Evening star., 1948-11-07
By Gerard D. Reilly


In the recent campaign the big unions spent
tremendous amounts Of money and effort TO
induce rank-and-nle workers to vote against
those members Of the Eghtieth Congress who
had backed the Taft-Hartley Act. To do this.
Of course, meant grossly misrepresenting the
actual content Of this legislation. The extent
to which this technique Of distortion succeeded
was largely due to the fact that Gov. Dewey
let it 60 unanswered. Had he been less con-
fident Of coasting in, he might have realized
that the President had diverted public atten-
ton from the real failings Of the Eghtieth
Congress by seizing upon its labor record as
his central issue.
The American people, however, have no
fondness for monopolies and special privilege,
whether capitalist or labor. Having no hope
Of winning over the union officials, the Re-
publican nominee should have spiked their
guns by going over their heads to the workers
themselves and explaining, the issues.
His caginess in this respect not cnly cost
him his own opportunity, but undermined the
position Of Senator Ball and others who had
placed the interests Of the country above their
own political fortunes.
Despite the overturn there will still be q
majority In both houses Of the Eighty first
Congress who voted for the Taft-Hartley Act.
Should the administration yield to leftist pres
sure, therefore, in formulating its labor pro-
gram, the same unhappy impasse which marred
President Truman's relationship with the
Democratic Seventy y-ninth and Republican
Eghtieth Congress is bound to occur. It Is
to be hoped that in O time Of international
crisis the President will refrain from any
course 50 damaging to his own leadership.
