Say Changes Would Benefit
Neither Labor Nor Industry

Finally, the labor board itself ap.
peared before the senate commit
tee and announced it had an "open
mind" It's mind was so open that
it submitted a document of 800 type
written pages, analyzing the pro-
posals for changes and arriving gen.
orally at the conclusion that the pro-
posed changes were no good. In
substance, the board said that the
bulk of the changes being pressed
would benefit neither labor group,
nor would they be of help to indus
try" Most of all, in the labor
boards mind, the amendments
would conflict with the basic pur-
poses of the act"
Thus, as the hearings were con-
cluded and the committee seeks to
do some celebrating on its own ac-
count, labor finds itself still fight
ing within itself, lacking direction
and one could almost say, lacking
purpose. It is too bad that there
must be the same greed, the same
thirst for power within the ranks
of workers as there is among politi-
cal leaders and heads of govern
ments. Those fellows who play the
game of politics can lose their jobs
and the country is none the worse.
But when political labor leaders
play their games and lose, the pawns
are the workers who have no means
of protection.

International

Though u. S. citizens have been
wont to decry Britain's vaccilating
foreign policy, events of 1899 have
focused more than passing attention
on similar problem at home: Does
Washington officialdom agree on a
sound, well-reasoned foreign policy?
Is such a policy reflected in COM
nonsense national defense?
Most Americans think not, though
by and large they feel alike about
Hitler and Mussolini, dislike war
and want no part in an arms race.
Yet informed Americans agree both
Germany and Italy were manhan-
died at Versailles, agreeing also that
the U. S. must have adequate" de-
Tense, even if it means an arms
race. On the subject of American
interference in foreign affairs there
is debate: One school prefers ira
ditional isolationism, though this

Hearings Are Delayed by
Various Stating Maneuuers

Supporters of the law in its pres
ent form and defenders of the board
as it is now made up succeeded for
example in delaying hearings on
amendments to the act for more
than a month. They urged Senator
Thomas of Utah, committee chair
man, not to hold hearings while
peace negotiations were in prog
ress. They insisted that it was un-
fair to embarrass the President in
his attempts to restore unity in the
labor movement, and argued that
hearings would bring bitter state
ments into print. Mr.. Thomas yield
ed to the plea for delay, but eventu-
ally the pressure for action became
too strong even for the Utah senator
to resist.
And the friends of the law were
right when they anticipated bitter
words. Senator Wagner in his testi-
mony spoke rather blatantly about
critics being unacquainted with the
purposes of the law. He felt, too,
that there was no need for haste
about changes. He rather limited
that there were some Ethiopian gen.
tlemen in the woodpile, but failed to
put his finger on them. He simply
was standing pat about the whole
thing.
A little later, however, the c. I. o.
people named the terrible "conspir-
ators" who wanted the act changed.
The American Federation of Labor
had "conspired" with the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
There was the fine unseen hand, the
Chamber of Commerce, big bust
ness, personifed. 1t was the guilty
party; it was speaking for the en-
ployers who want to grind poor
workmen into the dust, destroy un-
ionism, wreck the families of the
wage earners-or so the c. I. o.
shouted. Well, as far as I am con-
cerned, I fail to see why the c. 1. o.
picked the Chamber of Commerce.
It is so thoroughly discredited that
it hasn't had any influence at the
capitol in 10 years. Why anyone
should think that the Chamber of
Commerce could have started
movement as strong as the present
demand for change of the labor act
is quite beyond me. But that was
what the c. 1. o. charged. 1t may
have been what Senator Wagner
meant
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-04-27

ton. In any event, there are now
senators and Representatives spon-
soring a hatfull of amendments to
the law, and large number of these
amendments are being promoted by
the A. F. of L. lobby at the capitol.
There is one amendment, for in
stance, that proposes to disband the
present three-man board and sup
plant it with five-man board. That,
of course, is the political maneuver
to get rid of people with whom con-
gress is Disguised. The amendment
is by Senator Walsh, Massachusetts
Democrat.
Senator Walsh also has introduced
several other amendments, one Of
which, in particular, is worth noting.
1t would attempt, at least, to elimi-
nate "prejudicial delays" That
sounds rather academic. 1t is, how
ever, important because, according
to the A. F. of L. explanation, de-
lays by the board have worked, or
have been used, to the advantage of
c. I. o. If the c. 1. o. was not sure
that it had majority, according to
the other union, rather thinly dis
guised reasons for delays were
brought up. Then, c. I. o. organic
ers would start their drives.
Watcher the A. F. of L. charges
are true and whether the criticisms
of employers have been justified, it
remains as fact that c. I. o. is
now opposing amendment to the act.

No Course Students
Disdain Life. of Ease

PRINCETON, N. 1.-THE popular
conception that honor students at
Princeton university who win ''no-
course" privileges in the second
term of their senior year lead a
life of ease has been dispelled by
survey revealing the majority of the
no-course men to be taking their
usual courses, few attending addi-
tional lectures and many pursuing
unusual thesis work.

