LATHAM FAVORS LABOR ACT, HITS AMENDMENTS

In the eleventh of a series of educational radio talks on history and government sponsored by the Guardian, Earl G. Latham '31, instructor in Government, defended the Wagner Labor Relations Act and opposed amendments designed to protect the employer last night.

After explaining the workings of the Labor Court as an executive and legislative body, and tracing the history of the act in the hands of the Supreme Court, Latham took up two of the proposed amendments which will come before the present Congress. The first transferring judicial power to the District Courts, he held would only delay action, whereas the second replacing the present impartial Labor Court with one representing different factions would swing the balance of power too far in favor of the employer.
