The Senate failed to end debate on labor law revisions for a fourth time as a cloture vote stood 58 to 1, two short of the 60 needed. Supporters, backed by organized labor and the Carter administration, said they were encouraged by growing strength, with a fifth anti filibuster attempt planned. Orrin Hatch urged Byrd to withdraw the measure, while Labor Secretary Ray Marshall noted anti filibuster gains despite votes starting at 42.
