Taft faces split over Taft-Harley compromise
Senator Taft unveiled a twenty eight amendment version of the Taft Har adley Act at a luncheon, denouncing him as radical by NAM. He argues the revisions balance labor and management with unions liable for unfair practices while leaving injunctions and plant seizures as a doubtful option. Support within Congress looks mixed as GOP liberals and some Democrats back the plan, while conservative leaders may resist in the House. Public opinion and a potential Truman veto loom over its fate in 1950 and 1952 politics.
