Opponents Of new labor legisla-
ton said they would fight any at
tempt to weaken the Case bill. They
based their strategy on the hope
that the bill would be so strong that
1t either would be unacceptable to
the Senate or would draw q veto II
passed.
The Case bill was introduced as a
substitute for the House Labor
Committees watered-down version
of the fact-finding bill. 1t would
make labor unions liable for con-
tract violations and would ban fore
mans unions, picketing violence
and union boycotts. 1t also would
provide a 30-day no-strike cooling
of period.
To Act on Tuesday
The margin of 253 to ia by which
the House agreed TO take up the
Case bill convinced even die-hard
union supporters that the House
would pass some type of strike legts-
lation.
The House will act on the bill
Tuesday. Moves to amend or sub
stitute a less severe measure will be
considered Monday!
Rep. Brooks Hays, ID, ArkO, who
supported the Case bill in its test
vote Thursday, proposed the latest
substitute. He said he would ofter Q
