Truman veto override falls short on labor bill vote
President Truman’s veto of the labor dispute measure is sustained as 265 members vote to override while 135 back the president. The 2 3rds threshold to pass was not met. The act would have created a federal mediation board and restricted strikes during dispute resolution. Truman calls for broader domestic labor reforms and emergency strike control.
