The delegates cheered the 18-minute speech, gave Ike a standing ovation at the end. He was the third President to come personally before the A.F.L. in its 73 years (the other two: Wilson in 1917, Hoover in 1930), and afterward even Meany noted "a lot of nice things" about the Eisenhower Administration.

But it had more victories than it had defeats, and is pledged to return to do battle on all these issues when the new Congress convenes in January...
...Board, which reversed its position that a union is free to strike during a contract any time after a 60-day cooling-off.
