Modified Closed Shop
Bi|IUrgedby
In Hitting Ball S Plan
Minnesoton's Proposal
Is Unnecessarily Drastic,
Freshman Senator Says
By the Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin proposed a "modi-
fed" closed shop bill today, say
ing legislation offered by Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota is
unnecessarily drastic"
Senator Mccarthy, a freshman
Senator, said in a statement that
his bill would provide for contin-
uance of closed and union shops,
but with restrictions that will
modify them to prevent abuses"
Senator Ball has proposed out
lawing labor contracts which make
union membership a condition OF
employment-as in the closed and
union shops.
Would Outlaw Permit System.
Senator McCarthy's proposal, as
he outlined it, provides:
81. A modified closed shop would
be mandatory after two-thirds of
the employees voted for it by secret
ballot at a supervised election.
.'2. The modified closed shop
would be open only to the extent
that any one who Is refused mem-
bership In a labor union or who
is expelled from membership in a
union would not be denied. the
right to work.
"3. Outlawing of the permit sys-
tenn, whereby employees in a closed
shop are denied union membership
but forced to pay a fee to work"
Morse Wants Wagner Act Improved.
With labor matters getting top
consideration on Capitol Hill, Sem
ator Morse, Republican, of oregon,
urged that Congress give first
priority to "perfecting" the Wagner
Labor Act. Senator Morse, mem
ber of the Senate Labor Commit
tee, who has split with Republican
colleagues on labor policy, told re-
porters:
eff we are going to have sound
labor legislation, we should turn our
first attention to perfecting the
Wagner Act" That act set up the
National Labor Relations Board.
In radio address last night Sem
ator Morse assailed the COP course
on fiscal as well as labor matters.
He said:
eff the Republicans continue their
antilabor policy and their fiscal poll
cies which will lead to fiscal isola-
ton, they will lose both Congress
and the White House in 1948-and
they will give us the worst era of
labor unrest in our country"
Sees G. o. p. on Defensive.
Predicting that President Truman
will seek the 194S presidential nomi-
nation, Senator Morse said the Chief
Executive sis slugging right now,
and has the Republicans on the de-
fensive."
Even before his verbal blast on Ia
Dor policy, the oregon Senator was
at work drafting a bill to revise
the Wagner Act, sometimes called
labor's bill of rights.
As it stands, that law guarantees
workers the right to bargain col
lectively, protects them from en-
.ployer coercion and outlaws certain
unfair labor practices.
Senator Morse refused to discuss
the Wagner Act changes he has in
mind. But he has indicated they
would give employers bigger voice
in labor relations. That is the aim
of other Wagner Act revisions al
ready proposed in Congress.
Senator Morse's blunt criticism Is
likely to stir up plenty of trouble
in the Senate Labor Committee
which will hold its first regular
meeting tomorrow morning.
Chairman Taft is expected to tag
for first action bill he is co-spon-

Georgia LEGISLATURE 5
Goyernorship Fight
Recesses in Disorder
Senute Is Unable to
Find Seats in Joint
Session With House
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Jan. IA Joint
meeting of the Georgia Legisla-
ture to select a successor to the
late Gov.-elect Eugene Tai
madge resulted in bedlam today,
and a recess was called until
q pm. after repeated efforts to
restore order failed.
The confusion started when men,
hers of the Senate started to file
into the House chamber for the
Joint session that will decide whether
Mr.. Talmadge's 33-year-old son,
Herman, will succeed to the Gov
ernorship or whether It will go to
M. E. Thompson, lieutenant Gov
ernor-elect.
When the Senators were unable
to find seats, president William
Dean ordered the chamber cleared,
but when the legislators again filed
back in there still were no seats and
after attempting for an hour to
clear the chamber of all except
members and newsmen, Mr.. Dean
declared the session adjourned.
Forces backing Mr.. Talmadge won
a preliminary victory in the Senate
when that body decided to proceed
with the canvassing OF the votes for
Governor. Thompson leaders had
sought to have the joint session can
vass votes for all officers at the same
time so as to assure his election as
Lieutenant Governor at the same
time as the decision on the govern
orship.
A rollcall vote of the combined
House and Senate was expected to
settle the bitter controversy over
succession. which has torn Georgia
since death Of Eugene Talmadge 23
days ago.
Herman Talmadge has argued he
is entitled to legislative election to
his fathers term by virtue of an es-
timated TOO write-in votes cast by
Talmedge faithful as insurance" in
case his father died.
Mr.. Thompson, doctor of philos-
ophy and former educator, has con-
tended the constitution never con-
templated such alternative if Gov
ernor- elect died, and insists he
should become Acting Governor
pending the next general election in
1948. He would have succeeded
automatically had Mr.. Talmadge
lived to be inaugUrated.
