Senate Rejects Cloture in 14B Repeal Debate
The Senate vote 47 to 45 failed to end debate on repealing Section 14B of the Taft Hartley act. The move would erase the union shop ban in 19 states, a key Johnson administration goal highlighted by Republicans as a partial setback for labor interests. House-Senate talks continued on a Capitol home rule proposal for Washington with proposals for a charter-writing commission. Rep Barber Conable urged glass enclosures and earphones for gallery observers to better follow proceedings.
