Show i Page 6 UTAH LABOR NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, DECEMBER 9, 1938 fairs, which would take It and its LABOR ON ITS staff away from their activities for FORWARD MARCH days and perhaps weeks at a time, (Continued from page 6) irresponsible and foolhardy labor officials have joined in an unprln cipled attack upon the Act and the Hoard for the purpose of distorting the Act by amendments at the coming session of Congress, so that it may serve the interest of corporate greed instead of the welfare of labor, and for the purpose of hampering the Board by groundless and unjustified investigations and by depriving it of necessary funds. Although the C. I. 0. criticizes and will continue to criticize certain unsound decisions of the Board, which are in conflict with the letter of the Act and out of harmony with its purposes, and which favor the development of craft organizations in mass pro duction industries at the expense of industrial unions, by which alone such industries can be organized it recognizes that proposals for amendment can but play into the hands of the most dangerous forces in the economic and political life of the nation. Opposes Unseen Probes Resolved: That the C. I. 0. opposes without qualification all changes whatsoever in the text of the National Labor Relations Act. The C. I. 0. urges the Congress of the United States to avoid Interference with the work of the Board by investigations into its af IPepIe and which would be without shadow of Justification or excuse at present. The C. I. 0. condemns the attacks on the Act and the Board which have been launched by antilabor and corporate interests, and deplore the support accorded to such interests and to their proposals by certain reckless and unscrupulous office-holdein the labor movement, who have presumed to advance their own unsound and untimely recommendations for amendments. The C. I. 0. urges upon the Congress of the United States that in view of the widespread resistance to the Act by employers, and the burden which has thus been imposed upon the Board, the appropriation which has heretofore been accorded the Board for purposes of enforcement be doubled at the next session of Congress. anti-democrat- ic rs NEW MEXICO UNION MINERS FAVORED BY RECOMMENDATION Kiernan, recommended that the corporation cease and desist from interfering with, restraining or coercing its employes in the exercise of their rights under the Labor Relations Act. He also recommended that the corporation offer immediate and full reinstatement to about 85 men, and pay to each of these men a sum of money equal to that which they would have earned as wages during the period from the date of the discrimination to the date of the offer of reinstatement. In a separate section of the report it was found that Nevada Consolidated Copper corporation is the successor of the Nevada Con- solidated Copper company; that it is a Delaware corporation engaged in the operation of mines and mills in the states of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kennecott Copper corporation.
