LABOUR & PROFITS
STABILISING ACTION IN U.S.A.' APPROVED BY CONGRESS COMMITTEE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 30. By a vote of 13 to 12 today, the House of Representatives Naval Committee tabled a measure to limit war profits, extend the working week of forty hours and freeze the status quo of closed shops, which means that all this contentious legislation has been postponed pro tem. The tabling action was the climax to two months of stormy committee hearings on the profits—Labour issue, and was backed up by President Roosevelt’s message to Congress, that Labour legislation was unnecessary at the present time. Shortly before the adoption of the tabling motion, the chairman, Mr H. Vinson, said the action would mean that the Bills in question would be set aside for the remainder of the session.
