Strike Bill Held By Committee
Washington June 6 President Truman's emergency strike control bill moves toward House Rules Committee under a primary week agreement. If an objecting member blocks, the bill goes to the Rules panel, with options to seek a compromise in a Senate-House committee or to accept the Senate version and send it to the White House. House leaders expect final passage of the modified Senate measure. Opponents say the bill would let the president seize essential strike bound industries and curtail workers' rights, while lacking the draft authority Truman asked. Some expect a veto on the Case labor disputes bill.
