The Political Mill
Call for Peace in Lobors Warning Comps May Gain
New Deal Objective Of Holting Amendments to Act

amendments now pending in Con-
gress. Chairman Thomas of the
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor, giving as his reason for delay
the appeal of the President to the
presidents of the two labor organiza-
tions, announced yesterday that the
hearings on proposed amendments
Of the act, which he had promised
for March 10, would be indefinitely
postponed.
Amendment of the Labor Relations
Act Is one Of the things which busi-
ness has been awaiting, believing
that the act is entirely too one sided,
with all the emphasis in favor of the
labor unions. Now, within few days
after the friendly pronouncement
toward business made by Secretary
Hopkins, 1t looks as though the New
Dealers are not inclined to begin
consideration of amendments to the
act unless they are actually forced
to do so.
Senator Thomas attitude is that
to begin the hearings as he had
planned would have brought the C.
I. O. and the A. F.. of L. into violent
opposition before the Senate COM
mittee on proposed amendments to
the Labor Relations Act. The
amendments suggested by the Fed
Grafton would have been the first
subject to come up in the hearings.
The c. I. o. is opposing any amend
ment. Senator Thomas holds that
such controversy might have tended
to hinder If not prevent any peace
agreement between the two labor
organizations. So consideration OF
amendments Of the act will go over
for several weeks If not longer.
Critics Recall Questioning.
Critics of the National Labor Re-
lations Board recalled today that
when Edwin S. Smith. member
OF the board, was before the House
Appropriations Committee not long
ago and was asked if he believed
sit-down strikes illegal. he replied
that was matter for the courts to
decide. He added that a majority
Of the court decisions had held them
illegal, but that there had been a
minority OF court decisions uphold
ing the legality of sit-down strikes.
He was asked, after the hearing was
over, to furnish list of the .olrt
decisions upholding the legality Of
sit-down strikes-and was able to
produce not single one.
The President before long will
have to fish or cut bait in the matter
of reappointing Donald Wakefield
Smith, member of the Labor Re-
lations Board. Mr.. Smith, it is said,
would not stand a ghost of a show
of being confirmed by the Seante
If his nomination is sent in.

Filipino Challenges
independence Act
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated treSS.
Braulio M. Gancy, Filipino attor-
ney, challenged the constitutionality
of the Philippine Independence Act
yesterday at a Territories Senate
Committee hearing on modification
of the law.
Preferential trade relations be-
tween the United States and the
Philippines would be prolonged IS
years after the islands obtained DO
litical independence in 1946 under
legislation supported by both the
Roosevelt and Quezon administra-
tions.
Congress has no right" Mr..
Gancy declared, Ito ALLEVIATE soy
ereignty over a Territory"
He contended the entire common
wealth government of President
Quezon was illegal and unconsti-
tutional.
Mr.. Gancy previously had carried
his contention to Federal Court here.
Judge Oscar Luhring threw the suit
out of court.

have been discharged because they
INDUCED in a sit-down strike.
The demand of the labor board
sounds almost fantastic. It is that
kind of demand, however, that has
made the labor board unpopular
with a good many people In this
country and has caused agitation
for amendment of the Labor Rela-
tions Act, and for remaking of the
labor board personnel.
In the early days of the sit-down
strike, when the c. I. o. was going
strong, high officials of the Roose-
welt administration declined fatty
to comment on the legality or lille
gality Of the sit-down strike. Not
a peep came from the White House
or from the Department of Labor,
when wholehearted denunciation
of the sit-down technique, which is
no more nor less than trespass,
might have been extremely salutary.
Became Election Issue.
The sit-down strike, however,
turned out to be an issue in the 1898
political campaign, and its critics
were found in large numbers among
the farmers of the country. 1t was
an issue which had considerable to
do with the loss of Ohio to the
Democrats, and also Michigan. In
both States the Republicans elected
Governors and increased their con-
gressional strength. Pennsylvania
turned fatty against the C. I. o.
backed Democratic candidates. both
IN the party primary and in the
general election.
Comment by high administration
officials, declaring the sit-down
strike illegal, has been more common
in recent months. Members of the
cabinet and others have admitted.
under questioning, that they believed
the sit-downers violate the law. And
decidedly sentiment has been antag-
onistic to this kind of activity ever
since the outburst of sit-down strikes
in the winter Of 1867 C. I. O..
lost caste very greatly because some
OF Its unions engaged in such strikes.
Before the period of sit-down strikes,
1t looked very much as though the
c. I. o. was about to walk roughshod
over its veteran rival, the American
Federation Of Labor. Gradually,
however, the pendulum swung in
favor of the A. F. OF L.
The Federation has claimed again
and again that the National Labor
Relations Board has played into the
hands of the c. I. O. and has worked
against the A. F. of L. Even If this
be true. however, the C. I. o. has
not moved forward as it was ex-
pected it would in opposition to the
Federation. President Roosevelt,
clearly aware that the C. I. o. is not
swallowing the Federation, has now
called upon both organizations to
appoint committees to negotiate
peace in labor's ranks, and peace
between these two great groups of
organized labor. Secretary of Com
merce Hopkins In his program for
recovery gives high place to peace
IN labor's ranks.
May Stop Acts Amendments.
The New Dealers are not anxious
to have the Labor Relations Act
amended. They have brushed aside
all demands for amendment, up to
the present. They feel that if they
can bring peace between the C. 10.
and the A. F. of L.. the chances for
preventing amendment of the act
will be much greater, since the A. F..
OF L. has been actively clamoring
for amendment and has series of
