Labor Board Report Shows More
Than Half Disputes Closed by
Employer Worker Agreement

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Relations Board is
sued a summary of it's work on July
5, three years to day from the sign
ing of the bill by President Roosevelt.
The summary shows three things:
The tremendous work to be done, the
huge proportion of that work which
is done without serious dispute, and
the difference between the amount
accomplished before the Supreme
Court validated the act and since.
The first two points are recorded
by the NLRB as follows:
"The board has handled 10,107 un-
fair labor practice charges and 4,725
petitions in representation cases. It's
record shows that it has closed IL, ,180
of these cases, involving 2,247,9
workers, and that it has been able to
end the majority of the disputes (55
per cent? by agreement of both
employer and employee. Another 40
per cent of closed cases was either
dismissed by the board OF withdrawn
by the workers, leaving only per
cent which had to go to formal hear
ing and eventually to court review.
''The vast majority of board cases
are settled at the boards % Regional
Offices by means which are informal
in the sense that they do not have
to be taken to Washington for board
action. This is demonstrated by the
fact that only $50 formal cease and
desist orders have been issued by the
board in Washington, or little more
than 2 per cent of the II, ,180 cases
either closed by agreement or can
celled from the books.
Nearly Half Million Vote.
an 1890 secret ballot elections,
conducted by the board to determine
employee representation, there have
been 45o,842 valid votes cast. In
many disputes the workers chose to
use the boards election machine in
stead of resorting to the strike. A
high interest in industrial suffrage
appears in the fact that SO per cent
of all eligible cast ballots.
"An analysis Of the causes Of COM
plants show that 4,670 of the total
cases concerned Section (3) of the
Act, which makes it an unfair labor
practice to discriminate against
workers because of their union affili-
show that 1882 workers we're rein
stated after discriminatory dis
charge"
Activity Follows Decision.
The timing of the cases shows that
the Supreme Courts APPROVAL Of the
act turned loose tremendous body
of work on the board. 1t says:
'.The boards 33 months of active
operations may be divided into two
periods-the 18 months preceding
April II, 1887, when the Supreme
Court validated the Act, and the Is
succeeding months. In every phase
Of its activities comparisons show
that the great bulk of work achieved
has fallen in the latter period.
LESS than 100000 workers had
been involved in board cases by April
/, 1887. Now nearly 100000 have
been involved. 834 cases had been
closed by April 1887, involving 49,
8o8 workers. Now 5000 cases have
ben closed involving 1,247,8 ,878
workers"
AS final statement, it may be

a particularly intelligent group, more.
capable, perhaps, than some Of the
less cultured laborers to operate their
own affairs, they were thrown rather
quickly or put rather quickly into a
national organization.
"That's where the guild originated
and where it came from. This COM
bination this national combination
is Of very recent origin in that con-
nection.
Nov, wherever there are workers
found who want to come into the
A. T. Of T., who have no place to
come through one Of the national
OF one Of the international unions
they come IN through one Of the two
gates that | have mentioned here,
which, with the nationals and inter-
nationals, cover the whole field or
working people.
Aim Is to Protect Workers
"Well, as | understand the pur-
pose Of those sections and the act as
a whole, it is to protect the workers
in the exercise Of their right to or
ganize III trade unions and to carry
on normal trade union activities as
known and understood by Congress
and the world at large at the time Of
the passage Of the act, as a means Of
establishing a greater degree of equal
ity and recognition of mutual rights
between two contending groups the
employers an ane side and the work
ers on the other--thus to diminish
strikes and lockouts Of the sort that
tend to interfere with commerce.
"As one Of the means Of accom-
plishing that, and only one Of the
means, Congress provided for the
item Of collective bargaining, which
is being discussed at this hearing for
the purpose of setting up a so-called
bargaining unit.
Legal Status Is Basic
''Now we have arrived at what to
me is an extremely difficult phase Of
this procedure. Basically we are deal
ing with the status of the worker;
that is to say, with his personal con-
tract of service. Therefore, with the
status of the worker himself in rela-
tion to his job, his employer and the
law.
s'ColIectiye bargaining doesn't move
train or sew a seam Trade unions
themselv IS do not do it, and the act
(National Labor Relations AcD
doesn't do it, groups do not do it.
Thta is done by individuals, and all
this machinery that we set up and
these processes and these laws relate
basically to just one thing, and that
traced to the ultimate, is the legal
status of the workers, and unless that
is taken into consideration in connec.
ton with activities of the sort in
which we are engaged here, and such
laws as the National Labor Relations
Law, SOME VERY GRAVE ERRORS

NEW LAW SMILES
ON JA|L'S STORE
Louie Haag's Trade With
Guaranteed Customers
lust Normal, However.

