C.I. 0. and n. |. R. B.
Made Life Miserable,
Says Businessman
Company Was Just
Ready to Expond,
He Tells Senators
BY the Associated Press.

s
B. o. Fink. businessman of Au-
burn, Ind, testified today his COM
pany had reached the position where
it could really expand when the
c. l. O. and the National Labor
Relations Board came along and
made life miserable for US
Before Senate Labor Subcom-
mittee, Mr.. Fink accused Labor
Board representatives of having de-
cided against him unfairly in labor
relations case.
mo business in the nature of
ours" he continude, can run sue
cessfully if portion of every day
must be spent trying to outsmart
and outwit and outmaneuver a
bunch OF racketeers and parasites
who are endowed with eloquent and
persuasive power"
Mr.. Fink, who heads the Auburn
Foundry, Inc. manufacturer of
| stokers, indorsed amendments to
the Wagner Labor Relations Act,
which have been proposed by Sem
ator Burke, Democrat. of Nebras-
ka. These would increase the mem
bership of the Labor Board from
three to five and make revisions in
the boards powers.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Fink S
testimony Chairman Thomas OBJ
served that the implication of his
statement had been that collusion
existed between the C. I. o. and the
Labor Board.
There is a certain intuitive sense
that comes to us with the years." Mr..
Fink said. 1T is that sense that I
am listening to and relying upon
when feel as do about the C. I. O.
and the Labor Board
Senator Thomas brought out that
Mr.. Fink's attorney had expressed
appreciation to a Labor Board trial
examiner for the manner in which
he had conducted a hearing. The
witness said it was common courtesy
for lawyers to make such expressions
unless hearing had been entirely
too vicious"
Meanwhile, Senator Ellender.
Democrat, of Louisiana disclosed he
was trying to persuade members OF
the Labor Board to change board
rules in an effort to forestall sweep
ing alterations in the Wagner Act.
Senator Ellender, a member of
the Labor Committee, said he had
taken the initiative because he be-
lieved opponents of the law planned
to make political capital of criticism
of its administration.
There are some things that can
be done, such as permitting employ
ers to initiate labor cases and set
ting up rules of evidence that, in
my judgment, would iron out most
of the difficulties that have caused
criticism of the board" the Senator
declared.
He already has discussed such
revisions with William M. Lesser
son, new board member. Chairman
j. Warren Madden, DR.. Leiserson
and possibly Edwin S. Smith, the
third board member, will confer
with Senator Ellender next Tues
day.
Much of the discussion is ex-
pected to center around possible
adoption by the board of rules gov-
erning the conduct of hearings by
trial examiners and the admissi-
bility of evidence.

tices, including charges that some
