House Considers
Wagner Labor Act
Changes Today
Senate Believed Likely
To PieeonhoIe Any
Amendments Voted
By the Associated Press.

By tire Associated Press.
Advocates of revising the Wagner
Labor Act forced the long-standing
question of amendments before the
House today, even though chances
for final congressional action at this
session appeared to be remote.
A group headed by Representa-
tives Smith of Virginia and Cox of
Georgia. Democrats, and Routzohn
of Ohio and Halleck of Indiana,
Republicans, insisted that the men,
bers go on record on two sets of
revisions. They agreed with sup
porters of the law, however, that
the Senate would pigeonhole any
changes approved by the House.
The House is for major changes
In the act and the Labor Board and
wants a chance to express ITSELF"
Mr. Cox said.
But Chairman Norton of the
Labor Committee and many ad-
ministration leaders said that the
House would be wasting three or
four days which the debate is eX-
pected to require.
The first step was to vote on par
liamentary procedure regulating the
discussion.
Mr.. Smith. chairman of a spe-
eial committee investigating the
Labor Board. is sponsoring II
amendments based on creation of
hnorI oF ~
aeency's administrative and judicial
functions, and new safeguards for
employers and existing labor unions.
They were approved by himself
and Representatives Halleck and
Routzohn. but denounced by the
other two committee members
Representatives Healey of Massa-
chusetts and Murdock of Utah,
Democrats.
Mrs. Norton and a majority of her
Labor Committee are supporting
five amendments centered on the
addition of two members to the
present three-man board.
That is the only amendment
necessary, if any are necessary, -
Mr.. Healey told reporters. The
addition of two members would give
a fresh viewpoint to the Labor
Board and might remove criticism
that has been directed at abnormal
ities by the present administrators
of the law"
Mr.. Murdock, who joined Mr.
Healey in signing a strongly-Worded
criticism of the Smith committee
recommendations, said he would
vote only for the Norton proposal
designed to protect craft unions in
an industrial plant.
The c. I. o. has opposed all the
pending amendments, while the
A. F. L. has indorsed the Norton
revisions. President William Green
of the A. F. L. said recently that
while he would prefer new Labor
Board, he would accept an increase
from three to five members.
Mr.. Cox yesterday called for an
end to the "unholy alliance which
he said existed between the c. 10
and the Labor Board. He contend
ed in the House that the board
he termed it "a nest of radicals and
subversive thinkers the C. I
o. had working arrangement"
which endangered efforts for ma
tional unity.
