Poor Man's Philosopher: Are You A Man Or A Map e

Brookings Urges Long Range Tax Cuts for Privileged Groups
The Brookings Institution urges a gradual tax cutting program targeting corporations and high income individuals to boost industry health and lower prices. It rejects large cuts in sales or excise taxes, arguing they are untenable due to their revenue role and minimal business impact. The plan, in a Lewis H. Kimmel–led report, calls for a moderate immediate cut with smaller reductions later as finances improve.

UMW Violated Taft-Hartley, NLRB examiner rules
A National Labor Relations Board trial examiner found United Mine Workers violated the Taft-Hartley act by invading six nonunion mines in Kentucky during a June coal strike. About 2,000 miners in a caravan entered mine property, rounded up nonunion workers, and forced them to leave. The examiner tied the actions to an organized drive, with sheriffs and state patrol help, and recommended cease and desist orders and notices. Nonunion workers were idle about 10 days.
