The House of Commons voted this morning to give the labor government of Prime Minister Attlee almost unlimited powers over labor and industry. The vote a light one WAS 178 to 63. However, the small vote does not indicate lack of interest in the bitterly contested measure. The session was long one. It lasted for 17 hours, and many weary members of parliament knowing full well that the government overwhelming majority was sure to carry the vote--had gone home.

The bill, designed to give the labor government all the powers it needs to pull Britain away from the edge of bankruptcy, now goes to the House of Lords. There it faces some possibility of being modified by amendments. The conservative party opposition, led by former Prime sition, led by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, failed in its determined tries to amend the measure in Commons. The labor party steamroller was too much. All but two amendments were voted down.

However, the bill to support the so-called second battle of Britain did not meet with the full support of all members of the labor party. Several of them sided with Churchill's claim that the measure is too sweeping for peacetime. But Herbert Morrison, labor's leader in Commons, and Attorney-General Sir Hartley Shawcross, had sharp answers to all critical attempts to cut the scope of the bill. They insisted the government must have wide powers in its economic battle. CITIZENS MUST OBSERVE FIRE LAWS, SAYS POLICE CHIEF warning comes from Chief of Police Walter Montgomery to the effect that unless local citizens stop interfering with the fire department, arrests are going to be made, regardless of who is guilty of breaking city regulations concerning following the fire truck.

Chief Montgomery expresses regret that such 8 warning is necessary, but feels it his duty to stop an increasing serious menace. Firemen have been plagued more than ever recently. by drivers who follow the truck to a fire and park in such manner as to seriously hamper their efforts to get the fire under control before it reaches dangerous proportions. The city laws prohibit all traffic within a block of a fire, but these thoughtless fire enthusiasts rush straight up to the scene of action, leave their cars out in the middle of the street or anywhere handy and rush over to the fire as if they were members of the fire department. Then they proceed to stand squarely In the way of the firemen, not only hampering their efforts but endangering their persons well.

This must stop, Chief Montgomery says, and henceforth persons violating the fire laws will be arrested the same as any other transgressor.
