Fail High Tribunal Test Legality of Indiana's compulsory arbitration labor law for utilities, sometimes termed the “anti-strike'” law, will not be affected directly by a U. S. Supreme Court decision invalidating a similar Wisconsin act. This was the concensus of attorneys and most members of the legislature today after a prelim-| inary study of the high court's ruling. However, the Indiana law might be placed in the same po-| sition as Wisconsin's law if a similar test case were taken to the high court from Indiana, attorneys said. | | Democratic Party leaders have {been trying to repeal the com-| pulsory arbitration utilities law here ever since it was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature in 1947. | In fact, both the 1948 and the! 1950 Democratic. state platforms contained pledges to repeal the law but attempts to kill it in the 1049 legislature failed. | Two Bills Pending
