Labor Board Changes Held Imperative
Washington March 20 A majority of the Smith committee reports an investigation of the labor board. It recommends 17 revisions to the Wagner Act to curb what it calls overzealousness and predatory encroachment on workers rights. Opponents argue the changes would depart from the Act. The report reaffirms the right of employees to organize and bargain through their representatives and urges protecting that role. The committee also proposes limiting board actions on sit down strikes and clarifying that collective bargaining does not require a signed agreement.

Turkey Opens Straits To Allied Warships
In Bucharest on March 30, reports say Turkey agreed to allow British and French warships to pass the Dardanelles to cut German supply lines from Russia into the Black Sea. The plan allegedly includes four naval bases at Trebizond, Samsun, and Sinope for contraband use, though London officials offered no confirmation. Bulgarian deputies suggest Turkey may permit passage to aid allied blockade, potentially affecting Russia’s non German trade and the wider Balkan stance.
