Taft denounces Durkin labor secretary pick in Ike cabinet
President-elect Dwight Eisenhower selects Democrat Martin P. Durkin for labor secretary. Sen. Robert A. Taft calls the move incredible and an affront to union members. Durkin, a Chicago Democrat and former AFL plumbers union president, says he aims to foster accord between organized labor and the new administration and support Taft-Hartley law revisions. Taft asserts the choice jeopardizes labor reform and he may chair the Senate Labor Committee to oppose changes. Durkin supported Stevenson in the campaign and is seen as a peacemaker candidate.
