Labor's Political Drive Slowed By Hartley Indictment
Labor leaders face a split in AFL and CIO loyalty as a federal grand jury indicts the CIO and its president Philip Murray under Taft Hartley. Indictment may chill union political spending, while factions within AFL and CIO hinder a unified campaign to defeat Taft Hartley supporters. Supreme Court action hoped before June recess, and internal discord delays AFL’s political education league and CIO PAC planning.
