Mr. Halleck said the labor bill passed by the house would supplant “the present chaos in labor-man-agement relations.” “A small but noisy minority,” he said, “would have you believe that, in order to exist, unions must be free to engage in extortion, coercion, violence and other lawlessness and must be free to abuse employers, workers and the public. We deny this.”
