A demand for an increase in the

a declaration that the boards admin

national disgrace"
Chairman Glass, commenting on the
Senate Appropriations Committees re-
duction in the proposed Labor Board
appropriation from $2,955,OO0 to So
$4,000, told the Senate some of us
think the board ought to be abolished"
The proposed Labor Board appro-
priation is one of the items in the

cripple and injure" the administra-
ton of the Labor Act.
He contended the board was "func-
tioning according to the will of Con-
gress" and had been successful" in
carrying out the provisions of the
national labor law.
Senator Thomas asked Senator Glass
why the Senate committee had made
the cut
Senator Glass replied that "among
other things" the committee found the
board had employed l62 lawyers and
that until it could establish the use
tulness" Of some of its employees, the
committee did not feel justified in
allowing the amount approved in the
House. He said the reduction would
make the appropriation for next year
the same as for the current II months.
We didn't want the board to ex-
tend its tentacles to every community
in the United States" Senator Glass
told the Senate.
Senator Burke said that he did not
feel inclined to cripple the board in

appeared on the scene and told the

Deputy Sheriff George Fish, believ-
