Washington reporters note broad labor support for James P. Mitchell as secretary of labor in a six year Eisenhower administration tenure.

Mitchell calls for unions to align more with national public welfare while expanding their influence beyond bargaining. The event signals unity among labor leaders though not blanket political support for Mitchell as VP hopeful.
