Curtis Attacks New Labor Bill in Senate
Sen. Carl T. Curtis rebukes the proposed labor bill as inadequate, joining Sen. Goldwater in criticism while Sen. McClellan supports it as 100 percent bill. Kennedy defends the measure as meeting the committee’s reform recommendations though not all needs are fully addressed. The bill aims to curb abuses by tightening union member control and requiring public reporting of union finances, with Taft Hartley changes including repeal of the noncommunist ban on union officials.
