 WAGNER-WOLMAN BREAK
 This underlying difference of view has been straining relations between Wagner and Wolman practically from the start of the labor board. It came to a head on the long pending Weirton Steel company case. After several months of fruitless efforts to ef- feet an amicable settlement, Wagner, claimed the abor board should "crack down" on the de- liant corporation. He held that the government had strong case, that if the corporation was looking for court fight the thing to do was to meet it's chal- lenge.
 Wolman strongly disagreed. He did not consider the Weirton case 6 good test, argued that 1t was wiser at this time to settle, rather than risk a legal battle.
 But Wagner had his way. And Wolman quit-fOr 24 hours. When his resignation became known liberal and labor friends rcmOnstrated. They pointed out that with the labor board facing its most crucial tests his retire. ment would appear as if he were running away.
 Considerably cooled off, Vol man saw the light of day. Wag- ner personally asked him to withdraw the resignation and he -acquiesced. The storm was over flor the time being.
