Senate vasses union bill
WASHINGTON—The Senate last night passed a long-disputed bill greatly broadening the authority of building trades unions to pick at construction sites
The 32-45 vote appeared virtually to end the 25-year controversy in Congress over the legislation, which would allow unions to employ a more constructive presence at the ballot box. (No party has yet withdrawn)
The measure was sent back to the House for an expected conference in December after the congressional Thanksgiving recusa. There are only minor differences.
President Ford has said he will sign both proposals if they reach him at the same time.
Tied to the bill is a second major provision to set up new machinery to try to bring quicker and less inflationary settlement of labor disputes in the construction industry.

Employes' charges viewed as committee begins study
By BRUCE SPENCE
A special committee established to investigate city government agreed last night in a closed session to accept procedural guidelines set by the Lawrence City Commission but failed to elect a chairman as had been planned.
According to Commissioner Marieine Argersinger, one of the commission representatives on the committee, the group also examined in detail each of 24 charges that had been leveled by the United Nations Human Rights Organization (UPEAEL). The charges alleged failures of city management to improve the working conditions of city employees.
The special committee, consisting of two commissioners, two city employees and two citizens chosen at large, also will investigate charges that the city management has failed to account for use of the one-half per cent city sales tax.
Assistant City Manager Mike Wildgen said yesterday that the committee was allowed to meet in a closed session because the committee would be limited to recommending policy to the city commission.
Argersinger said the committee would divide into two three-man teams and visit city departments Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
She said the committee would meet as a whole probably Dec. 5 or 6 to combine the plans.
There have been some questions on the guidelines set down by the city commission, she said, but the guidelines were approved without any problems.
The accepted guidelines establish that the investigative committee will :
Meet and formulate rules, select a chairman and keep minutes.
Clearly define all points of investigation and develop debriefings outlined in the IEP.
- Call witnesses rather than permit objects become involved in the investigation.
—Route all requests for information or witnesses through the city manager so work assignments can be adjusted and information obtained.
—Notify the city manager of meetings to allow for work assignment changes. City employees on the committee will be excused unless they are otherwise when the committee is meeting as a group.
Set a time limit for the committee to function and make a report (Jason, 1, 1976).
—Permit both majority and minority reports.
-Investigate specific charges and not commend recognition of employees'劈
—Recognize that its function is to recommend policy changes and make suggestions to the commission, not mediate disputes. (We will work as a team to be forwarded to the full city commission.)
Submit the committee's report. The city manager and his staff will be given an opportunity to respond to all suggestions made by the committee.
—Be allowed to work in separate groups of two three-man teams to expedite the investigative process and combine their findings as a committee.

The Colonists won the Revolutionary War and brought to America to political emancipation of Man but that is not enough. Man lives by economics and not by politics. For thousands of years Man has been trying to escape the economic clutches of his predatory fellowmen—but with little success. The real battle, which will be for the economic emancipation of Man, is yet to come. I offer a hundred dollar reward to anyone who can tell how we can bring to America the economic emancipation of man without turning to physical violence or returning to political tyranny.
