It will therefore, require amendments tc the Clayton Act to effectively bring labor unions back under the juris- diction of Federal Courts, so that they can be enjoined from commit ting any of the unfair practices de- scribed above.
 To prevent these practices and the irreparable damage caused by them, would require such amend ments to the Antitrust Laws as would make 1t possible to secure in- functions against their commit ment.

 The adoption of the above amend- mentS would mean that in the event of o resort to certain unfair practices employees would Dc dee pFived of the ability to recover wages for lost time or to secure feinstate- ment unless the employer SO wiSh- cd. Their right to strike for the bet- torment of hours, wages, or working conditions, and their right to con- tinue collective bargaining, would not be affected.
 One of the most obvious objections to the National Labor Relations Act has been the manner of It's admin istration. Complaints of violations of the Act are investigated by agents appointed by the National Labor Relations Board. These If recognized by the Board as constituting possible infringements of the Act are heard before "trial examiners" appointed by the board and the findings Of fact" are made the basis for the or- derS of the Board.
 It is therefore obvious that on the basis of the findings of fact" the Board makes the charges, acts as prosecutor and judge. It is Q fundamental principle of our juris- prudence that the functions oi prosecution and judgment should be separated and that only thus can the defendant secure an impartial hearing. The act should be amended to accomplish this end.
