The fight to preserve the Wagner Act as it is at present will be severe enough, the editorial says. An amendment that is considered beneficial to labor would only serve to give enemies of the Act a chance to substitute their own line of amendments. Dangerous Reid Robinson, president of the C. I. 0.
