Closed Shop Defense Called By Lawyer At Senate Hearings
New York lawyer Louis Waldman told the Senate labor committee that outlawing the closed shop would invite strikes and aid Communists. He cited two auto industry leaders backing bills to outlaw the practice and industry wide bargaining, estimating 2,000,000 union workers under Communist control and 13,000,000 unions without Communist footholds. He urged Congress to destroy the closed shop by legislation to curb Communist influence in labor.
