Labor Hill Fate In Gov't Hands TORONTO, Ont.—The Ontario Legislature Select Commit- tee on collective bargaining is now preparing its report for presentation to the provincial House after three weeks of hearings. Hon. James Clarke, chairman of the committee, intimated at the close of the hearings last week that the com- mittee’s findings would be drafted swiftly so that they could be brought down before the present legislative session adjourns.
