Labor Relations Board
Not Pro-CIO, Madden
Tells AFL Meet.
DENVER, Oct, b UP)----.1. War
ren Madden, chairman of the Na
tional Labor Relations board,
bluntly told the American Fedora
, non of Labor convention today
that a Wagner act amendment the
federation has proposed might
make the country "the 'happy
hunting ground for the company
union."
, Taking notice of 'AFL accusa
tions that his board was "pro
CIO," Madden said the CIO like
wise had accused the board in
some instances of being Pm-AFL
"No Right to Interfere"
'
on this (Wagner) law shall
ever be amended so that in words
or In effect, it shall say that em
ployes shall be entitled to be rep
resented by a union of the em
ployers' choosing, than all the rest
of the law ehould be repealed, tor
America, will have become again
theItappy hinting ground fon'llat
company union,' Madden said.
"The organizations who are cc
opting. one or the other .of the
great national organizations as
the lesser of two evils will fly int
mediately to their real love, the
feeble company union formed by
themselves. and and will incor,t1-
nently kick out the national union
which they imposed on their em
ployes." The AFL executive council, in
its convention report. said the
labor board had no right to in
terfere in disputes between unions.
William Green, AFL president,
said recently the federation would
seek amendment of the Wagner
act to bar such interference.
Only Scattered Applause
Madden received only scattered
applause after his speecli, and im
mediately James M. Duffy of the
Potters jumped to his feet and
asked permission to question him.
Madden consented. Duffy ask
ed whether the board would order
an election in plants where em
ployes were covered by a contract.
Madden said the board would not.
It the contract had been entered
Into validly.
Duffy replied by reading part
of a board decision that said in
part, that a contract did not re
move the board's power to order
an election. -
Madden said that the board
never had and never would inter
fere with a contract that had been
entered into validly. The ax
change ended with that statement.
, Strictly Impartial ,
Madden told the convention the
board was strictly impartial in
labor's big civil war, and that
many of the charges of partiaPty
resulted from the heat of conflict.
"With the division In the labor
movement and with competition
between the AFL find the CIO for
the right to represent the workers
in the same plant; the employer,
not unnaturally may have a pref
erence for one of the competing
unions," he added.. "The law for
bids him to give effect to that
preference by coercing ,his em
ployes to join the preferred union
or not to join the other union."
