4 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday. June 4, 19.19 u The Whole Bake Shop” The Retail Barrister, a publication of th« American Retail Federation, observes: “The Kennedy-Ervin Bill as originally introduced has l>een widely interpreted as slapping the wrists of union leaders with one hand and feeding them cake with the oth^r. The bill as changed by the committee still slaps their wrists but instead of feeding them cake, gives them the whole bake shop.” The acid appraiser was occasioned by a rather complicated provision of the revised bill which, in the view of numerous students, would make it possible for union organizers to "rig" elections, and to frustrate free choice on the part of employes in determining whether or not they want to join. And that is not, by any means, the only defect in the Kennedy-Ervin Bill. It would not. so far as anyone can see, ef fectively prevent two of the worst abuses practiced by unions—that is, secondary boy cotts and organizational picketing. These amount to blackmail weapons, whereby bus inesses far-removed from the scene of union- management disputes can be forced to abide by union demands or run the risk of ruin. Any sound labor bill must outlaw these weap ons, and in absolutely unequivocal language. Worst of all. Congress so far has shown no disposition to do anything to really curb the monopoly power of unions—a monopoly pow er that long has been denied all other groups in this country. Just getting rid of out-and- out crookedness in the handling of union funds and affairs, important as that is, won’t eliminate monopoly power. The failure of Congress to go to the root of the trouble is a sad commentary on representative govern ment. The Best Of Ethics At a recent meeting of the Wayne County Medical Society, which includes the dty of Detroit, a doctor paid high tribute to one of this country’s leading pharmaceutical com panies. The company in question is Eli Lilly —but, as the doctor pointed out. what he said applies equally well to any of the leading drug concerns. All of them maintain research departments stiiffed with highly trained spe cialists. The reason for the tribute is a new anti rabies vaccine developed aft^r seven years of work and research, conducted at great ex pense. The old Pasteur treatment, valuable as it was, would on occasion produce terrible side affects. Sometimes these resulted in death. Even though the patient survived, he might be mental and physical wTeck all his life. The new vaccine is safe, and eliminates hazards to the brain and central nervous sys tem. It thus is a milestone in medical prog ress. Vet, as the doctor observed, the com pany probably never will recover the expense of producing it, because of the rarity of rabies. To quote him directly, "This is pharma ceutical ethics, business ethics, medical ethics at its highest.” Babson Discusses Ten Commandments For Small Investors Head-And-Shoulders Standout It is not likely that public confidence m the KetKral Bureau of Investigation as it i* now constituted can t\tr lie shaken.

But REA spokesmen have described the plan to lift the intereet rate to the point where it just coven the money cost, as an attempt to lies troy the whole rural electrification pro gram. And, apparently, a majority in Con gress supports that position — they don’t want to reduce taxes. What it all amounts to is an indirect ad mission that REA can’t or won’t stand on its own feet. As presently constituted, it has to exist at the expense of all the taxpayers. Thus it helps to swell taxes, and to produce more deficits and more inflation. It’s hard to believe that the American people as a whole want that. YOUR MONEY WORKING FOR YOU?
