Government miners protest and labor bill debate in 1947
Government officials weighed whether miners acted on free choice or under leadership as they protested passage of the labor bill. The Taft Hartley act may not stop a coal shutdown now, with a board of inquiry possible and Truman could seek an injunction after the report. Hyde, 26, sentenced to death for a Berryville murder, awaits execution July 21. The political fight over taxing and vetoes continues, with GOP plans to delay actions and Senate hesitancy to pass a tax bill this session.
