Pittsburgh, Sept. 6— President
Truman’s first speech of Labor
Day today was reminiscent of old-
times—a rip-snorter with a cam-
paign flavor.
One year ago today, Preeident
Truman was in Detroit, kammer-
ing-hard in what the expert* said
was an up-hill struggle for re-
election. He recalled that at Pitts-
burgh today, and could' not rerist
the opportunity to note that the
voters were not misled by, a* he
put it, the newspapers, the maga-
zines, and experts who tried to
convince them they did not want
his program. With thi* as hia gam-
bit, Mr. Truman called the roll
in his fair deal program.
He said the 81st Congress ha*
housing program. Rent control ex-
tension. Extension of thd Mar-
shall Plan. Ratification of the At-
lantic Pact. Extension of low-coat
electricity to more people. Better
soil conservation and reclamation
programs. Tighter unification of
the armed services. And approval
of the International Wheat Agree-
ment.
“This," declared the Preeident
at Pittsburgh, "is real progress
and this session is not yet over."
With that, Mr. Truman took off
the gloves to denounce those who
are against the enactment of his
entire fair deal program, H# call-
ed them the selfish interests; the
selfish force* of reaction. He said
his program would go over des-
pite what he termed a scarce
word campaign intended to con-
fuse the people and turn them
against their own best interests.
One of the things specifically
mentioned by the President was
the Taft-Hartley Law. He eailed
it: That repressive law. He said
that selfish interest* thus far
