with Chairman Neely Of West Virginia
presiding, to determine what action
should be recommended on the Burke
resolution. Some officials of the Labor
Board were present this morning, but
1t is likely Senator Burke's opening
statement would take all of today's
session.
The Nebraskan devoted part Of his
statement to reasons why the Judiciary
Committee is the proper body to make
the investigation, pointing out that
the Labor Board exercises a quasi
judicial power in conducting labor dis
pute hearings. II changes in the law
later are found desirable, he said,
they might well be considered by some
other committee. Senator Burke is
a member Of the judiciary group, as
well as the special subcommittee.
Proof Promised.
Senator Burke told the Subcommit-
tee that reliable witnesses would ap-
pear before Senate Investigating
Committee and offer proof on the
following matters:
81. That organizers for certain labor
organizations have been deputized as
agents of the board and supplied with
credentials which they have used un-
fairly in the effort to obtain informa-
ton in order to make out a case.
20. That agents Of the board attend
certain types Of union meetings and
solicit the signing Of affidavits for the
purpose of obtaining material to in
stitute complaints.
"3. That the board has appointed
examiners known to be prejudiced in
favor OF one party. That in certain
cases where the examiner has not re-
ported in accordance with the desires
Of the board it has withdrawn the case
from the examiner in order to secure
the kind Of report it set out to secure.
-. That the board has appointed
examiners for individual cases on a per
diem basis, which has resulted in long
drawn-out hearings and reports of the
kind which the board favored. The
examiners realize that unless the re-
ports are pleasing to the board they
will receive no subsequent appoint
ments.
Partially Declared Shown.
IS. That the board expended Gov
ernment funds in paymeslt of witnesses
and counsel on behalf of one labor
organization. and requires other labor
groups and employers to pay excessive
expenses in defending complaints.
"6. That the board has refused to
call elections on the petition of an
independent union in the effort there
by to build up other unions Of the
kind the board favors.
~. That the board furnishes as
witnesses employees Of its own, to be
examined before its own employe as
judge, the examination to be conduct
ed by its own employe as prosecutor.
IS. That in a very large number
Of cases the hearings before the board
examiners are conducted in an un-
fair and biased manner, with the
very evident purpose Of trying to get
some evidence in the record, how
ever flimsy, in order to support a
predetermined conclusion"
The subcommittee adjourned at
noon until 1920 am. tomorrow, when
Senator Burke will continue pre-
senting his arguments.
