Roosevelt Assent
To Wagner Act
Changes Reported
Senator Wagner Indicates
He Might Not Oppose
'Clarifying' Amendments
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.
The administration, it was indi
cated on Capitol Hill today, hopes to
stop devastating attacks cm the
Wagner Act and the National Labor
Relations Board by accepting certain
amendments to the law at the pres
ent session of Congress.
What form these amendments will
take no one would venture to predict,
although it was believed they would
relate to administration and pro
cedure and would not disturb what
the New Deal conceives to be the
primary purpose of the act—to re
quire employers to bargain collec
tively with a majority of their em
ployes and to refrain from “unfair
labor practices.”
Two broad hints of this trend in
the bitter fight on the N. L. R. B.
were thrown out yesterday.
Wagner Assails Report.
The father of the act. Senator
Wagner of New York, speaking in the
Senate yesterday, assailed the re
port of the Smith committee of
the House, recommending . drastic
amendments, but the author of the
far-reaching Labor Relations Act
left a loophole which tacitly indi
cated he might not oppose “clarify
ing” amendments. He said:
“One may disagree with the
present board's decision in isolated
cases. The Smith investigation has
undoubtedly disclosed defects in
administration by the board and
bias or misdirected zeal on the part
of some employes. But all this is no
justification for ‘ripper’ legislation.”
At another point in his speech,
Senator Wagner said:
“I do not wish to imply that the
administrative procedure under the
Labor Act cannot be improved. The
Attorney General, at the suggestion
of the President, has established a
committee on administrative law,
composed of distinguished Judges,
law teachers and members of the
bar. The committee la now engaged
in an extensive examination of the
procedure of the labor board and
other administrative agencies. I
await with interest its findings and
its suggestions, confident that they
will be constructive and in further
ance of sound policy and improved
procedure. Congress should not dis
criminate by making radical changes
in the administrative procedure of
the Labor Act until the report of
the Attorney General’s committee
is available to guide our steps.”
Early Report Forecast.
The other hint came from Rep
resentative Norton of New Jersey,
chairman of the House Labor Com
mittee. After an executive session
of the committee, she predicted,
speaking for herself, that the group
would report out some sort of bill
relating to the Wagner Act at an
early date. Presumably this would
recommend certain amendments,
although Mrs. Norton would not
say what type of bill she thought
the committee would approve.
The committee decided to take up
at a series of executive meetings
beginning next Tuesday the Smith
amendments and all other amend
ments which have been suggested
during the Labor Committee’s hear
ings.
Mrs. Norton made her prediction
the day after she conferred with
President Roosevelt. While she
would not disclose the nature of the
discussion, there were authoritative
Indications the President was ready
to accept some amendments, pro
vided they did not, in his opinion,
go too far.
The special committee headed by
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia made its preliminary re
port last week during a recess of
a month or more in the hearings
which have been in progress since
early January. Mr. Smith and two
Republican colleagues on the com
mittee—Represenatives Halleck of
Indiana and Routzohn of Ohio—de
livered a majority opinion urging
17 amendments. Under these rec
ommendations the present labor
board of three members would be
abolished, to be replaced by a board
of the safhe size to be appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate, and a prosecuting officer,
distinct from the board, would
be appointed to press justified labor
complaints, with the board exercis
ing only judicial power.
Two Oppose Recommendations.
The other two committee mem
ben, Democrats — Representative*
Healey of Massachusetts and Mur
dock of Utah—declared the majority
report would strip the act of effec
tiveness. They recommended minor
amendments.
President Roosevelt, it was in
dicated today, probably will dis
cuss the Labor Act at his semi
weekly press conference tomorrow.
Advocates of such major changes
in the If w as Chairman smith and
his two colleagues have sponsored
threaten to invoke the petition pro
cedure to get these before the House
if the Labor Committee, to which
the Smith report was referred, falls
to send it out. If a majority of
the House signs a petition, the com
mittee In custody of a bill Is dis
charged from considering it and
the measure is taken to the floor.
Chairman Norton said, however, the
Labor Committee had shown no
disposition to “stall” and would take
Figure on using Toxolito for
interior decorating. It's tha best.

action within a short time.
Despite the spirited defense of
the law which Senator Wagner
made in the Senate, observers
pointed out that he had gone
further than he had previously in
admitting he did not imply the
board’s administrative procedure
“cannot be Improved.”
"I am still completely open
minded about the Labor Act," the
New York Senator declared. “1 am
still ready to support amendments
proposed by others if they appear
to me to be sound at this time.”
But he added: “The Smith in
vestigation has not adduced any
substantial facts to refute the over
whelmlng weight of the evidence
that the Labor Act has promoted
Industrial peace and preserved in
dustrial freedom.”
Senator Wagner also said: “The
Smith amendments, whatever their
Intent, in their full sweep would
more than repeal the Labor Acte
they would make it a delusive
remedy for the worker and a con
crete weapon for the oppression
of labor.”

Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
Take this New Kind of Bath,
and Drift Off Into Utter Rest
When you toss and fight the bed
clothes, when one black hour
after another goes by without re
lief, it’s because your nerves are
tense and there is an excess of
fatigue wastes in your blood.
What you need, to get utter
rest and deep, peaceful sleep, is
a way to relax those nerves—and
a way to speed up the clearing of
those fatigue wastes.
Fortunately, there is now a
simple way to do it, without
drugs, without trouble, and with
out expensive preparations.
Find out for yourself now easy it
is to sleep like a baby.
You’ve always known that
warm baths were relaxing and
had a tendency to make you
sleepy. But now, by the right
kind of warm bath you can sleep
as you have never slept before.
Just fill your tub half full of
water that is from 100 to 104 de
grees warm. Then sprinkle
through it 3 to 4 heaping table
spoons of Colman’s Dry Mustard.
(Even tender skins won’t fed
this.) Soak yourself, st full length,
in this bath for 15 minutes. Then
dry yourself gently, keep warm,
and go promptly to bed.
The reason this new bath
works such magic (as proved in
scientific tests) is because the
warm water and Colman’s Dry
Mustard in combination have
wonderful drawing power. They
materially increase the flow of
your blood, all over your body,
toward the surface of your skin.
This speeds up the elimination of
the fatigue wastes, relaxes your
muscles and overstrung nerves,
and sends you to bed ready for
that dreamless peace Nature in
tended your nights to be.
TRY IT TONIGHT. There Is prob
ably a tin of Colman’s Dry Mus
tard in your pantry. If not, your
grocer has it. Take this Colman’s
bath regularly and forget that
you ever knew those nightmares
of tossing which made you dread
the nights.
Think of it!
