...labor constituents that the AFL-CIO'S political action group, COPE, awards Schweiker a 100% rating and made him the first Pennsylvania Republican Senator to win its endorsement for re-election (in 1974). Among other things, he voted to repeal Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley Act, the right-to-work provision that allows states to outlaw the closed shop. He was a co-sponsor of the original Humphrey-Hawkins Bill, which would have committed the Government to take potentially inflationary budgetary steps to achieve full employment. The liberal Americans for Democratic Action gives him an 89% rating...
...Ford Administration, anxious to keep long strikes from disrupting the recovery, is keeping a nervous eye on the rubber situation. Yet mediators have not seen fit to call round-the-clock negotiations, let alone recommend that the Administration ask for a Taft-Hartley Act injunction that would stop the strike for 80 days. Such injunctions are permitted legally only if a strike damages the national "health and safety" and, says one federal official, "we would have a hell of a time making a case" for an injunction...
Udall comes from a highly political Arizona family, and he has won reelection seven times, with increasing majorities in a conservative state. No dogmatist in his views, he voted against repeal of the state right-to-work section of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1965 because his state fiercely favored the section-though today he says that as President, he would work for repeal.

And yet "extent of organization" ceased to be a criterion for unionization in 1947, with the passage of the Taft-Hartley Amendment. Previously, the Massachusetts state labor board would award union status to different stores in a department store chain and to different floors in factories, simply on the basis of the extent to which they were already organized. Now, however, the NLRB is bound by only two ambiguous and often...
Nature Poet. This meant that his sense of sharing a project with others, crucial to any experimenter, had to be found at home. The only audience was other artists-the group around the "291" Gallery, including John Marin and Marsden Hartley, presided over by Photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who was, in Sherwood Anderson's words, "father to so many puzzled, wistful children of the arts in the big, noisy, growing and groping America." Like other "291" artists, Dove was a nature poet: he never contemplated going to the extreme of "pure" abstraction. "I can claim no background," he once reflected...
