House 6. 0. P. Meets
In Secret on Plans
For Labor Debate
BY the Associoisd Press

House Republican leaders called
a final secret strategy session to-
day to get ready for the kickofi
of Congress labor law debate.
The debate is scheduled to start
tomorrow, and it may last the rest
OF the week. The House has
scheduled no other major bills.
Backers of the administration
bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley
Act also were mobilizing their
forces, but the Republicans
mapped the buster schedule.
Plans developed at the Republican
leadership meeting were to be
outlined to a later gathering of all
House Republicans.
| Many prominent Republicans
predicted the party's support, OFF,
cially or unofficially. will be CEN
tered behind a bill introduced 10
days ago by Representative Wood,
Democrat, of Georgia. a member
of the House Labor Committee.
1t has considerable backing among
Southern Democrats.
Fight Started Last July.
The administration bill, gen.
orally Endorsed by labor unions.
would replace the Taft-Hartley
Law with an expanded and slightly
overhauled Wagner Act. It was
written by Labor Department at
torneys.
The Wood bill would repeal the
Taft-Hartley Law, but at the
| same time would re-enact most
of it. - .... =
The present fight goes back TO
last July in Philadelphia, when
the Democratic National Conven-
ton adopted a platform advocat-
ing repeal of the Taft-Hartley.
h The act had been passed only
q little more than a year before
by the 80th Congress under Re-
publican control. 1t became law
lover President Truman's veto,
and plenty of Democrats helped
I Republicans do the job.
Lesinski Attacks Wood Bill.
The administration sent its Ia
Dor bill to the Capitol late in
January this year, with Congress
back under Democratic control.
The Senate and House Labor
Committees held long public
hearings. and both approved 1t
last month without changing q
line.
The new Wood bill was intro
duced the day the House left town
for its Easter recess, which ended
today. Mr.. Wood did not introduce
it personally, but a statement is
sued in his name explained it was
intended to meet objections of
labor unions to his original bill,
The statement said the new bill
incorporates the best features"
of the Taft-Hartley law, and all
the changes proposed in the pres
ent law ARE of a liberalizing
nature"
Chairman Lesinski of the House
Labor Committee Immediately
countered with rebuttal claiming
Mr.. Woods bill actually would
stiffen the Taft Hartley Law" In
several respects.
