andisWouId Remove
Many Small Concerns
From u. ). Labor Acts

Representative Lands of Indiana,
second ranking Republican member
of the House Labor Committee, pro-
posed today that thousands of small
businesses be taken from under Fed
eral labor laws and placed under
exclusive jurisdiction of the States.
While many members of Congress
were maintaining that the drive to
enact labor controls will go ahead
despite recent peace moves by labor
and industry, Representative Lands
said that when he testiies Wednes-
day before House committee he
will urge that his suggestion be en-
acted into law.
The House group starts hearings
that day on various strike control
measures.
No company should be considered
as engaged in interstate commerce
unless its productive effort as dis
tinguished from its sales or pur-
chases, is in two or more States,
Mr.. Lands declared. Such an in
depreciation, he explained, would
put many businesses entirely within
State labor law jurisdiction. 1t also
would remove many workers from
provisions of Federal statutes such
as the Wagner labor relation law
and the Wage Act.
In a bill introduced last month,
Mr.. Lands proposed that in every
Federal law governing employer
employe relations except the Rail-
way Labor Act, the term com
merce" should apply only to private
firms located physically in more
than one State, and to companies
subject to Federal license or regu-
lation, such as electric power firms.
The Lands bill also provides for
Government seizure and other steps
to prevent industry wide strikes.
House Labor Committee Chair
man Hartley, Republican, of New
Jersey was among several Congress
men who, today said the effort tc
enact labor controls has not slack
ened. He said he will proceed incon.
sidering labor legislation 'withou
regard to this temporary truce"
Il am certainly glad to see thi
comparative peace We are exper.
iencing now" Mr.. Hartley told {
reporter. But We have no way o.
telling how long it will last"

and Maryland continued today as
Virginia's Gov. Tuck authorized an
increase in Virginia patrols "to pro-
tect the rights of his States oyster
man"
Machine-gun bullets from Mary
land patrol craft have tipped over
oyster boats from Colonial Beach on

the river.

Maryland regulations governing the
taking of oysters from the Potomac
River.
Mr.. Lankford asserted that the
law would be enforced within the
Jurisdiction of Virginia. Additional
patrol boats would be acquired if
needed to carry out such policy, he
added.
Meanwhile, Coy. Tuck is on his
way to Miami for his first extended
vacation since assuming office. He
announced before starting that he
had received no reply from Gov.
Lane of Maryland about communi-
cation last Thursday setting forth
Virginia's position in the con-