Forty-three seniors are studying
under the plan, having qualified by
maintaining first-group average in
their departments of study during
junior year and the first term of
senior year. They are exempt from
all courses in the spring term, but
must write theses and take the usual
senior comprehensive examinations.
Only two men, however, are at
tending as few as two courses. All
the qualifiers are taking whatever
basic departmental subjects they
have missed as underclassmen.

Nazis Ban sMongrep Non-Coms

In their eagerness to prevent any
soldier of the Third Reich from be-

mand of a "non-Aryan," the Nazi
army authorities have decreed that
no "mongrel," i. e., a man with one
Jewish grandparent, may be made
a lance corporal, according to Ber-
lin dispatch to the New Yorker
Staats-Zeitung. Thus the require

Relief

His 1899 relief vote may be rec
ord on which many senator and
congressman will rise or fall next
election. Reason: Congress is de-
termined to outlaw the present sys-
tenn, substituting something closer
akin to state administration in which
states will also pay bigger share.
If the plan succeeds, fine; if not,
disgruntled relief clients could make
hostile constituents at election time.

Signs Of Impending Trouble for
National Labor Relations Board
Advocates of Amendment of Wagner Act Grow More
Vocferous; Law Itself and Its Administration Cause
Widespread Criticism; Some Expert Sailing.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington, d. c.

WASHINGTON.-It was only a
few years ago that any politician,
seeking a harvest of votes, would
rather have cut off his right arm
than offend organized labor. In
close fight, the labor vote held the
balance of power. Labor unions
forged ahead with remarkable force.
But labor started fighting within
its own ranks and there came the
c. I. o. Rather, John Lewis, the
leader of the mine workers, got am
bilious and broke away from the
old established and respected Amer
lean Federation of Labor and gave
birth to the Congress of Industrial
Organizations.
So, many politicians, including
President Roosevelt, turned to c. I.
o., because it was modern, stream
lined, aggressive. 1t appeared, for
a time, that c. 1. o. was going to
be the big power among the work
ers. Having that advantage, c. I. o.
went to town, as the football players
say. Its strength was manifest in
congress and under the impetus of
c. I. o. force, Senator Wagner, the
New York Democrat, brought forth
the national labor relations act, I'M
der which the national labor rela-
tions board was appointed and be-
gan functioning.
That much is history.
But now there are signs of i'm
pending trouble for the national la
Dor relations board. With it's main
support, the c. I. O., having its trou-
bles in collecting dues, and with
the peace efforts of President Roose-
welt who sought to get union men
of the United States back in one
organization having failed dismally,
the labor board is up against it. In
fact, to summarize the situation in
the homely expression of my boy
hood home: it looks like the swash-
buckling, defiant calf is just about
ready to choke itself because of too
much rope. 1t may not happen in
this session of congress, but it will
happen before long. Why? The an
swer is that organized labor, as rep
resented by the Lewis faction, made
the same mistake as greedy big
business frequently makes. It be-
came arrogant; it bit off more than
it could chew. The reaction has
now set in

Demands for Amendment of
Labor Act GrolD Noisier

Advocates or amendment OF the
Wagner labor act have been knock
ing at the door a long time. Re
Gently, the knocking has resembled
sledge hammer pounding. A very
large number of senators and repre-
sentatives have heard it.
AS matter of fact, it was Mr..
Roosevelt's efforts to get A. F. of L.
and c. I. o. back into a single ma
tional union that has delayed the
moves in congress looking to amend
ment of the labor law. C. I. O.,
having stood by the President when
he was a candidate and having
fought for his cause time after time,
was entitled to the Presidents serv-
ices as peace negotiator. Many
persons thought there would be a
happy reunion, but there was no
chance at all from the very outset
of the negotiations, and the affair
did nothing to lift Mr.. Roosevelt's
prestige, especially in the rural
areas where c. I. 0. and sit-down
strikes have much the same mean
ing.
While the administrators plans
for a union reunion were slipping,
there came that sensational verdict
by a federal court jury in Philadel-
phia which assessed 100000 dam
ages against the sit-down strikers
in a hosiery plant. The damages
were assessed directly against the
men who did the Job, and thus for
the first time a responsibility, as
well as right, was given to labor.
The right to strike long has been es-
tablished and labor must guard it;
never before, however, had there
been a court determination that liza
bility also exists if damage is done.
It is unnecessary here to review
what the labor relations board has
been doing. Time after time, it has
been accused of dancing to the bag
pipes played by c. 1. o. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, among
other critics, has charged it with
rank c. I. o. favoritism. The board
does not consist of persons capable
of winning very much respect. True,
believe they have very alert and
fast-moving minds, but cannot help
regarding them as without any trace
of judicial temperament. Without
doubt, the country would be better
off had all three members been
busted months ago.
