Labor Bill Sparks Party Split Over Taft Hartley Repeal
Washington reports clash as Senator Elbert Thom (D Utah) pushes to repeal Taft Hartley and restore Wagner Act protections. Ives (R NY) warns amendments may be added if it reaches the Senate floor. CIO counsel Arthur Goldberg backs Thom as speedy, practical. The Wagner act of 1935 created union rights and the National Labor Relations Board, later amended by Taft Hartley in 1947. Critics seek a flexible parity system with broader farm supports and a broader food program to lift consumption.
