Thursday, May 6,1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER SecilonTwo -- Page One • , i i - fc • ••' v---.. : - •- '• CL*apitof Report A controversial issue which may soon reach the Congress is the proposal for repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act. Enactment of this bill (H.R. 77) would nullify state rightto- work laws and enable labor unions to negotiate for compulsory union membership through "union shop" agreements in the fifty states^ While such freedom now exists in thirty-one states (with only nineteen having passed so-called right-to-work laws), it should be pointed out that under no state or federal law are employers required to enter into labor contracts with compulsory union membership as a condition of employment. However, employer organizations contend that unless it is made "unlawful" to negotiate labor contracts which compel union membership, the economic pressures are such as to require them to "knuckle under" to union demands for curripulsory union membership for all employees. The entire subject of repeal of Section 14(b) may seem academic to residents of Illinois' 12th Congressional District. Illinois has no right-to-work law and it is highly unlikely that any such measure will be enacted by the Illinois General Assembly within the forseeable future. Indeed, Illinois' economic position may be suffering* under' present conditions with industries leaving our state to avoid strong union pressures and relocating in right-to-work states--mostly in the South. In theory, at least, repeal of Section 14(b) would seem to have the effect of halting this industrial exodus from Illinois to such Southern right-to-work states. Representative Robert Griffin of Michigan, co-author of the famous Land^um-Griffin labor ,reform act, has proposed an alternative solution to the present dilemma. Mr. Griffin's proposal, entitled the "Employee Civil Rights Act of 1965" (H.R. 4350), would authorize repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, providing three conditions are met: First, the union could not discriminate on account of race, creed or color; Second, union dues could not be used for any political purpose: and third, the union could not fine, suspend or penalize any member for his exercise of any civil or Constitutional right. Under the Griffin bill, a violation of any of these conditions would constitute an unfair labor practice and subject the union to severe penalties. An additional provision not presently in the Griffin bill, but which might be appropriate, would bar labor unions from denying membership to craftsmen or workers whose education, skills, training or experience qualify them for employment. The repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act is listed by the AFL-CIO as its primary legislative goal in the 89th Congress; the Illinois Manufacturers Association has declared its strong opposition to any such repeal. This issue will soon be in the hands of the Congress.

Here are answers .to three of the most frequent questions: Q. How long do you recommend that a person drive on an Interstate turnpike without stopping? R. S. McHenry, 111. " A: First of all, you should plan to pull into a service area at least every two hours so that you and your passengers can relax and loosen cramped muscles. In addition, after about six hours on the road you should stop driving until you've gotten some sleep. Surveys indicate that a driver's efficiency improves during the first three or four hours. At about six hours his efficiency has - returned to its start-of-the-trip level. But, after six hours it declines rapidly. Q: It seems whenever I drive the Interstate somebody practically hooks onto my rear bumper and stays there. I don't other Japanese tourist attractions. Flights for rest and recreation will also be available to Okinawa, Hong Kong, Bangkok and the Republic of the Philippines. know if they feel secure there or what. What can I do about it? P. M., Refugio, Texas. A: Tap your brake pedal to make your brake lights flash on. That usually is all the inkling of possible disaster that a tailgater needs. Or, decelerate slowly to encourage him to pass. Q: If my car breaks down at night on an Interstate highway . . . how can I make sure other drivers see me?" C. P., Chester, S. C.' - r A: Of course, you should leave your tail lights and interior lights on. If you car has a turn-signal indicator with an "emergency" position, turn it on so that right and left turn signals flash simultaneously. Also, place portable warning devices like battery-powered lights 100 feet in front of and behind your car.
