Will Seek To Pass
Amended Truman
Labor Law
WASHINGTON. (JP) —Speaker
Rayburn announced today his
support of five emandments to the
administration labor bill and said
he believes they will assure pas
sage of the measure.
Rayburn told a news conference
the amendments are being drafted
by a group of House members in
cluding Southern Democrats. They
will be offered tomorrow when
the House resumes debate on la
bor legislation.
Briefly, he said, here’s what
they would do:
l. Give the President authority
to intervene, either by injunction
or plant seizure, in a threatened
strike involving the public wel
fare.
2. Make it “perfectly clear” that
there is to be freedom of speech on
t>oth sides in a labor controversy.
3. Require non-communist affi
davits to be made by leaders of
both labor and management.
4. Make certain that financial
reports of labor organizations are
available to members of the un
ions and perhaps to the public
generally.
5. Require that both sides in a
controversy must bargain “in good
faith.”
Many of the amendments are
similar to provisions of the Taft
Hartley law which President Tru
man wants repealed. None of them
is in the administration’s bill,
sponsored by chairman Lecinski
(D -Mich.) of the House labor com-!
truttee.

'Cannery Workers
Start Trek North
SEATTLE, (^)—The biggest air
lift to the northland, “Operation
Fish,” was under way this week
end as planes began hauling can
nery workers and fishermen to the
salmon-rich Bristol Bay area of
Alaska.
By June 20 more than a score
of daily flights will head from
Seattle to Naknek, Cold Bay and
i Kodiak. Walter Sharpe, salmon in
j dustry representative, said that
approximately 3,000 fishermen
will be flown to Alaska fishing
areas this spring.
i
He had no estimate on the num
ber of cannery workers who will
be transported north by air, but
said that 14 canneries — one less
than last year—will operate on the
Naknek and Evichak rivers.
j However, because of the off
year in the salmon cycle the can
neries will send out only 350 of
their 690 twin-prowed gill-net
boats. Fishing has been curtailed
| by the fish and wildlife service
due to the “off year.”
Despite the fishing limitations,
Sharpe expects the air lift to be
about the same size as last year,'
I
since Kodiak Island fishermen and I
many cannery workers formerly i
transported by boat will be flown
to Alaska for the first tim^
following a White House confer
ence at which labor legislation
was discussed. He did not say,
whether President Truman has
approved the amendments, but
the inference was that the chief
executive has.

The boy, Daryl Webley, wan
