The State House
New Castle County
Unions Uncertain
On Next Congress
Fear Increased Sentiment For
Strike Controls But Doubt
Harsh COP CurbS

WASHINGTON - Up Some la
Dor leaders expressed the view yes
terday that sentiment for strike
control legislation may be stronger
i'm the next Congress.
They based this view on the gen
eral trend of the election results
and the personalities of the candi-
dates who won and those who were
beaten. and not on the fact that the
Republicans won control of the Sc
nate and House.
Both AF'L and CIO officials said
they expect the COP leadership will
have the 194S Presidential election
year continuously in mind and will
seek to refrain from antagonizing
labor.
"They realize the votes of the
working people and their friends
are considerable factor in any
election" said one top AFL advisor.
Il think they are too smart to for
get that"
James B. Carey, CIO secretary
treasurer. told reporter he felt
the Republican leadership would be
very careful to avoid making la
Dor angry"
After ALL" he commented. 1.-The
Republican Party is a lot different
now than it was 10 years ago. 1t
supports a great many things now
that it once opposed"
Not Defenders Beaten
But labor officials noted the de-
feat of some of their strongest de-
tenders in Congress, including
many backed by the CIO Political
Action Committee.
