WASHINGTON, Nov. 81

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-(R
The House took a two-way ap-
prosch today to the problem Of

The rules committee prepared
to act (l0:30 a. m. EST on anti
strike legislation already APP
proved by the Military commit
tee.
An expenditures subcommit-
tee began planning a comprom-
Use Full Employment" Bill. The
full committee yesterday wound
up six weeks of hearings on the
measure. which already has
passed the Senate in modified
form.
Most of the military group
argued that the best way to halt
labor strife is to provide stricter
regulation of unions.
Generally, those supporting the
Full Employment" Bill oppose
such action. urging instead that
assurance of jobs for all is the
best way to quiet unrest.
Acting Chairman Cox (D-Ga)
of the rules committee told a
reporter 1t had been planned TO
await conc lusion of the
Management Labor Conference
here before acting on the anti
strike legislation, but things
seem to be dragging down
there"

interview he would urge speedy
action on the measure. He said

However, Reps. Holifield Cd

(D-Pa) termed the bill "anti-
labor" and told a reporter they
would oppose its consideration
now.
The measure would repeal the
strike-vote section of the Smith

Act, under which the govern
ment is required to conduct such
votes if properly notified. In
addition, it would:
