Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin and Senator Elbert D. Thomas of Utah have conducted investigations for this committee. The proposed legislation is the outcome of the 2 year investigation, which exposed the parts each of the items named above played in the efforts made by employers to stop unionization of workers. Whether the committee will be allowed to continue its work is still a matter of conjecture. Senator La Follette has stated that he will not be able to continue in the work, even if the committee receives another extension of time and funds. Senator Thomas has expressed willingness to continue with the important work of the committee, if the Senate charges him with that duty. Labor and liberal forces 'have exerted strong pressure to have the investigation continue, but unless President Roosevelt, or Senator La Follette, or Senator Thomas ask for funds necessary to do so, the Senate is likely to let the committees activities expire. By all means, the important work of this committee MUST be continued. strike-breaker- s, strike-breakin- g A COAL Save on Utahs Best Railroad Coal.

The Act affects all purchases by the government amounting to $10,000 or more. Importance of the order was seen in the fact that last year the government spent $63,000,000 for iron and steel products, amounting to 9 per cent of all government , contracts placed. Hits C. I. 0. Foes Bethlehem Steel, which has sold more material than any of the other firms to the government, has been a bitter foe of the SWOC. Only recently an intermediate report of the National Labor Relations Board accused it of violation of the Wagner Act, and called for dissolution of the corporations old company union. By its refusal to deal with the C. I. 0. steel workers organization, Bethlehem was paying wages almost 10 cents an hour less than its unionized competitors, and was therefore able to underbid them on Girdlers Republic many jobs.
