By tho A,.oeiu,ed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 13.-The
Rev. Charles G. Webber, president
Of the Virginia State Industrial
Union Council. CIO, said in a radio
address last night, that passage Of
the two labor bills proposed by Gov
Tuck may help to bring on another
depression"
The two measures, which were te
come before the House Of Delegates
on second reading today, would de
away with strikes in public utilities
and outlaw the closed shop In intra-
state concerns.
Mr.. Webber, also chaplain to or.
ganized labor Of the Methodist
Church, declared that the bills. il
adopted and enforced, would en-.
danger the VERY existence Of or.
ganized labor in Virginia as an eff.
fectiye instrumentality for the com.
mon good Of all"
These bills give aid and comfort
mot to the poor and needy fol
whom Jesus came to preach the
gospel, but to the rich and powerful
who are more concerned about get.
ting excess profits and destroying
the labor movement than they art
in averting depression" Mr.. Web.
ber said.
Trade union members do moi
want to strike-all reports to the
contrary" Mr.. Webber continued
