Enforcement of the Wagner Labor
Act by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board has produced more strife
and misunderstanding between en-
ploye and employer than ever ex-
lsted before. Senator Burke. Demo-
crat. of Nebraska told a Judiciary
Subcommittee today in presenting
the basis Of his demand for a Sen
ate investigation OF the board.
Before celebrating on the specific
allegations IN his resolution asking
for the inquiry, the Nebraskan de-
clared many people believe the labor
act needs drastic revision, and some
feel that no small part of the blame
for the present appalling economic
depression may properly be laid at
the door of this administrative
agency"
A few minutes after Senator Burke
began his statement, he was inter-
rupted with questions by several sub
committee members.
Senator Norris, independent, of Ne
braska raised the point that the
subject should go to the Education
and Labor Committee, which drafted
the labor act.
Senate Rule Proposed.
Senator Burke proposed q Senate
rule under which any new law that
would set up an agenrv with judicial
powers would have to be approved by
the Judiciary Committee before en-
actment.
In support of his charge that the
Labor Board has favored one type Of
union as opposed to all other groups,
Senator Burke criticized the board's s
conduct of the Weirton Steel Co. case
at Steubenville, Ohio, in which he
said the agency has missed no op-
portunity to break down the so-called
company unions in the interest Of
their c. I. o. rivals"
The Senator accused the board OF
ignoring contracts between employers
and the American Federation Of Labor
when charges were filed by the c. I. o.
unions. and with ordering elections to
determine representation in the face
of the A. F. of L. contracts.
Such was the case at the Consoli-
dated Edison Co. of New York, which
employs 10000 men," Senator Burke
continued. This was true also with
MISUNDERSTANDING Co. Of Cleve-
land and the Southern Chemical Cot
ton Co. of Chattanooga.
Can any one be surprised that the
delegates to the last convention Of the
American Federation of Labor were so
outraged by the continued course OF
conduct on the part Of the Labor
Board that condemnatory resolutions
were adopted?"
The Nebraska Senator also made
more specific charges In his resolu-
ton that the board and its agents
have intimidated public officials and
interfered with freedom Of speech and
press by quizzing writer's regarding
their articles or editorials dealing with
labor disputes.
The subcommittee is meeting today

JACKSON IS NAMED
TO SUCCEED REED
President Roosevelt Picks
Antitrust Warrior for
Solicitor General.

Robert H. jackson. 46, who as As
sistant Attorney General in charge of
the Justice Departments antitrust
division has been the New Deals lead
ing anti-big business spokesman, was
nominated by President Roosevelt to-
day as Solicitor General to succeed
Stanley F. Reed. recently appointed
to the Supreme Court.
The choice of Mr. Jackson. who also
has been mentioned as candidate for
the governorship Of New York, had
been expected.
Mr.. Jackson, who excited indus
trialists in December with a virulent
speech against the practices of some
OF the country's business men, has
been head Of the antitrust division
since 1886. Among his spectacular
successes was the conviction last week
of 16 oil companies for conspiracy to
raise and fix gasoline prices in 10
Midwestern States.
The nomination of Mr.. Jackson, who
began his career as a small-town law
yer in jamestown, N. Y, which is still
his hcme, was presented to the Senate
shortly before noon, few hours after
the President gave to Mr.. Reed his
commission as member of the Su-
preme Court.
AS Solicitor General, Mr.. Jacksons
chief job will be to represent the Gov
ernment before the Supreme Court.
He also will assist the Attorney Gen.
eral, becoming acting head Of the
department during the absence of the
Attorney General, and pass on all
Federal appeals to any appellate court.
Last fall Mr.. Jackson accompanied
President Roosevelt on a Caribbean
fishing cruise. Their talk dealt more
with monopolies than fish, and when
the trip was over Mr. Jackson re-
turned to Washington to find himself
labeled the Nations No. l trust buster.

portAnt enough to bring in. Senator

Five Horses Nominated for Kentucky Derby Have
 King Names

LOUISVILLE, May 2-The Ken lucky Derby this year might in- deed turn out to be a sport of the kings.
 The kings in this instance con- cerns the nominees. Among the 103 eligibles are five horses which have King in their names.
 There are Bourbon King and My thical King, King Balboaa, King Pharamond and Kings Heir. What a spot for the boys who write about the race if all the Kings" go to the post and then one or more of them finish in the money!
 There are other horses with title" names. In this group are Gov. Chandler, Sir Ally, Sir Raleigh, The Chief, pr. Holmes and Con- gressman.
 There is a wide assortment of animal and bird names in the list, especially in She fox" line.
 There are Fighting Fox and Wise Fox, for instance, plus Blind Eagle, Tiger, Tiger Teddy, Redbreast and Brown Moth.
 In the clothes" line are Chaps, Cravat and Crepe.
 The light" group has a strong entry of Torchlight, Traffic Light and Legal Light.
 Stagehand and Hollywood Ace form another group. And there are Sound Wave and a C-Note too. Two sports-Co-Sport and Gen. uine Sport also are among the nom- inees.
 Can't Wait is one of the most un- usual names in the group. It recalls the 1921 Derby winners name Behave Yourself.
 Just to illustrate what can be done with some of the names of prospec- tive starters, here's an example (names in quotes).
 Wonder if "Robber Bold' will be "Invincible" and "Walkaway' with the Pin Money at one Gallant Stroke" or whether the Commission" of Joe Schenck, William Palmer" and Stephen Jay armed with a Bull Whip, will make him walk the Gang plank?"

NEW YORK, May 2.-St. Louis and Detroit, with pardonable civic pride. are boasting that their "Mur derers' Rows are really more dan gerous than New York's.
 In other years a reference to a "Murderers' Row" in baseball meant a stretch in the batting order of the New York Yankees. The Rup- pert Rifles generally managed to come up with the most damaging ball-busters.
 A year ago there was none to match the trio composed of Joe DiMaggio, Leu Gehri9 and Bill Dickey.
