Senator Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.) said today that “only time will tell” who is right concerning the Taft-Hartley labor law.
President William Green of the American Federation of Labor yes-| terday chose Senator Capehart and| Senator William E. Jenner (R. Ind.) for special attack for their support of the recently-enacted law. Mr. Green, addressing a meeting of 500 members of American Flint Glass ‘Workers union (A. F, of L.) here, said the two senators were enemies of organized labor, “Senators Capehart and Jenner} voted against you. They are reactionaries. They are your enemies,” he told delegates to the union con~ vention. Senator Capehart, here on business, defended his stand on the measure. “I'm just as sincere in believing that the Taft-Hartley bill is in the best interests of the nation and| labor as Mr. Green is that it is not. Only time will tell whether he was right or I was right,” the senator said. ’
