Wagner Act

or modification before transcript Of
a case record has been filed in
court.
Likewise, Mr.. Fahy criticized a
Burke proposal that the court might
suspend the accrual of remedial
financial damages against the re-
spondent during an appeal action.
If, in fact, an employe was de-
prived Of his job in violation of the
act, why should he. rather than the
violator Of the law, bear the loss
of wages during protracted litiga-
ton? The courts have uniformly
upheld provisions in board orders
requiring the payment of back pay."
Meanwhile, 1t was learned that
yesterdays appointment of DR.. Will
lMm M. Leiserson as a member of
the board was calculated to elm
mate some of the criticism being di-
rected at the board and some of the
pressure being exerted in support OF
rewriting the Wagner Act. It was
aimed particularly at countering a
quiet but strong House drive to re-
place the present board in its en-
tirety with a new five man tribunal
With resolution pending in the
House for an investigation of the
Labor Board. opponents of the board
and OF the law in its present form
have been claiming sufficient
strength to force the inquiry unless
the House Labor Committee speeds
consideration of desired amend
ments. In the course of seeking a
compromise in this play of power
politics, it was learned that a pend
ing proposal to replace the present
three-nan board with a five-man
group chosen to give wider geo.
graphic representation has received
increasing attention.
In itself the appointment of DR..
Leiserson in the place of Donald
Wakefield Smith, now serving in a
recess appointment but under bitter
fire from several quarters. is looked
on not only as wise political move.

Roosevelt and as regards sugges-
tions for the further course of world
events"
Britain's decision to introduce
conscription will be regarded by
Germany as strictly British affair
unless political motives are behind
1t, an official spokesman said.
Germany has always taken the
position that the question of defense
is every nations own affair."" he
added.
Hence, If England decides all
her young, bodied men should
bear arms, that is something we
fully understand.
LAS far as we have been able to
learn, however, England seems to
have been influenced by strong pres
sure from France, Poland and to
some degree Rumania and Greece.
Attitude May Be Different.
IF that is the case and it becomes
obvious from debate in the House
of Lords and the House of Commons
that England has acted for reasons
of international policy rather than
pure defense needs, out attitude will
naturally be different one"
The spokesman pointed out COM
ment this morning in the Naz:
partys official organ, Hitler's news
paper Voelkischer Beobachter. which
termed the British move "provoca-
ton"
Newspapers in general character
lied the British conscription plan as
a means of applying pressure" to
the German foreign Office.
Yugoslavs Value Reich Relations,
Cinca- a-Markovich told the official
German News Bureau that Yugo-
slavia values her relations with Ger
many most highly" and will fos-
ter them most carefully
These relations are developing
favorably, he added, underscoring
that there are no questions which
could not be discussed by RESPONSE
bic representatives of Germany and
Yugoslavia in spirit of confidence
to deepen our friendly relations and
to serve the work of peace in this
part of Europe"

were regarded here as of unusual
importance
A Wilhelmstrasse spokesman said
the foreign minister also was sup
plying information to Hitler for the
Reichstag address.
It was learned on good authority
the German foreign Office had re-
ceived answers from IA states tc
questions put to them by the Ger
man government as to whether they
felt themselves threatened by Ger
many, whether they had urged
President Roosevelt to send his
non-aggression appeal and whether

FL CENTRO, Cal, May 20.-Major General George Moseley, linked by Chairman Martin Dies and the Committee on UnAmerican Activ- ities as "the boss" of an anti-Semitic movement in the United States, re- piled today to accusations, in a formal statement.
 The General said he is in the Cali fornia Imperial Valley Investigating unAmerican activities and that he has not received a subpoena to ap- pear before the Dies committee.
 Do the American people not real ize that we are in the midst of the greatest battle in our history?' asked Moseley. "A battle to keep America out of a second World War and save ourselves from those enemies prospering today within our gates?
 And as the Dies committee mem- bers have found these enemies are in key positions in Federal agencies and projects, how strange it is that patriots can discuss openly and frankly problems involving Irish, Italian and German and all, but let them mention any international ism or zionism, and their increasing control in America, then he is at tackled on all sides.
 Even his life may be threatened. If I may be permitted to give a message to the American people, it is to unite periodically and lawfully and save our Republic now before it is too late.'
