To Get Bill PROVIDING
For Strike Warning
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 30-The Mary
land Legislature will be asked to
pass law requiring pre-strike no.
tice of labor disputes.
/ Under bill approved by the Leg
islative Council, the Department OF
Labor and Industry would get warm
ing Of labor troubles in time to put
mediation machinery in motion be-
fore a strike could start A similar
principle already is applied in Vir-
ginia.
The measure would require both
company and workers to report i'm
mediately" to the Labor Depart
ment the existence Of any contro-
versy or dispute which may re-
suit in lockout or strike" 1t will
come before the General Assembly
convening here next week.
The proposal is one of several
council-indorsed bills to alter Mary
land labor, unemployment compen-
sation and child labor laws.
In addition, Todd motor vehicle
bills were approved, including re-
uuirementS for Semiannual auto in
spections and for a new rlght-turn
nand signal.
Rail Case Cited.
Joseph F. Didomenico, State COM
missioner of labor and industry,
says the labor disputes bill might
have averted a December strike on
the Baltimore g. Annapolis Rail-
road.
The new bill would authorize the
labor commissioner to hold elections
to determine the proper collective
bargaining representative when
there is any doubt on this point.
A child labor bill would revamp
what Mr.. Didomencio calls anti
quated" State laws by making them
conform with the Federal Fair La
Dor Standards Act and with State
school law effective next year, which
will require attendance Of children
until they are Is.
Working Age Put at IA.
Among other points, the bill sets
the minimum working age at IA and
raises to Is the minimum for work
during school hours, at night, in
factories and hazardous occupa-
tiCns and sets minimum of l0 Tor
girls in many occupations. 1t also
sets a minimum of 81 for working in
bars. 1t provides that no boy under
II or girl under 18 may sell news
papers or magazines in public places.
The Legislative Council also has
recommended changes in the unem-
pioyment compensation laws. Some
would result in higher benefits.
others would tighten requirements
for joblesS pay.
Legislative debate also is expected
over a perennial proposal to make
State prisoners do more work.
Chairman Willis r. Jores of a COM
mission on prisons says there has
been pressure from private indus
tries and labor unions to limit prison
labor on State-use projects
The Council also has approved a
bill to make Maryland hand signals
conform to those of other States.
