M. Collier, Field Ilepresentatlve Af*** PER IATION A P R O B L E M P R E S S IN G FO R S O L U T IO N There Is frequent mention of the National I.abor Itclatlons Act In newspapers these days. Most of this news has been the kind of smoke that really Indicates the presence of a fire. Not I he least Important Item o f this type was the recent derision handed down by the United Htates Supreme Court to the effect that Fad tun I courts have no power to pass on the rightness or wrongness of Wagner lloaid certifications of labor unions. The case In question was brought to the court by one national labor union which felt that a Wagner Board decision had been too sweeping and had dlsreg&r- iled minority rights. The problem of the Wagner Act has cried out for solution for ft number of years now. Ho far. the Acts' defenders have done a skill ful Job of thwarting the desire of the public and of all grou|>a In the country to hnve It amended. But the knowledge that, the wide powers of the Board cannot In many Instances be checked by the courts ought to make the need for amendments to limit that power seem even more urgent to those most concerned. Coupled with this recent news event come continued revelations made during the Congressional Investigation of the Board Itself that tend to show that the body with these extremely broad powers does not always employ them wisely. These revelations of bickering among Honed members, of bins evidenced by Board representatives, of wide powers assumed or usurped by the Board point, of course, partly to nn unsound atti tude on the part of the Wagner Board Itself. But far more significantly they throw the spotlight on the flnws, omissions, and loose constructions of the Act Itself which make this situation possible. Congress .with the International situation growing hourly and dally more tense, must he wise enough to do everything In Its power to help get our domestic affairs shipshape In the field of em ployer employer relations, so Important both to recovery and na tional defense Congress can best serve this end by amending the Wagner Act along lines that will mean a fair deal for nuinagement as well as labor. This action would mark a substantial contribu tion to real employer employee harmony. Thai Congress will follow this line Is a consummation devoutly to be wished by all real friends of labor, o f Industry, o f the consum ing public, nnd of Congress Itself.

Meanwhile, Edwin James Cooley, SHA director of the city, said of the children o f families on relief: "Undernourished and set apart, they can develop neither the physical nor mental health necessary lo stand up In a tough world." Some of thiwe extra salaries to o f ficials might help the children out.
