WASHINGTON, June 23--Final passage of the Taft-Hartley bill today made it the law that unions...
...Harry Truman signed the Taft-Hartley labor bill, which Congress had overwhelmingly approved, organized labor would never forgive him. At least that was what labor's spokesmen were telling him. On the other hand, if the President vetoed the bill, he would bear the brunt of public resentment over any new strike crisis. One crisis built up this week when U.S. shipping was threatened with immobilization by a strike of five C.I.O. maritime unions. Another crisis was ahead: John Lewis made deep rumblings.

...with the help of his growing circle of admirers. Along with photographers, he introduced most of the pioneers of modern art to the U.S. Among them were Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec.

The Wagner Act, far from giving power, allowed the unions to argue in the conference room rather than fight in the street. The men in management who realize that laws do not give power but only recognize it, see that the bill will hurt them almost as much as it will hurt labor. If the President uses his veto, he would...
