Labor unions threaten House members over wage hour bill
Labor's Non Partisan League led by John L. Lewis labeled many Congress members for defeat in the fall. The blacklist targeted chiefly House Rules Committee members who blocked the wage hour bill and pressured votes with threats of reprisals at the polls. Names included 15 veteran chairmen and several Democrats and Republicans. Oliver said the list marked those opposed to AFL policies and supported ending seniority based chairmanship.
