N. |. R. B. PLANS
A.E.L. REPLY SOON
Will Answer Charges ir
Supreme Court-Recent
Order Under Fire.
BY the Associated Press.

by tHe hSSOCldLeQ fTcSS.
The National Labor Relations Board
planned to make answer this week
before the Supreme Court to accusa-
tions of the American Federation OF
Labor that it is "proponent of the
c. I. O."
The charge against the board was
filed with the court yesterday in
brief attacking the validity of board
order directing the Consolidated EGi-
SON Co. of New York to abrogate a
contract with an A. F. L. affiliate.
The boards answer will be made
during oral argument on the case.
The board order, which was issued
upon a complaint by the United Elec-
trical and Radio Workers Of America
&C. I. o., directed Consolidated Edison
to cease recognition of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers CA. F. of L. and to reinstate
six men found to have been dismissed
for activity on behalf of the c. I. 0.
affiliate.
Brief Challenges Action.
Challenging this action, the brief
contended that 10000 of the $4,000
Consolidated Edison employees be-
longed to the Federation and that it
was entitled to represent the men in
collective bargaining.
Are cooperation between employer
and labor to be outlawed and the re-
lationship of enmity to be fostered?"
the brief asked. such is evidently
the boards construction Of the pur-
pose of the act"
The brief contended, too, that the
labor board should not take jurisdic-
ton when the States have labor rela-
tions acts. Pointing out that New
York has such an act, the Federation
said:
Where States have jurisdiction in
administrative matters affecting labor
relations, we desire the State admin
istrative agencies to exercise the juris-
diction. We desire it even to the
exclusion of Federal agencies"
Complaints Listed.
The brief said that in recent months
1T has become necessary" for the Fed
Grafton to criticize certain aspects"
in the administration OF the Labor
Relations Act and added:
I'm the case before the court there
are involved a number of these criti-
cism- m-compelling practices. Foremost
are these:
The failure Of the National Labor
Relations Board to join Cnclude) labor
organizations as parties to proceedings
in which it is contemplated that con-
tracts of these labor organizations will
be adversely affected.
The assertion by the board of the
| right to enter orders nullifying collec-
tive bargaining contracts of national
labor organizations when no question
Of domination by the employer is in
volved, and the organization does not
seek exclusive representation.
The practice of the board of pro-
hibiting any expression by any en-
ployer or by minor supervisory en-
ployes of sympathy with or preference
| for the airs or ideals of national labor
organizations in contravention of the
right of free speech under penalty Of
invalidating contracts entered into in
good faith.
These are practices which have
within the recent past adversely af-
fected affiliates of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. A broad tendency
for them to recur with expanding force
can be noticed today"

Esthetes have swooned at the sight
for years.

to do something about it.
Things haven't always been like this.
A statue of Washington once stood
across Capitol Plaza from Columbus

he would throw the world.

Fight With Labor Denied.
To suggestions Mr.. Martins visit,
which was confined to an exchange of

volved talk on labor problems with
Mr.. Bennett, indicated friendlier rela-
tions between the u A. w. and the
Ford company, Mr.. Bennett said:
There never was fight between
the company and organized labor
The only trouble was when some peo-
pie tried to storm our gates. They
can't do that. But If the men want

Both Nathan Straus. administrator

thority. and John Ihlder, executive

the administration of their own agen-
cies.
Two Projects Described.
Mr.. Ihlder described completion of
two projects, one a group of 18 one
family houses, for white. and the other
an apartment house for colored. His
organization. Mr.. Ihlder said. also is
completing 18 one-family houses for
colored
Like all landlords" he said, 1--WE
have our rent troubles, but at the
present time all except eight who have
been in arrears are paying their back
rent by installments"
As soon as the u S. H. A. makes a
$10,000,000 loan. he predicted five
projects will be started. Three are to
replace slum areas, while two will be
constructed on vacant land. Two are
for white and three for colored.

selection of that role is an

Slovak rulers. Indeed, even as
the assembly trumpets blow, one
can vision one more Of those
military disasters which have
always befallen attempts at war
by polyglot sections Of Europe
banded together only outwardly.
That is, if Russia does not help.
This is buffer state, alleged
ly designed by the treatymakers
as an aid to peace. Instead, 1t is
today's most fearful menace to
peace. Czechoslovakia is full Of
Russian officers who have
studied her strategic position
as the Soviet's mid-European
airplane base. These Russians
daily drill and fraternize with
the officers Of the CzechoSlo-
vakian army. This fact alone
brings foam to the lips Of q
Germany which has called the
polyglot nation q barricade Of
communism.
DUT in spite Of this accusation
~ or maybe because Of it
and what there might be in it
the Soviet Republic continues to
pour guns, ammunition and
money into Czechoslovakia. She
keeps the great Skoda NUM-
lions factory in Pilsen on night
and day shifts, turning out
wholesale murder machinery.
Long-range guns line the Dor
ders, and anti-aircraft guns
bristle in far greater quantities
than they do in Paris or in Lon
don. Half Of Russia's striking
airplane force is said today to be
quartered in Czechoslovakia.
They may be moving it to-
day-but that fact seems I'M
likely. If Germany marches
across the border, Russia must
put up or shut up. This would be

has suddenly built up in Europe; and the wolf may
arrive this time.

" WV issued warning that IF Ger

set off war; The situation called by observers the
Sravest since 1914.
The whole thing is a climax-the most dramatic
to date-in the story of the operations and in
trgues of the Sudeten German minority in Czechoslo-
vakia. Konrad Henein leader of the Sudeten Ger
mans, has long been demanding rights and priv
eleges for his section of Czechoslovaka's population

There is big advantage for England and France

Ice Rink for D. c.

If the Government really
wants to do something for
Washington with all this WPA
money they are spending why
don't they put up a skating
rink here so that all the chill
dren can have a place to go in
the summer?
This would pay for itself very
quickly and it would give every
body a chaLce to enjoy a swell
sport which is not only exercise
but at the same time a real &C
complishment.
The ice ballets in New York
and in Washington have shown
the great interest in the sport
but there is no other way ex-
cept an ice palace in Washing
ton to personally enjoy the
thrills Of skating. A building
one block square could be filled
