Sit-down strikes shift focus from court to Senate action
Washington April 3 Sit-down strikes became the center of congressional attention as Byrnes pushed an amendment to bar miners from returning to company boards after written notice. Robinson sought to block and Bailey demanded a vote. The House Rules Committee approved a Dies resolution for a seven member special committee to probe all aspects of sit-down strikes with a vote planned next week. The Supreme Court shifted course on minimum wage laws with a 5-4 upholding Washington state law and Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage moratorium. Roberts switched to support the earlier New York ruling, influencing both sides of the debate.
