Burial was in the church cemetery. yynuiw» Qg a*■ ■ inPFfv in any state or territory in which such axacutlon or application is prohibited by Mate or territo rial law.” If Congress should bow to the pressure from the AFLrCIO leaders, it would be going against the wishes of the 51 million Americans who already have expressed their views by enacting state Right-toWork laws in the 10 states thet have such Ians. There ie much additional evi. dence showing support tor Right-to-Work legislation, even In states that lack this safe guard. The Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, N. J., in 1854 conducted a poll that showed that 57 per cent of the people in the country believe thet e men should not be com pelled to Join e union in order to hold his Job. It would be very surprising indeed if compulsory unionism were favored by the U. S. pub lic, for compulsion runs against the American grain. When a man has to Join a union to ob tain a Job, it means that he is unfree. A condition Is put on Ms civil rights. Whan a man Joins a union he often has to accept what the union says is right n public affairs. He Is compelled to pay dues to sup port political and other activi ties of which he may. deeply disapprove. If a union boss de cides that a would-be member is not, a believer in the union’e objectives, he may choose to deny him membership. Unless this man is in a state that has a right-to-work law, the end re sult is that an individual is de nied s job, not s by the decision of an employer but by the de cision of a union official. It is hard to think of a set-up that is more un-American. Basic to the thinking of the bosses of the AFL-CIO is the idea that unions own the jobs that are available in the coun try, and have the right to par cel these Jobs out to friends. But there’s no substance of truth in such an idea. The giv ing of empolymeut is tbs right truth, of the employer, sad the week- of ing man should not bo required to got hat in hand to a union official—a third periF—t^ seek credentials for obtaining a Job. trary < Where there is no right-to- ^.. work law, there is in effect a J* ^ ”„*?**• union dictatorship over employ.

It would seem that such a siuation is contrary to tile U. S. Consti tution, which says a man can not be deprived of what is Ms without due process of law. A ma%. who has a job has been given something of value by his employer; and if that some thing of value, namely a week ly pay check, is eliminated by action of a union, then that union would seem to be acting illegally.

The AFLCIO. has announced that it has designed Section 14 (b) of the Taft-Hartley labor law as a prime target this year. Section 14 (b) contains only 44 words, but it is a vital safeguard for working' men who do not want to be compel led to Join a union as a con dition of employment.
