A. F. of L. Joins Advocates of Amendments In NLRB Vehicle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (U. P.).— The National Labor Relations Board, Se¢retary of Labor Perkins and the C. 1. O. joined today in an effort to prevent amendment of the Wagner

Labor Relations Act in the new Con- |

gress: NLRB Chairman J. Warren Mad.den announced he and his two colleagues—Edwin S. Smith and Donald Wakefield Smith—believe the act which they _administer should not be changed. Miss Perkins said that “on the ‘basis of my present knowledge” she did not believe the act should be revised. She has been “following very closely, every proposal that has been made”/for amending it, she said. - The C. I.

real sense, consists of all the Fed- |:

eral, state, and city law which is applicable to a.g{ven situation, this statement become ludicrous.”

Should. Be Restricted

The U. 8. Chamber of Commerce |

at its last convention advocated re‘peal of the law. It said that “if the .. act is not to be wholly withdrawn, we urge that it be structually amended.” | : . : “Amendments should include pro- | tection of employes against inter- ' ference in any of their rights, including the rights of self-organiza-tion, whether the interference comes irom employers, employees, or anyone else” the chamber resolution said. “Appropriate rights should be given to employers, and afforded protection.
