Army in Strikes Approved in Draft Law Debate
Senate approved a draft law allowing government seizure of any plant, with operation by the state, and penalties including a 560,000 fine and three years in prison for the employer. The measure, aimed at mediation failures, would permit presidential deferral of the 281 draft-eligible. Secretary Ickes said no plan to take over Alcoa. Walter D. Fuller urged resolving defense strikes by policy reform and worker vote, not army seizure.
