CHAMBER AGAIN
ATTACKS N.L.R.B.
U. S. Trade Body To Poll Its
Members On Labor Act
RevisiOns

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-R-
The United States Chamber of
Commerce, voicing fresh criticism
of the national labor relations act,
announced today that it's member
ship would be polled on four pro-
posed changes in the law.
The questions to be submitted IN
the mail referendum were describ-
ed as conclusions reached by n
chambers committee on manufac-
ture. They are whether there
should be:
Elimination of the majority rule
provision so that an employer
would be required to bargain with
a labor organization only as rep
resentative of those workers VINO
had given the union express au-
thority to represent them.
withdrawal of protection OF the
act from employees during IN such
time as they violated terms OF an
agreement reached through collect
ing bargaining.
Extension of the act to cover un-
fair labor practices by employees
or their representatives.
Insertion in the act of a "clear
definition of the extent of inter-
state commerce in which an en-
ployer must engage before ne
comes under the act.
The report said that the law con
fers no rights and bestows no
benefits" on the unorganized work
err and that so far as he was con-
cerned the zone possible effect
would be to increase the pres
sure which a union may apply to
force him into membership with
it's accompanying fee, dues and as
sessments."

Swiss Army's Chief
Renews Pledge 10
Defend Alps Passage
Guisun Warns Nation Of
War on 649th Anniversary
Of Union of Cuntons
BY the Associated Press.


BERN, Switzerland, Aug. L.
Gen. Henrio Guisan pledged the
Swiss Army anew today to defend
the passage of the Alps "to the end"
In broadcast on the 649th ami
versary of the first oath of union
of the Swiss cantons. He spoke first
in French and then in German.
The commander of the army
warned this nation, which is holding
steadfastly to neutrality and inde-
pendence amid the Eu:opea con-
f1ict, that "the war is not ended;
the armistice is not a peace"
Swore Defense With Lives.
He recalled that all soldiers in the
nations citizen army of more than
100000 were sworn to defend the
nation with their lives when general
mobilization began a year ago.
I'VE took the oath like our fore
fathers on Rutli Plains" he said.
"Our watchward, our pledge, re-
mains the same. We guard the pas
sage of the Alps-guard them to
the end"
His speech marked Switzerland's
celebration of what one neutral
diplomat called the miracle of
1940"-the continued independence
and neutrality of this little democ-
racy amid belligerence and totali-
tarianism.
For the rest of the world this is
the 26th anniversary of Germany's
entry into the World War with her
declaration on war on Russia.
Joyful Celebration.
But for Switzerland it is the an
niversary of the pact, sworn to
secretly on Ruth Meadow, which
was the beginning of the Swiss
Union for Liberty and independence.
The national holiday assumed
new significance, one of joyful cele-
bration that Switzerland has been
spared invasion.
Before sundown tonight thousands
will climb mountain peaks in the
Alps and the Jura to watch FOR the
first flare of light from bonfires set
ablaze on hundreds of peaks as a
reminder that the three original
cantons kept united by signaling
with such fires.

This year, the powder factory's
employees, seeing ducks starving ano
freezing to desth on the Potomac
ice have been chasing the wolves
from the doors of some 1000 ducks
ever since tough weather set In.
There's one thing, however, from
which they can't save the fowl
duck hawks and bald eagles. The
eagles, in role entirely out of keep
ing with their exalted role as ma
tional emblem, find starving and
1ce-bound ducks an easy prey. A
more than normal number of the
birds now haunt nearby woods ready
to swoop on their victims, at times
as many as Is reported coming into

Kept Hale and Hearty.
H. M. CoSter, Superintendent of
acid plants at the factory, yesterday
described how two large 1ocks have
been kept hale and hearty near the
banks of Mattawoman Greek, right
in the factory's front yard.
A duck hunter and conservation
ist, when he's not turning out acid
for the Navy, Mr.. Coster organized
his duck relief corps several weeks
ago.
Down where warm water (it con-
tains no acid) is discharged from
the factory into Mattawoman Greek,
there's strip of water where the
ice doesn't get much show. It's here
that canvasback, black and gray
mallards, blackheads (scaup), and
many other members of the duck
tribe get their daily corn, some loose
and some on the cob.
Some canvasback have become Sc
tame they keep on eating even
when someone is throwing food
out to them.
The two focks of ducks, one o1
1000 and another Of 5000 farther
away from the factory, swim in
the open water and waddle of
to digest their dinners on the ice
at safe distance, just as if they
thought the corn might be come
on.
Ducks Feet Frozen.
When the weather was coolest
some of the ducks had their feet
frozen to the ice and were struggling
to the point of exhaustion, Mr.
Coster said.
Some of the men crawled out
on the treacherous ice and blew
on the ducks feet until they
thawed out. We put them in a pen
on shore and now they're all right
again." he said.
