Compromise Labor Bill Approved by Conferees Amid Veto Fears
Washington May 23 The compromise labor bill won final approval from House and Senate conferees despite opposition from two dissenting members who urged President Truman to veto. Senators Murray and Lesinski warned the measure would spark conflict and uncertainty, while Hoffman resisted signing the final draft. Taft expressed cautious confidence that the Senate would support the compromise, which narrows some provisions to gain override chances. The Wagner Act issues remain to be resolved by the NLRB and related courts.
