Labor Strikes Injunctions Bill Killed in Senate
The Senate killed by a standing vote a bill to amend laws on labor strike injunctions after mediation efforts. Sen. Edmund R. St. John Jr. urged the measure citing the 1960 GE Pittsfield strike, while Sen. A. Frank Foster argued there was no need for the law. St. John rebutted that courts should aid workers amid alleged misconduct by picketers.
