Eisenhower promises Taft Hartley revisions and AFL talks
President Eisenhower pledged to remove union busting provisions from the Taft Hartley act and to give sympathetic consideration to organized labor's views. He spoke to AFL delegates at their annual convention in Los Angeles and received a warm reception interrupted by applause.

The president, on a campaign swing, urged delegates to convey his best wishes to members. AFL President George Meany welcomed him, while vice president Dave Beck said the speech showed his pro labor sentiment but noted political constraints.
