RECORDOF PROBE
F.R.'s Son-ln-Law Quoted
As Saying Didn't Blame
Squawking Employers.
Washington, Deo. 12. (fl5)
A memorandum was placed In
the record of the house labor
board committee today which
quoted John Boettiger, Presi
dent Roosevelt's son-in-law as
saying he "didn't blame employ
ers for complaining" against
NLRB's administration of the
Wagner act.
The memorandum was from
Elwyn J. Eagen, labor board
regional director at Seattle, to
Nathan Witt, board secretary,
and reported on a conversation
Eagen said he had with Boetti
ger. The conversation allegedly
concerned a case in which Wil
liam Randolph Hearst's Seattle
newspaper and the American
Newspaper Guild were involved.
Boettiger is publisher of the
Hearst newspaper in Seattle.
Decision Rankled
"Boettiger stated," Eagen
wrote, "that he was very sym
pathetic with the act, but that
when it was administered by a
board which made the kind of
decision it made in this case,
that he didn't blame employers
for complaining about the board.
"He stated very definitely
that he did not intend to take
the matter up with the presi
dent, that he never used his
family connections to accom
plish anything in which he
might be personally interested.
"He Indicated that he did not
intend to publicize his feelings
or to make them known gener
ally. He asked me not to do so,
but inferred that he thought I
would communicate the sub
stance of his conversation to the
board."
In recounting the Seattle case
Eagen asserted that after a set
tlement had been completed
"Boettiger leaned back in his
chair and stated he had some
thing to say to me as a represen
tative of the board, that what
he had to say was in no sense a
reflection upon me personally,
but as I was the only one avail
able representing the board, he
would speak his piece to me."
Facts Distorted
"He stated to, me," said Eagen
"that he thought the board's
order was based upon a distor
tion of the facts produced at the
hearings and (upon) illogical
Inferences, that he personally
resented the decision very much
and was only complying so as
not to embarrass the adminis
tration and to avoid prolonging
tne controversy.
"He also stated that he did
not want to do anything which
would jeopardize the very fine
relations which he had with the
newspaper Guild.
"He made some very exten
sive remarks about the trial
examiner's unfairness and the
fact that the board would not
consider the company's protest
in regard to the trial examiner.
who, he was later informed, had
been discharged for unfairness."
Eagen said he "tried to con
vince" Boettiger the board made
its decision "in a fair manner
on what appeared to be the
facts from the record."
Bridget' Activity Told
Prior to submission of the
Eagen note, the commitee was
advised that Harry Bridges, CIO
west coast leader, led a cam
paign against Towne Nylander,
NLRB board director at Los An
geles who later resigned.
Edmund M. Toland, commit
tee counsel, read into the record
a long report of an investigation
of the Los Angeles office pre
pared by two Washington board
officials which said Nylander's
social relations with labor lead
ers in his area generated dis
trust. This report,, prepared by
George Pratt, chief trial exam
iner here, and Gerhard Van
Arkel, attorney here, said the
"Harry Bridges" group in the
CIO were active in the distrust
of Nylander but that other CIO
