WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN?
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
