Lewis claims AFL amendments aided by anti labor firms
John L. Lewis presented what he called documentary proof to the Senate labor committee alleging AFL Wagner Act amendments were drafted with the help of lawyers for major anti labor corporations. The CIO leader cited 14 named firms and described industrial espionage and gun purchases linked to those interests, saying they influenced policy through the NAM and pressuring the labor board. Two listed companies tied to past steel strikes were noted, with secret conferences dated 1938 in New York and Chicago.
