"The only justification for such

General Thurman Arnold to discuss
the antitrust drive in the building
industry.

conference yesterday. John p.

Of the monopoly laws against labor

denial by employers Of the right
of employees to organize and the re-
tusal by employers to accept the
procedure of collective bargaining
leads to strikes. etc, has been
changed in the amendments recon-
mended to a simple statement that
the failure to bargain collectively
between employers and employees
leads to strikes, etc. In the opin-
ion of the committee the present
language Of the act constitutes an
indictment of employers generally
which is not justified by the facts.
The second change made in the
language of the findings and decla-
ration of policy by the amendments
recommended is the elimination of
the statement that it is the policy
Of the United States to encourage
the practice and procedure of COL
lective bargaining. In the opinion
of the committee Congress should
do everything in its power to pro-
tect the exercise by workers Of that
right. but should not require the
board to encourage unionization
where employees do not want it.
~ Under the amendments recon-
niended, the committee, by changes
In the definition of the word EN-
sploye," proposes to write into the
act the rule announced by the Su-
preme Court in the Fansteel case
1880, 3O6 U. s. 24o, with respect
to the right of an employe who has
engaged in violence or unlawful
destruction or seizure Of property
to be reinstated by order Of the
board. If a preponderance of the
testimony taken shows that an en-
ploye has willfully engaged in these
unlawful activities, the board is
to have no power to order such en-
ploye reinstated.
Questions have arisen under the
present act as to whether the act

ponderance of the evidence. An ap-
pellate court accepts the findings of
the trier of facts if those findings
are supported by substantial evi-
dence, because an appellate court is
not in position to weigh evidence,
not having heard the testimony,
seen the witnesses, observed their
demeanor, and not being expert in
evaluating testimony in a highly
specialized field. Because the court
cannot weigh the evidence, however,
does not mean that the trier of facts
should make findings with an eye to
court review rather than with an eye
to determining where the truth lies
on a preponderance of the evidence
before it. Hence, the committee rec
ommends that the board be required
to make findings upon a preponder-
ance of the evidence in the same
manner as every other trier of facts.
Effect Of Board Findings
On Court Review.
Under the present law, the boards

on the courts If they are supported
by substantial evidence. While it is
true that the Consolidated Edison
case t1o39, 305 U. S. 1o7 broadened
to some extent the concept Of what
evidence was deemed substantial, the
mature of the controversies which
the board is called upon to decide,
such as the determination Of an en-
ployer's true motive for discharge
ing an employe, are such that the
courts ought to be given more power
than they now have under the pres
ent law to review the boards find.
ings Of fact.
Thus, an additional standard Is
prescribed under which the court
can overturn such findings. Under
the amendments recommended, such
findings are conclusive unless they
are clearly erroneous, or unless they
are not supported by substantial
evidence.

selves" the minority said.
"But we believe that the proposed
amendments, agreed upon by the
majority Of the committee, are in
fact emasculatory and threaten the
principles, purposes and objectives
Of the act.

our disagreement with the majority
Of the committee resulted from q
vote on the question Of adoption Of

Bill of Rights. Hence, a clarifying
change is made in Section 8 % Of
the act to provide that nothing
therein is to be construed or inter-
preted as prohibiting any express
sions of opinion with respect to any
matter which may be of interest to
employees or to the general public,
provided that such expressions of
opinion are not accompanied by acts
or threats of discrimination, intim-
idation, or coercion.
Rules of Evidence
Would Be Applied.
Under the present law, the rules
of evidence prevailing in the courts
of law or equity are not controlling
in board hearings. This require
ment, and it has been construed as
requirement by the boards trial
examiners, has had the effect Of
making records unduly long, as well
as permitting the board to make
findings based upon, and to draw
inferences from, evidence which un-
der the most liberal rules would
never be admissible in a court of law.
The character of controversies which
the board decides is not such that
the rules of evidence must be res
laxed to any great extent in order
that substantial justice may be done
or vigorous enforcement of the act
effected. Thus, the committee has
recommended that the proceedings
before the board, or before its trial
examiners, shall, so far as prac-
ticable, be conducted In accordance
with the rules of evidence applicable
In the district courts Of the United
States under the rules of civil pro-
cedure adopted by the Supreme
Court.
Preponderance of Evidence
To Decide Finding of Fact.
Under the present law, the board
Is required to issue an order if upon
all the testimony taken it is of the
opinion that the person complained
against has engaged in an unfair
labor practice. The hearings before
the committee indicate that the
board has confused its functions un-
der this requirement with the func-
ton of the court in relation to find.

CARELESS CAMPERS
MAR FIRE RECORD
IN NATL FOREST.

Going through half of August with
but one fire in the LaCroix and Ka-
wishiwi districts, the u. S. forest SER
vice had a record of some kind broken
this week when campers, berry pickers,
and lightning touched off five blazes.
-Four fires were started Monday,
three by campers and one by lightning.
The man-made fires were on Farm and
Big lakes and Eastwood river, and the
one nature set off on Eugene lake.
Wednesday, berry pickers started one a
mile south of Ely on No. l.
The Eastwood river fire was put out
by a group of girls, headed by Miss
Alice Newgord, who discovered it. They
reported it to Guard Tommy Thompson
at the LaCroix cabin. The others were
discovered by towermen and were ex-
tinguished by forest service crews.
The one fire during the first two and
half weeks of the month was a new
low for this time of the year.

RICE HARVEST
Draws MANY

Wild rice harvesting drew 2,514 per-
sons to Minnesota lakes during the
season last year.
Conservation Department officials, re-
porting on the number of ricing licenses
sold during initial operation of the
regulatory law in 1889, said 933 of the
total went to Indiana
A breakdown of the Indian total
showed 1913 licenses were purchased by
full-blooded Indians, 152 by three
quarter bloods, 1872 by half-bloods, 81
by quarter bloods, and the remaining
165 to other Indians.
Fifty-four wild rice buyers licenses
were issued during 1885,
Meanwhile officials looked for a later
! ricing season this year. Water con.
ditions are such, the Conservation De.
partment announced, that areas which
were riced last year in late August may
not ripen this season until early
September
