GUILD TO VOTE ONC. 1.0. ISSUE

Board Authorizes Poll Action Taken at Convention.

By United Press NEW YORK, July 26.—The Inter-

‘national Executive Board of the |

American Newspaper Guild today authorized a referendum on C. I. O. affiliation and other actions taken at the Guild's recent St. Louis convention, provided that the questions to be presented were “properly drafted and capable of application” and “within the spirit” of the orig-

| inal motions.

The board voted to limit the referendum to guild members as of

| June 1. Both votes were unanimous.

In limiting the referendum, the

| board barred business office work-

ers and others who have joined the guild since the St. Louis convention opened membership to them. The question of broadening the membership base will be included in the referendum. Other questions involve a stand in favor of a farmerlabor party, support of the Loyalists in Spain, larger WPA appropropriations, support of President Roosevelt's Supreme Court reorgani-

zation program and restoration of | a guild vice president for wire serv- |

ices.

The board’s stipulation that the | questions must be “properly drafted” |

followed requests from the Colum-

bus, O. guild and the Washington |

guild to be permitted to rephrase them so as to propose positive actions either confirming or nullifying the actions taken at the convention,

instead of merely reopening the is- |

sues. The board announced that committees of the Columbus and Washington guilds would hold

simultaneous meetings today to re- |

phrase the questions properly.

SUCCESSOR NAMED TO NORMAN BUCHAN

Announcement of the appoint- | ment of Donald D. Burchard, pub- |

lisher of the Banner Press, Oak Grove, Mo., and a graduate of Beloit College, to the Butler University staff has been announced by President James W.

| Putnam. Mr. Burchard has been active in | newspaper work for several years. | | He is to replace Norman R. Buchan,

who resigned recently to publish

| a newspaper in California. Russell J. Hammargren is department head.

NLRB SPURNS

Refute Charges of Labor Bias.

(Editorial, Gen. Johnson, Page 14)

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

| WASHINGTON, July 26.—Mem‘bers of the National Labor Rela-

bh | tions Board indicated today they

| had no intention of entering into a public argument with Senator Nye | | (R. N. D.) on his charge the board | |is & “kangaroo court” with bias] against employers. | The decision to remain silent was | | based, it was understood, on a be-| | lief that any reply to Senator Nye | should come from one of his col- | leagues active in labor legislation, | such as Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.) | father of the statute which created | {the board. An indirect answer was | contained in a newspaper article! published yesterday under Senator | Wagner's signature. It was written | | prior to the Nye charges. | | Board members pointed, privately, | to the Supreme Court's decisions | upholding the Wagner act. In the | {| Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. case] the Court specifically dealt with an | attack against the procedural prac- | tices of the Board, an important | phase of the present controversy, | and gave them full sanction.

Board Looks to Senators to

| By United Press MEXICO CITY, July 26.—A sharp earthquake shock felt over a wide area of Mexico caused some material damage, reports indicated today, but few casualties. The shock was felt for 21 seconds here, beginning at 8:55 p. m. yesterday. Observatory experts listed it as of 5 degree intensity, as compared to a maximum of 9 degrees.

Chandeliers in houses swung wildly here and the earth shook considerably. Audiences in movies, theaters and other places of amusement filed in orderly manner into | the streets, then returned to their | places.

| tion against arbitrary action in ac-

cordance with the well-settled rules applicable to administrative agencies set up by Congress to aid in the enforcement of valid legislation.” The Labor Board's rules govern-

ing its conduct were declared by its |

members to be patterned after those

of the Federal Trade Commission, | which operates in another govern- | mental field affecting business. One |

rule, requiring confidential investigation of complaints against employers before formal complaints are issued, was said to be responsible for the criticism frequently heard that the Labor Board seldom finds in favor of an employer. No complaints are made public by the Board until it has convinced itself it has enough basis to justify Federal action.

Park Devices Checked Each Year by City

Riding devices in city amusement parks are inspected once a year Building Comissioner George Popp Jr, told Mayor Kern at a conference today. He said that before park openings each year devices are tested by loading them with sandbags twice the weight of the normal human load carried. Neither official hinted that any investigation of the devices would be made. The Mayor arranged the conference after the death of 13-year-old Thelma Chambers, She was thrown { from a Riverside Park whirligig Fri- | day night into a wire fence and died of a fractured skull.
