...doubtless against their wishes -by the Democratic Party. It no longer seems to fit them as comfortably as it once did. It used to be the home of the working man, but now he does not feel entirely welcome. He views the forces behind McGovern as elitist, overly ideological, antilabor and oblivious of his needs. Meanwhile, the President has been quite attentive. Since many of the ethnics are refugees from Communism, they are suspicious even of President Nixon's attempt to improve relations with both Russia and China. But they are even more mistrustful of what George McGovern might...
...much of the time, but he flunked one crucial test. He voted against cutting off a filibuster that was preventing a vote on repeal of the right-to-work provision of the Taft-Hartley Act-a sacred matter with labor.

Party loyalty could not hold either Assistant Minority Leader Robert Griffin of Michigan or Maine's Margaret Chase Smith, chairman of the Senate G.O.P. Conference. Both of them announced that they would vote against confirmation...
...integrated locals to a lively interest in civil rights. In the era of the twelve-hour day and child labor in mines and mills, the I.W.W. was one of labor's more effective weapons. The Wobblies engendered real fear and antagonism in many quarters, and perhaps intensified antilabor prejudice. But over the long run, the Wobblies undoubtedly helped to open the nation's eyes to the imperfections...
