The House gave final approval late
today to the compromise labor
union bill and sent it to the SEN
ate. The vote was?
The Senate is expected to pass
the legislation tomorrow and send
it to the White House where It's
fate is uncertain.
Some administration leaders have
urged President Truman to veto
the bill, but its supporters claim
they have enough votes to make
the measure law even if he should
refuse to sign it.
Before passing the measure on a
roll call vote the House refused
a last-minute effort of opponents OF
the measure to send it back to the
Senate-House Conference on
standing vote, 246 to SIS.
The bill would place numerous
restrictions on unions and their
leaders.

Although the bills hackers are
sure it will become law whatever
President Truman does, he Is lac
ing one of the most momentous de-
cisions of his career because OF its
|possible effects on the 1913 cleo
tons.
Advocates and opponents OF a
veto are building up pressure on
the White House, but the PRESS
dent remains silent on his 1nten-
tons.
In today's hot debate, House sup
porters of the measure said 1t Is a
means of meeting John l.. Lewis
"face to face" and Of avoiding
economic chaos"
Opponents denounced it as "an
evil thing" turned out by labor

last minute try to mottle the bill
up again in a Senate-House com
mittee that put it in compromise
form. He admitted he was whip
ped before he started.
Some Provisions
Some major provisions Of the
bill, subject of weeks of hot con-
troversy between hackers and op-
ponents, would:
