Of Biased Testimony
On Labor Measure
By J. A. O'Leoy

John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers bluntly proposed today
that the Nation go without any
labor law while unions, manage
ment and Government work out a
substitute for the Taft-Hartley
Act.
At the same time, the Interna-
tional Typographical Union called
for immediate repeal of the Taft
Hartley law. While not fully
satisfied with the administration S
new bill. the printers indicated
willingness to accept it ION an
experimental basis in the interest
of speedy repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act"
Another f1areup occurred in the
Senate Labor Committee, mean
while, when Senator Neely, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia charged
that Robert N. Denham, general
counsel to the National Labor
Relations Board. gave the commit
tee "the most biased testimony
have ever heard given by a Gov
ernment official and I have
been taking part in congressional
hearings for 26 years"
Custer Petition Suggested.
The West Virginia Senator, an
opponent of the Taft-Hartley Act,
suggested every union in the
country should petition for the
removal of Mr.. Denham from
his post as general counsel.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio challenged Senator Neely's
Interpretation of Mr.. Denham's S
testimony and said the record
would not bear out Senator Neely's
charge.

fends the Taft Hartley law, or
tries to enforce it. is regarded as
criminal or an undesirable per-
son." retorted Senator Taft, CO.
author of the law.
The row between the two Sem

Typographical Union, was testi-
flying in defense of the policy that
union adopted of trying to bar
gain with employers. but refusing
to sign contracts after passage
of the Taft-Hartley law, which
prohibited the closed shop.
The miners proposal was con-
tanned in a statement filed by Vice
President Thomas Kennedy. It
lashed out at Senator Taft, call
ing him the "Lucifer of labor
relations and accused him of
filibustering in the current hear
ings before the Labor Committee
