John Feikens of Michigan says only Eisenhower can decide the party's response as chairmen fly to Denver for a breakfast with the President. Vice President Nixon notes 65 million workers are earning and saving more, arguing it outweighs labor side attacks. Feikens warns major unions may back Democratic candidates but says disclosure of union activities is the best weapon.

Picket on Duty At Pike Project Here
Five local unions organized a Thursday picket at the Kansas Turnpike interchange project at 6th and Iowa Streets to protest alleged use of nonaunion labor. L. D. Buell of Local 1290 said protests will continue until a contractor signs an agreement or completes the job. The action targets Midwest Construction Co of Horton as a subcontractor for Ith and Town, and S. E. Gustafson of Sioux Falls as general contractor for grading and drainage on a 3 1/2 mile stretch northwest of Lawrence. Gustafson’s supervisor said he is unaware of the picket, and Buell claimed the unions are paid under local scale. Other contractors are said to be cooperating with union pay scales.
