Richard McDonald Keep 14-B The president in his State of the Union Address which he delivered January 12th has again asked the Congress to repeal section 14b of the Taft Hartley Act of 1947. · This section permits a state t.o pass a law to prohibit union shop labor contracts within their boundaries. A union shop agreement makes union membership a requisite in holding a job. At the present time over one half of the states have passed such legislation. The last time this was brought up in the last session of Congress it was defeated by strong Republican apposition in the Senate led by. Everret Dirkson of Illinois, who has prom- ised to do his best to defeat it again this session. The reasons behind the apposition to the repeal of sec- tion 14-B is that the outlawing of state rights to work laws ·would deny many workers fueir freedom of choice as to whether or not the_x l · wo.uld. not ·· .refer to jo' unio The lobbyist are for the repeal of_ the act because it would enhance the bargaining position of organized labor, but then if the re.cent New York Transit strike is any evi- dence of labor's responsibility labor is far too strong now. Section 14-B is not in need of repeal as the pn~sent situation is adequate to meet the situation as it exists today. In Memory .of Lowell M. Long Life is often difficult to understand, even more difl\cult to understand is the death of a inan who has just beguu. te live. Often in death the virtues of a man arE: over-emphasized and his faults are overlooked. Family and friends are strick• . en with grief and a cloud of darkness casts a shadow over their world. Lowell was not without faults, and we must re- member him as he was. Through life others learned to love and respect Lowell and through life he earned a high place in the hearts of many. Th:e tragedy of his death we must, in time, erase from our memories. But, for those of us who knew Lowell, we must not and will not ever forget him. Life not death made him a good man and memories of him will remain with U& forever., · Doug&hmidt JUST ARRIVED- 1 Stretch Denim Slacks 5 Colors To Choose From TH·E VAUGHN CO.
