In another action here Involving Teamsters, the National Labor Relations Board named the Teamsters Union and several locals and officials in an unfair labor practices complaint. Rudy Schroeder & Son, a Madi-so- n, Wls., milk hauler, complained he was forced to discont'ni deliveries to the Bowman Dairy Co. In Chicago because of Teamsters action.

Actual changes in the commission's policies, however, will come slowly, he cautioned. He said a review of the states welfare policies was prompted by a recent federal study which showed Utah ranks 31st among the states in per capita income and is 12th in personal income spent for relief.
