IN new ATTACK
ON LABOR BOARD

Counsel for the Republic Steel
Corporation today served notice
on the National Labor Relations
Board of a new attack upon con
Stitutionality of the Wagner labor
act.

Court decisions sustaining the act

tion.
Republic lawyers appeared tc
believe that new situations have
arisen which would cause the Su
preme Court to hold major por.
tions of the act invalid.
UNFAIRNESS CHARGED
Day also contended that the
board, in it's new order directed
against Republic, holding it guilty
Of unfair labor practices and or
dering reinstatement Of 5000
workers, had failed to grant a fair
hearing.
The case, he pointed out, was
reopened because the board sought
to correct procedure in order to
avoid possibility of the case being
thrown out by the Supreme Court
on the basis of the doctrine laid
down in the Kansas City stock,
yards case.
THE board has denied us due
process of law because it merely
took previous findings and, with
a few changes, adopted them
again." said Day.
CALLS LAW INVALID
Day contended that the labor
law is invalid because power given
the board to take affirmative &C
ton for violation of the Wagner
act apparently gives it unlimited
power to legiSlate; that the board
is given an unconstitutional dele
cation of juriSdictional power, and
that the act, as construed by the
board, infringes upon the right OF
free speech.
The Republic lawyer charge;
that the entire trouble was caused
by decision of the CIO steel work
erS' union to inaugurate a strike
to force 'little steel" in line.
Striking employees, it was charged
were guilty of lawlesSneSs, anC

the intolerable prospect Of misery
