AS matter of fact labor-both
the c. I. o. and the A. F. of L.
should have rejoiced at the mild
ness of the Smith committee amend
ments For after nearly five years
of the operation of the Wagner law,
a special House committee merely
recommends a few procedural and
administrative changes in the
operations of the board and inserts
a few amendments to protect fair
hearings. These proposals would
have been superfuous if the board

is to call for new set of Judges

policies.
Chairman Smith uttered a truism
the other day when he said not a
single one of his proposals would
have been necessary if there had
been fair and just administrative
action by the board itself, not even
the one creating a new personnel
on the labor board.
The two majority members Of the
board are putting up a fight to
retain their jobs and they are count
ing on the G. I. 0. to do the fight
ing for them in the future as N the
past, The spectacle of two gov
ernmental officials engineering a
fight in Congress whereby their po-
sitions are untouched by new law
is an interesting one 1t shows how
governmental power can be mis-
used to perpetuate a bureaucratic
regime. Congress does lot of talk
ing about the Hatch law. but in
front of its eyes is fragrant vio-
lation of Federal statutes by the
labor board and no prosecutions are
ordered. Indeed, the Congress is
being besought to keep in public
Office two members of the board who
have been revealed by the testi
monv to have violated the principles
of fair dealing in their conduct of
public office.
Seeks to Whip Up Sentiment.
The c. I. O., or course, will try
to give the impression that the
Wagner law is about to be wrecked
A hue and cry is already being set
up through the C. 1. o. organlza-
tionS with a view to whipping up
public sentiment against the Smith
amendments, which. in fact. are
about the tamest proposals that
have come out of an investigating
committee in a long. long while.
The heart and soul of the Wagner
Act is the list of unfair labor prac-
tices which an employer alone can
commit. These are unchanged
Nothing is added to the act and
nothing is subtracted that touches
the right of collective bargaining
If the American Federation of Labor
doesn't announce its whole hearted
support of the Smith amendments,
it will be only because of a fear
of the c. I. 0. attack, as the Smith
amendments are almost parallel
with those asked by the American
Federation OF Labor conventions
and executive council meetings.
The Smith amendments relate to
procedure They assure a fair trial
to-the citizen and merely write into
law what the Supreme Court of
the United States said in the Jones
e. Laughlin case, But the C. I. o.
does not want the board to be
limited in any way 1t wants the
board to continue to be used as an
ally of the c. l. o. If the C. I. O.
had said in it's announcement that
the Smith amendments will prevent
any group or faction in the labor
field from having an improper re-
lationship with the labor board, the
statement would have been an &C

Much misrepresentation has been

NEW YORK, June 27.-Mild rally
ing tendencies prevailed in today's
stock market as Wall Street took a
more hopeful slant at the domestic
political picture and displayed a
little less nervousness over war moves

Gains for favorites ranged from
fractions to 2 or more points in the
forenoon, but dealings were sluggish
throughout. Prices were cut in most
cases at the close. Transfers were
around 100000 shares.
Financial quarters had eyes and
ears mainly for the Republican Ma

commission houses placed nearly as
many Wagers on candidates as they
did commitments in stocks.

rooms and some war infants" had
trouble in making themselves
heard. The idea that Hitler and
the British might come to terms
was credited mainly for a sharp
upturn in the free" pound sterling
and Canadian dollar. New Rus
sian-Rumanian developments served
to puzzle rather than stimulate
traders.
Alrcrafts, utilities, rails and
chemicals were in front the great
er part of the day.
Among bolstering factors of the
session was the announcement

the third successive week, were up
