The Notion of the Taft-Hartley Act un der attack affirms the authority of states to pass laws banning the type of union con tract that force* every employee either to join and pay tribute to the union or else be fired from his job. Commonly known as Right to Work laws, such statutes are in effect in 20 states, and movements to enact similar legislation are underway in seterai other states. After pouring millions of dollars derived from.^^laoi^ ^Ufee dollars into the last Congressional campaigns, the union bosses believe they are in a strong position to de mand that the Congress eliminate Section 14(b)’s restraint on their power to force workers into the union fold. Their ambi tion is to destroy, in one fell swoop, the laws of 20 states guaranteeing worker free dom from union boss rule and curtail the growing voluntary unionism movement The union leaders are asking members of Congress, in return for union political support, to turn their backs an public opin ion on the issue of voluntarism verus com pulsion in labor unions. Public opinion polls, including those made by the unions themselves, show that the majority of the American people believe that no citizen should be forced to join a union in order to bold a job. A nationwide poll by Opinion Research Corporation in 1964 showed that 67% of the public believes in the voluntary unionism principle—a new high since the polls on this issue were started sevreal years ago. The ORC poll also showed that a majority of union members, as well as the general public, believe that unions have grown large enough or are too large now. ' Despite this tide of public opinion against them on the compulsory member ship issue, the officials of the AFL-CIO have assigned number one legislative pri ority to repeal of 14(b) and have expressed confidence they cam ram a repeal bill through a reluctant Congress by using the full force of their political “muscle.” They, no doubt, are hoping the public will not awaken to the full implications of their power play until it is too late. With the National Right to Work Com mittee taking the lead, the supporters of voluntary unionism are mobilizing their full forces for defense of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act Thus the stage la set for what may bo mi historic battle in the 89th Congress for worker freedom from big union tyranny. Whether the union bosses succeed in ' freeing themselves from any restraint on their compulsory membership power, or are stopped in their drive to bring more work ing men and women under their domination, depends upon the extent to which the American people speak out If the people do not express their will on this issue to their representatives in the Congress, the fight for freedom could go by default The threat is a serious one, and the time is now, if ever, for those who believe that union bosses must not be allowed to dictate the actions of Congress—as well as those of in- . dividual wage earners to make tifefar voices clearly heard in Washington. of both sexes organise actual producing companies, elect officers, sett stock, buy raw materials and supplies, survey markets, and get to work. The products may bo toys, TV lamps, coffee tables, or any num ber of other things. A standard record system is used which includes the operat ing budget, balance shoot, profit and loss statement and so on. At the mid of a pe riod of months, the books are dosed, all remaining bills are paid, assets are liqui dated and reports to stockholders prepared. This is learning by doing.

SHOU8E Highlights From Clinton High Babson’s Point of View On: Big Profits From LBJ Program By ROGER BABSON Babson Park, Mass., January U—One tiling is certain: President Johnson’s Great Society pro gram is going to open up sparkling opportunities for on-the-ball manufacturers, marketers, and service establishments. And it may be much sooner than you think; that is. the way LBJ ope rates once his mind is made up. STRESS ON CONSTRUCTION PLANS No feature of the plan will send out more profitable waves to practically all parts of the nation’s economy , than the massive construction complex envisioned by the White House. A strong majority of Congress is at the President's beck and call, ready to support his utopian and wide-ranging proposals—prepared to keep the necessary funds pouring into the required chan nels. Even businessmen who fear the long-term march toward a complete welfare state, toward a more “socialistic” government, can ill afford to neglect the opportunities that lie ahead, whether they like the trend or not. There is going to be a monumental building explosion, with special emphasis on educational institutions, hospitals, health centers, and recre ation conveniences. There will be few settled parts of the country that will fail to share in this special bonanza, superimposed upon an already prosperous business fabric. Spurred by the con struction surge will be an already burgeoning highway building program and expansion of such inevitable needs as more efficient water and sewer facilities. Utilities of all sorts will benefit CAPITALIZING ON THE PROGRAM From the very first there will be guttering advantages for those keen enough to work for an inside track early in the game. Architects and professional planners will be in increasing de mand, followed by engineers, suppliers of all types of building materials and labor, and land scape technicians. If you manufacture goods which do not appear to be appUcable to forth coming needs, look into the possibilities of adapt ing existing plan to turn out such products. Local boards of trade and chambers of com merce win be able not only to give you helpful information but also to head you in the right direction as new developments take shape. Com merce Department and Small Business Adminis tration offices—either in your nearest large city or in Washington—will be of assistance in helping to formulate the best pattern for cashing in on emerging opportunities related to the vast build ing scheme. The first step for manufacturers and service concerns is obviously to find out where government projects are to arise hi their localities. Next is to get dose to the most promising distribution set-ups. .Then follow through. FROM GROUND-BREAKING TO UPKEEP In erecting schools and mocfical centers, gov ernment planners and operators will need land, construction equipment of an types, and a com plete assortment of materials, aaatlng and otter furnishings—in addition to skilled personnel. There will be a heavy—and continuing, market for an kinds of consumable articles. ..Schools win require books, paper, writing eqtipmeiit, black- Miind WiHfaun If 8.

Some students did fairly well, and all they have to do next semester Is keep up the good work. But for others — well, they have more time to study second semester, anyway.
