: Mander, Mey 3, Page 7 Taft. Hartley Law Revision Up For Seat Go-Round Sen. Goldwater (R-Ariz) to. follow Smith with an amendment on the touchy states’ rights question. Goldwater’s proposal, mich he said has the backing of White House labor aides, seems certain to become the bitterest point at is- sue in this review of one of the most controversial fields of legis- lation in recent history. Taft-Hartley has not been debat- ed in full on the Senate floor since 1949, two years after the law was passed over former President Tru- man’s veto. Only two amendments, both minor, have been adopted to fin-| the 1947 act which, in turn, was a series of amendments to the 1935 Wagner Act. Last. Jan..12 Eisenhower sent Congress a special message calling . |the Taft-Hartley law “sound legis- lation” and listing what he said Was THE KEVAWEST CITIZEN. were only minor changes needed to “reinforce its basic objectives.” The Senate Labor Committee, after weeks of hearings last year, adopted a revision program three weeks ago closely following Eisen- hower’s recommendations. The House Labor Committee also com- pleted hearings but has not yet voted out a bill. The only major Eisenhower pro- posal left out of the Senate com- mittee’s revision bill was one for a secret, government-conducted yoll ‘off employes on the question of whenever a labor dis- entered the strike stage. At two committee Republicans all its Democratic members refused to endorse this’ proposal. . Purtell (R-Conn), with Smith’s support, will offer the amendment during debate, Goldwater’s states’ rights amend- ment, the author said in an inter- , would allow states to enforce pretty much any labor relations law, in disputes involving interstate commerce so long as the law did not, in the words of the amend- ment, “permit employers . . . to interfere with, restrain or coerce + }employes in the exercise of the ’ |rights guaranteed to employes’ in the Taft-Hartley law. ‘| In the past few years state laws requiring strike votes before a strike can take place and forbid- ding strikes in certain industries, such as public utilities, have been ruled unconstitutional by the Su- preme Court .on grounds they in- terfered with the right to strike. Goldwater’s amendment is de- if legalize all such state Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass), a Labor Committee member, said of this amendment: “It is an unprecedented abandon- ment of the consistency of federal Tegulation of a national problem agd would, as I understand it, sub- ject employers and ‘employes in interstate commerce to 48 separate laws.” Major provisions in the Repub- lican bill would ease the ban on secondary boycotts, give construc- tion unions special union security Pre-hire contracts, prevent elec- tions asked by a struck employer Brutal Beating Is Investigated for at least six months after the strike started, permit fact-find- READING, Pa. —A pretty 20-;than a mile from the where nude body of ape ing boards set up to report on na-|Year-old girl was found nude, | the tional emergency disputes to rec-| beaten and tied to a tree with her |.
