...Howard Smith ("Judge" to his cronies) has long campaigned against union labor as a monopoly. (For his Virginia dairymen he favors a virtual monopoly of the Washington milk market.) His name has appeared on no major legislation, but in 1938 he put through the House 17 amendments to the Wagner Labor Relations Act; the Senate killed them.

For most practical purposes the right of collective bargaining, guaranteed by the Wagner Act, is now useless for the duration...
