Committee Moves To Repeal Curb On Strikes In Missouri
Senate labor and industrial relations committee approved repeal of the 1947 act restricting strikes. The measure, introduced by Sen. Edwards Hogan, advances to the Senate floor after two hearings amid labor and management opposition. The law currently bars secondary boycotts and certain strikes, administered by the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, with advocates arguing it curbs disruptive actions and opponents urging repeal in line with constitutional mandates. Townships in Missouri face abolition, with 23 counties retaining township government and a Senate vote sending the bill to the House. Senator Frisby supported the measure. Senator Reid defended local control, noting many counties retain township status and urging residents to decide locally.

Warns Against Cities Expecting Funds From State
Sen Emery W Allison of Rolta warned that Missouri cities face tough times if they seek direct state aid. He cited bills to funnel funds to St Louis and argued such measures invite unchecked spending. An amendment to police salary laws would give St Louis board veto power over increases, but the plan failed 15 to 1. The pending bill would bracket police salaries, with top salaries about 1,000,000 more than now.
