Denham Calls Taft Act
Best Regulatory Law
In Talk 10 Bar Group

Robert NJ Denham. fired by
President Truman as general coun-
sci of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, said today that the
Taft-Hartley law is "the best piece
of regulatory legislation we've
had put on our books. II
Mr.. Denham spoke before the
labor management section of the
American Bar Association at a
meeting in the Commerce Depart
ment auditorium
He said the present law may be
faulty in some respects but added
that his experience in the last
three years as NLRB general
counsel demonstrated that such
legislation will injure no one If
honestly administered"
Counters Injunction Charges.
He defended the general coun-
sells office against criticism that
it had reSorted too frequently to
injunction proceedings in labor
disputes. The mandatory injunc-
ton provisions of the Taft-Hart-
ley law. he said, were used less
than rs times during his three
years as general counsel.
Discretionary injunction au-
thority was used by his Office only
eight times, Mr.. Denham pointed
out, and then only if substantial
segments of the public OF a matter
of principle were involved.
II don't think use of the in-,
junction has been abused" Mr..
Denham declared.
Passing Reference to Custer.
There was only a passing refer
ence to his custer when he was
introduced as "a distinguished and
and extinguished' guest.
Earlier Mr.. Denham disclosed
that he had advised his 18 regional
directors to hold up complaints
against unions or employers until
his successor is seated.
He said he had sent a telegram
to them saying they could get
into lot of trouble and not to
issue any complaints until sue
cessor has been nominated and
confirmed"
Discussions of proposed changes
in the Taft-Hartley law were
scheduled for discussion by the
labor management section at an
afternoon meeting. Charles P.
Taft of Cincinnati said he would
propose a series of resolutions on
the suggested changes.
