Roosevelt confronts AFL over labor decisions and auto vote
A Tuesday AP report from Washington says President Roosevelt warned the American Federation of Labor that some labor decisions rest with him. The AFL faced a crushing loss as auto workers favored no union or a non AFL option in early ballots under the NRA board. AFL leaders blamed officials and the President, while Roosevelt defended government stance and his own authority. The dispute echoes broader tensions within labor and administration relations.
