Second Battle
OF Britain Bill
.PassesCorllnons
UNDER ITS PROVISIONS. GOV
EMINENT MAY DETERMINE
TYPE OF WORK BRITON rs
TO DO
(By The Associated PressD


LONDON, Aug. 12-BritOns are
girding themselves for the "Sec-
ond Battle of Britain, as a bill
to give the government almost
unlimited power over employer
and employee passed the House of
| Commons today by vote of 178
to So.
The vote was light because
many members of Commons had
! left for home, as the session con-
tinued fOl hour after hour. The
measure was debated II hours
before it was brought to a vote.
Former Prime Minister Winston
Churchill made several attempts
to have the bill amended, but
failed every time, except on two
IminOr matters which does not de
crease the strength of the bill,
which was sent to the House of
Lords for action. 1t was said that
the lords probably would pass
jseveral amendments.
Under the bill, the government
will have the power to direct d
workman in the. kind of work he
should do, and can close up some
industries, which depend on ex-
IpOrtS for their existence, by a
provision in the bill that gives
the government power to deterIn-
inc what type of goods should or
should not be imported.
