Assembly kills bill requiring union financial statements
Labor unions secured a key victory as Wisconsin Assembly rejects a bill forcing unions to file annual detailed financial reports with the secretary of state. The 76 to 17 vote halted the measure, which aimed to reveal dues, fines, officer pay, and expenditures amid union funding concerns. The Senate later approved a cooperative medical care bill after a brief explanation.

Hoover urges unshackling former enemy nations for world recovery
Herbert Hoover told reporters after a House subcommittee hearing that the industry of former enemy nations must be unshackled and predicted world economic recovery could come in two or three years if Russia and France cooperate. He discussed a private study on relief capacity and urged more action to curb black market food trafficking while defending a $725 million civilian relief fund for Germany, Korea, and Japan administered by the War Department. He said a separate peace with Germany and Japan might not violate international terms if others fail to honor theirs.
