III

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT AND PROPOSED

AMENDMENTS

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1940

UNITED STATES SENATE,
COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND LABOR,

Washington, D. C.

The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a. m., in room 357, Senate Office Building, Senator Elbert D. Thomas (chairman), presiding.

Present: Senators Thomas (chairman), Ellender, Davis, and Murray. (Senator Holt absent because of pressing official business.)

The CHAIRMAN. The committee will be in order. The reporter will make the proper notation to show this is a continuation of the hearing which adjourned last summer.

Mr. Murray, please.

STATEMENT OF PHILIP MURRAY, VICE PRESIDENT, UNITED MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA

The CHAIRMAN. For the record, Mr. Murray, will you state your name in full, your address, and your occupation or position? You may be seated if you wish.

Mr. MURRAY. My name is Philip Murray. My residence is Pittsburgh, Pa. I am vice president of the United Mine Workers of America.

The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Murray, we have felt at liberty to break in at any time on any of the witnesses, but we have always asked them whether they wanted us to do it or not. Do you have any objection if we have questions?

Mr. MURRAY. None whatever, Senator, none whatever.

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Lewis has been unavoidably detained. I doubt that he will be able to appear before the committee. I am, therefore, charged with the responsibility of testifying here before your committee for both he and I. I have a prepared statement here which, if it pleases the committee, I would like to have placed in the record, covering, in substance, extemporaneous remarks that I might have to make concerning the prepared paper. If there is no objection on the part of the committee I shall present for the record this copy of my prepared statement, and with your indulgence I would like, if possible, due to Mr. Lewis' unavoidable absence, to be given a sufficient amount of leeway to enable me to take up the time of your committee during the forenoon session today and perhaps conclude tomorrow morning.
