Southern Democrats may chair major committees, while bi partisan farm blocks and labor groups face tougher odds. Dewey exits as a two term GOP hopeful. Wallace fades from national politics.

Wagner Law Return Likely Not a Full New Deal Repeal
The article argues a straight repeal of the Wagner labor law via Taft Hartley is unlikely in the new Democratic Congress. It notes union leaders credit Truman’s victory but doubt a total reversal, with Truman possibly seeking targeted or non punitive labor measures instead. It recalls Truman using Taft Hartley injunction powers against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers.
