8. Labor's influence in Congress
Is extraordinarily strong This IS
true iii both Houses. Top labor
leaders were in favor Of this bill
although they Will not say this
publicly. They would have been
vigorously opposed to a strong bill .
The reason for favoring this par
ticula~ measure is that. granting
some legislation was inevitable, it
is as mild as could be hoped for
i The argument was used re-
peatedly that if any bill was to be
passed it must not include con-
troversial issues. Senator McClel-
Ian expressed this thesis in these
words: We can load the bill down
with provisions which other Sena-
Drs want, and the result will be
that we shall have no legislation
at all. in my judgement. in this
session Of the Congress
5. There is widespread belief that
labor is almost a1fpowe~ful at the
polls. and that it is practically
political suicide to do anything
which the union leaders oppose.
This is not true, but it is true that
the union bosses have done an out
standing job at the political level.
Whether the House will pass
bill this session, and if SO what
kind Of a bill it will be. is still
an open question. Politically the
will be to pass something
to which union bosses will not take

the first five titles, but made it

that he had reservations in SO far

important because Senator McClel-

not true.
A Bureau survey found that
families with incomes under

the smallest in the West with
