NLRB Policy Called
Anfi-Labor by AL;
Republicans Blamed
By The Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The
AFL Executive Council says a
new anti-labor policy" has been
put into effect by the National
Labor Relations Board. and
eventually the Eisenhower adj
ministration must be held re-
sponsible."
After the council made the
declaration in a statement yes
terday, a newsman asked AFL
President George Meany what
eventually" was intended to
mean.
THAT means November, doesn't
it?" he replied. "You can't hold
them responsible until you exer-
else your franchise at the polls. !"
Statement by Council.
The councils statement said
in part:
Gradually but inexorably ter
rife pressure is being applied
against labor through a process
of tightening the restrictions
contained in the Taft-Hartley
Act, not by new legislation, but
by administrative action.
"Since his election, President
Eisenhower has appointed three
new members of the NLRB. They
are Chairman Guy Farmer. P. r.
Rodgers and Albert c. Beeson.
This group. which comprises a
majority Of the five-man board,
has proceeded in recent months
to reinterpret the basic concepts
Of the law governing labor man
agement relations.
eft must be remembered that
the Taft-Hartley Act did not
wipe out all of labor's funda-
mental rights, even though it
impaired many Of them. The
NLRB is now going much fur
Their in clamping down on UNI
ions than the law requires"
Going Beyond the Law.
Referring to the councils
charge that Gen. Eisenhower's
NLRB appointees were going be-
yond the law in their interpreted
tons, Mr.. Meany told newsmen:
"The President can't escape
responsibility for this because he
appointed them"
The council statement noted
that during his 1852 campaign
Gen. Eisenhower told an AFL
national convention here that
he would be flair to labor" If
elected.
THAT pledge" the statement
added, takes on special signifl-
canoe in view of a new emer-
gency situation that has arisen"
The AFL supported Gen. Eli
senhower's democratic opponent
for the presidency, Adlai E. Ste
venson.

secretary said yesterday.
King Tribhuvana has been un-
