Senate Overrides Truman Labor Bill By Wide Margin
The House overrode the veto 331 to 83 in a four to one margin. Labor leaders called the measure a slave bill as they urged lawmakers to sustain the veto. Senators Sparkman and Lucas changed to support the veto override while Tobey Overton voted yes. Wagner did not vote. CIO and AFL leaders criticized the outcome as labor concerns loomed over policy. The events followed Truman’s earlier veto and a letter from Truman to Senator Barkley urging against overriding.
