Jury Dra,eing Postponed
Late this afternoon The
Citizen was informed that the
drawing of jury to serve In
circuit court has been post
poned till Friday.
The grand jury will be
chosen from the venire on
Wednesday of next week.
Circuit Judge Aquilino Lopez,
Jr., said today that, after a jury
OF $50 has been drawn late this
afternoon TO serve In circuA
court, he will appoint an elisor,
or special officer. to serve sum-
monses and to act in every other
capacity, in connection with a
grand jury investigation Of
Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, ordered
by Governor Caldwell.
Judge Lopez added that he
did not know whether OF not
Sheriff Sawyer will be sus-
pended. as that power is vested
in the governor alone. a fele-
gram that Judge Lopez re-
ceived last night from Cover
nor Caldwell said nothing
whatever about the suspension
from office of Sheriff Sawyer.
The governor merely said he
urged" that a special officer be
named by Judge Lopez to per-
form the duties, in connection
with the investigation, that nor
mally would be performed by a
sheriff. Unless further action Ii
taken by Governor Caldwell,
Sheriff Sawyer will contir ue 20
serve in his capacity as law-en-
forcing officer.
Nothing is said in the tele-
gram about the appointment OF
special state attorney TO con-
duct the investigation. though
news dispatches from Tallahas-
see stated that such an officer
will be named.
Investigation of charges ans'
complaints was the way the
governors telegram read, but
the nature of them was not re-
vealed in the message.
This will be the second time
that Sheriff Sawyer has been
investigated by a grand jury
since he has been in office. On
the first occasion. the grand
Jury voted II TO one that no
was not guilty of the charges
that had been preferred against
him.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Moreno
Wallace said that he had spoken
to Sheriff Sawyer over long dis
lance telephone, since the gov
ernor had ordered the grand
Jury investigation, and that Saw
yer had left Pensacola, where he
had been attending the state
sheriff's convention, presumably
to return to Key West. He is ae-
companied by Assistant State
Attorney William V. Albury and
Deputy Sheriff George Lee.

Taft Seeks New Laws

Bargaining Powers
Second OF three drticles.)
By Mox HoII
Associated Press Labor Reporter.

Associated Press Labor Reporter.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF Ohio
states the philosophy underlying
much of the labor legislation that
will be debated in the new Con-
gress.
THE general labor question" he
said in an interview, eis correcting
an unbalance of power.
Senator Taft, who may have more
to say about labor bills than any
other man in the Senate. said thai
formerly the employer had all the
power, but because of laws, court
decisions and administrative ac-
tions, it has shifted completely to
the labor side"
Union leaders angrily deny that
unions ever gained more bargain
ing power than corporations. Their
voices will be heard, but not so
strongly as before.
Several Possibilities Seen.
Labor law proposals fall roughly
into these groups:
/. RepaSsage of the Case bill,
which President Truman vetoed last
June.
2. Rewriting of the Wagner Act
of 1885, which unions call "labor's
magma carta."
3. Outlawing the closed shop.
4. Miscellaneous other curbs to
make unions more accountable for
their actions.
5. Settling major disputes and
outlawing strikes that vitality affect
the public. This important subject
is a story in itself. The present
article will deal only with the first
four groups.

unions, too: give employers more
freedom to put their side of a
dispute before the workers; take
away the prosecuting powers of the

Other proposals would require
unions to make financial reports, to

elections with secret ballots.
There are also proposals to pre-
vent unions from jurisdictional
strikes, from mass picketing, and
from forcing an employer to hire

says he Is "open- minded" about
banning the closed shop. He will
support some-by no means all-of
the other proposals.
Balance Is Sought.
'The purpose of our policy is to
adjust the balance so as to put
collective bargaining on an equal
basis-so that both sides will be in
clined to accept reasonable solu-
tions," Senator Taft said. There
is no single panacea. It is just a
question Of reversing enough of
these things to get the situation on
an even keel"
The anticlosed shop proposal is
likely to produce fierce debate,
Where closed shop exists no one
can work in the plant unless he be-
longs to the union.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
Inesota is writing a bill that would
outlaw not only the closed shop but
also the slightly milder union
