Secretary Os Labor Lashes Labor Bills Says Bills Would Impede Labor Peace Washington. Jan. 28 — (VP) — Secretary of labor l«ewis B. Schwellenbach charged today that the major strike-control bill* backed by Republican* would actually impede labor peace and throw the nation Into a period of "InduHtrlal cliao*." Hl* attack, and e*pe< ially hl* criticism of the OOP's I Uli-Taft-Smith bill, indicated clearly that the administration and the Republican congress still are far apart on labor legislation. Testifying lieforo th* senate labor committee, Schwellenbach found little to praise and much to criticize in the B-T S bill, which carries the tentative endorsement of Republican senateleader*. He also lanhed out at separate measures by Sen. Joseph 11. Bali. R. Minn., to outlaw the closed shop and Industrywide bargaining. "If the congress wants to start out deliberately to create Industrial strife for a period of aliout six months. It could choose no belter course than this," Schwellenbach said of the anti-closed shop bill. — —o— — —— ' Theie are 711 fence poets on the average Wisconsin dairy farm, approximately five jMists per acre.

He *aid he doubted that the selfstyled rebels would hinder the hroad administration program and affirmed his faith in complete party loyalty. However, the junior legislators in the lower house reportedly had organized /themselves to oppose the so-called whip-cracking tactics of the GOP legislative policy < omrnittee.
