Early in 1939 an amendment, to the Oregon Constitution was propos ed to the effect that, “any contract of employment which denies to any individual or individuals the right to earn a living without being compelled to be a member of a labor union, hereby is declared to be against public policy and void.” The pro posal was dropped because of the war. With the war’s end nearer, how ever, California this year will vote on a similar proposal, the petition already having been filed. It seems ridiculous in a free coun try to have to ask legislative author ity for the right to work without first joining and paying an organi zation. 'But apparently that is Che only way to assure freedom of work opportunity to returning soldiers.
