Political Candidates, Rivals Locked in Fight Over Right - To - Vork - Laws
Editor'! Notes Following is the
first of three dispatches by Ray
mond Lahr, United Press Inter
national political writer, concern
ing the election year controversy
over state right-to-work laws. The
dispatch describes the issues and
tells how the battle lines have
formed.
BY RAYMOND LAHR
United Press International
WASHINGTON fUPI) Rival
political candidates and their sup
porters are locked in struggle in
10 states over one of the sharp
est issues of the 1958 campaign-
so-called right-to-work laws.
The margin by which the voters
accept or reject such proposals
In the Nov. 4 balloting may go a
long way in determining whether
other states will seek to adopt
such laws. An adverse verdict
would lend steam to reppal ef
forts in some states which at
ready have them.
Under particularly sharp watch
will be tho outcome in Ohio and
California, both large industrial
states which have seen some of
the sharpest political infighting
the issue.
Basically, right-to- work laws
forbid union shop and similar
labor management agreements
which require employes to belong
to unions to hold their jobs. Un
ion leaders contend such agree
ments are vital to "union securi
ty," and bitterly oppose any curbs
on them.
They have picked up some al
lies, including the recently formed
National Council for Industrial
Pfajn hnnHprf hv Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, and former Democrat
ic Sen. Herbert Lehman ot New
York. 1
THE OTHER SIDE
rin tho nther side are such
groups as the U.S. Chamber of
rnmmprw the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers and the Na-
tional Right-To-Work Committee.
Thn letter ornnn included some
members and former members of
unions, these national groups
have counterparts at the state
level.
in ariHiiinn tn Ohio and Califor
nia, voters in Idaho, Kansas, Col
orado and Washington state also
will decide Nov. 4 whether to
adopt such statues by constitution
al amendment or through the
initiative procedure.

question of adopting such laws
has become an issue in the elec-
ion of state legislature. In In
diana, the fight is whether the
new legislature should repeal a
right-to-work law passed last year.
Indiana is one of 18 states which
have adopted such laws. 10 in the
South, five in the Midwest and
three in the Western Mountain
states. Of these only Indiana rates
as a major industrial state.
Voters in all 10 states in which
the proposal is an issue have been

In its recently-published "Union
Security, the Case Against The
Right-To-Work Laws." the AFL
CIO says the objective of such
statutes is "to weaken, cripple
and ultimately destroy trade un
ions." Proponents describe the laws
as a safeguard to individual free
dom and as protection against
"compulsory" union membership.
All of the 18 laws in effect pro
tect the right to join as well as
to refrain from joining unions.

struggled to shore.
We must have got too close,
said Claudia Peterson, 23, the lone
survivor.
Drowned were Marlene Voron-
yak, 23, a teacher in suburban
Roseville; Vaughan Uhr, 23, Swea
City, Iowa, a student at Bethel
College in St. Paul; and Keith Kel
sey, 23, St. Paul.
Uhr and Kelsey were unable to
keep the boat afloat with paddles
alter tho motor apparently failed
and the 17-foot craft began spin
ning in the eddy under the dam.
The boat overturned and the four
occupants were pitched into the
water.
I kept going down and down,"
Miss Peterson said. "I got to the
surface a couple of times but the
current kept sucking me to the
bottom.
After that 1 can't remember
much. I must have been carried
along by the current after 1 lost
my breath. 1 came to in the middle
o: the river and was able to swim
to shore."
Both sides base their arguments
in part on the experience in the
states which have adopted the
laws.
Thus the National Right - To
Work Committee publishes a ta
ble showing that union member-'
ship grew 192.1 per cent between
1939 and 1953 in the right-to-work
states compared with 187.8 per
cent in the other states.
DIRECT REBUTTAL

Air Industry
Hearings Set
SEATTLE (AP) A hearing on
a 10-million-dollar renegotiation
suit involving excess profits for
Boeing Airplane Co. opened here
Monday.
It is the first of a series of suits
in which makers of military air
craft seek reduction of govern
ment claims of excess profits.
The government's Renegotiating
Board held Boeing made 10 million
too much on military contracts in
1952. The company refunded that
amount but now contends the
board erred.
Boeing has two other cases
pending, involving a profits deter
mination of Vh million in 1953 and
10 million in 1954.
Judge Graydon G. Withey,
Washington, D. C, a member of
the United States Tax Court, will
conduct this hearing on the 1952
case only.
If it wins the suit, Boeing would
recover less than three million dol
lars after federal excise taxes,
company attorney said.
Similar suits have been filed by
other airplane manufacturers,
They total 90 million dollars a
government attorney said.

"It is virtually impossible to
measure the precise effect of
these laws on union organization,
for no one can know what would
have happened if another statu
tory environment had prevailed."
Meyers' study, published in Oc
tober, 1955, also said Texas print
ing industries were not as highly
unionized at that time as they
were before the war. He added
that union growth had been slow
in the construction industry and
in intrastate and local trucking at
a time of rapid unionization in
interstate trucking.
The right-to - work committee
and the AFL-CIO presented similar
figures in different ways in an
attempt to show what has hap
pened economically to individuals
in various states with nght-to-
work laws.
The committee says weekly
earnings of production workers in
creased 18.7 per cent in right-to-
work states as compared with an
average of 17.6 per cent in other
states from 1952 to 1956. It says
personal income rose 61.2 per
cent in such states from 1947 to
1955 against 58.6 for other states.
The AFL-CIO uses dollar fig
ures instead of percentages to
support its stand that average
weekly earnings and per capita
personal income increased less
than the national average of 11
of 12 states having right-to-work
laws throughout the period, 1947-56.
The first right-to-work laws
were adopted in Florida and Ar
kansas in 1944. The other states
where they have been enacted
are Georgia. South Carolina.
