On Record Against
J. 5. Labor Board

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. CUP)-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
charged before the house inquiry
into the National Labor Relations
board today that the boards ad-
ministration of the Wagner Labor
act is contrary TO both the spirit
and letter" of the law.
Green declared that the AFL
stands fast on its demands for
sweeping revision of the Wagner
act as embodied in amendments in
troduced in congress last year by
Sen. David I. Walsh. D.. Mass, and
Rep. Graham A. Barden, D.. NC.
Il repeat our recommendation
that these amendments be. favor
IDLY acted upon by congress" Green
said. Il am speaking as a trend
and defender of the National Labor
Relations act. We seek to protect
the act.
I'VE are opposed to any changes
IN the fundamental provisions OF
the act"
Green described the AFT. as "a
friend of the law" but charged that
the boards administration is con-
trary to both the spirit and letter
Of the law"
I'VE charge the board with NAL
ice and bias" he said. In our
opinion the board is anything but
i judicial body. We feel the act
ought to be administered in a
careful, wise, unbiased and judicial
way. That is not being DONE"
Green demanded four principal
changes in the act He proposed:
1.-Restricting the boards pow
ars TO determine units for collec-
tive bargaining purposes to prevent
the board from denying workers
the right of self determination"
2.-Vesting in the U. S. circuit
courts of appeal powers to unoer-
take direct review of board repre-
;entation rulings upon request by

A swift footrace between officers
and two fleeing juveniles ended in
a dead heat at Seeley Thursday
morning.

At Seeley a speeding car bore
down on the officers from the west.
The car screeched to a sudden stop,
and leaving the motor running, the
occupants sprang out and ran. One
ran north and the other south
with an officer in hot pursuit of
each. They lodged frantically
among Seeley business buildings
and houses before the arrest.
William Lima Frakes, Is, Los
