Found this via WCPT's Facebook page. Also available via the University of Cincinnati Library (http://digproj.libraries.uc.edu:8180/luna/servlet/detail/CORNELL~9~1~78217~3265:Labor-Day-1956--Young-Republicans-S).

"Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex"
"Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public"
