Opposition Attacks Brandeis Over Conduct Before Senate
Louis D Brandeis faced sharp charges from Samuel W Winslow and Hollia R Bailey during a Senate subcommittee probe into his Supreme Court qualifications. Winslow linked Brandeis to unprofessional conduct tied to his former directorship at United Shoe Machinery Co, while Bailey accused him of acting for one party while representing others in the Warren Paper mill estate dispute. The Boston bar’s opinion was mixed, calling Brandeis skilled but not entirely trustworthy, as the discussion touched on his political leanings with a Wilson Democrat.
