THE BAR AND THE NLRB
News

A committee of the American Bar Association
says the National Labor Relations Board must be
regarded as partsanS of one class as against the
other and the result must be to intensity class an
tagonism." The Wagner labor act is 1.-The dehber-
ate embodiment of new social policy IN wmcn
the federal government has departed from the
traditional role of mediator and arbiter The pro-
cedure of the NLRB 'is such that it cannot COM
n1and the confidence of the public" The commit
tee urges amendments which would observe the
traditional requirements of fair play, guarantee an
impartial hearing and give to employer and en-
ploye alike the right of presenting complaints
There is no question of the one-sidedness of the
Wagner act. The employer has scant consideration
from the NLRB under this law. He is at serious
disadvantage in dealing with labor problems IN MS
own establishment. Employer rights have been
overrdden by the Roosevelt administration. Coun-
sci for an employer appearing before the NLRB
finds himself in what has the color of a hostile
place.
The Wagner labor law, according to Senator
Edward R. Burke, of Nebraska, has resulted IN
many plants in complete breakdown of discipline
and tremendous setback to efficiency in produc-
ton This should be corrected In addition II the
act is to serve its purpose, it should not be one
sided. 1t should also list, and forbid unfair labor
practices by employes-unfair either to employers
or to other employees
The board investigates, prosecutes and judges
1t also is the jury with respect to the admission
of evidence at the trial the act provides that the
ordinary rules of evidence, which obtain in courts
of law, shall not govern This rule has been so
flagrantly abused in the majority of cases that 1t
is commonly understood that anything directed at
the employer will be admitted, no matter how
doubtful in authenticity or how lacking in proba-
tive value .-.n.
The committee of the American Bar Association
is mindful of these things and its report is based
on finding which have been carefully weighed and
considered Congress should have given attention
to necessary amendment of the Wagner act but
chose to leave it as it is with election approach
ing Instead of improving the relations between en-
ployer and employee, the Wagner law has created
strife 1t has caused trouble in establishments
which were at peace until meddlers INTERVIEWED
The Wagner law appears to be ranged on the side
of the Committee for Industrial Organization OF
which John L. Lewis is the militant and domlneer-
ing chef-Charleston News and Courier.

would be for the administration 1t is even sur
prisng that it should be introduced potential
evidence in an inquiry aimed at determining how
much undue influence has been exerted at the bal
lot box with money and breakdown tactics.
Nevertheless as one figure of national per-
Torrance featuring central theme of inquisitiOn
at the polls, with charges of fraudulent political
practices in state after state being made Mr.. Hop
kins should be informed to whether anybody
has been tampering with that great body of voters
which he contends is to all intents and purposes
unanimous in at least of its verdicts. No
clearer delineation of to which the reliefers
are being put can be had than was contained this
week in the findings of the senate committee on
affairs in Tennessee. Consider this sentence from
its report
apparently every scheme and questionable de-
vice that can be used in political contest to raise
funds, to influence votes and control the election
is in full swing" Take in connection with that
conclusion a report just made by Turner Catledge
in the New York Times that the WPA workers,
10000 strong, have been organized on an army
basis from head administrative officers to laborers
on the projects Federal vote collectors have more
than 100000 subjects on whom to work in Ten
nessee and if the report of Mr.. Catedge, the find
ing of the committee accurate, indeed they
are turning on the screws. 1t is true this is only
part of the story. State employees have also been
worked to the limit and have been practically or
dered to join the Golden Rule club, whose primary
purpose is to raise money. for a political pot.
The committee felt that regardless Of which can
didate won in the primary, regardless of what local
prosecution might take place against election law
violators there would be contest once the can
didate certified successful attempted to take his
seat in the senate Nevertheless, Senator Sheppard,
of Texas a member of the committee, was so dis
satisfied with what he called the incompleteness
of the report from Tennessee that he is urging six
more investigators be dispatched there. Most of
the inquiry so far, he said, has related to the use
of federal funds and the senator now wishes to
go more fully into the expenditure of state funds
How does such a presentment fit into that old
American ideal, sacred ballot box? incidentally,
how does Mr. Hopkins know that 90 per cent Of
his clients will vote way if they to be sub
jected to these and other pressures?-Greensboro

NEW DEALERS THINK SOUTHERNERS
ARE YAPS AND YAHOOS

This significant paragraph is quoted
from The Christian Science Monitor, a non
partisan newspaper:
The New Deal high command has no alliance
with the old line democracy of the So-called Solid
South 1t has profted by this solidarity in gaining
temporary ascendancy. But there lacking any
convincing indications that the South has profted
by the strange alliance"
The truth is that the so-called new deal
has nothing in common with any group or
class of intelligent and patriotic southern
ers. 1t has no alliance with these because
they can not be bought or intimidated or
controlled by cash raided from the United
States treasury.
There are certain other groups and
classes of which these statements cannot
be truthfully made.
However, one of the best known facts OF
present day conditions is that the new deal
erS regard all inhabitants of the Southern
States as so many yaps and yahoos, who
will greedily swallow anything labelled
Democratic and will vote for the devil if
he appear in the stolen livery of Democ-
racy.
To hold the South in line is the only
reason the new dealers have for cOntinu-
ing to parade in the habiliments Of the
Democratic party. In other sections OF the
country the radicals, negroes and assorted
and conglomerate followers of the deal do
not need to be held in line by such tactics.
Millions of them hate the Democratic party
like poison and their best efforts are di-
rected toward it's destruction, but they
know that for the time being it is smart
politics to retain control of the Democratic
national organization and pose as the Dem
ocratic party.
No, the South has not profited by the
new deal Looking at the matter merely as
a financial proposition, the records show
that the South has been sold down the
river" by the new dealers. When the South
gets through paying for the new deal it
will discover just how expensive 1t has
been.
The cold, hard, disgusting but alarming
fact is that the South has sold its American
birthright of American liberty and free
dom and privilege and inalienable rights
for mess of new deal pOttage and coun-
terfeit party label.

GOLD POLICY AGAIN
CHALLENGED BEFORE
u. S. SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON. July 30. (UP)
A vital segment Of the new deal
gold policy, which the supreme
court three years ago utterly con-
demned as ''repudiat;on" but did
not invalidate. was challenged be
fore the high tribunal yesterday
for the second time by John VI.
Perry. New York lawyer.
The section under attack is II
joint resolution passed by con-
grcss on June ), 1888. which
scrapped the governments writ
ten pledge to redeem its bonds
and other securities n gold. I'm
der this provision. the new deal is
liquidating its obligations with
currency based on the dcvalucd
dollar.
It is this policy to which Perry
objects. He own, a $4,000 Lib
crty Loan bond which he did not
surrender when the issue maturcd
in 1894. The bond contains the
governments promise to redeem
it in coin "of the present standard
value of gold" which was 25.8
grains to the dollar. when the
bond was issued. and which slump
ed to l5.5-2l grains under d"Val-
