The furor over the strike poll proposal apparently made Smith relent from his stated ' opposition to more committee hearings on Taft-Hnrtley revision. Despite vigorous Democratic de mands for hearings on the Eisen hower proposals, Smith had held firm against them, contending all the pertinent ground had been cov ered in lengthy hearings last year. But alter committee Republi cans met behind closed doors yes terday, Smith told newsmen: "We will have to have hearings on the secret ballot issue." However, he said he wants to limit them "as far as possible." Continuing his onslaught, Mur ray charged that Smith's bill would 'in certain particulars . . bring about a result directly opposite to tnat wnich apparently the Presi dent said was what he wanted." Sen. Douglas (D-Ill). another la bor committee member, said the strike vote idea has "dangerous possibilities" and would extend the deadening hand of government compulsion ' over labor-management relations. Murray said in a statement "an other example of confusion" ir Smith's bill involves a presiden tial recommendation that "casual employment" Industries, such as building and construction, be al lowed to sign contracts with labor unions, requiring all employes to join tne union alter seven days, instead of the usual 30. "However, when his (Eisenhow er's) recommendation was incor porated in the Senate bill," he said, "we find no reference to the real crux of the problem which is whether state laws shall continue to override the uniform federal law on the subject of union se curity." The Taft-Hartley Act now legal izes contracts which require em ployes to join a union after 30 days on the Job. But state laws are given priority over the federal law in this connection. Murray claimed that failure of Smith's bill to take this federal state relationship into account, in effect, renders the seven-day union shop recommendation worthless. Actually, only a dozen or so states have laws forbidding the union shop.
