Exclude Borderline Farm Workers From Wagner Act
President Truman signed an appropriation bill to exclude border line agricultural workers from the Wagner Act provisions. The bill allocates 1.155 billion dollars for the labor department and the Federal Security Agency and reestablishes the U S employment service to states on November 15. A Senate amendment bars Wagner Act funds from cases involving agricultural workers defined by the Wagner Act. The CIO Foods and Tobacco Workers union says the amendment would drop about a million people from Wagner Act protection.
