A major test of the poUtkal power of
tba bif imipii bosses will come in the 89th
Coagrees on the issue of repeal of Section
14(h) of the Taft-Hartfay Act For some
ttmf the union leederw hare been
aharpenies their knives for an attack on
14(b), which has stood as a barrier against
the extension of their compulsory member
ship power to every wage earner In Ameri
ca.
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.

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. And vitally
important, the experience the teen-agers
gain banishes many of the common miscon
ceptions that so often becloud youthful eco
nomic atttiudes.
The hope is that more and more young

in the future will grow apace.

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

of the gas envelope the British referred to these air

The most common model the British used was des
