Patman Pushes Harsher Penalties for War Plant Strikes
Washington May 8 Rep Patman urged criminal penalties for those who conspire to delay production in war plants as Congress considers a Senate bill backing government seizure of strikebound plants. The bill, approved 63 to 16, penalizes instigating work stoppages in seized plants, with Patman proposing fines up to 5000 dollars or five years imprisonment. Green directs union groups in six states to resist new labor laws, saying counsel claims the laws violate constitutions. The measure also legalizes seizure of struck plants and tightens penalties for inciting strikes during government operation.
