National Affairs: The Senator Goes West
(2 of 2)
In his formal appearances in Santa Cruz, he drew no wild applause. But he got a wonderful break before he left town. Tough, chunky Harry Lundeberg, belligerent chief of the A.F.L. Seafarers Union and archenemy of Harry Bridges, asked for a chance to talk to him. The next day Harry Lundeberg startled everyone in sight. The Senator had told him that he was considering an amendment to the Taft-Hartley Act which would permit a closed shop if a majority of workers favored it.
Lundeberg added: "He doesn't give you a lot of sweet con like a lot of these others."
At week's end, the score for Taft seemed to be: one hit, no runs, one error.
