ABOLISH RAIL
LABOR BOARD
Labor Secretary Declares Board
Is Quasi-Govermenta1,
Partisan Institution
And Useless
(By Associated Press

ATHENS. Ohio, Oct. 14.-Secretarv Of
Labor Davis in a speech here tonight
advocated the abolition of the railroad
labor board. which he referred to as
quasi governmental, partisan institu-
tion," and the relegation to established
bureaus Of his own department of such
of the boards mediation and concilia-
ton functions as might be desirable for
the government 10 continue in the trans
pOrtation field.
The labor secretary said the railroad
labor board had demonstrated that it
is incapable of fulfilling the high hopes
of those who proposed and supported
it as d means of the industrial peace
on the railroads.
He added that another system Of set
tling railroad disputes should be adopted
to leave employers and employees to
"thresh out their differences free from
the hope or the fear that meddling quasi
officials would interfere to cast their lit
tie influence in the balance in favor Of
one side or the other"
Mr. Davis cited experiences during the
rail strike last summer, and cases pend
ing before the board at present as
reason for attacking it's functioning. The
board, he declared, was still struggling
with issues raised in the shopcraft strike

ployes.''
Retention Of the board as an arbtra-
ton agency, Mr.. Davis continued. served
| to increase the number of disputes and
generally to delay their settlement. The
substitute plan, in which the labor de-
. partment Cancellation would be offered
where desired in railroad disputes, the
| secretary said, would mark a step for
ward to taking the government out Of
| the railroad business" and would assist
decentralization of railroad labor trou-
bles and thus decrease danger of ma
tional strikes.
Mr.. Davis defended President Hard :
| ing's course during the recent coal
strike, declaring that conditions during

| ton lin stepping over the legal bounds
| Of authority to bring it to an end.
