big club of the program The senate then sent the lation to the house but in quite different form than the other chamber whipped thru by a 306 to vote Just a week ago after listening to Mr Truman's personal plea for authority to draft those who strike when the government seizes an industry Besides this draft clause the senate also stripped from the measure a provision which would denied seniority rights to Strikers in seized industries and a section requiring payment of just compensation to plant owners whose property was taken over This left in the measure a vision arming the President with seizure authority similar to that he now has under the wartime act After seizure he could adjust wages and working conditions an authority the senate upheld by a 54 to 28 vote Union leaders also would be re- quired to take affirmative tion to call off a strike with penalties of fine or a year's imprisonment for violation of this section As approved by the senate the the tomey

senate had left them out on a limb by slashing off the section they had approved so overwhelmingly Mixed with this was a desire among many house members to have Mr Truman act on the Case officially went to him yesterday before they decide what to do finally about the emergency legislation The President has till midnight June 12 to veto or prove the latter or let it be- come law without his
