WASHINGTON, May 2.-tR- The Senate today voted into it's pending labor disputes legislation an amendment prohibiting union coercion of workers.
 Adoption of the proposal re- stored provision which had been knocked out by the Senate Lator committee over the objection Of Chairman Taft (R-Ohio).
 Sponsored by Senators Ball (R- MinD Byrd CD-Va), George (D- Va and Smith tR-NO, the amendment makes it an unfair labor practice for a union or it's agents to restrain or coerca" em- ployees in the exercise of their rights to self organization and to bargain through representatives of their own choosing.
 Employers already are prohib- ited from such coercion.

 OF SOLIDARITY

NEW YORK. May 2.-tR-Presi- dent Miguel Aleman of Mexico de- clared today that strengthening of western hemispheric solidarity is the first step we must take in the furtherance of the ends pursued by the United Nations.
 Speaking from City Hall where Mayor William ODwyer conferred honorary citizenship of New York City upon him following parade through rain-swept downtown Man haitian streets, President Aleman asserted
 "Mexico's contributions to the work of che United Nations has been heartfelt and generous. But Mexico believes that the first step we must take in the furtherance oi the ends pursued by that organ ization is to uphold hemispheric solidarity strengthening the ties that bind the American Republic together"
 Stressing Mexico's kinship with the United States, he said, "let us remember that our countries are. united by Che similarity of their Institutions and their com mon love of freedom rather than by their geographical proximity and parallel histories"

HOUSE PASSES l00pH0LE BILL,
 RENT CONTROLS

WASHINGTON, May 2.-IR- A House passed bill extending rent
 control, but letting each city, town and county decides whether to take it or leave it, was tossed to the Senate today.
 The local option feature got a friendly reception there.
 The House approved the mea- sure 204 to 182 last night, after beating down attempts to require a 10 percent rent increase where ceilings now apply.
 Modified in several ways that are not to President Truman's liking, the bill provides continu ation of controls from June 30, to December 31, with the Presi dent given authority to continue them by proclamation to March 31, 1948, if he deems this advis- able. MT. Truman asked for ex tension of control in their present form until June 30, 1948.
 It authorizes landlords to raise rents IS percent in return for two-year lease if the tenant agrees It exempts from ceilings all new houses and apartments and any that have not been rented in the last two years.
 It retains veterans preferences to buy or rent new homes and continues government mortgage in- surance on new homes up to 90 percent of value.
