Senate Enters Final Battle on Labor Bill
The Senate moved into the final skirmishes of the 1949 labor bill fight after rejecting the Truman repeal plan. Senator Lucas predicted the second Taft proposal would pass, with a presidential veto likely if it reached the White House. AFL and CIO deserted the repeal push, opposing a measure adding injunctions and plant seizure powers, preferring the Taft-Hartley framework for a presidential campaign issue. Truman Democrats planned no amendments.
