New Lobbying
Inquiry Set

ASHIN GTON, Feb. 19
(LPA)-Provoked by the NAM S
challenge topthe lobbyists regis
tration act, the Senate Executive
Expenditures Committee this S
week begins an inquiry into the
meaning and enforcement of
the act.
Irving r. kaufman, special
assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, who has been conducting
the Justice Department study of
lobbyists activities, will be one
of the principal witnesses.
Committee Chairman George
Aiken (R., Vt) said last week
that some business organizations
have expressed "honest doubt"
about whether or not their
wv h i ngton representatives
are required to register their
expense accounts under the Act.
The requirement that lobby
lists tell Congress who they
work for and how much they
spend is embodied in title of
the Congressional Reorganiza-
ton Act. Hearings about to
open are on the Act as a whole.
Representatives of lobbying
organizations are not expected
to testify before next week.

Contractors
Accept L-M
Board Plan

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18
NPA)-Following a caution
from NLRB General Counsel
Denham that if construction
labor and management did
not find a way to prevent juris-
dictional disputes, the NLRB
would move in under the Taft
Hartley Act, the Associated Cen
eral Contractors of America,
meeting in Dallas, accepted a
formula approved by Denham
and Richard ]. Gray, president
of the AFL Building Trades De-
partment, last week.
The plan, which has yet to re-
ceive final endorsement from
AFL construction unions, is the
result not only of the pressure
of Taft-Hartley, but of a series
of local and national efforts by
building labor to work out a
method to avoid jurisdictional
conflicts within the industry.
To Forward Disputes
Jurisdictional disputes that
cannot be settled locally will
be forwarded to a five-man
board in Washington. Two labor
representatives, two manage
ment men and an impartial
chairman will constitute the Ma
tional Joint Board for Settle
ment of Jurisdictional Disputes.
Compensation of the board
will vary from case to case,
participants in particular deci-
sions being selected by the inn
partial chairman from a panel
of IL labor and IL industry
leaders. The chairman himself
will be selected by a board of
trustees on which labor and ma
agement will each have four
representatives.
Before disputes enter these
channels the AFL B uil d in g
Trades will itself endeavor to
settle them. Board decisions will
be binding upon all parties, and
work stoppages prohibited while
case is under consideration.
Gray termed the plan "the
first really comprehensive and
thoroughly implemented charter
of self-government dealing with
a specific problem of industrial
relations in any major basic
industry"

NLRB To Speed
.Up Machinery

WAS NGTON, Feb. 18
LPA)-Prodded by complaints
from all branches of organized
labor that its machinery is too
cumbersome, the NLRB last
week announced a new system
of disposing of representation
and unfair labor practices cases.
It has set up five rotating
panels, with three board mem
bers on each one, and each panel
scheduled to meet once a week.
The panels will have final say
on cases referred to them.
The full five-man board will
continue to meet at least twice a
week to pass on important or
novel policy questions. F."
NLRB Chairman Paul Herzog
said that the system had been
in effect during January, and
that the board disposed of 1874
cases that month as compared
with only 90 in December.
However, on Feb. /, 429
cases still awaited decision, 264
of which were bargaining repre-
sentative questions, and los in
volved charges of unfair labor
practices.
Board figures for Jan. 81
show that l43 national and in
ternational unions-79 AFL, %
CIO, and Al unaffiliated - had
filed Communist disclaimers as
contrasted with 50 AFL, 81 CIO,
and "a unaffiliated which had

Typos Seek
TIL RuIinq

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 18
|1PA)-A direct attack on
the constitutionality of the
Taft-Hartley Act highlighted
the international Typograph-
ical Unions battle here last week
against the injunction sought by
Robert N. Denham, general coun-
sci of the National Labor Rela.
tions Board.
At hearings on the injunction,
held before Federal Judge Lu.
ther M. Swygert, union counsel
Henry Kaiser Immediately raised
a legal challenge and asked that
Denham's petition be dismissed.
Kaiser contended that the in
junction section of the law is an
outright violation of constitu-
tional guarantees. He also press
ed another legal objection -
namely, that NLRB regional di-
rectors ha dino valid right under
the Act to seek injunctions, and
that this right rested solely with
the Board itself.
Recess Proceedings
Judge Swygert recessed the
proceedings in order to rule on
the legal points. This delay
snagged the efforts of Denham
and newspaper publishers to get
a quick injunction. They had
hoped to stop the ITU dead in
It's tracks by enjoining all its
activities in defense of the "un-
ion shop" and of long-established
union standards in the printing
and publishing industry.
Judge Swygert also gave all
branches of organized labor the
right to file briefs supporting the
ITU in its battle against the con-
stitutionality of the laws in
junctive powers.>
The ITU hailed the interven.
ton of the other labor groups.
"These powerful reinforcements
are timely and Welcomed" the
union said.
