For the sake of the nation, I hope for your early action. 19, 1937, Page LABOR ON ITS FORWARD MARCH violation of the Wagner Labor Act, the United Automobile Workers, 0. union, has filed charges with the Detroit office of the National Labor Relations Board (Continued from page 2) the in the against first week of a drive Chrysler Corporation, signed conducted by the Lumber Workers' Larry S.
