Senate Passes Labor Bill
By Tremend Gus Majority;
State Faces Worker Crisis
Measure Goes
To President
Chamber Vote Ex-
ceeds Necessary Margin
For Veto Over Ride

WASHINGTON, June s -
(AP)-A history-making bill
to curb strikes and unions
passed Congress tonight with
tremendous victory margin
enough to nullify any
Presidential veto unless there
is a change of sentiment.
By Sd to II, the Senate ap-
proved the measure and put
it up to President Truman to
sign or veto in the next ten
days. The House had passed
It 800 to 70 two days ago.
The margin of approval on
both these votes was far bet
er than two-thirds of those
voting, and that is the ma
jority that would be required
to override a Presidential veto.
But opponents of the measure
hope that a strong veto message
by Mr.. Truman might win over
the votes of some who approved
it originally.
Seventeen Democrats Joined to-
night with 81 Republicans in IA
vor of the bill. Only two Repub-
llcans, LANCER of North Dakota
and Morse of Oregon, were in the
may" list with IS Democrats.
Just before the final vote, Demo-
cratic Leader Barley (Ky.) told
the Senate that while he could not
support the bill, II am not speak
ing for the President" He added:
II don't know what his attitude
will be. I do know he will have
the bill carefully analysed and then
act as his conscience, dictates, Re-
CARELESS of the consequences, poll
teal or otherwise, to him"
Opposed Labor
The bill goes tar beyond the
labor legislation program econ
mended by Mr.. Truman in his
state of the union message to
Congress last January.
Bitterly opposed by labor union
leaders, but described by it's spon-
sors as an incentive to production
and a balancing wheel for labor
management relations, the bill:
1. Permits the government to
get 8o-day court injunctions against
national paralysis" strikes, such
as a railroad or coal mine tie-up.
Z. Outlaws the closed shop. in

FIST FIGHTS BRING
POLICE RESERVES TO
HOUSEWIVES MEET

LONDON. June 6 -(P)- Fist
fights, Paintings, screaming and a
call for police reserves climaxed
a heated meeting of some 5000
women of the British Housewives
league at Royal Albert hall to-
night to protest food rationing and
other governmental controls.
About a thousand men were scat
tered through the vast hall, and
they joined in the clamor as heck
lers in the audience, some of them
admitting they were Communists
and others loudly shouting the slo-
gans of the labor government, tried
to break up the meeting.
The Housewives league, which
labor party leaders say is a con-
servative party offshoot, met to
protest about short food rations,
lack Of coal. bad transportation
and the shortage Of homes.

Federal Narcotic Agents
Find War Drug Sale.
In Illegal Channels

BALTIMORE, June s -(PH
Syretts filled with morphine, used
by The armed forces to relieve
casualties, are being discovered in
illegal channels, Boyd M. Martin.
federal narcotics agent for Balti-
more, said today.
Testifying at the trial Of a 49,
year-old seaman charged with il
legal possession and sale of Sy-
retts, Martin declared the abuse
of the instruments was made pos
sible through failure of ships
masters to turn them in to the
government as directed.
The defendant, Joseph William
Threwitts, of Littleton, S. c.,
pleaded guilty to the charge.
Martin contended almost anyone
could obtain the Syretts off de-
modified warships now anchored
IN the James river. The instru-
ments were part of regular medi-
cal equipment aboard war vessels
during the hostilities.
Worked On Ship
The narcotics agent told the
court Threewitts had worked on a
vessel taken over and recondition-
ed by an independent operator
and had probably obtained the Sy-
retts on the ship.
Suggesting probation for the ac-
cused, Martin said T~hreewitts
doesn't know how to sell dope.
Narcotics operators don't operate
as dumb as ne did"
Federal Judge William c. Cole
man ordered Threewitts to pay n
$500 fine. He imposed no other
sentence, placing him on proba-
ton for two years.

Instead of following the line sug-

the governments which are seeking
to qualify for American assistance

Not a single country so far has

House or the Senate.
A case history in point-particu-
larly 80 now that great sections OF
the Midwest are suffering from a
gasoline shortage-is found in the
action Of the Senate on the Anglo
American oil treaty. Senator Con-
nally of Texas was the chairman OF
the Foreign Relations Committee
when this treaty, designed to insure
American access to Middle Eastern
Oil, was first negotiated. That was
in 1914.
This agreement might have been
given effect by presidential procla-
nation, but Senator Connally per-
emptorily demanded that 1t be sent
to him. Without consulting Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Hull and
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
Long of the State Department
meekly complied. Then, instead OF
submitting the treaty to his COM
mittee, Senator Connally announced
to the press that it would never be
adopted. Subsequently, the Presi-
dent withdrew the treaty "for fur
ther consideration" There followed
renewed negotiations with the Brit
ish, this time in London. Almost two
years ago a substitute treaty was
signed which met every objection
that had been raised by certain
American oil interests. AS chair
man of the American delegation,
I brought that treaty back and
handed it to President Truman,
who promptly sent it to the Senate.
It Is still there.
So long as Senator Connally was
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, he never even laid this

Of Senator Connally, took a walk
out powder" although at the end
of the hearing he did send a favor
ing cablegram from Geneva, Swift
zerland. In the end, over the oppo-
sition of Senator Connally and the
four high-priced lawyers of Mr..
Sinclair, the Foreign Relations
Committee recommended that the
treaty be adopted.
BY this time it was so late in
the session that there was no pos
sibility of bringing the treaty be-
fore the Senate for vote. It can
not be reached now before the next
session that begins in January.
Even If it is adopted then, it will
have been about three and a half
years after the treaty was placed
in the hands of Senator Connally,
not as an individual Senator whose
instincts are primarily political,
but as a representative of the whole
people and as an official of the
Senate itself.
This incident illustrates again
the disposition Of a certain type
of public official to misuse and
abuse power. Senator Connally
usurped the right of the Senate to
pass upon treaties. This was neither
constitutional nor representative
government. In the light OF the
present oil shortage, it also appears
to have been poor judgment.
