ROME, Dec. 20.-Flfteen per-

Eight persons were wounded, in

Workers at Contrada Tramonta

Hartley Sure This Congress
Won't Change Labor Law
Ry the A,sceiutsd Press

DETROIT, Dec. 20.-In the opin-
ion of the man who has been in the
legislative corner since the opening
bell, labor may as well abandon any
hope of an early knockout of the
Taft-Hartley law.
Chairman Hartley, Republican, OF
New Jersey, of the House Labor
Committee. predicts without quail
f1cation this Congress will not
change the law"
Nor, he added In visit to Detroit
during the week, will anything be-
yond major change in the political
complexion of the House and Senate
give labor any hope of repeating
the law.
He based his confidence on the
fact that some features of the
Taft Hartley law received the ma
jority approval of Congress as long
ago as 1910.
Even if the complexion of Con-
gress were to change to a point as
far back as 1910" he maintained.
there would still be a majority in
favor of this law"
Mr.. Hartley said the pressure for
repeal or revision of the law has
been the severest in his 20 years
experience in the House.

more trouble for Premier Alcide de
Gasperis leftist- -harried govern
ment than any of the assaults 1t
has yet confronted in the public
squares of the cities and the con-
stituent assembly.
Bakers, milk distributors and ice
plants were exempted from the strike
call, but the strike of flour millers
threatened the bread as well as the
spaghetti supply.
Sepral, the governments food
control organization, announced
that distribution of the monthly
spaghetti ration would begin Mon
day in Rome province, but warned
it could not guarantee how long
supplies would last. Consequently
many Romans were preparing to
rush the spaghetti ration lines.
The communist dominated Cen
eral Confederation of Labor declared
the strike would continue until the
workers demands were met.
Meanwhile, commercial workers in
Florence, in Northern Italy, voted
to walk out Monday.

and a longer time period rather
than adjusting prices to the pur-
chasing power of the current i'll
comes. This would postpone rather
than promote the kind of stable ad-
justment that DUR economy re-
quires."
The President then wrote, for his
own part:
IF the Congress does not see
to provide the necessary legis-
lative authority, it is my intention
to vacate the executive order be-
cause I do not believe that such
regulations should rest Indefinite
ly in peacetime on emergency or
var powers after the Congress has
had ample opportunity to con-
slider the subject"
Mr. Truman did not set a date
for removing the existing credit
controls, if Congress declines to
approve peacetime control. But
presumably he would volt until this
session adjourns July 81.
Government analysts forecast
that the current $40, 256, 600, 900 OF
credit for retail buying probably
will double within a few years in
any event. They saw the Federal
Reserve boards controls as less
of a break on the volume so far
than the shortages of goods.
