Euphradians Hear Speaker Discuss Taft-Hartley Act The Taft-Hartley Labor law was the subject of a speech by Archie Lewis of the university history department at the meeting of the Euphradian literary society Tuesday night. Lewis said that the act passed both houses of Congress by a larger majority than any bill in recent times. He outlined many of its major parts including the closed shop, the right to sue labor unions, the curb on political ac tivities and the outlawing of juris dictional strikes. "While labor has fought the act as whole," he snaid, "it has upheld certain portions as being bene ficial to its members." He declared that labor doesn't believe the act is directed at its "abuses" but at labor itself. Pro ponents of labor do agree that unien officials have abused their rights rather tisan uphold their -esponsibilities, according to Lewis. He described the main fear of abor as the dread of another de >ress ion In which unscrupulous mployers would be able to force heir advantage over labor and ring about the dissolution of the imons.
