Madden urges four Wagner Act amendments to aid employers
Washington May 26 AP Chairman J Warren Madden of the National Labor Board urged Congress to study four proposed Wagner Act amendments to aid employers in labor disputes. He endorsed allowing employer petitioning for a bargaining election with safeguards and set standards for determining the bargaining unit. He also favored clarifying contracts when workers switch unions and extending hearings on charges from five to ten days. Madden noted the act does not require immediate changes but merits further consideration. The day also saw Senate Finance Committee recommending removal of a debt-bonding limit and Roosevelt sending a power development program to congressional leaders.
