Compromise Manpower Bill Faces Senate Opposition
Washington reports the compromise manpower bill drew Senate opposition as War Mobilizer Byrnes could limit workers to essential plants. Senator O Mahoney declined to sign the conference report and warned the measure is dangerous. House members, including Rep Short, are expected to oppose in tomorrow’s session as conferees signed the report except O Mahoney. The bill grants broad powers to the war mobilization director, with court appeals the only recourse, and aims to curb labor strife among 100,000 coal miners.
