DR.. Myer Solis-Cohen, chairman

The Senate yesterday unanimous

1--WE in this country are not ready

Three Important Smith

Refused by Committee
BY the Associated Press,

The House Labor Committee re-
fused yesterday to yield in its
opposition to drastic revision of the
Wagner Act. Representative Hotf-
man, Republican, of Michigan had
sought another vote on rejected
proposal to create an entirely new
five-man Labor Board, saying that
in his absence his proxy had been
voted against the proposal, con-
trary to his wishes.
The committee, however, voted,
II to 7, against reopening the ques-
ton. 1t then discarded three other
foundation stones of the Smith in
vestigating committees II recon-
mendations. These would:
Say that an employer, during
contract negotiations with a union,
would not have to put any agree
ment into writing.
Let an employer discuss any sub
ject with his workers, providing he
did not use coercion or intimidation.
Prevent the Labor Board from
aiding any worker convicted Of
Willful violence or destruction of
property.
Chairman Norton said the Labor
Committee would resume consider
alton OF the remaining Smith COM
mittee proposals next Tuesday. The
vote on this decision was 8 to 8.
Meanwhile, Labor Board Chair
man j. Warren Madden described
as obvious nonsense" charges by
Mapes Davidson, a former trial ex-
aminer, that the agency fostered
Communists and kindred radicals" !"
Mr.. Davidson made his charges
at Orange, N. j.. Monday in an
open letter announcing his resig-
nation.
Mr.. Madden said in a statement:
Davidson was on the staff of the
board for two and one-half years,
and if he thought during that time
that he had discovered Communist
activities in the staff it was his
clear duty to advise me as the re-
sponsible head of the organization
HE never intimated to me or to
Mr.. George Pratt, his superior, any
such thought.
After request last Friday that
he be allowed for his private con-
venience to do his work away from