It was just the usual run Of business
today at Louis Haag's commissary at
the District Jail despite the publicity
hs received yesterday when President
Roosevelt signed bill legalizing the
operation Of the tobacco and candy
stand in the District Jail.
Mr.. Haag. known as Louie" to all
the oficials and inmates Of the jail,
said today that he was grateful for
the legislation which saved his only
source of income, but that publicity
didn't increase his business because he
has all the cusUomeys ne Cali get, aI,d
doesn't think any one will break into
Jail" just to buy his wares.
Threatened with the closing of his
stand. which he has operated since
1928, Louie" who looks younger than
his 80 years, appealed to his friends.
Because Of recent ruling from the
controller general holding legal au-
thorization necessary for the contin-
ued operation Of the stand. Congress
and President Roosevelt collaborated.
The storekeeper, who deals indirect
ly with the majority of his customers,
says that the most popular item in
his stock is tobacco, but he also sells
lot Of candy, stamped envelopes and
writing paper. The shelves Of his little
store, located in the basement Of the
jail, are stocked with all kinds Of to-
bacco and candy. as well as soap,
matches. shoe polish, soft drinks.
canned beans, sardines, and q variety
Of other items that might appeal to
his customers.
He pointed out today that even
though he can't expect to build up his
business, he has some advantages not
enjoyed by other stores.
All his sales are cash. even though
credit customer who didn't pay his
bills couldn't very well dodge him; he
doesn't have to handle telephone or
ders and he gets unequaled police pro-
lection.
Louie" who lives in . boarding
house across the street from the Jail,
was guard until 1928, and prior to
that was employed in the post ONCE
Of the House Once Building and also
worked for the Shipping Board. He
was born in Henderson, KY, and
worked for many years for q railroad
Senator Barkley and former Repre-
sentative Vinson Of Kentucky were
instrumental in passage Of legislation

Natures Children
Sacred Scarab Beetle
(Ateuchus sacer).

which give the beetle 4, bow-legeed
expression, but they must be used for
other purposes than for walking, hence
their curved effect. They have I'VE
teeth on the outside. The elbows can
be used to push debris aside and the
front feet become arms in that they
gather supplies in large amounts to
be sorted later. These front feet also
serve to push the food back to the
four hind legs. which. in turn, sort and
roll and press the food into the bali,
which soon begins to reach propor-
tions that seem unwieldy.
Now you will be amused. Instead Of
pushing the ball with his nat head,
the beetle turns his back on his mar
keting and kicks 1t home with his
hind legs. II you have ever tried to
walk a rolling barrel. you can have q
good idea of the tumble bugs actions.
Swift right and left thrusts Of the
claw-tipped feet keep the ball rolling
toward home.
After a trying, hazardous Journey

had in mind Is . banqueting hall.
The room Is quickly excavated and
the ball rolled in. Then. after clos
ing the door with some rubbish, he
settles down to enjoy the results Of
his labor. Perhaps one week and

feast Is over.

Of the ball and coarse bits are used
for roof. The baby must have air
when It steps from the shell. It con-
sumes its home walls, going deeper
within, until 1t is ready to transform
into q beetle. for In its early youth 1t
Is q grub.
It finally assumes the form Of its
parents and. after changing its last
skin, Is red and white color. Then it
Is eager to reach the fresh air. II
there have been rains and the earth
is soft, the beetle will work its way up,
after escaping from the tough walls
Of its nursery. When it reaches the
air 1t basks in the sunshine, slowly
assuming the ebony armament and
color Of its ancestors.
