Mr. Green said Federation attorneys are “in the last stages” of drafting amendments to the National Labor Relations Act and that they will be presented to Congress “with full A. F. of L. backing,” The amendments, he said, will contain two major provisions: 1. To take away from the board its present poewr to determine whether a labor unit will operate

“las a craft; plant or industrial unit.

It would provide for operation of the act in a manner similar to the Railway Labor Act. 2. Curtailment of the power of the board to void existing contracts between unions and employers. “Our purpose,” he said, ‘is to guard and protect the fundamental provisions ofthe act. We stand now as we have always stood for the preservation of the act. Our coma=laint is against the maladministration of the act.”
