1 Smith Committee Advice
Followed j Action Not
f Likely in Senate
. WASHINGTON. June l-iP-By
a rote or exactly two to one, me
i bouse passed and sent4o the sen
ate today a- series of Wagner act
amendments to create a new
i three-man national labor relations
i board and make sweeping changes
1 In its present procedure.
! .The same coalition of republi-
; cans and democrats which had
! held the upper hand for three days
' of preliminary fighting rolled up a
258 to 129 rote for the revisions,
despite the fact that all factions
agreed that they would wind up in
a pigeonhole in the senate.
' ; -The amendments were rirtually
; the same as those approved by a
majority of the fire-man commit
itee beaded by Representative
Smith (D-Va) which has been In
' restigailng the Wagner act and
j the labor board since last Decern
! ber. . . - .
1 Board Given Only
Judicial Functions
'Besides abolishing the positions
now held by labor board members,
, J.'V Warren Madden, Edwin 8.
i Smith and William M. Leiserson,
i the Smith amendments would sep-
i arate the board's present admin
istrative and Judicial functions by
i establishing the position of an ad
i mlnlstrator. . Sponsors : said, this
procedure -wouja leave tne new
. board free to concentrate Its at
tention on Judicial functions.
- The . amendments also would
abolish ' the .. economics division
now headed by David J. Saposs;
would permit .court jeviewi of
board decisions in representation
eases and would require the board
to acknowledge craft unions as
, bargaining agents if a' majority of
the members of such unions so de
sired. ';, -;:' :
Opposing these propositions at
every turn, a minority tried in
vain to confine the house amend
ments to a series of four, approved
by the house labor committee and
built around the addition of two
new members- of the three-man
foard. ' " -. ", ";.
. , .But this group was beaten, once
on a teller, vote of 178 to 111 and
on roll call rotes of 246 to 137 and
2S8 to 129.
Only fire changes were made in
the original Smith bill four of
them recommended by President
William " Green of the American
Federation of Labor.
The fifth by, -Rep. .llen ID
Fa) would relieve employers of
the requirement that they bargain
with labor representatives who are
net citizens of the United States.
Just -before the final rotes on
the amendments. Chairman Nor
ton (D-NJ) of the labor commit
tee contended thatthelr adoption
would mesa that "the workers of
this country will be sold, down the
Tlrer." - "
Then, directing her (attention to
Green, she said that until yester
day her own bill had the AFL sup
port. .
"Strange things happen over
night, and we hare strange bed
fellows in congress today' she
aid. "What combination or trade
was responsible for the change of
heart of Mr. Green Is beyond me."
jQreen several months arb said
the Smith amendments would hare
the effect of destroying the act,
but Smith produced a letter from
him yesterday saying that if four
changes were made, the amend
ments, "taken as a whole would
correct in large measure the
"abases" of the NLRB. All four
were accepted, by the house today.
