D. C., Nov. 26.—Representative Mary Nor- | ton of Jersey City, chairman lof the powerful House Labor Committee, today sounded the first note in the storm of protest against the present setup of the National Labor Relations Board expecied at the coming session of Congress. Mrs. Norton said, “I will dis- cuss the subject with Senator Wagner when the session con- venes and if the force of public opinion is such that the National Labor Relations Act needs amending, we will attempt to do just that”. The Jersey congresswoman, who | successfully lect last session's bit- ter Wages and Hours war, added, “I co think that the law itself is a good one and it should not be sacrificed if one part is not func- tioning smoothly”. She admitted that changes in the present set-up of the NLRB were the most-discussed subjects of her recent campaign, and that she had had to answer more questions about her attitude in regard to the law than ali other ‘subjects ¢ombined.' The likelihood of amending the act appears to be more certain at this ‘time than ever before, Mrs: ‘Norton said, pointing when, Senator Wagner, author of the. act, started his recent cam- paign, he said flatly that the act would not be changed; but dur ing the last week of the cam- paign had been quoted as stdting that if changes or amendments were necessary they would be made, It is known that as far back as last session of Congress a@ score or more amendments to the act were in process of prep- aration by various congressmen. Expects Lively Session With the new alignment in Congress, especially with the in- fiux of Republican ‘members, a real “hot time” is expected by the Labor Committee _ chairman, wher. the. legislation, as she be- lieves it inevitably will, comes up for djseussion.
