In at least one state, New Jer-
sey, legislators have already pass
ed a law to control strikes in utili-
ties. In fact, the law was recently
put into use by Governor Walter
E. Edge, when he seized struck
gas ard coke plants Of the Public
Service Electric and Gas Company
and kept them running until agree
ment was reached.
A majority Of union members
included in the questioning are
found opposed to strike-forbidding
legislation for utilities. Four IN

ever, the poll reveals.
A majority Of both Republicans
and Democrats favor such legis-

sentiment on the issue:
"Should laws be passed to for

0pA CONTROLS ON FISH PRICES MAY
 BE LIFTED SOON

WASHINGTON, March 4. = An OPA executive says fish price ceil- ings will be removed if expected heavy production materializes this spring.
 Howard Lynch, head of OPA's fish section, declined to name items which might be removed from price controls, however, saying that to do so would be nothing better than guess.
 The House Merchant Marine Committee is winding up fact finding study of the salt water fish industry following industry as- sertions that pricing and import policies are running business.
 Lynch said that present stocks of frozen fish are at a record high level of 115,0Oo,OoO pounds, an in crease of 36,000,000 pounds over holdings at this time last year. This increase would be absorbed, he said, if per capita consumption is upped one fourth of a pound.
 We are not so optimistic about the food picture in l946 as to say there will be such abundance of these other items (such as meat and poultry that fish will be in poor demand Lynch testified.
 "The fact that there are black markets is prima facie evidence that price controls are needed, for prices would rise above ceilings if there were no controls.
