TRADE UNION ACT Will Send Special Commis sion To England Aims To Clear Up' Misinforma tion Held In United States WASHINGTON. June 3. ( AP) President Roosevelt announced today that a special presidential commis sion would bo sent to Englejid this summer to clear up what he consid ered to be misinformation In this country about the workings of the British trade union act. This act has sometimes been held up by business interests and others as a model of legislation the United States might write In order to de fine the proper activities of unions. Whether Mr. Roosevelt Intends to apply the findings of his commis sion in any positive way was not brought out, In discussing the purpose of the study with reporters at his press conference, he said simply that It would b&ve nothing to do with the Wagner labor relations act. He ex plained that the purpose would be to end misunderstandings of the law. but what these are he did not relate CIO Represented Mr. Roosevelt withheld the names of tbe commission members he has already selected, but a letter written by John L. Lewis and released si multaneous with the conference dis closed that the Commission (or In dustrial Organization had been In vited to have representation. Lewis, the letter disclosed, first agreed to participation, but objected strenuously today after he had reed published reports that one purpose of the study would be to get Infor mation, to ba uswf In modifying the Wagner labor act. "The Committee for Industrial Organization cannot sanction such an. enterprise," Lewis wrote, "nor permit Its representatives to serve on such a commission. It will op pose amendment or modification of the Wagner act." Aides said Lewis would stand by his letter, which was addressed to Secretary of Labor France Perkins, despite Mr. Roosevelt's outright press conference dental that the Inquiry was designed to produce changes in the Wagner act. Written In 1027 The British act was written th 1027, after England's upheavals of 1920 resulted In a great general strike. Labor department experts ex plained the law has four purposes 1, To maks "sympathetic" strikes and lock-outs Illegal although It le galizes other strikes and lock-outs, 2. To restrict mass picketing. 3. To restrict the use of trade un ion treasuries for political purposes. 4. To limit strictly the affiliation of civil servants with trade union organizations. These experts also explained that the act doea not require any regis tration of unions or fix any finan cial responsibility for their acts. Those objectives were covered In much older British statutes which, with some modification, are on the books today. hint Not Completed Mr. Roosevelt said he could not aay who would serve on the commis sion because the membership was In complete.

Ford reiterated his criticism of certain flnsnrlal Interests" which, he said, would like to bring about an other war, "Somebody once said that 80 fam ilies have directed the destinies of the nation." Ford said. "It might well be said that If somebody would focus the spotlight on 28 persons who handle the nation's finances, the world's real war makers would be brought Into bold relief."
