Democrats Start Drive to Wipe Out Taft Hartley Act

In Washington on January 6 1947 leading Democrats began a congressional bid to repeal the Taft Hartley Act with President Truman urging the change. Senator Elbert Thomas and Rep Lesinski predict new repeal and labor bills though opposition from Republicans looms. The battle centers on restoring the Wagner Act with limited improvements including banning jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts and curbing economic force in contract disputes. The party gains on labor committees favor repeal though Senate debate is expected to be heated. Taft counters that the President’s plan goes beyond Taft Hartley while some features may remain.
