third day of bitte debate on the measure. He warne against revival of "anything tha looks like the old NRA," and cau tioned labor that it will be place in a "strait-jacket." "Is there any doubt in any one' mind that this measure is nothin more than another NRA?" shoute. Austin. "It contains that centra: ized power of fixing codes and lay down a strait-jacket on labor whicl will cause labor to realize that i can exercise its fundamental righ to work only so long as the gov ernment here at Washington tell it it can work." Says Labor Will Rue It Austin added that "like th NRA," the bill freezes effectuallj the opportunity for labor to sell it services. "And," he continued, "la bor will rue the day it was forcec into this position of statutory mo nopoly of its right to work."
