Lost Opportunity in Congress Over War Labor Board Rules
The House failed to open wage and price control act amendments for floor debate after a party line vote. Republicans and southern Democrats blocked the pro rule, citing non germane amendments, while critics call it a retreat from labor reform and warn of political leverage by unions before an election. No record vote was kept on the pro rule, obscuring individual positions.
