AF of L urges restoration of War Labor Board powers
American Federation of Labor leaders pressed Congress to curb NLRA discretion and restore the War Labor Board to its pre Rooseveltesque powers. They backed John L. Lewis's miners reaffiliation with AFL and outlined a plan to negotiate a return of the UMW to the AFL, with a no strike pledge if accepted. The council warned that modifying the board risks wartime labor fairness and cited Kaiser yard union shop cases as evidence. The flood crisis in Illinois and Arkansas dominated other news with evacuations, levee patrols, and halted oil movements.
