President William P. Witherow, NAM, told the House Naval Affairs Committee that the closed shop reduces war production and urged no new agreements during the war while allowing existing ones to continue. He supported suspending the 40 hour week and limiting war profits to six percent as part of the Smith bill. New Mexico mining reported nearly 37 million dollars in minerals and coal output for the year ending Oct 31, up about 17 percent.
