Congressional Committee Recommends ization of Board and Amendment Of ‘Wagner Law’ BRUCKART By WILLIAM WNU Service National Press Bldg Washington D C — The house of WASHINGTON representatives has in its collective hands one of the most and vital documents that has been presented to it in many years I refer to the partial report of the investigation into the National Labor Relations act and its creature the National Labor Relations board The 'report is vital because it exposes some of the most damning evidence that has come to light since the famed senate investigation into the oil scandals and proposes means for correcting the conditions which the committee of inquiry found to be wrong The special committee headed- by Rep Howard Smith Virginia Democrat has spent months delving into the labor board record analyzing cases obtaining the “other side” of board rulings reports of coercion intimidation labor union racketeering and such It has done so with the minimum flare for sensational news publicity and it recognizes moreover that it has just scratched the surface The inquiry will continue and there is very little doubt but that the New Deal attempt to put labor in a strait jacket under domination of the C I O is at long last going to be fully of record for the voters The committee majority vigorously assailed the labor board and the law under which the board acts for setting up an agency that serves as judge prosecution and jury Separation of these functions was recommended and amendments to the law were offered for the consideration of congress Government Housecleaning
