CommodityPrice
Chongesin Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Commod-
ity prices edged forward this week
as demand for both industrial and
farm staples sharpened.
The upturn was moderate, how
ever, because some important items
declined heavily.
The Associated Press weighted in
dex of 35 important wholesale spot
commodity prices advanced to 66.34
from 66.29 the week before and COM
pared with 7128 last year.
Although business activity con-
tinued to slide, industrial raw ma
terials were buoyant. Steel scrap
moved up to the highest levels since
October, 1887, as bids were advanced
in the Chicago area. Tin also felt
the tug of rising demand.
Lumber Marked Up.
Lumber was marked up substan-
tally, with demand from building
supply concerns running heavier
than production. Residential con-
struction dipped fractionally, but re-
manned close to the nine-year high
established as 1888 ended. Linseed
oil and rubber climbed little, while
turpentine slipped back.
Textiles followed diametricaily op-
posite courses, silk soaring to a two
year peak and cotton cloth slumping
to the lowest levels in several years.
A tight supply and demand Situa-
tlon in the raw material boosted silk.
Cotton cloth, on the other hand, has
met slack demand from dealers
partly because of the oversupply OF
raw fiber, evidenced by the l1,OOO,-
600 bales controlled by the Govern
ment.
Grains Again Higher.
Grains pointed up for the second
week, led by corn, wheat and oats.
Unfavorable weather reports were
said to account for most of the i'm
provement. Rye weakened some-
What, as did cotton.
Livestock was quiet. The only net
change on the week was turned in
by hogs, which managed small
gain. The food price index gave
ground slightly as heavily-weighted
eggs nose-dived. Sugar, cocoa and
lard all moved ahead.
The index, with its components
based on 1926 as 100, compared as

REPLIES Intent Of
Labor Act Followed
Defends Record of
Himself and Board in
Answer to Eberhurter

lnvalidation of approximately a
score of employer-employe contracts
by the National Labor Relations
Board has been in full compliance
with the meaning and intent of the
Labor Relations Act, Donald Wake
field Smith, board member serving in
a recess reappointment, has informed
Representative Eberharter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania in response
to the latter's written query.
Defending his own record and
that of the board, both under fire
from the A. F. of L., Mr.. Smith
wrote:
Before the National Electric
Products case, the first in which an
A. F. of L. contract was set aside,
the board had invalidated contracts
In three cases on the ground that
the contracting union had been il
legally favored and assisted by the
employer and that the execution Of
the contract itself was an unfair
labor practice. Each one of these
three cases was instituted by charges
filed by the A. F. of l.. Since the
National Electric Products case Is
illegal contracts were set aside on
charges filed by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Decisions Unanimous.
"The board could not in good con-
science, or good sense, adopt differ
ent rule when it was faced with lille
gal contracts which happened to be
executed by an employer and ma
tionally affiliated local. In every
one of these cases the board decision
invalidating the contract was unani-
nous. These decisions are believed
to be consistent with the intent OF
Congress in view of the proviso of
section 8 90 of the act, which de-
clares that a closed shop contract
Is valid only if the contracting union
has not been assisted by any action
defined in the act as an unfair labor
practice and only if such union rep
resents a majority of the employees
in the appropriate collective bar
gaining unit covered by the contract
when made.
1.-THE evidence in these cases
showed that the employer had IA
vored the contracting union through
unfair labor practices or that the
contracting union did not represent
a majority of the employees within
the appropriate unit covered by the
agreement when made"
Denies Antagonistic Tie.
Mr.. Smith denied that he had
Joined with Board Member Edwin
Smith to form a majority antag
enistic toward the A. F. of L. and
cited many cases in which he Joined
with Chairman j. Warren Madden
in ruling that employees should be
allowed to make their own choice of
whether they desired TO be repre-
sented by C. I. o. industrial union
or a Federation craft union.
In this regard, he pointed out that
the issue between the two labor
factions is not always clearly drawn
on these lines, and that on numer-
Gus occasions the Federation has
requested a more inclusive indus
trial unit than the G. I. O."
