Chairman J. Warren Madden, in a recent address, made his first extend ed answer to those attacking the Board. Reviewing its work, he points out that some 15,000 cases have been solved, most of them since the Su preme Court decision. In some thousands of cases, he says, the charges have been dismiss ed or withdrawn after the Board's Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Skinner and five children, of Hertford, visited Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Elliott Sunday afternoon. Mary Proctor is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. W. Hanbury, in Norfolk, Va. Mrs. , Whit , Matthews is spending gome time .with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Matthews. Mrs. Mary Wood and two daugh ters, Minnie Wilma and Mary Ruth, visited Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Wood, at Woodville on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. R. A. Perry, J. B. Perry, Miss Jeanette Perry, of Hertford, Mrs. Tempie Tarkenton and daughter, Louise, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Perry, near Sunbury. Mrs. Luna Bateman, who has been spending some time with her niece, Mrs. Reuben Stallings, returned to her home near Elizabeth Citv. on ployees to full freedom in self -organizations, and in the designation of representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of collective bargain ing. It forbids employers from dis missing employees because of union membership or engaging in union ac tivities, from - supporting company unions financially, or aiding in their organization, from refusing to bar gain with any labor organization chosen by the majority of employees through their free choice and from bargaining with any other group than the one chosen by the majority of employees as representatives of the workers. In brief , the Act recognized the right of laborers to organize and bar gain collectively and set up the Na tional Labor Relations Board to pro tect laborers in the full exercise of their rights. This- Board is charged with enforcement of the Act. It re ceives complaints, holds hearings and issues cease and desist orders. In the event that employees fail to com ply with the orders, they are referred to the Federal Circuit Court of Ap peals for review and enforcement, if upheld, To Protect Labor The NLRB is an independent agency. Its prime purpose being to see that laborers are protected in the exercise of the rights given by the Act itself. This Act, it should be clearly understood, was enacted sole ly for the protection of laborers. Consequently, the Board investigates issues, facts, practices and activities of employers or employees in labor controversies, sees that employees have the right to self-organization) to form, join or assist labor organiza tions, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, vvj engage ju uiiccitcu activities for the purpose of collective bargain ing or other mutual aids or protec tion; and is charged with the duty of preventing any person from engag ing in any unfair labor practice af fecting commerce. Courts Uphold Law The Act was upheld by the United States Supreme Court on April 12, 1937, in five cases appealed from lower courts. In six additional cases, the Court failed to announce any opinion adverse to the Labor Board or holding invalid any single provi sion of the law. In its opinion, the Court upheld the Act as a valid ex ercise of the commerce power of Congress, and that it did not violate the due process clause of the Consti tution, and declaimed that . the pro cedural provision - adequately safe guards against arbitrary action. Subsequently, the Court held that the Board could not be enjoined from holding hearings on complaints against employers, that in particular situations, when it finds domination or interference on the part of an -employer in the organization of his employees, the Board has the power to order the employer to withdraw recognition from the so-called com pany union; that the statute applies to an employer processing rawma terials within one Btate and shipping part of his product out of the state, and, finally, that workers on a strike remain employees and that the em- ployer, if he discriminates against : them, violates the Act. Because the hoard is a quasi judicial agency, it has been involved in the recent discussion of the rela tionship between the Court and such governmental agencies. ISdwin S. Smith,-one of the three members of : the Board, recently criticized the ten dency of some Circuit Courts to give f facts made by the Board,- although" the Act expressly says, if such find ings are supported by evidence, they snail oe nnai. . of the Act,' the- appropriateness of .the Board's ruling, and its jurisdic ; tion,' were; Intended to be reviewed by the courts, Mr. Smith said Con gress did not , intend to delegate to the courts the task of weighing the , evidence the Board had heard and of coming to an independent conclusion a to whether the Board has correctly appraised it.' -( t j 1 -' He points out that- "Labor's ex- ' perience with the courts has, gener ' ally speaking, not been a happy one.'' There , has been, he says, many atn tempts by; Labor to correct, by legis lation, the j jack 'of comprehension shown the social problems of employer-employee by certain courts, which have been slow to "adapt their pliance with the law, 111 some 1,200 cases the Board's agents have conducted elections to permit employees to select their representatives for collective bargain ing. In seventy-five per cent of these elections, he reports, established trade unions were selected, but in others the employees either selected a new and unaffiliated union or voted their desire to have no union. In some hundreds of cases, he con tinued, preliminary investigation seemed to establish the merits of complaints and the Board, unable to obtain compliance without formal proceedings, held public hearings in the community where the controversy arose. These have exposed unfair practices, ranging from minor viola tions of the statute to the terrorize tion of entire communities in complete disregard of civil liberty. In hundreds of other cases, the Board has issued formal decisions, stating the facts and setting forth conclusions as to what should be done to bring the situation in compliance with law. Mr. Madden admits that great credit "must be given to those employers who have lead the way to the acceptance" of the new law. At the same time, he says, the opposi tion, having failed to prevent passage of the law, has transferred itself to the courts in an effort to nullify the law. This concludes, as briefly as possi ble, our explanation of the Act and the functions of the Board, together with a history of what has happened since the Act was passed. The Act itself was passed to protect certain rights of Labor and the Board, under statute, can only take cognizance of violations of the Act. Whether the basic Act should be modified, in order that the Board may take cognizance of complaints of employers, is a matter upon which there is consider able dispute.
