Organized labor plans sustained action after Solidarity Day to convert mass turnout into grass roots lobbying against Reagan budget cuts.

The Better Government Association urges a House panel to block bypassing rules that bar direct political donations to lawmakers. It says about 1.8 million dollars flowed to caucus groups last year from corporations unions and foreign entities. It flags lax reporting no penalties and no clerk checks as enabling these contributions and calls for reforms including moving caucuses out of congressional offices if private outside funding continues.
