General Motors Head Hits Strike Abuses Labor Reform Plan Proposed By Wilson Washington. Feb. 5.—(VP)— Charles E. Wilson, president oi General Motors Corp., charged today that the privilege of striking has become "a means of aggres sion" against the national welfare. Testifying before the senate labor committee. Wilson said congress must write new labor laws to protect the government from the defiance of "pressure groups." He proposed a 10 point labor reform program, including a ban on industrywide bargaining and the < losed shop. Wilsoff spoke as the house labor I committee opened it* own hearing* on Republican atrlke-c-ontrol legislation. Rep. Gerald W. Landis. R, Ind , the first witness, said congress must wipe out the "inequalities, legal injustice* and damage" wrought by new deal labor law*. Discussing "abuse of the strike privilege.” Wilson told the senate group: "Our labor laws and the legist* the and judicial procedure* to bd followed must be clarified so that a situation like that which developed in the recent coal strike would not have to be resolved by the chance technical maneuver of ac- ! cuslug a labor leader of being in contempt of court. "Clearly no pressure group can be allowed to challenge the supreme power ot government." Initial witnesses before the house committee were house members who have introduced strike control bill*—Landis and Reps Clare K. Hoffman, R.. Mich., Francis Case. R.. 8. D.. and Ho ward W. Smith. D.. Va. Industry aud labor spokesmen will testify later. Charging that the national labor relation* board had "created industrial strife and unrest," Landis urged sweeping changes in the Wagner labor relation* act to equalize the responsibility of both ■lde* under collective bargaining. Under hi* bill, the NLRB could uol intervene lu a strike unle*s
