Labor Measures May Precipitate Clash In Congress
Edward United Press reports three labor and related bills loom over Congress as House leaders push three measures amid pressure from labor groups and administration allies. The House pursues railroad labor bills and a general labor dispute plan while the Senate approves a silver bill aligned with the House. A bonus bill was defeated in a surprise move, and a rider to the silver measure postponed debate on the payoff. The principal tax change would exempt 50 percent of profits from hedged industrial stocks.
