Eisenhower backs realistic Taft Hartley amendments
General Dwight D. Eisenhower told AFL delegates he favored realistic amendments to the Taft Hartley act but rejected repeal. He urged keeping core labor rights while preventing union busting, and pressed for penalties for coercive practices without surrendering union bargaining rights. He contrasted his stance with Truman and Stevenson, affirming a nonrepeal path. He also warned unions and employers should swear loyalty similarly, and opposed compulsory arbitration by his rival.

Washington reports that Moscow and Beijing sealed agreements boosting Soviet leverage in the Far East as a counter to U.S. power. The centerpiece was Russia’s rejection of a Port Arthur withdrawal under a 1950 pact, with the Changchun Railway notably affected while retaining terminal control.
