The Senate interstate commerce committee near agreement on railroad legislation supplementing the Adamson act. The bill would criminalize actions by workers who quit to disrupt operations, with fines or six months’ imprisonment, while excluding peaceful picketing. It preserves Clayton antitrust exemptions and grants the President authority to take only necessary railroad parts for military use, rejecting peaceful-emergency broadening. Labor leaders propose a joint board to investigate disputes instead of a strike ban.
