becisive Test Vote To Revise Labor Act Leaves Fate Unsettled Ballot Is 292 to 106; Extent of Changes Yet To Be Decided On By the Associated Press. An overwhelming test vote in the House for changes in the Wagner Labor Relations Act left unanswered today the question of how extensive the revisions should be . Members agreed yesterday, 292 to 106, to proceed with cebate and de- cide on_ dozens of proposals that have been offered. It may take two or three days to complete the dis- cussion. Basically. the choice lay between amendments introduced by Repre- sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir- ginia, and those by Chairman Nor- ton of the Labor Committee, but others can be submitted from the floor. | The bill by Mr. Smith, chairman | of a committee investigating the| National Labor Relations Board,| would create a new five-man board and separate its judicial and admin- | istrative functions. Mrs. Norton's measure would add two new mem- | bers to the present three-man | agency and protect existing craft unions in an industrial plant. Some members who favor the Wagner Act as it stands sought to “load up” the Smith bill with un- wanted additional amendments so that it would be unacceptable to its sponsors. Similar tactics were used | recently when amendments to the| ‘Wage-Hour law were being dis- | cussed, with the result that the House pigeonholed the entire sub-| Ject. Bitter debate developed yesterday while the House was considering whether to take up the Wagner Act proposals. Representative Cox, Democrat, of Georgia started it with a 29-point criticism of the Labor Board, saying that 1t was a “professional trouble- maker” and that, instead of sta- bilizing employer-worker relations, 1s had fomented industrial strife Mrs. Norton retorted that M Cox might as well have said that the ‘Wagner Act should be repealed Representative Routzohn, Repub- lican. of Oh a member of Mr. Smiths com wee, accused “two members of the Labor Board” with | approving sit-down strikes and one of them with being “on too friendly | terms” with Harry Bridges, C. I. O. ‘West Coast maritime leader. r. | Routzohn did not identify the mem- bers, Representative Murdock. Demo- crat, of Utah, another Smith com- | mitteeman, argued that the rank and file of organized labor opposed amendments to the law. Hafch Act s Reported To House by Committee By the Associated Press. Extension of the Hatch “anti- Politics” Act was recommended to the House today by a majority of its Judiciary Committee, but the minor- ity contended that the proposal was bureaucratic and undermined State authority. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.,V WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1940. 4 K A9 DORMITORY DEDICATED—Secretary of the Interior Ickes and President Mordecai Johnson of Howard University pictured yesterday at the formal dedication of the George William Cook dormitory. Ickes D;d@s Cook Dormitory at Howard University Fight to Save World From Dislocation and Destruction Urged Secretary of the Interior Ickes vesterday called on schools “to pre- pare men to preserve an orderly world from complete dislocation and destruction.” The occasion was the dedication of the new George Wil- liam Cook dormitory for men at Howard University. “We stand today great crossroads of history,” Mr. Ickes said. “Until now the task of education has been to prepare men to take a useful and desired place at one of the in an orderly world. Now the task | of education is to build within our hearts a purpose hard as steel to destroy utterly the causes that re- sult in such catastrophes as the present—no matter what the cost.” In dedicating the structure to Dean Cook the cabinet member said: “For 57 years there was no more faithful, devoted servant of the university than he. He entered Howard as a boy in 1876, and his association with it covered the wide ange of student. teacher, dean, sec- retary and alumni trustee. His loy- alty to the ideals of this university ! 'was exemplary.” Truths “Sorely Tried.” Today, however, Mr. Ickes de- clared, the truths to which Dean The opposing stands were taken | E in two reports on the Senate-ap- | proved bill to make the Hatch Act prohibit certain political activities | by State employes paid partly by Federal money.
