SEN. HOEY SEES STRONG MEASURE TO CURB STRIKES

Washington, May 13 - Senator Clyde R. Hoey charged the U. S. Senate with being "open to criticism" for its failure to pass strike-curbing labor legislation weeks ago.

The Tar Heel Senator predicted, though, that the Senate will in the near future pass "a very strong law -much stronger than it would have been if enacted before the coal strike."

Senator Hoey voiced the opinion that the Senate should have passed the Case bill, and because of its failure he said the body laid itself open to criticism.

The delay will have the good effect of forcing strike-restrictive legislation, Hoey said.

"I think it is obvious this coal strike has converted many Senators to the view that labor unions must be curbed-strongly curbed-and because of that I think we are undoubtedly going to get a strong bill," Hoey concluded.
