Senate approves Connally no strike bill in coal crisis
The Senate passed the Connally bill 63 to 16 to outlaw strikes in government operated plants and mines with a Wagner amendment allowing the War Labor board to subpoena witnesses and impose fines up to 19000 dollars or one year in prison. The chamber defeated a motion to send the measure to judiciary committee 52 to 37 and rejected Taft’s amendment to ban strikes in privately operated mines. President Lewis may face compelled appearances if the bill becomes law.

Treasurybacks Tax Forgiveness in House Bill Debate
