Wagner measure sparks senate debate on labor board
In Washington on May 15 the Wagner labor relations board bill faced Senate debate with backing from labor groups and liberals in Congress. Wagner argued the NRA alone cannot guarantee collective bargaining and the bill would create a permanent national labor relations board to oversee elections and five unfair labor practices. The exchange focused on industrial peace and application of democratic bargaining rules. A separate note announced a Board of Pharmacy meeting in Morgantown June 20-21 to examine licensed applicants at West Virginia University College of Pharmacy.
