ESFitth tnion busting" tendencies. This Is more or less
thP oosmon which Rep. Thompson takes when he asserts that
ntffnion aXus'Wnd W whole Tight to work' move-
met We cannot accept this oversimplification of the issue.
What after all Is the 'union-busting' potential of such laws?
K rests uSn thelhaky assumption that workers of great num
5 wiuCluntarily slit their own economic throats refus
mTto support the unions which bring them benefits; that, in
Sder to 2Kb dues, they will throw away good wages, good
working conditions and various fringe benefits.
"On the contrary, we believe that only a few dissidents
usually oppSed to unionism on principle-would refuse , to
suDDort a truly beneficial union. Such dissidents are well rep
Sd bytoose gentlemen who recently took out an ad in
a New York newspaper to say that joining a union or any other
assodation with unbelievers' is 'in violation of the Word of
cSr They quoted St Paul: Be ye not unequally yoked with
unbelievers.' Such views are relatively rare.
"But there Is the case of the union that does not really
serve its members. Without the stranglehold conferred by the
lezal privilege of Section 14(b) such a union really is vulner
ablf to 'busting.' And who will weep over it? Is it really an
'antl-union animus' to suggest that the workers should have
the right to -rote with their feef (i.e., walk out) when the
union does not do them any good?"
Without the protection of 14(b), it seems to us, many work
ers must "join a union or starve." This cannot be right in a
free nation and certainly is a form of discrimination against
a person's beliefs, Just as surely as if it were a prejudice
againt his color.

the office are much indebted to
your fine help during the years
you have been here. The priv
ilege to work with you and the
unselfish time and effort you
have given to making Morrow
county a better place in which
to live, should not go unnoticed.
I have found that you are def
initely interested in everything
that makes Morrow county pro

many years. Our whole family
will be thinking of you when
we get to our new home and
hope that you might be inter-
