CasheI Objects to Postponing of Labor BiIIs-Would Stage Sit-Down Strike

JUNEAU R - The Chairman of the House Commerce and Labor Committee served notice to the lower chamber Monday that he would stage a sit-doWn strike of his own unless labor bills are judged on their own merits"
 The chairman. Rep. Frank E. Cashel, said he objected to the postponement of action until the next legislative session of four labor bills, including two which deal with the state minimum wage and overtime extensions.
 The bills, which had been the subject of hot debate late last week, were sent to the Rules Com mittee to be held until next Janu- ary for study.
 "I can't see any reason in haV- ing committee meetings to study and report on these bills only to have them scuttled by anti-labor factions m the House, Sald Cashel.
 House Speaker Taylor said that he did not believe it was within Cashels province to break off consideration of bills assigned to his committee.
 "I take it you are speaking for yourself personally" Taylor told Cashel
 eff this is a report of the ma jority of your committee, the bills you have should be turned back to the House Clerk for re-assign- ment to other committees"
 Cashel said he would not object to further committee work if he could be assured that the bills would be considered individually
