D., Fla . expressed onposltlon Io any i Wagner act changes They agreed > that such a move might be used to i "emasculate* the act. Brewster urged that the “gag" against employers he lifted Io enable presentation of “both aides of the case” In union campaigns to organise plants. 1. Employers be given the right to petition the national labor relations board for plant elections when two or more unions claim a plant majority and threaten Jurisdictional strike action. 2. Congres should act to define supervisory employes and determine whether they are eligible for union membership. .1. Congress should prevent see ondary Imycotts by passing legislation which would outlaw strikes by one union to support demands ot another. Murray indicated that a proposed committee study of the hi liar set may be shelved Indefinitely. He told a reporter that the committee probaldy would take that action unless the nstion experfencea an- , other rash of labor disputes. Regarding prop >srd changes in the Wagner act, Murray declared that revisions "have a tendency to create confusion Instead of clarification.” He also opposed giving employers the right to present their views in a plant organising campaign. Ruch a move. Murray said, would "permit the very thing the Wagner act tries to prevent." Murray pointed out that congress has defeated a move to withhold NLRB funds from use in considers lion of petitions brought by supervisory employes for union recognition. The proposal was presented as a rider to the labor-federal security appropriation bill. Regarding proposed Incus on secondary Imyccrtls. he said that unions themselves should correct "abuses" in use of the strike weapon, thus obviating necessary for congressional action. 0 Three Are Killed In Collision Os Autos Pontiac, 111..
