LABOR BOARDS
POWER LIMITED

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Third United
States Circuit Court of Appeals handed
down an opinion here limiting the au-
thority of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board to the period in firms
relations with it's employees which
ends with the signing of labor agree
ment. In affirming this principle the
court decided that the Labor Board
did not have the legal right to rein
state an employee dismissed in viola
tion of contract with a labor union.
"Setting aside an order of the board
requiring a daily newspaper to rein
state an editorial employee with back
wages from the time of dismissal, the
court held it is not the duty of the
NLRB to "police the relations between
an employer and his employees under
a collective bargaining agreement" :"
Instead, the court held the boards
function has been accomplished when
a contract is signed.
