POLITICAL WRANGLE IN
SENATE DEFERS VOTE
ON N L R B JOBS
Washington, D. C.—A political
wrangle engaged in by the Senate
during the final hours of its clos
ing session prevented a final vote
on President Truman’s nomina
tions to fill new NLRB jobs cre
ated by the Taft-Hartley law.
Mr. Truman appointed former
Senator Abe Murdock of Utah
and J. Copeland Gray of Buffalo
to new positions on the National
Labor Relations Board. He chose
Robert N. Denham, NLRB trial
examiner, to serve as general
counsel of the board.
Thus the Senate, which had the
last word to say on the new anti
labor pleasure, failed to confirm
the men designated to play an
important part in the adminis
tration of the new law. This will
serve only to cloud the already
complicated situation and will de
lay the reorganisation on a per
manent basis of the NLRB.
The way was paved for Senate
action when the Senate Labor
Committee approved the Presi
dent’s appointments. It voted
unanimously in favor of Mr. Den
ham for the new position of gen
eral counsel. The vote was 9 to
3 jn favor of Murdock and Gray.
UR-00 ELECTIONS CLOSE;
MAJORITY EUHBLES VOTING
Washington, D. O.—Seventy
four per cent of th^ ballots cast
(faring June in elections conduct
ed by the National Labor Rela
tions Board were in favor of col
lective bargaining by some labor
organisation.
The NLRB report showed a nip
and tack race between the AFL
and CIO in the nuaiber of elec
tions won. The AFL was victo
rious in 147 elections, or 62 per
cent of those in which it partici
pated, while the CIO won out on
107 occasions with a percentage
score of 66 per cent.
Contests pitting the AFL and
CIO directly against each other
resulted in 24 AFL victories as
against 32 wins chalked up by
the CIO.
The 864 cases filed with NLRB
in June represented a decrease
of 38 per cent from the number
filed in June a year ago. The
backlog of cases still to be com
pleted is, however, 10 per cent
greater than the figure for June,
1946. At the end of last month,
6,073 cases were awaiting action
at various procedural levels.
A total of 431 elections were
conducted during the month with
64,063 ballots cast. This repre
sented 87 per cent of those eli
gible to vote.
