Headline:
"Last-Minute Move 2-4 " Text: "In the final count, 53 Democrats, 137 Republicans, 3 Progressives and 1 Farmer-Labor member voted against the measure, while 189 Democrats, 22 Republicans and 1 American-Labor representative voted for it...
"...The Administration leaders called on three of their most effective speakers at the opening of the debate -- Representatives Woodrum of Virginia, Starnes of Alabama and Gifford of Massachusetts, the latter a Republican."
By some standards this bill could be considered an act of war, making a mockery of FDR's pretense at "neutrality."
As such, it is noteworthy that while most Republicans opposed the bill, so did 57 Democrats & other leftist parties.
Also notice that of the three speakers selected to defend Roosevelt's requests here, one was a Republican.
And, by the way, does anyone understand Roosevelt's position towards striking coal miners -- does it mean he intends to break the strike?
Would that be considered "anti-union"?
