Tinman Finds R Difficult Td Fill 3 New NLB Jobs
Washington, D. C. — President
Truman is having his troubles in
finding anyone suitable and will
ing to accept appointment to the
National Labor Relations Board..
This situation may delay reor
ganization of the NLRB for at
least two weeks.
Under the new Taft-Hartley
Act, the present board must be
expanded by two new members.
Furthermore, a general counsel,
with autonomous position and
enormously important powers,
must be named. All three are
subject to Senate confirmation. '
The President's problem in find-!

P. Van Arkel, who resigned in.

I ’
protest over the law, mod in ap
pointing new member* seemed to
jbe that too many possible candi
dates hold critical views of the
wisdom and practicability of the
law.
Many men of national statute
in the lahor field, suitable either
for board members or for gen
eral counsel, have publicly stated
their extreme dislike and distrur.t
of the new law. Included in this
category ard at least five' former
public members of the War labor
Board—Lloyd K. Garrison, Frank
P. Graham, William H. Pavi;,
Nathan Feinsinger and George W,
Taylor.
Such a statement has also been
made publicly by William M.
Leiserson, former NLRB mem
ber.
I^ie present members of the
board discussed the problem with
President Truman. Among pos
sible appointees mentioned at the
meeting, it was learned, were
former Senator Robert LaFollrtte,
and Joseph Miller, recently spc< ial
labor relations assistant to White
House Advisor John R. Steelman,

Labor Department Conciliation
Service.
ADA OFFICIALS URGE VETO
OF “DEPRESSION" BILLS
Washington, D. C.—In an open
letter to President Truman,
"Americans for Democratic Ac
tion” urged the Chief Executive
to veto the Taft-Hartley Bill.
Branding it as “undemocratic,"
the letter atate^ that it “penal
izes 20 million workers behind
the false front of attempting to
reform certain - specific labor
abuses.” Wilson W. Wyatt, AJ)A
National Chairman, Leon Hender
son* Hubert H. Humphrey, Mayor
of Minneapolis, and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jr„ signed the letter to
the President.
That Taft-Hartley Bill, "the
ADA officials charged, is a bill
which “so seriously weakens un
ion bargaining rights while
strengthening the employer that
increased industrial strife is in
evitable.”
