Washington-LPA)- A House
Labor subcommittee investigation
into union racketeering in the
building industry opened it's hear
ings here last week, but the testi-
mony of it's very first witness
boomeranged.
The subcommittee, headed by
Rep. Ralph Gwinn (R., N. ",
wished it had never invited Econo-
mics Professor Corwin ID. Edwards,
of Northwestern University. Cor
win was considered a sure-fire ex-
pert because he headed Justice
Dept study of the whole home
building industry from 1889 to
1914.
When Edwards testimony was
finally added up, the picture show
ed the real culprits to be manu-
facturers, retailers and distributors
of building materials. Labor often
is a most effective policing force
for the construction industry" he
said. Labor gets the headlines be-
cause it is the enforcement agency
for every one else."
But, he emphasized, materials
distributors frequently conspire to
keep prices up, and manufacturers
often will not sell to retailers who
are willing to sell at lower prices,
Edwards testified.
For two hours Gwinn kept trying
to steer Edwards into an attack
on union practices. Finally he ask
ed the witness whether he had not
come across instances of union
limitations on the amount of work
members were permitted to do.
"Only twice." Edwards told the
startled Gwinn. "Once when some
fathers had it i'm their contract that
they should be requested to handle
only so many lathes a day and
once in another contract which stip-
ulated a foreman couldn't rush his
men,"
Gwinn looked thunderstruck. "Do
you mean," he asked, "that in your
whole experience you never saw
any limit on work ?" Edwards re-
piled, "Not any except the two |
mentioned. The rest was all rumors
we couldn't track down. Just ru-
mors."
After Washington the hearings
will move on to Philadelphia, Cleve-
land and other cities in the hope of
"better" witnesses.

5fh Resignation

Washington-(LPA)- The fifth
resignation in the national staff Of
the Natl Labor Relations Board
because of the Taft Hartley law
came last week with an explosive
criticism that "This law is so VIC
iously destructive of labor organ
izations that it's own hackers want
it's enforcement soft-pedalled."
Heber Blankenhorn, assistant di-
rector of the NLRB's field staff,
followed five regional NLRB staff
members as we'll as the five ma
tional officials in quitting the
Board. In his resignation letter to
the Board, Blankenhorn verified
what labor leaders had contended-
that corporation representatives
wrote the Taft-Hartley law.

ministrators are for once unani-

tionships under this law" said;
