Senate debates anti strike bill delay and seize-freeze plan
Senator Byrd of Virginia leads opposition to delay in enacting labor reform as the Senate labor committee considers the Smith bill and Connallys seize-freeze proposal. Byrd argues swift action is essential to complete congressional action before holidays and to expand presidential powers over strikes and shop rules.
