n. |. R. B. PROVISION
ON ORDERS URGED
U. S. Contracts or Grants to Be
Conditioned if Wagner
Amendment Passes.

An amendment to the Labor Rela
tions Act to require all persons who
benefit from Go ernment contracts,
loans or grants to comply with orders
Of the National Labor Relations Board
was offered in the Senate today by
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York. sponsor of the original law.
The jurisdiction Of the board is
limited. generally speaking. to enter
prises that can be brought within the
Federal power under the commerce
clause Of the Constitution" Senator
Wagner said Where is no question
however. that the Federal Government
apart from the limitation of the COM
merce clause. may legislate with re-
spect to the condition under which 1t
will enter into contract for equipment
or supplies. or make grants or loans
Of public funds.
The present bill. therefore, applies
to all persons obtaining such benefits
whether or not they are otherwise sub
ject to the terms of the National Labor
Relations Act. The jurisdiction con-
ferred on the board under this bill is
thus apart from and in addition to any
and all jurisdiction conferred under
the act itself The bill does not, how
ever. apply to purchases made on the
open market. or to the first processing
of agricultural products. or to persons
covered by the Railway Labor Act"

Ship Sinking
Continued From First PAGE

In the Mediterranean about 20 mile
off Barcelona, Spain. was attacked b!
two insurgent airplanes. the Spanish
government defense ministry reported
The Endymion, sunk off the Spanish
coast Monday, was torpedoed by q
submarine.
France Joined Great Britain in plans
to guard neutral shipping on the
Mediterranean by force if necessary
French Ambassador Charles Corbir
informed Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden of Frances acceptance of Brit.
1sh anti-piracy proposals.
France and Britain together were
reported reliably to have massed q
joint fleet of 70 destroyers in thei,
Mediterranean patrol!
y Indications pointed also to quick air
reinforcement of the naval measures
British planes that had been called
home from the Mediterranean anti
piracy patrol were expected to be sent
back.
Inquiry Is Launched
The foreign Office began inquiries
Into the sinking OF the Alcira as soon
as reports OF the attack we're received
Authoritative sources said Eden
was prepared to make full state
ment to the House of Commons Mon
day covering steps already put into
force.
These sources indicated Britain
would carry out her anti-piracy plans
regardless Of the action of other
powers, including Italy. The Spanish
government charged Italy had as
signed four destroyers and two SUBJ
marines to the Spanish insurgents
and was responsible for the sinking
Of the Endymion
Eden also conferrged with Sir
Neville Henderson, British Ambassador
to Germany. He was believed to
have instructed the envoy, returning
to Berlin, to take steps to obtain
Reichsfuerhrer Hitler's support for
British proposals to end air attacks
on cities behind the lines in Spain.
Seen Attempts at Blockade.
The sinkings of the Alcira and
Endymion were considered results of
1nsurgent Generalissimo Francisco
Frances attempt to blockade the
government-held eastern coast of
Spain.
Franco issued warning of such a
blockade some time ago, but Britain
has refused fatty to recognize it.
Both ships we're sunk on the high seas
while carrying cargoes defined as legal
under the non-intervention accord.
Britain's position is that Frances
rights as a belligerent are not rec
ognized and therefore he has no right
to impose a blockade. Moreover, the
British. contend there is no evidence
the blockade is effective, an essential
condition under international law to
Its acceptance.
During Frances blockade of Spain's
northern coast during the siege Of
Bilbao last May and June the British
admiralty intimated it was convinced
OF its effectiveness and therefore rec
ognised the blockade apart from any
consideration of frances right to es-
tablish it.
Pursue individual Efforts.
Britain and France, meanwhile are
pursuing individual efforts to gain q
truce on civilian air bombings in
Spain. The Madrid Barcelona gov
ernment yesterday ordered its fleets
to refrain from attacking insurgent
unfortified areas. The insurgent
regime, however, has not made clear
its decision.
Laborite A. v. Alexander gave notice
he would ask Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden and Alfred Dun Cooper,
first lord Of the admiralty, in Com
mons Monday what was being done
to find the ports where the "pirates'
based.
