licensing unions
and their representatives, Mr.. Pad
way said the Colorado act requires
compulsory incorporation and de-
tailed regulation Of the internal
affairs Of labor unions, and con-
tains some restrictions on striking,
picketing and boycottins. With the
CIO cooperating, the labor unions
soon will argue their case In the
Colorado Supreme Court.
Lawsuits have been begun also In
Kansas Federal Court, Texas
Florida, Alabama, Idaho and South
Dakota State courts.
For another State. Arkansas, Mr.
Palway said his ONCE offered as
sistance to State federation officials
and some correspondence followed
I'VE heard no more" his report said
from the Arkansas (AFL) official,
for some time until a telegram was
received advising that ofhcers Of a
local union somewhere in the State
had been arrested, tried. convkteo
and sentenced to prison for ont
year. The State federation official.
informed us that they did not know
OF these arrests or convictions unit
the trials had been concluded"
The report added that the anti.
labor laws OF other States Massa.
chusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania
Minnesota which are not in liti.
cation are Of a type and character
which makes it advisable to await
prosecution by the State in pref.
erence to Affirmative action by tn.
unions in instituting civil suits"

cess today. Session will be resumed
Monday when the members vii
take up the report Of committee

Houseto Vote Monday
On U. 5. Contribution
Ito Foreign Relief

The House Is expected to vote
Monday on legislation authorizing
an appropriation of 81 $50 ,000, 900 Is
the United States contribution for
the operation Of the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration, which has been organized
here on funds supplied by other
countries.
Before the final action, however,
critics Of the bill are ready to offer
amendements aimed At reducing
the size Of the authorization, put
ting . time limit on the program,
prohibiting use Of any OF the funds
for educational or religious pur.
poses, and on the other hand, broad
ening the scope Of the postwar
relief job which UNRRA was Gre
ated to perform.
Representative Mundt, Republican,
Of South Dakota, complained dur
ing the House debate yesterday that
the language Of the UNRRA agree
ment, limiting the use Of funds to
countries which have been occupied
by the enemy, would preclude the
extenson Of relief to India. Other
critics in the House said Russia
would take advantage Of UNRRA
to extend Its influence over Europe,
and that American agreement to
participate in the relief distribu-
ion was unconstitutional without
prior congressional approval.
Representative Tulbright, Demo-
crat, Of Arkansas, said Russias in
dorsement Of UNRRA was proof
chat Marshal Stain was mot pri-
marily interested in imposing COM
munism upon the whole of Europe"
because If he were, me would have
nothing to do with a plan to bring
help to the starving and helpless
but would seek to further their
misery"
The United States Is one of A
united and associate nations that
are parties to the UNRRA agree
ment.

Farm Wages

peatedly received what amounts to
a blanket deferment from selectivs
service. There are few restrictions
on their transfer from one farm to
another. Thus they are In 4 posi-
ton to bargain.
That, 1t was disclosed, has played
big part In leading. the VIA into
the unprecedented control
program.
A recent report of the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics stated that
in every section of the country
farm wages had shown 4 sharp
increase in the previous II months.
For the year 1s43, wages stood
264 per cent Of the 1894 aver
age, and "a points above the l947
level. Present rates are said to
average $63 a month, with board.
compared with s50.91 a year ago and
with $26 for the 1868 average. In
some areas wages are considerably
higher than the average.
To Establish Ceiling.
The farm wage boards will be
instructed to set ceilings only for
specific types Of work or farm op-
erations for certain dexixnated
areas. Wages considered substand.
ard will not be affected. However.
ceilings below the $2,40o level NAV
be set II boards consider it necessary.
Increases in pay above the S2,4oo
level would be permitted only with
the approval Of Mr.. Jones, except in
cases Of increases above 5000, where
control rests with the internal reve.
nue. commissioner.
VIA officials said the farm wage
regulations would subject violators
to severe penalties. Under provi.
sions OF the Sterilization Act maxi.
mum penalty Is q fine Of 81 900 and
imprisonment for year. Both en-
ployers and employees would bs
liable.
The regulations also prohibit re-
ductions IN wage rates below the
highest wage or salary paid for ths
particular work between January /,
1892, and September IS, 1s42.
