The year is 1947 and the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are considering legislation to deal with an unsettled labor–management situation affecting the U.S. economy. Since the end of World War II, organized labor and employers have experienced a host of problems. Strikes in the oil, automobile, steel, and coal industries have occurred, causing President Harry Truman to call a national labor–management conference to find a formula for industrial peace. Still, this unsettled labor–management situation greatly strengthened opposition to...
