Description |
Summary: A labor leader paints an unflattering portrait of his peer ("Taft-Hartley Law"). The Taft-Hartley Law, passed in 1947 despite Truman's veto, limited and controlled the power of labor unions, such as prohibiting certain kinds of strikes. It also demanded that unions disclose certain (Communist) political activities. The law was in response to the large-scale strikes after WWII, and the outspoken labor leader John L. Lewis. Interdepartmental date stamps from Christian Science Monitor on verso. Gift of Patricia Carmack Libbey and Marylee Carmack Reeder. |
