The New Deal In Washington by Rodney Dutcher
Washington January 3 Sparks may fly in the coming Congress over Americas new membership in the International Labor Organization. Opponents led by Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts argue the move advances the League of Nations and skirts hearings and a quorum. The piece recounts Gompers role in ILO origins and notes ILO’s limited power to draft treaties, with 1935 Washington as a future official ILO representation. It also references President Wilson, Lodge, and the 15 year delay before US membership. Donald Richbergs humor contrasts NRA debates.
