House Resolution

Committee

A resolution calling for appoint
ment of an independent committee
of 10 House members to investigate
the personnel of the National La
bor Relations Board was introduced
today by Representative Anderson,
Democrat, of Missouri.
Under the resolution the commit
tee would be appointed by the

quired to report to Congress by June

Act designed to produce harmony

Representative Anderson, a sharp
critic of the Labor Board, last week
introduced a bill designed to shear
the Labor Board of its judicial func-

United States District Courts.

The Missourian appealed to House
members today to support his in
vestigation resolution, saying he be-
lieved such an inquiry would lead
to better relations between capital
and labor and aid in a general up
turn in business.
Meanwhile, widespread support,
tempered with some opposition, had
developed for the Wagner Act
amendments sponsored by the
American Federation of Labor and
introduced in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts
The proposed amendments, 16 in
number, are designed to give en-
ployers and craft unions more rights
and represent an effort by the A. F
