CLEVELAND, March 13 (AP). Elliott Roosevelt criticised the National Labor Relations Act yesterday, calling for amendment of its administrative features "to give equal representation to capital and labor. "A distinguished jurist agreeable to both sides should hold the balance of power," the President's son said' in a speech here before the Cleveland Automotive Trade Association.

"Both capital and labor should be represented equally on the board. "The act should be amended to have the Department of Justice 'cany on the investigation work and the prosecution of complaints and the board should merely pass judgment on the facts presented to it. "I think there is a good chance that it can be amended especially if the people will vociferously make known their interest to their Congressmen who are candidates for re-election. I think it should be amended to give the employers a right to complain, too, when labor oveiruns itself. I would place equal responsibility upon labor unions and corporations and make their liability the Collision After 200,000 Miles.
