Anti-Violence Bill Debated in House in Picketline Proposal
In Little Rock on March 4 the House held a full debate on a major amendment to the Ablinton bill to make violence or threats of violence in picket lines a felony. Rep. James R. Campbell of Garland opposed the measure and argued that removing threats would weaken the statute. Supporters said they would back the bill if the amendment passed as the galleries crowded to witness the session. Campbell warned the amendment could be a dangerous step and the House rejected a debt-limiting motion while considering the proposal. A second amendment by Rep. O. B. Gites would extend the bill to cover employers, employees, strikers, and strike-breakers alike.
