Hoffman Challenges NLRB over Speech Free Press
Rep. Hoffman of Michigan directly challenges the National Labor Relations Board over free speech and press rights after the board ruled a House speech he gave in an unfair labor practice. Hoffman's letter says copies of the speech were republished by the Constitutional Educational League and he will supply copies at printing cost to interested parties to read before joining the C I O. The dispute triggers broader debate on press freedom and labor laws amid criticism of Wagner Act administration.
