by the way. . Hy DORIS A. SANDERS HOW MUCH GOOD? How much good do labor un ions do for workers? As I have said before, there was a time when no doubt em ployees needed help to emerge from a factory-slave condition. There may even be situations now where labor unions are mlpful. But a fearful pattern is beginning to emerge—a pat tern which makes it look as though the labor unions are working to destroy, rather than to perpetuate, private enter prise. The only thing to follow, then, would be state-controlled industry or, if you please, soc ialism. There is little doubt that many of the top labor leaders have, to say the least, socialis tic tendencies. What better way to bring about a government- controlled industry than to force private enterprise to give up ? This is already happening, and was the subject of com ment recently by Ruth Mont gomery in her column in the Greenville News. Castigating the trend to mediocracy which is becoming more evident in schools as well as in industry, she says in part: "It is equally questionable whether our technological soc iety can indefinitely endure the chains imposed by unrealistic labor unions, may of which de mand featherbedding and out moded procedures as the price for strike-free operation . . .

The uruons struck the unborn paper for 140 days "In order to publish, the WJT was compelled to retain five hundred more workers than needed . . . "Although it was no secret that the WJT was operating at a staggering hiss of $<00,- t)00 a month, the printers un ion nonetheless demanded a 21 percent increase over 3 years and continued featherbedding. •• -All they can do is pay or shut down’, printers boss Bert Powers bluntly said of the man agement. ’’ And. not being able to pay, the WJT had t<< shut down, throw.ng 2500 people out °f w< < rk.
