Senate Nearing Vote
On Injunction Issue
In Labor Bill Fight
BY The Associated Press

A choice between injunctions on
seizure confronted the Senate to.
day as 1t entered the second round
of arguments over how to deal
with strikes that imperl the ma
tionai, health or safety.
While five proposals were vyine
for votes. what the Senators really
were trying to decide narrowed
down to these alternatives:
/. Continue specific Government
power to get court injunctions. al
in the Taft Hartley Act. Labor
unions are solidly against this.
2. Avoid any mention Of injunc.
tions but authorize the Govern.
ment to seize an industry. Thi,
is another way of authorizing ar
Injunction If 1t becomes necessary
but II Is not nearly so bad In
the eyes Of most labor leaders.
The big contest was expected
to be between two proposals which
draw the issues most clearly.
One. by Senator Taft. Repub.
lican. of Ohio and other Repub.
licans. would authorize injunc'
tions In so many words-anc
seizure, too. The other. by Sena-
tors Doublas. Democrat. Of Illinois
and Aiken. Republican of Yer.
mont would authorize only seizure
This $is supported by Senator
Majority Leader Lucas.
The other proposals include
one by Senator Ives. Republican
of New York, which provides fol
neither seizure nor injunctions. II
would rely on recommendations o1
an emergency board. plus possible
congressional action In the case
of work stoppages.
The showdown might come early
next week.
Consideration of national emer-
gency strikes began yesterday after
the Senate passed two more non
controversial amendments to the
Truman administrators labor
bill.
That bill. In addition to its
original purpose of repeating
Taft-Hartley and restoring an en-
larged version Of the 1885 Wagner
Act. now contains provisions for:
l. Nom Communist and non
Fascist oaths from union and COM
pany officers. 2. Financial re-
ports from unions and companies.
3. Keeping salaries Of National
Labor Relations Board members
at the present $4,000 a year in
stead of $17.5o0 as in the original
Truman bill. 4. Guaranteeing
"free speech" to labor and man
agement alike. s. Require both
unions and management to bar
gain In good faith.
Douglas Plan Gets Priority.
In the maneuvering. Senator
Douglas. O Senator for less than
six months. jockeyed the proposal
he's sponsoring into a position
where It Is scheduled to be voted
on first. Furthermore. If it loses
in that test. 1t will automatically
come up for another vote later.
Senator Douglas accomplished
this by offering the proposal twice
AS q "perfecting" amendment to
the Taft proposal. and again as
q "perfecting" amendment to the
Ives proposal.
He told the Republicans: "In
the language Of cards. I'm trying
to trump both your suits"
