Roosevelt Is Told
House May Force
n. |. R. B. Inquiry
Vote This Session on
Wagner Act Changes
Declared Alternative
By the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt has been told
by some of his closest Congressional
friends that unless Congress gets
a chance to vote on Wagner Act
amendments this session, a House
investigation of the National Labor
Relations Board is inevitable.
This became known yesterday as
influential House members started
quiet campaign to obtain support
for an investigation resolution
which Representative Cox, Demo-
rat, Of Georgia. has introduced.
Mr.. Cox said he would ask the
Rules Committee to approve his
resolution unless the Labor Commit
tee reports amendments lin time
for action this session"
Some Democrats privately ex-
pressed the opinion that the House
would certainly adopt, if brought to
the floor, a resolution to create a
special committee to inquire during
the summer and fall into the Board S
activities and report back jan
uary /.
Legislation Is Introduced.
The inquiry would look into quail
ifications of the three Board men,
bers and all regional directors and
trial examiners and the arguments
that the law should be amended.
Representative Anderson, DEM
ocrat, of Montana, already has in
troduced legislation for such an in
vestigation and informed persons
said similar one was being drafted
by other legislators.
Representative Cox said either
would be approved by the Rules
Committee, of which he is a men,
ber, and he predicted the only floor
opposition would come from staunch
New Dealers.
Representative Martin OF Massa-
chusetts, the minority leader. agreed
with Mr.. Cox. He expressed the
opinion that about 95 per cent" OF
the 168 Republican members would
give their approval That would
mean the resolution would have to
receive the support of only about so
of the 260-odd Democrats
Advocates of changes in the law
have complained that it appeared
that neither the Senate nor the
House Labor Committee intended to
report amendments at this session.
Hearings Started Month Ago.
The House Labor Committee be-
gan hearings four weeks ago. but
has heard only five authors of
amendments, Chairman J. Warren
Madden of the N. l.. r. B., and
Evening star., 1939-06-04

Charles Fahy, board counsel. Chair
man Norton said the committee
might hear other board representa-
tives and G. I. o. and A. F. l.. rep
resentatives before closing the hear
ings and starting study of the
amendments behind closed doors.
Only three or four of the Is COM
mittee members have attended the
hearings and one member said pri-
vately the reason for the absences
was that they simply don't expect
anything to happen"
The determination of some House
members to press for amendments
at his session was strengthened by
reports that businessmen had
strongly urged President Roosevelt
to use his influence to obtain
changes in the law.
Business leaders who dined at the
White House Thursday and dis
cussed current economic problems
with Mr.. Roosevelt were said to have
told him amendment of the law was
one of the foremost needs for re-
covery.
Aggressive Efforts Urged.
w. Gibson Carey, jr.. president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, in letter to members yes
terday said businessmen must be
aggressive" in their efforts to see
that everything possible was done
"by Government and business to en-
courage a balanced recovery"
AS to the Labor Relations Act, he
said:
There should be immediate
amendments which will clarity def
nitely the rights of both employees
and employers. The objective must
be to have the Government a neu-
trail, eager only to further industrial
peace. Full judicial review of all
findings and decisions should be
provided.
The only chance remaining for
remedial legislation at this session
lies in widespread and immediate
demands of businessmen and their
organizations

man Dies

Word was received Friday of the
death of Frank E. Harman, former
prominent Lima citizen, at the home
of his nephew, William Moore, in
Indianapolis, Thursday. Harman
had been a resident of Lima until
three years ago.
To Harman is credited the busi-
ness sector at Elizabeth and Market

in N. Main street to the Kresge in
terests, Harman bought from The
Times Democrat the plot at the
southwest corner of the intersection
and erected what is still known as
the Harman block, occupied by a
grocery concern.
1t was largely through the efforts
of Harman that the Union Savings
and Loan together with Harry
Thomas, grocer, built on the opposite
corner the now present City Loan
block, while across the street where
once stood the Y. M. c. A. He in
duced the late G. E. Bluem to pur-
chase and build the present Penney
