Ball Testifies On Labor Bills At Hearing Today In Washington
Senator Ball of Minnesota tells the Senate Labor Committee that government power over labor crisis should be limited and unions held to public accountability. Senator Murray of Montana testifies as a moderating voice. Schwellenbach is absent with a cold but prepared a 30 page statement. The 13 member panel begins a five week inquiry into labor questions, not strikes in essential services. A push for compulsory arbitration surfaces in the House, opposed by Ball and other Republicans. Ferguson of Michigan supports a compulsory arbitration system but work is incomplete.
