Republicans® and Democrats alike said John L. Lewis’ order cending his miners back tc the pits until April 1 puts pressure on Congress to act swiftly if it is to {ind a solution for disputes in such ossential industries as coal, steel, oil and transportation. { president Truman, himself eager for a legislative barrier to future labor crises despite his victory over Lewis, assigned Clark M. Clifford, his special counsel, to the (ask of drafting administration re commendations to Congress. { Democratic legislators generallyl indicated they will wait so: the White House proposals before tak-‘ ing any action on their own. 1 Republican leaders on the other hand reported strong sentiment for a compulsory arbitration law that would forbid strikes in any dispute affecting the public wel fare. New Bill A bill providing for this has been whipped into shape for speedy introduction in the new Congress, one top GOP lawmaker declared. The arbitration bill would set up machinery for rapid federal intervention to prevent a shut down affecting utilities, trans portation or commodities “essen tial to public health or safety.” With coal output gradually re turning to its normal figure of 2,200,000 tons a day, thera were these hangovers from the 17-day bituminous shutdown: i. The Supreme court not only agreed to step into the Lewis case itself but decided to rule as well on another background issue in the coal dispute—the unionizaticn of foremen., p While the current case involves only a group of Packard Motor Company supervisors, the funda mental question is one in which Lewis is vitally interested: whether| foremen are included in the; Wagner act’s guarantee to workers of the right to join unions and bargain collectively.

The 'unique action as based on a contention that union member ships are a form of securities and that Virginia law prohibits their sale except under Corporation Commission approval. 3. Government economists speculated that it might take as long as two months or longer for production to bounce back to pre strike levels. Arbitration Bill The Republican-backed com pulsory arbitration bill as des cribed by a party leader proposes creation of an Independent Labor Disputes Conciliation Administra tion. Appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, this body would take over functions of the existing Labor Depariment conciliation service. Upon a declaration by the Pre sident, or by the governors of'at least two states, that a dispute threatens to harm the Public Wel fare, the Attorney General could obtain a court injunction against a strike or other work stoppage while the settlement machinery is set in motion.

Later on in the morning, the store became a Red Cross sta tion, principally for food. and coffee for firefighters. Stafford said he “absolutely” would not appear in court against Hardy.
