7-Year-Old Article - Utilized by Foes of Wagner Labor Law Chief NLRB Feonomish Tarver] by Dies Committee

As Revolutionist for ‘Factual’ Report Of Socialist International.

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The fire kindled under the Wagner Labor |}

Act by critics within both labor and industry is being replenished by a

* magazine article written seven years ago. s : That was before the labor act was even a glint in Senator Wagner's

‘eye. nn The article was written for the * publication “Labor Age” by David _ Saposs, a labor historian and economist. It was recently salvaged from obscurity by the Dies Commit- ° fee in the course of an attempt to show that un-Americanism is ram‘pant in important Government ~ offices 5 For Mr. Saposs is now, and has been for three years, chief economist of the National Labor Relations Board, . ; Rep. Martin Dies, quoting from the article, sought to tar Mr. Saposs with the brush of revolutionism. Mr. Saposs’ boss, Chairman J. Warren Madden of the NLRB, retorted that the article was simply a factual report by Mr. Saposs on the procéed- - ings of the Fourth Congress of the Labor and Socialist International in Vienna in 1931.

Battle on Three Fronts

‘The article is so phrased as to give some comfort to either inter-

pretation. Regardless of the merits of this argument, it is certain to figure in ‘ the forthcoming congressional attack on the Wagner act and the Labor Board, an attack which is expected to be pressed on three fronts: 1. An early battle in the Senate against confirmation of the President’s recess reappointment of Donald Wakefield Smith as a member of the NLRB. : 2. A fight from various quarters, notably the A. F. of L., Most of organized industry, and such Senators as Vandenberg (R. Mich.), Bridges (R. N. H) and Bailey (D. N. C.), on behalf of various proposals to amend the Wagner act. 3. An effort to hamstring the Labor Board by reducing its appropriations—a movement which might find a willing champion in Chairman Glass (D. Va.) of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Protege of Professor

The debate and vote on the Smith reappointment may provide an important test of the possibilities of cohesion between Republicans and independent-minded Democrats to override the New Dealers. There have been indications that the Labor Board may seek to soften the attack by some measures of self-reform, such as rescinding its rule that employers may not petition for employee elections. But most observers feel that it is too late now to divert the snowball of criticism by such measures. Mr. Saposs, the latest target of " NLRB detractors, is a Russian-born scholar who traces his political philosophy to the teachings of Associate Justice Louis Brandeis and Prof. John R. Commons, the famous University of Wisconsin economist. He was once Prof. Common’s secretary. He has participated in various in-

vestigations of labor problems for].

the Federal Government, New York

State, the Carnegie Foundation and]:

the Twentieth Century Fund. For several years he lectured: at the Brookwood Labor College in New York. . Came to U. S. at Age of 9 His ‘principal function in the Labor Board is the preparation of economic material in connection with litigation, and the presenta~ tion of expert testimony at Board hearings.

He was brought to this country

whe he was 9 and lived in Milwaukee until he entered the University of Wisconsin. There he worked his way as a stenographer for Dr. Commons and eventually became his assistant. Last spring Senator Bridges, in

a magazine article, charged that!’

he was the master-mind behind the Labor Board. ' Mr. Saposs replied that communists considered him a “petit-bour-geois Social Democrat,” and denied that he sat in when the Board was making decisions. :
