Truman Faces Decision on Tax Cut and Labor Bills
President Truman must decide within days whether to veto or sign two bills from Congress. The labor bill passed with a two-thirds majority in both houses, while the tax-cut bill did not. A veto could lead to a possible override on the labor bill, but the tax-cut bill would likely remain defeated. The moves will influence the 1948 campaign and affect taxpayers, unions, employers, and the public.
