Labor Bill Lashed by Democrats
Six Democratic members of the House Labor Committee charged on Monday that the Republican backed labor bill would roll back 50 years of progress. The GOP majority argued the measure would benefit both workers and employers and end industrial strife. Democratic critics called the bill a plan to repeal key labor relations acts and condemned Republican leaders as enemies of organized labor. A heated Senate scene followed with CIO leaders opposing both house and senate proposals as a step toward fascism, while Taft faced criticism from Aiken over the single omnibus bill approach.
