Jones to Vote Fee Hartley Bill.
Word comes from Washington
that Hamilton Jones. Tenth dis
trict congressman, will cast his
vote in favor of the Hartley hill,
des gned to curb the activities of
Labor Unions throughout the lWk

stated there is a need for legisla
tion to prevent walkouts on a na
tional scale. Perhaps the Hart
ley bill will not be the remedy for
a condition that requires real hon
fct collective bargaining between
Management and Labor. Does the
Hartley bill guarantee such pro
cedure? If so, it may work.
