The band is particularly proud to

both the firemen and the bandsmen

A ctiOn On Bonus Bill
w as Expected; How
ever, Labor Bill Was
Thought Dead; Will
Vote On Bonus Tues
day, July 19.

Governor Carvel late Wednesday
afternoon of this week signed the
Senate duplicate of the House re-
pealer for the states labor rela-
tions act, indicating that he re-
CARDS the copy as legal.
In move as surprising as any of
those that occasionally started the
115th General Assembly and in the
presence of a group of labor rep
resentatives the Governor signed
the measure at ten minutes to six
He said, as he put his name on
the bill, that he was completing the
pledge made by the Democratic
Party to repeal House Bill 212.
The Governor also signed the
bonus referendum measure, auto
matically fixing the date for the
vote on Tuesday, July 10, and he
approved the measure creating a
1O-member Water Pollution ConN.
mission.
Challenge Expected
But his action in approving the
labor law repeater Overshadowed
the other activities of the day in
the executive office because it had
been thought that the bill was dead
and because of the likelihood that
this will be heavily challenged by
proponents of the law.
There had been no advance nc
! tice outside of a limited labor cir
Gle that the Governor would sign
the repeater. There had been nc
indication, in fact, that the dupli-
cate had been delivered to him.
The duplicate passed by the Sen
ate on May 90 had not been signed
1 in the presence of the members OF
the House by Speaker Harvey H
Lawson as is required by a rule oi
the House. Mr.. Lawson confirmed
this from his Millsboro home Wed.
nesday night
Whether Lieut.. Gov. Alexis l
dupont Bayard, presiding in the
Senate, had signed the duplicate
before the session ended could no
be learned because Mr.. Bayard i:
away on vacation There was M
record of his signing it during tn,
session,
The last word generally on tn
measure came while the Legislative
conferees, representing the Hous
and Senate and the two major par
tise, were in session toward the ent
of May working out the schedule o
bills for passage.
This word, from a Democratic
leader, was that the bill lis dead
and will rest where it is"
One significant reaction was dis
closed last night when the Della
ware Region of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations announce
that "a complaint for a declarator,
judgment and for an interlOcutor
and permanent Injunction. filed b.
the Congress and others, ha
been withdrawn and ordered dis
missed by the CIO."
