Solons Adopt Labor Check In Alabama
Alabama legislators moved to outlaw wildcat strikes and create a state labor department. The bill passed the house 74 to 19 after senate approval, requires unions to file financial statements, and authorizes appointing a labor director to handle disputes and promote settlements. Governor Sparks supported signing either labor measure. Other actions included liquor referendum debates, university funding, and tax revenue allocations. American farmers forecast flaxseed on six million acres in 1943 and soldiers receive about 40 cups of coffee monthly.
