NEW ANTI-STRIKE BILL TO BE ARGUED

Revised Connally Measure Approved by House Military Affairs Committee; Labor Leaders To Voice Protest.

Times Special WASHINGTON, May 14.—You'll be hearing loud and angry argument gbout the revised Connally anti-strikes-in-war-plants bill, soon coming up for debate in the house of representatives. : This bill, approved by a 21-to-0 vote of the house military affairs committee, bears little resemblance to the original Connally measure which passed the senate, 63 to 16, last week. Many of its provisions are lifted from the anti-strike bill sponsored by Rep. Howard Smith (D. Va.), which swept to house passage by a 2-to-1 majority four days before Pearl
