DurkTn called today for an early meeting oetween Sen. Robert A. Taft (RD.) and top union leaders to discussion revision of the TaftHartley act.' I ' "‘f \ The Democratic appointee to President-elect Elsenhower’s cabinet diaclosed\ln an Interview that he will try to play the role of peacemaker between organized labor and the new Republican administration. He urged the. AFL and ClOto give Eisenhower “a fair chance” to prove that tfe is “sympathetic” tjo labor. The 58-year-old former president of 'the AFL Plumbers’ union also held <mt the olive branch to Taft, co-author of the labor law whose outright repeal has been a chief aim of union leaders for years. Durkin said he will take the initiative in arranging het ween the Ohio .Republican and puion leaders, if necessary, and expressed confidence that they can “reach a satisfactory understanding” on changes in the TaftHartley act if each side approaches the problem “in a spirit of give and take.” ' > Durkin said he has “reason to believe" that Eisenhower will support legislation-to modify any provisions of the law which are "Working fundamental hardships” on labor. He declined to say\at this time just what changes hie personally considers essential, nor would he speculate on how far Taft might be willing to go in Irevamfring the law.' But he noted that Taft has “agreed that there should be amendments" and has promised to introduce new labor legislation in the 83rd congress. Durkin said that even if a face-to-face meeting fails/ to budge Taft and union leaders from their present pbles - apart positions on revising the labor law, the confer-
