BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-Amend-
ments to the Esch-Cummins transpOr-
tation law to discontinue the Rail
road Labor Board and substitute a
labor section of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is one of the recon-
mendations recently made by Presi-
dent Harding which Congress intends
to ignore for this session.
There is a considerable movement
in Congress not only to destroy the
Railroad Labor Board but also to
amend other important sections Of the
transportation law.
There is so much of this sentiment
that members of the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee are
fearful to make an attempt during the
remaining two months. Committee
members say If they start amending
the law in any particular it will i'm
mediately open the way for many and
sweeping amendments Regardless OF
whether the amendments are needed,
committee members say there is not
sufficient time at this session to con-
duct proper hearings and then enact
the legislation.
Therefore" a committeeman ex-
planned, we have decided to let the
ienure subject wait until the next
Congress"
