Taft-Hartley
Bill Probed
WAirmNaffcfCrune ls'ow
Government labor experts who hava
been analyzing the Taft-Hartley
bill will advise President Truman'
that the measure is "unworkable .
and will not stop a coal strike.
This was learned today from of
ficials who have seen the analysis
but who asked that their name'
not bo used. . 5 ,
There have been equally reliable
reports, however, that some other
presidential advisers are urging Mr.
Truman to sign the measure. ,
This group Is said to contend
(a) that the bill does give the gov
ernment some means of dealing
with the threat of a new coal strike
next month and (bl that congress
is virtually certain to enact It into
law In any event. .'
The labor experts are reported
to have concluded, among other
things that the measure awaiting
Mr. Truman's decision follows -more
nearly the original version in- ;
troduced by Rep. Hartley (R-N.J.)
than what they called the less re
strlctlve measure sponsored by Sen
ator Taft (R-Ohio).
