Warns Truman Not To Veto Labor Bill
Washington May 4 Senator Byrd warns President Truman not to veto labor proposals now before Congress, saying such a move would be catastrophic for Democratic labor support and could aid a Republican presidential victory in 1948. Senator Hatch disputes the view, suggesting vetoes could cut both ways politically as labor curbs clash with party aims. The bill would bar union coercion in selecting bargaining agents, outlaw closed shops, set a federal mediation agency, permit injunctions against strikes, and allow suits for contract breaches. Virginia Railroad protests a merger and stock voting trust removal, while Baltimore man Bien W. Spies, 66, dies after a fall from a nursing home window where he had been a patient for a month.
