Public Favors Regulation of Labor Unions If it is true, as some neonle claim, that the force of public opinion ultimately decides major public controversies, then organized labor in the United States may be in for a rough time. The U.S. public is in favor of labor unions and in previous polls has siown sympathy for increased wages.

But the public has grown increasingly Among the principal ac tions favored by the public are the following: 1. A law to prohibit "feather bedding" or make work practices on the part of unions, 2. A cooling off period before any strike ran be called, with Investigation mnde of the Issues during the waiting period. 3. Compulsory arbitration of labor disputes.

4. Calling off all strikes and lockouts for a period of one year, as proposed by Bernard Barurh. 5. A law prohibiting all strikes In public utilities, such as gas. electric, telephone? and local transportation companies.

6. Drafting strikers Into fie army If they are striking against the government A first ciieok of sentiment across the nation on this Issue, conducted by telegraph earlier In the week, found 53 percent in favor of the draft proposal, 38 percent opposed, and 9 percent undecided. The first chance which the public as a whole, will have to manifest its views on situation will be in the eluded hS rArrhu elet.n. He No. 112; St.
