Page Sfx THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1963 ••••*••••• Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM Mounting pressure is upon Con gress to do something about the spread of disastrous strikes. The disappearance of daily newspapers has been an expensive inconven ience to New York City and other areas but the Longshoremen have demonstrated what could happen to the entire country if, for in stance, the Teamsters Union and the Railway Brotherhood would follow suit. Conservatives in Congress have been warning us about this possi bility for a long time. Senator McClellan, of Arkansas, and Con gressman Short, of North Dakota, for example, introduced legisla tion in Congress during the last session that would prevent such a disaster. Now some of the liberals in Congress recognize the danger and are attempting to cure the situation by more, instead of less, Federal government coercion. Senator Morse, of Oregon, pro poses that Congress compel arbi tration in labor disputes and that such arbitration regulate wages, working conditions and prices by placing the control in the hands of government agencies. What is needed, of course, is not more coercion but more freedom for the individual employer and the individaul worker. Compulsory unionism through the union shop, plus industry-wide bargaining makes the individual worker a pawn in the hands of the power- hungry union leaders. Senator Goldwater, of Arizona, has introduced a bill which would abolish compulsory unionism ex cept in those states which would expressly authorizzze union shop contracts by state legislation. This would amount to a national Right To Work law, making nationwide the principle of voluntary union ism now established by law in 19 States of the Union. A good example of the kind of State legislation that has proven to be effective and beneficial for both the employer and employee can be found in the Texas Right To Work law. Of course, any so- called “right to work” law does not guarantee anyone that he will have a job. It simply provides that when work is available anyone may be hired regardless of his membership or non-membership in a labor union. Th^ choice of belonging or not belonging to a union is up to the individual worker, and his decis ion on the subject has no effect on his ability to get a job. Any such law must be bolstered : by the specific delegation of au- j thority to enforce the law and by the inclusion of penalties suffi ciently severe to become serious deterents to law' violation. The law might work in various ways to prevent disastrous long strikes that cause hardship to employees who are off the pay roll for that length of time, and to the company who employs them because of loss of profits. The public that depends on the product manufactured by such a company 1 is also a victim. Assume that acompany is beset by an illegal, wildcat strike, insti gated by a small number of union members. Through coercion, fear, unlawful destruction of property and bodily harm, these few em ployees who are striking cause thousands of other employees to remain away from their jobs. Very quickly, the due process of law set out in the Right To Work law is called into effect, and law enforcement officials soon round up the trouble makers, who are taken to court and dealt with as any other violator of state law. The employees return to work and the strike ends. Without the Right To Work laws, the strike w T ould have spread to all the em ployees, whether they wanted to strike or not, and weeks or per haps months of wages would have been lost. “Right To Work” laws do not encroach upon the rights of work ers to organize. They cause unions to perform the services that war rant their existence more dilig ently, and the individual who joins the union does so willingly and feels that he is getting something for his money instead of feeling that he is merely paying a ransom for his jjob. Unions, like any other organi zations, are better, more demo cratic and more responsible when composed of voluntary members. Forced membership does not make a good union, it only feeds more dues dollars into the international office. A law such as proposed by Sen-' ator Goldwater, or such as was found in proposals introduced by Senator McClellan in the last session of Congress, will pay off in better unions, more stable work forces; and these factors will create a healthier atmosphere for business and industry everywhere in the Nation.

Forest Fires On Increase High winds and many care less people have caused a consid erable increase in forest fires over the past week. County Ranger Wilson reminds persons burning trash, fields or any combustible material in or near woodland to take particular care with their burning. If you must burn trash, says Ranger Wilson, please use a container with some type of cover to prevent sparks from escaping. Several layers of chicken or hog wire makes a good cover that will prevent large particles from float ing out. The evening hours, after the wind lulls, is the best time of day to light that trash pile or field. Where burning fields make sure to have agood wide furrow plowed all the way around and burn into the wind. Field burning should only be done when plenty of help is around. Call the local fire tow er before burning trash. The tel ephone is listed in the front of your telephone book or under S. C. State Commission of Forestry. If the fire gets out of control, call the fire tower and advise them so that help can be sent.
