Bill Aimed at Dual Walkouts Sweeps Senate Vote
Congress sent to President Roosevelt a measure to outlaw strikes in war plants run by the government and curb walkouts in privately owned plants. The Connally-Harriman bill, approved 55 to 22 in the Senate after eight hours of debate, would authorize government seizure of strike-threatened facilities and freeze labor conditions unless mutually agreed or ordered by the War Labor Board. The House had passed a similar version, and the White House decision on enactment hangs on the final conference report and presidential action.
