House Considers
Wagner Labor Act
Changes Today
I
Senate Believed Likely
To Pigeonhole Any
Amendments Voted
By the Associated Press.
Advocates of revising the Wagner
Labor Act forced the long-standing
question of amendments before the
House today, even though chances
for final congressional action at this
session appeared to be remote.
A group headed by Representa
tives Smith of Virginia and Cox of
Georgia. Democrats, and Routzohn
of Ohio and Halleck of Indiana,
Republicans, insisted that the mem
bers go on record on two sets of
revisions. They agreed with sup
porters of the law, however, that
the Senate would pigeonhole any
changes approved by the House.
"The House is for major changes
In the act and the Labor Board and
wants a chance to express itself,” i
Mr. Cox said.
But Chairman Norton of the
Labor Committee and many ad
ministration leaders said that the
House would be wasting three or
four days which the debate is ex
pected to require.
The first step was to vote on par
liamentary procedure regulating the
discussion.
Mr. Smith, chairman of a spe
cial committee investigating the
Labor Board, is sponsoring 17 ;
amendments based on creation of
a new board, separation of the
agency's administrative and judicial
functions, and new safeguards for
employers and existing labor unions.
They were approved by himself
and Representatives Halleck and
Routzohn. but denounced by the
ether two committee members—
Representatives Healey of Massa
chusetts and Murdock of Utah,
Democrats.
Mrs. Norton and a majority of her
Labor Committee are supporting i
five amendments centered on the
addition of two members to the
present three-man board.
"That is the only amendment
necessary, if any are necessary.”
Mr. Healey told reporters. "The
addition of two members would give
a fresh viewpoint to the Labor
Board and might remove criticism
that has been directed at abnormal
ities by the present administrators
of the law.”
Mr. Murdock, who joined Mr.
Healey in signing a strongly-worded
criticism of the Smith committee |
recommendations, said he would
vote only for the Norton proposal
designed to protect craft unions in
an industrial plant.
Tile C. I. O. has opposed all the
pending amendments, while the
A. F. L. has indorsed the Norton
revisions. President William Green
of the A. F. L. said recently that
while he would prefer a new Labor
Board, he would accept an increase
from three to five members.
Mr. Cox yesterday called for an
end to the "unholy alliance" which
he said existed between the C. I. O.
and the Labor Board. He contend
ed in the House that the board—
he termed it "a nest of radicals and
subversive thinkers '—and the C. I.
O. had a “working arrangement"
which endangered efforts for na
tional unity.

Step #2 - Proper aging. No piece of Guaranteed
Meat leaves our Central Control Plant until it is properly
aged. Each piece of beef, for example, is dated and kept
in our air-conditioned Aging Room under daily inspection
... for just the right number of days to develop that
tenderness and flavor you’re looking for. We guarantee
proper aging—done the way famous chefs insist on.
Step #3 -Constant protection. All Guaranteed Meats are
scientifically safeguarded by constant temperature-control right to the moment
you buy them. (We guarantee constant temperature control—even our modern
delivery trucks are fully-enclosed "traveling refrigerators.”)
Step #4c-Daily deliveries. Each day your Sanitary
market man receives just the cuts and amounts of Guaranteed
Meats he expects to sell in 24 hours. No "held-over” meat
problem. (We guarantee you will always get our Guaranteed
Meats right at the crest of their goodness.)

reason whatsoever—your money back without fuss or
quibble. To secure refund, simply write your name and
address on a piece of paper, attach cash register slip and

meat. This offer holds good on all purchases of
