Chance for new labor bill passage in House
Washington May 7 Rep Sims says there is an excellent chance the House will pass a new version of the compromise Democratic labor bill within a month. The proposed bill may include plant seizure and injunctions in national emergency disputes, contrasting with earlier versions.

In other notes a local fire company awaits a meeting and Lutheran church events announce catechism classes and a youth group launch.
