DILLARD It is significant 90 7o of na tion’s independent businessmen ■^in a nationwide membership poll by National Federation of Inde pendent Business favor repealing exemption from anti-trust laws now enjoyed by unions. # • * This Issue 1 will become more signifi cant. p * * * • 11 i s an nounced first big drive by the big new super - unionl merger will be| complete uni onization of na- c. W. Harder tion’s retail salesmen. * * * Here is potentially the great est threat to the American econ omic system that has ever been developed. A friendly under standing between a few retail organizations with a few union leaders could put a monopolistic straight-jacket on the entire free enterprise system of distribution. ’* * * It is difficult to sec sales people fit into a labor union. « • • Selling and sales ability is an intangible that has nothing to do with education, background, or degree of intelligence. Some peo ple make superior salesmen. Yet there are many brilliant people who could not sell $5 bills for $2. ♦ * .. * By and large, today indepen dent retailers pay more for sales people, because they select peo ple w*ho possess that hard to de fine intangible, superior sales ability. In addition, their train ing is such that many, of these independent sales people get the experience that enables them to open their own business. Huge retailing operations pay less money, but are content to have mediocre sales people, and hope the more competent will want to continue in the corporation. National Federation of Independent Business . Obviously, the unions will pick on the huge retailing operations first, for many reasons. * • * And so union leaders and man agement will negotiate over terms of a contract. It is a certainty management will strive to get terms to their advantage, and to detriment of independent compe tition. It is also certain union leaders will not fight to preserve independent business. • * * Thus, as has happened in other fields, there will be what amounts to a' conspiracy to prescribe wages, hours and conditions for all retail sales persons along the pattern that is best for a few huge retailing operations. * * * To make their contracts good, the union loaders will then have to enforce this pattern on alL * * * Any Independent merchant burking this unholy alliance will be subjert to union reprisals. * * * While all this activity may not be worthwhile to thg*union mere- ly to collect dues from a few scattered sales people, on other hand, if they don’t enforce the same cbntraet on all, they jeop ardize contract relationship with huge retailers with their thous ands of people paying dues. * * * Thus, unions can accomplish things for big corporations which the corporations could not do for themselves without facing prosecution for violation of anti trust taws. And while some may say that in taking the stand they have, the nation's independent businessmen are, as the phrase goes “labor baiting,’’ thts is not the case. It’s just that U. S. Con stitution never set up provisions for a class immune from laws which govern rest of society. The Founding Fathers were opposed to old doctrines of Divine rights of kings, whether those -kings came from pedigrees in the Al manac de Gotha, or from picket lines. * John L.
