Reports out of Washington this week indicate that the
Democratic Leadership in the Senate has decided to post
pone part of the Fair Dea program until next year How
ever TaftIartley is still the must list for this
The main obstacle to passage Of respectable repeal
bill to be the writing of national emergency clause
that will be acceptable enough conservatives and liberals
to get majority vote.
AFL leaders agreed last week to accept bill authoriz

ness threatens to bring about national emergency.
Even conservative Senators and Representatives realize
the neectveness of nunctons actually promoting

plan will majority support and clear this major sumb
ling block.
Evidently Mr. Tafts "lberal" statements about many
concessions somehow left out of this bill All Of the
most Objectionable features retained For example

lows every grievance to be made into court suit But worst
all the substitute provides for of the in

periods though the charge might be declared invalid
years later
The above should be enough to show the peculiar
paSon between the Taft in the Senate and the Wood
version in the House Both are completely unacceptable.
