With Rivers and Walker, who
are ancient and steadfast enemies.
Senator Jones saw in the coalition
an unholy union that was destined
to spawn a monstrosity of some
sort, and so stated when the bills
were introduced, quoting from the
Rubyiat to emphasize his point.
The Senate in a lengthy discus
sion this afternoon regarding the
Collins bill providing for a refer
endum on the closed shop. This
measure was introduced only last
Saturday and has made a record
trip through the committee, appar
ently in a rush act to keep the la
bor groups from taking action on
the same.
The labor groups oppose th\e ref
erendum and in a wire to Collins,
the Ketchikan central labor coun
cil said it seemed more like a pro
duct of the Kremlin of Soviet Rus
sia than of the United States.
Rivers in opening speech on the
measure stated the closed shop was
not a matter to be decided by pop
ular vote of the people and suited
only to action by the National Con
gress and decision of the Supreme
Court.
The Senate by a tie vote this af
ternoon denied the labor commis
sioner and other labor group rep
resentatives who wished to be
heard on the subject the right to
speak before the session.
A bill which repeals the gross
gold tax and substitutes a gradu- j
ated net income tax for the same
will be up for final action tomor
row.
Engebreth has a new bill which
levies 48 cents per case tax on red
salmon, 24 on pinks making the
tax six times the amount of the
one levied for the present bi-enni- j
um. It would be operative only'
through the next bi-ennium.

CIO Lashes At
Labor Committee
WASHINGTON, </P) — Van A.
Bittner, chairman of the CIO or
ganizing committee, told House la
bor committee members today
their minds are closed and they
will "not give labor a fair break.”
Rep. McCowen, (R.-Ohio> asked:
“You mean our minds are closed
and we will not give labor a fair
break?”
“That’s right,” Bittner shot
back.
"That shows how narrow you
are.” McCowen commented.
"There are no labor men on this
committee." Bittner replied.
"Just a minute!” McCowen ex
claimed. “There are men here who
have done manual labor. I was a
member of two different unions.”
The exchange came after Bitt
ner had testified opposing any
changes in labor laws.
McCowen asked him if the Wag
ner Act was "perfect.” Bittner
said nothing is perfect. McCowen
asked him if, therefore, “this com
mittee of 25 men might possibly
arrive at some improvements in
the act.”
Bittner said, “Well, they might,
but I doubt it very much. I doubt
if the 25 men on this committee
who know very little about labor
relations could write a good labor
bill.”
Chairman Hartley <R.-N. J.>
broke in to demand whether Bitt
ner meant “this committee in par
ticular or any committee of 25
men.”
1 Bittner: "Twenty-five black
smiths would be a poor crowd to
deal with medical and health
problems. Twenty-five doctors
might do a good job.”
Hartley snapped, “I think the in
ference is plain.”
“The inference is that men who
know nothing about a proposition
shouldn’t deal with it. That’s not
an inference. That’s a statement,”
Bittner declared.

The closed shop referendum bill
passed the Senate this afternoon
by a 13-3 vote. All Second Division
Senators voted yes.
