0ut|awing Of Strikes
In Basic Industries
Asked by Fulbright
Compulsory Arbitration
In Labor Disputes Also
Urged by Senator
BY the Associated Press

| Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
of Arkansas proposed today that
Congress outlaw strikes and COM
lpel arbitration of labor disputes
in basic industries, such as coal
mining, which directly affect the
welfare Of the country.
Such machinery could be made
applicable to future coal work stop
pages If not the present Walko1it.
Senator Fulbright told a reporter.
He said it might be applied also to
enterprises such as oil, steel, trans
portation and public utilities.
His idea, Senator Fulbright ex-
planned, would be to ban strikes al
together in these industries and
force arbitration of disputes through
a new agency on the pattern Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
through a special court, or both.
Need of Controls Seen.
He added that the Government
might have to exercise regulatory
powers over the industries, as it
now does over some utilities, and
might have to control prices of the
industries products to adjust wage
disputes.
Representative Howard w. Smith,
Democrat, OF Virginia entered the
list of commentators by saying he
believes the National Labor Rela-
tions Act needs revision to make it
work both ways" in the matter of
unfair practices, and has disclosed
that he plans to draft such a re-
vision. The act. he told a reporter,
sis the underlying cause for all the
present labor strikes"
Representative Smith, co-author
of the Smith Connally Labor Act
said the revision will be designed to
stop strikes in public utilities and
will contain some provisions SIM
liar to those in the vetoed Case
bill.
The suggestions of Senator Full
bright and Representative Smith
came while legislative leaders OF
both parties waited to see whether
President Truman intends to call
them into conference about possible
ways and means of ending the coal
walkout. There have been indica-
tions the President is thinking Of
such move If developments point
to a prolonged mine shutdown.

Minneapolis.
Picket lines were established at
each Of st. Paul's n grade and high
schools. A minimum Of two pickets
patroled entrances at the smaller

the line at the larger ones.
The temperature was at 8 above
zero when picketing started at 7::30

heavy winter clothing, stepped along
gingerly. Reliefs were arranged at
hourly intervals.
School authorities made no effort
to operate the schools as the teach

| 2O% Drop in Steel
Predicted This Week
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--A SHARP
drop of 20.9 points in anticipated
| steel production this week, due te
the coal shutdown, was forecast to.
day by the American Iron g. Steel
Institute.
Production was expected to plum
met from Ola per cent of capacity
last week to 70.5 per cent this week
the institute said.
Only rarely has production fallen
| sharply In single week. The drop
would mean decrease from 1,610,-
300 tons of ingots last week to l.
242 500 tons this week. The insti-
tute said shortages Of coal were the
sole reason.
The Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp
announced in Pittsburgh its first
curtailment in the coal crisis. The
company said its operating rate
would drop from 95 per cent Of ca
lpacity to about So per cent.
The fourth largest steel producer
put three blast furnaces, seven open
hearths, and two batteries of by
product coke ovens at its Pittsburgh
and Aliquippa works out of pro-
duction. The firm also banked all
rectangular coke ovens at the Ali
quippa plant
The company said its Otis works
at Cleveland is not affected as II
had more coal on hand and may be
able to keep going at Its present rate

A spokesman reported the firm Is
trying to spread the work as much

partment was started ahead d
time" to keep men working.
The company said that in view Of
the curtailment 1t has furloughed

u. 5. Can Scrap
Holding Units
Utilities Lose Appeal
On 'Deoth Sentence
In 6-to-0 Decision
BY the Assoeiaied Press

