The National Maritime Union at its sixth biennial convention in New York on October 1 heard criticism of President Truman and a push for a third party with Henry Wallace. National Secretary Ferdinand Smith said Truman invited Congress to pass labor control laws that led to Taft-Hartley and noted the veto lacked a concerted effort to gather enough Democratic votes to sustain it. He linked rising third party interest to public dissatisfaction with big business in the major parties.
