that no contract had been signed to

COALITION LINING

Senate Democrats, Repub-

WASHINGTON, May 26-(P-An
unusual coalition of Republicans
and Democrats threatened Sunday
to block early Senate approval of
President Humans measure to
draft men who strike against the
government and apply criminal
penalties to their leaders.
Despite speedy House passage of
the drastic emergency bill by a
306 to Is vote Saturday night, two
camps which have been battling
tooth and toenail since labor dis
putes legislation was brought be-
fore the Senate May 10 gave signs
Of uniting in opposition.

This was a new provision put
in by the Senate to strike at the
demands of John L. Lewis for an
operator-financied fund his United
Mine Workers could spend as they
chose.
Administration leaders had to
wait until this measure cleared
the Senate before they could bring
the Presidents recommended bill
before that chamber. Democratic
Leader Barley CKy.) finally oo-
tanned unanimous consent to make
the latter the pending business Tor

This was after the Truman meas

forced a delay in its consideration
Saturday night when Barley tried
to bring it up at once. -.
Taft tol da reported he would
vote against the measure because
he does not believe the nation can
solve strikes even in it's major
utilities by putting unwilling en-
ployes into uniform and forcing
them to work. Senator Mllllkln

of the bill.

crop was worth 1888, $40, 900 to Tar

China Is Threat
However, w. P. Hedrick, Agri-

eight years of war and famine
and he predicted that within three
Or four years China would pro-
duce more than 200, 900, 900 pounds
of f%lue-cured tobacco yearly.
This would be a threat to
American exports, but would not
necessarily mean the loss of all
our export trade with China, for
as China's economic condition
improves, consumption of tobacco
products will increase,' said
