 Powers Granted
 The new scheme empowers Re- gional Compliance Directors to ad- just cases and those failing of ad- justment will be referred to the Council headed by the MIRA liti- gation attorney and having two other members, one for industry and one for labor.
 To Get Settlements
 The Regional Councils will have full power over cases dealing with wages of labor and hours and may refer such cases directly to Dis trict Attorneys for court action without going to Washingon.
 Collective Bargaining
 Collective bargaining cases will remain as before with the Labor Relations boards.
 Regional Councils will also in- terest themselves in trade prac- tice cases.
 Object Sought
 Among the objects of the new organization is to expedite com- pliance and keep such cases from cluttering up the courts. One of ficial said MIRA does not want to clog the courts as Prohibition did"
