Guffey Links FDroes With Anti-Unionists
Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania, a Roosevelt stalwart, said in a radio address that factions opposing the president in 1936 are now waging a broad anti-union campaign. The talk was seen as an effort to ease tensions with John L. Lewis and the Labor’s Non Partisan League, possibly with White House consent. He warned the anti-union drive is backed by those who warned dire consequences if Roosevelt was reelected. The labor movement has risen in support of the New Deal.
