AFL Leader Demands Wagner Act Revisions
President William Green of the American Federation of Labor urged that amendments to the Wagner Act be opened to hearings at once. He said hearings should proceed regardless of peace talks with the CIO, noting AFL proposals seek major changes and asserting the Senate Labor Committee should not deny AFL input. The CIO opposes the changes, which would curb Labor Board powers and allow employer petitions to determine recognized employee groups.
