Abstract

The Labor Fight on Capitol Hill
Coffin, Tris | May 25, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

Wheels of legislation on Capitol Hill are stopped. Price control, appropriations, atomic-energy control are making no progress. The U.S. Senate took time out to give mine worker John L. Lewis a verbal lashing and to wave anti-labor bills in the air. The House is twiddling its thumbs, waiting on the Senate. Downtown last week, doors at the rear of the Labor Department's huge auditorium swung shut on the coal-strike meetings. Inside Lewis and Charles O'Neill, the mine operator, were deadlocked on the welfare fund.
