Union Protest Over Nonunion Painter at Truman House
An AFL painters union in Independence complains to President Truman about hiring a nonunion worker to paint the summer White House residence. John H. Moler, a 67 year old local painter, says he has painted for the Trumans for years and questions why the union objects. Jack Cooke says a letter to the president was mailed outlining the issue. Moler was reportedly hired by George Wallace, Truman's brother in law.