The Supreme Court held, by a
vote of 60, today that the Gov
ernment can legally scrap "use-
less holding companies" under
the long-disputed death SEN
tence" clause.
Putting the stamp of constitu-
tionality on this provision of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act,
the court upheld orders of the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion requiring dissolution of two
large companies.
The two firms, both with Offices
in New York. are American Power
& Light Co. and Electric Power &c
Light Corp. Both are holding COM
panies III the system of the Electric
Bond & Share Co.
Evils Outweigh Advantages"
The opinion, by Justice Murphy,
said, "The actual and potential evils
resulting from their (American and
Electric Power g. Light continued
existence may well be said to out
weigh any of their claimed ad-
vantages.'
Justices Reed, Douglas and jack
son previously disqualified them.
selves from taking any part. JUS
tice Rutledge wrote a concurring
opinion.
The death sentence clause" says
the commission must require each
holding company ito take such ac-
tion as it shall find necessary to
insure that the corporate structure
or continued existence of any COM
pany in a holding company system
does not unduly or unnecessarily
complicate the structure or unfairly
or inadequately distribute voting
power"
The commission said continued
existence of American Power &
Light and Electric Power & Light
complicated the Electric Bond Ss
Share system and unfairly distrib-
uted voting power among security
holders of Bond & Share.
Held Mere Complexities.
Justice Murphy's opinion said the
commission reasonably could con-
clude from the record that Ameri-
can and Electric perform no justi-
fable function: they are unneces-
sary complexities enabling Bond 81
Share to perpetuate its pyramided
system"
Justice Murphy said the court
was 'unimpressed" by a claim that
i dissolution is so drastic a remedy
as to be unreasonable.
i Elimination of useless holding
companies may be carried out by
| fair and equitable methods so a.
to destroy nothing Of real value,
Justice Murphy's opinion stated
American and Electric Power &
4 Light, the commission found, are
little more than set of books and
a portfolio of securities. And we
cannot say that the commission was
without basis for its belief that
dissolution, under the circum-
stances, would harm no one"

Supreme Court Again
Refuses 10 Act on
Georgia Unit Vote
Won't Reconsider Suits
Challenging Election Of
ToImodge and Davis
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court today re-
fused to reconsider a recent
decision by which it rejected an
effort by several Georgia resi-
dents to void the nomination of
Eugene Talmadge as Governor.
The court by the decision tossed
out a complaint that rights of some
voters were infringed by the
nomination of Mr.. Talmadge In
Georgia's county unit election sys-
tenn. Mr.. Talmadge won the nom-
inatioa although he traiIed James
/ ". Carmichael in popular votes.
Reconsideration was asked by DR.
Cullen B. Gosnell and Mrs. Rober
Lee Turman.

shocking, they said in petition
filed with the court, that ill q fieIc

Dismissed Without Argument.
The court dismissed the case with
out hearing arguments and wrote
no opinion explaining the views of
the six-judge majority.
The court at the same time to-
day refused to reconsider its dis
missal of a parallel case brought
by Earl P. Cook, a Georgia Tech
student. Mr.. Cook challenged the
nomination of Judge James G. Davis
in a contest with Representative
Helen Douglas Mankin for the
Democratic nomination to Congress
in the 5th Georgia district.
In another case, the court de-
cided that a California retail sales
tax may not be applied to the sale
Of fuel oil by the Richfleld Oil Corp.
of California to the New Zealand
government.
Vinson Upholds Indians.
Chief Justice VinSon, new mem
Der Of the high tribunal, handed
down his first opinion, but three of
his colleagues disagreed with his
views. The court also split in the
two other cases decided today.
Justice Wilson's opinion held that
the Tillamook Indians and other
tribes are entitled to payment for
lands in Oregon taken by the United
States. Justices Reed. Rutledge and
Burton dissented and Jackson took
no part.

A power saving over the week
end OF only 8 per cent was re-
ported today by the Potomac
Electric Power Co. as officials
took stock of the effects of the
nrst few days under the dimout
regulation ordered by the Com
missioners to conserve dwindling
coal stocks here.
In the meantime conference
was to be held this afternoon to
determine whether the city's dimout
order will have to be strengthened

In connection with the dimout
police disclosed that more. than a
score of business establishments
would be warned for failing to COM
ply with the order since Saturday.
Pepco Can Exc Out 3S Days.
Pepco reported that its coal
stocks had dropped to $4,000 tons,
representing 31-day supply for
normal operations. With the dim
out order expected to effect a saving
Of at least 20 per cent in power use,
the coal would last SO days, officials
said.
One official of the company said
many people had not caught on
yet" In cutting down their use of
power. He said he was not disap-
pointed over the per cent saving,
but certainly hoped observance
void improve.
He pointed out that the power
load at the end of the week is
normally light.
Only 2.100 tons of coal, which was
en- route from the mines at the time
Of the miners walkout, was received
by the company over the week end,
it was said. This represented two-
thirds OF normal days supply.
Capt. Robert Pearce of the list
precinct said that a majority OF the
