Then Branca whipped over two strikes on Enos Slaughter.

Pinch hitter Arky Vaughan went out on rou- tine grounder to end the game.
 The third-place Boston Braves remained seven games back of the Dodgers when the Pittsburgh Pi- rates defeated them in a 16-l0 slugfest on 20 hits.

 Labor Sec. Lewis B.

 But he reminded delegates that amidst the sound and fury which accompanied debate and passage of the federal Taft-Hartley law,
 many persons overlooked the fact that some 30 state legislatures many instances with less sound but considerably more fury-passed legislation affecting labor unions in what might charitabIy be called a : restrictive sense.
 For example, IA states passed anti closed shop laws; 12 passed laws re- strlcting picketing and other strike ac- tivities; II outlawed secondary boy colts; and the same number regulated labor relations in public utilities. Other state laws regulated, limited, or prohibited jurisdictional strikes, strikes of public employees, the number of pickets and the checkoff of union dues"
