The action of the Truckers Union
is certainly stirring the blood of the
community. Their tactics are so un-
fair that fair-minded men just won't
stand for it. Talk about oppression
of the working man: Nothing in our
day ever equaled the oppression that
is being handed out by unions. I'm
less you do as they say, you just
can't work. 1t makes no difference
if your family is sick or even starv-
ing. You join the union or you don't
work and then they won't even let
you work if you do because you have
not belonged as long as the next fell
low and hence have no seniority
rights.
