Committee on Industrial Relations
held hearing in the House Cham
Der. The room was packed with

committee is considering the Van
AIKEN bill No. 60. Labor opposed it.
It attempts to outlaw the CLOSED
shop, limit picketing and make
labor unions subject to inspections
and liable to prosecution much the
same as Capital now is. What do
you think of this bill?

suggest $50,000,000 be taken from

25,OOO,00 from the current rev.
enues to pay for the administration
and other costs for 1948. They also
