I Y J— THE CLINTON CHRONICLE CHntoa, S. C n Thursday, June 20, 196S 4 Wyoming Makes 20 I^aat February 6 Wyoming passed a RiKht-to-Work biU. The margin was sub stantial—33 to 23 in the House and 16 to 11 in the Senate. And this was accomplish ed in the face of the most aggressive sort of opposition. - *- Wyoming’s act makes it the 20th state to forbid compulsory unionism. The prin ciple of Right-to-Work, aside from differ ences of detail in the various state laws, is plain. Neither union nor employer can de mand that a worker either join or not join a union. The decision is entirely up to him. Right-to-Work is thus a force—and a highly important force—on the side of in dividual freedom. Then, beyond that, it is a force in favor of better, more responsible labor organizations. A union which must sell itself on the basis of worth and service is a very different sort of union than one which can compel people to join and pay dues, whether they want to or not, or go jobless. Wyoming’s action—rlike that of 19 other states which preceded it in passing Right- to-Work laws—is in perfect consonance with the needs and the public sentiment of these times. —— , “Free, Strong And Prosperous” The government brought an antitrust suit against a corporation. It was a crim inal action, and had to do with the dealer system involved in selling one of the cor poration’s products. The presiding Federal Judge, Thurmond Clarice, of Los Angeles, dismissed the gov ernment’s charge. He quoted the late, great Justice of The Supreme Court, Oliver Wen dell Holmes said: “ . . . Let people man age their own businees in their own way, unless Hie grounds for interference is very clear.” Judge Clarke added: “If that ad vice is heeded by bo^i the courts and the government, I am confident that the Unit ed States will continue to be free, strong and prosperous.” It can be said that, unless that advice is heeded, the United States will not long be “free, strong and prosperous.” Babson Discusses Population Trends And Employment The Wheat Fanners And the Fourth . One hundred and eighty-sewn years ago a majority of the cokmial farmers drop ped their plows, shouldered muskets and marched off to join the fight for liberation from dominance by the British. On May 21, last, a majority of the wheat farmers of America climbed down from their tractors and marched to the polls to repel an attempt by the federal government to dominate their agricultural affairs. t - Even though the present-day farmer would not presume to place himself in the exalted company of the 1776 patriot, their separate actions have—in a sense—made them brothers in the never-ending fight for liberty. It took great courage to engage the hordes of well-trained and fully equipped Red Coats. It also took a measure of cou- Babson Park, Mass., June 20—This is the time of year when young people graduating (Tom high school and college face the big task of finding a job. Not just any job to secure spending money, but one which can lead to a useful career. For many, this looms as the biggest hurdle of their adult life. Success can mean a rewarding life, but failure may take away enthusiasm and in itiative. Hence, I feel that this is an appropriate time to devote a column to some fundamental population trends which may determine future employment patterns and opportunities. THE CURRENT EMPLOYMENT TREADMILL One of the Kennedy Administration’s biggest headaches is the problem of re ducing unemployment.

Even when they are two years in arrears—as Russia ex pects to be next New Year’s Day—they can not be flang out. At worst a delinquent nation merely’loses its vote. But Russia isn’t even worried about that, contending that it takes a two-thirds vote to deprive member of suffrage—-and confident of a dragooning enough Commie and neutralist nations to circumvent such a spanking. Thus, if this bunch of beauties just stands together, none'*of them need ever pay dues! But that’s all right. The people of the United States will pick up the tab. To stem the rising tide of accidental poisonings of small children, the American Red Cross urges parents to take the ut most precautions to keep poisonous sub stances beyond their children’s reach. It is estimated that there are 500,000 acciden tal poisonings a year among children five years old and younger, of which 600 prove fatal. labor force is a symptom of poor economic health, considering the fact that business has been enjoying two years of high activity. THE VULNERABLE GROUP Projections of population trends indicate that between now and 1970, especially after 1966, two age groups should show the largest increase. These are the 15-19 year-olds and the 20-24 brack et. This means that in the second half of this decade, the economy will face a big task in find ing jobs for these newcomers. These statistics seem to me to be advising students to take their education seriously. Un- - skilled and uneducated workers are finding it progressively more difficult to find jobs. And the odds woll be mounting against them in the years ahead. Since the new-worker" group lacks high skills and experience, we have the makings of a chronic sore spot which could cause serious eco nomic and sociological headaches later on WHAT POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT FIGURES SAY These young adults may, however, hold the key to further prosperity. Not only do they con stitute a mighty potential for lifting demand and - consumption, but they could “beef up” the pro ductive portion of the population. However, this potential can, be realized only if these young adults can find suitable employment. I am cer tain that there will be opportunities, and attrac tive ones atjdiat, for those prepared for careers in science, engineering, medicine, commerce, and education Those lacking the aptitude or funds to attend college need not get discouraged.
