What Jurisdiction has the Labor
Relations Board?
The board is empowered to prevent
unfair labor practices affecting COM
meroe" and to investigate questions
affecting commerce" concerning rep
sesentation of employees
What are unfair practices under
the law?
For an employer to interfere with
employees in the exercise of the collec-
tive bargaining rights guaranteed, to
dominate or interfere with formation
or administration of union or tc
contribute to its support, to discrimi-
nate among employees because of union
membership, to encourage or discour-
age membership in any labor organi-
zation, to discriminate because an
employe gave testimony under the act
e. to refuse to bargain collectively.
Does the law define unfair practices
by labor?
No the restrictions are all on en-
ployers.
Affect on Commerce.
How is affecting commerce" de-
fined?
To mean 'in commerce, or burden
ing or obstructing commerce or the
free flow of commerce, or having led
to or tending to lead to a labor dis
pute burdening or obstructing COM
merce or the free flow of commerce.
What effect has the Supreme Court
action had on work of the board?
The court upheld the boards as
sumption of jurisdiction over five en-
ployers. The juriSdictional lines drawn
in those cases are similar to those in
other cases in which the board has
rendered decisions. The board expects
compliance by the 50 employers who
have been ordered to cease unfair
practices. A substantial part of the
present work is to move for compliance
either in appeals courts, if the cases
have rea ched those courts, or by direct
approach to the employers.
Has the court action increased the
number of appeals to the board?
MORE requests Tor Data.
Appeals normally are made through
the regional directors. There have
been general indications Of an in
crease, but the full effect will not be
known for weeks. There has been a
sharp increase in requests for infor-
nation, however, most of them from
employers.
Has the board been able to supply
requested information?
Yes, the boards staff is small, but
has SO far met the demand. On ques-
tions of policy, however, the board
reminds inQuirers it is quasi-judicial
body and so faces difficulties when
asked such questions without having
particular set Of facts to consider
Employers must seek guidance in
precedents set by board decisions.
Does the board originate cases?
No 1t acts only on sworn charges of
violations.
Can an employer ask the board to
call an election to ascertain the true
strength of bargaining group?
The board regulations say petition
Tor an election may be filed by any
employe or any person or labor organi-
cation acting on his behalf" No cleo
ton has ever been ordered at the
request of an employer.

Excellent MARK
GIVEN D. C. RESERVE
Results of Last Annual Inspec.
tion Announced to Local
Unit.

Excellent" was the laconic way in
which the United States Naval Re-
serve Inspection Board expressed its
general opinion Of the way In which
the 1st Battalion, United States Naval
Reserves in the District of Columbia,
passed through its last annual tests
before these examiners. But to the
Naval Reservists, trained in the terse
language of the service, 1t meant
the superlative of superlatives. 1t is
the one word describing the work of
the battalion which the local organiza-
tion has been working to attain for
several years.
The local battalion was one Of sew
eral which received the same mark
Of excellent during the last inspec-
tions. but unfortunately, 1t did not
receive either of the trophies.
The commanding of1icer and the
division commanders of the local
outfit have expressed themselves as
much pleased with the mark given
them by the inspecting officers. and
point out that the results of the
training program inaugurated several
years ago are just beginning to show
Definite steps have been taken to
provide such training for the petty
officers of the various groups and the
ordinary seamen, SO that any one
taken out of the ranks at any time
by the inspecting officers will be able
to answer promptly and correctly any
question that is propounded to them
concerning their duties. Because of
the limited time available at the
inspections, it was pointed out, the
inspecting officers do not have sufi-
cient time to examine each enlisted
man, and they have formed the prac-
tice of picking men of each group at
random and marking the whole group
by the results Of the test OF the
selected men.

Transportation costs have cramped

land has made a number Of visits TO

has observed great improvement In

Cancelled in the interests Of conserv-
ing transportation costs.
In this connection, officers Of the
battalion here are expressing the hope
that it will not result in the necessity
OF cutting deeper into the division per.
sonnel, as they fear that they might
lose some valuable men. While efforts
nave been made during the last few
years TO build up the size of the divi-
sions realizing that every man would
be needed in the event Of a national
emergency, the lack of funds with
which to pay the men has held this
proposal in check.
Wnlle the number of paid men. or
those in the Fleet Reserve, is limited.
some OF the divisions have been able

oy the number of volunteer Re.
servists who participate regularly In
the weekly drills. These members
OF the volunteers are not required
10 participate in the weekly drills.
although they are encouraged to do
SO. However, Reserve officers realize
the lack of equity in having these
volunteers perform the same duty. a
