Plan in Dark A Plan in Dark
Washington June 5 Amid an overwhelming test vote in the House debate on changes to the Wagner Act the question remained how revisions should be shaped. Members agreed yesterday to proceed with debate on dozens of proposals and may require two or three days to complete the discussion. The choice centered on amendments from Representative Smith and Chairman Norton of the Labor Committee. The Smith bill would create a five man National Labor Board and split judicial and administrative functions. Norton's plan would add two members to the present three and protect existing craft in plants. Supporters of the Smith bill sought to keep the measure intact while opponents urged new amendments. Similar tactics were used recently on Wage-Hour Law discussions amid warnings that the House might pigeonhole the subject.
