WASHINGTON, Jan. Is QNS)
Clio President Philip Murray
called his union lieutenants into
conference today on the next step
in an all-out labor drive to kill any
form of work-or-fight legislation
and substitute an administrative
solution to the critical manpower
problem.
The CIO leaders stand against
what he termed "hysteria" and
enactment OF unavoidable" pend
ing legislation endorsed by five

gress its first big battle of the

MANPOWER FARLEY
Murray'S request for James F.
Byrnes, war mobilizer, to summon
a manpower conference of labor,
industry, agriculture and govern
ment leaders came as the House
military committee backed away
from using army induction as a
penalty against unwilling workers.
The committee will hear Muir
ray Tuesday, following testimony
Monday by the AFL, which is also
expected TO oppose the pending
bill of Rep. May CD of Kentucky,
House military chairman.
Even without labors expressed
opposition, however, majority of
the House committee has indi-
Gated a determination to substi-
tute the civil penalty of fine or
Imprisonment for an "or fight"
alternative.
