House Prepares
For Test Vote
On Labor Bill
To Take Up Measure
Restricting Political
Activities of Unions
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The House prepared today for
a test vote on other labor legisla-
ton during lull in hearings on
President Humans plan to Gre
ate fact-inding commissions for
investigation of major industrial
disputes.
A Military Affairs Committee bill
to restrict political activities of un-
ions and penalize them for violating
no-strike clauses of contracts was up
for consideration, but leaders an
nounced that the vote would con-
Germ only rules that will prevail dur.
ing consideration of the measure.
One rule would ban amendment
unless it had been approved by the
committee that wrote it. Labor sup
porters said they would try to de-
feat the resolution and bar consid-
Grafton of the bill itself until it had
gone back to the Rules Committee
for further action.
Confident of Approval.
Advocates of the misunderstanding
bill, however, were confident the res
olution would win approval and that
they could call up the bill itself
when they desire.
The House Labor Committee yes
terday heard John L. Lewis lambast
the Truman fact-finding bill and
President Eric Johnston of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce express disapproval of two
OF its main provisions.
Mr.. Johnston said he favored the
fact-finding idea, but did not think
fact-flnding commissions should
have subpoena power. He opposed
the banning of strikes or lockouts
for 80 days while a commission was
working. He urged Congress not to
move in haste" in consideration
of the measure.
The hearings were recessed until
tomorrow by Acting Chairman
Ramspeck. AFL President William
Green, and Ira Mosher, head of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, will be heard then.
