 So far, it appears, the NLRB has been engaged in what might be called preliminary skirmshes to clear the way for action many difficult that to arise especially under the provisions of the TaftHartley Act relating the unfair practices of labor unions dealing with cases of this the NLRB will be entering field and will have to set up a body of precedents. It will surprise many people to hear that so far not a single case involving the unfair labor practices provisions has been ruled by the board or been the subject cf preliminary decision by trial examiner.

 the University of Minnesota Paul M. Herzog Chairman of the NLRB surveyed the first hundred days record of that reconstructed agency under the Taft-Hartey Act Most of the boards time, he says, has to date been devoted to disposng Of hundreds of holdoyer cases under the old Wagner Act Practically no con- troyerses arising purely under the law have yet got to the board for final decision.
 However. passage of the aft-Kartley Act has re- suited in dismissal of all pending election petitions involving supervisors, since the new law excludes supervisors from the definition of employees granted statutory protection in the exercise Of bargaining rights The board has also refused to proceed with cases involving employers refusals to bargain with foremens unions Moreover in number of recent decisions old cases the board has had to consider the effect the so-caned "freespeech controversy MT Herzog declares that this provision has not so far required any departure from the practices fol- lowed under the Wagner Act What, if any, effect it will have on decisions in arising entirely under the law has yet to be determined.
 great deal of the NLRBs time has also been devoted to interpreting those hoty contested provisions Communist affdavits and financial information in order to use the machinery set up by the board. Despite the refusal of some unions to comply with the laws requirements as condition of eligibility for certificaton as bargaining agents, MT. Herzog says that compliance by major labor organizations is now proceeding rapidly, 125 national and international unions and 2,l76 local unions having fully complied with the terms laid down by the law. This encouraging progress was made possible by the boards decision in representation not to disqualify union be- all the officers of it's parent federation had not compiled with the law.

Italian Novelty
(Washineton Post)

Washington PoSt)
 The Italian government has novel plan for boosting British coal production and getting part of the increased output for Italian The proposal is to give 1000 British miners and their wives a 12 days holiday the Italian Riviera the Italian lakes for every half million tons of coal exported to Italy The expenses of these aunts would be met by the Italians out of the savings resulting from purchases of British instead of American coal
 The vision of British miners vacationng under blue and alien skies a reward for work well done is quite alluring But like many dyllc visions its beauties dim close inspection. We hope the day may come when the workers of the world will have both the time and the surplus income for journeyng to strange places But greatly doubt whether the Italian proposal of mass vacations at government pense either suited the times or consistent with those principles of nondiscrimnatory trade which the professed obiectives of the worlds chief trading nations.
 We strongly suspect too, that British trade union heads will oppose invidious incentive scheme of this kind that would benefit only limited number O. miners in high production It is guess, therefore that British miners, as well workers in othep industries will be forced by circumstances to stay close to home for long time to The most arresng feature of the Italian offer is it's recognition of the tremendous importance of coal and mine work CTS in postwar Europe
