It was a bitter defeat for Presi-
dent Truman, who during the 1948
campaign had pledged repeal of
the Taft-Hartley act. Senate pas-
sage lent the legislation to the
Home.
Further action is now up to
the House, where action at this
session is doubtful. Even before
the vote, however. Democratic
Leader Scott Lucas of Illinois pre-
dicted that President Truman
would veto the hill finally approv-
ed. if it eventually reached the
White House.
Observers said the strong like-
lihood now is that the two-year-
old Taft-Hartley Act will remain
unchanged — at least until after
the I960 elections.
Before fiaal passage, the Senate
defeated an attempt to nullify all
state laws which outlaw the union
shop. In such shop all employees
must join a union.
The proposal was offered a* an
