HICHLICHTS

WASHINGTON, (P)-A choice
of injunctions or seizure as a curb
in national emergency strikes con-
fronted the Senate today as it bat
tied over a labor bill.
Technically, five propos a
were up for a possible vote. But
what the Senators really were
trying to decide narrowed down
to these alternatives:
l. Continue specific government
power to get court injunctions, as
in the Taft-Hartley act. Labor is
solidly against this.
2. Avoid any mention of injunc-
tons but authorize the govern
ment TO seize an industry. This is
another way of authorizing an in
junction if it becomes necessary,
but is not nearly so distasteful to
labor leaders.
Number one is supported by
Senator Taft R.-Ohio) and other
Republicans. Number two by Sen
atOrs Douglas D.-Ill0, Aiken r.
VT and Lucas D.-IlIO, the Dem
oCrat leader.
