Urges Plant Seizure When Strike Menaces
Former War Labor Board chairman William H. Davis urged Congress to authorize government seizure of plants when a strike endangers health or safety. He criticized Taft-Hartley as too police-driven and proposed a plan involving an 80 day cooling period, potential government operation, and post settlement compensation. Davis testified before the Senate Labor Committee amid sharp questions from Republicans. Cumberland hospital reports a net income of $19,579 for the year ending Sept 30 1948 with total income of $70,317 and $378,813 for patient care.
