House Vote of 212 to 209
WASHINGTON.—The Wood labcr bill to re-enact most
of the Taft-Hartley law was junked today as the House sent
it back to committee by the hair’s-breadth margin of 212 to
209. This surprise reversal of yesterday's vote by which
the House accepted the bill, 217 to 203. was hailed by Tru
man Democrats as a tactical victory. It gave them more
time to reform their ranks and try again to repeal major
features of the T-H law.
But all staes recognized tnat

On the Senate side today. Sen

duced a btll, know n as the Thom
as-Lesinski measure, to repeal the
Taft-Hartley act and revive the
New Deal Wagner act with some
changes
Deciding that th:* measure had
no chance in the House, Speaker
Rayburn produced a compromise.
Th's would have retained some
features of the T-H law, notably
the 80-day injunctions to stall off
“national emergency strikes."
Much behind-the-scenes persua
I sion preceded Wednesday’s vote,
which reversed Tuesday’s decision.
Tuesday 14*! Republicans joined
71 Democrats—all from the I
South—in beating down the com
bined efforts of 180 Truman
Democrats, 22 Republicans, and
one American-Laborite.
In Wednesday’s vote, 193 Demo
crats, 18 Repoblicans and one
American-Laborite voted to re
commit the Wood bill. Against
them were 62 Democrats and 147
Republicans.
Thus the administration actual-.
ly picked up 13 Democratic votes
and lost four Republican tallies.
On the other side, the GOP
Dixie bloc gained one Republican
vote and lost nine Democratic
votes.
