Newspaper Page TextPage Two THE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, OREGON Thursday, June 21,945' t LAnti-Strike Law 'Abolition Urged By Sen. Morse WASHINGTON, June 21 (UP) Sen. Wayne C. Morse, R Ore., urged at a war labor board hear- ng that labor and management 'join forces to abolish the Smilh- Connally anti-strike law at the earliest possible date." Morse said he had so advised the Los Angeles metal trades 'council (AFL), which has taken I a vote to strike if the WLB denies its demand for 11.8 per cent wage increase for ship repair workers. The higher wage for repair work now prevails in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle areas. I "The Smith-Connally act is so 'unsound and inimical to the best interests of labor and industry that I think the representatives of labor and management chould join forces to abolish it at the earliest possible date," Mors-a said Morse urged the WLB to ex. tend the 11.0 differential to, the Los Angeles area yards. He ac leused the federal agencies of "fecdine shiD repair work into Los Angeles out of all proportion to that fed Into other ports. ) "If we continue to let the gov ernment build up ship rcpuir .work in Los Angoles because of Slower wage rates, the government 'will be a party to a discrimipa- !' lion that ennnot be justified," Morse said. "We highly disap prove of the position the procure ment agencies have taken. Acting as spokesman for all of the Pacific coast senate delega tion, Morse said he was not plead ing a labor case but one of pub lic interest. A former WLB pub lic member, Morse said that it was the first time he had ap peared before the board in the role of pleader.
