THE RIGHT TO
DISSENT
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There is Il war story going the
rounds about the Cockney soldier who
when one of those annoying people who
ask questions queried him as to his
reasons for fighting, replied: Were
fighting the war to keep the most I'M
portant right an EngliShman 'as-the
right to be against the government"
The right to dissent is the most i'm
pOrtant freedom guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights, for upon it hang all our
other freedoms. All of our rights are
rights to disagree. Freedom of religion,
freedom from unwarranted search and
seizure, of trial by jury-what are they
but freedoms to dissent from the ma
jority opinion?
Some of the decisions of the Supreme
Court which are most remembered are
those dissenting opinions of the Great
DisSenter, Justice Holmes, who in his
nOn-aSSenting opinions represented the
liberal leaven of thought of his day.
However, only as we fulfill our re-
Sponsibilities do we entitle ourselves
to the right to dissent. Only free men
can afford to disagree because only
free men can be trusted to observe the
rights of others and the formalities of
orderly intercourse.
Where there is danger in dissent is
when it becomes dictatorial. Hitlers
Brown Shirts parading the streets of
Munich, decrying everything and
everyone, were unimpOrtant and rather
ridiculous until they began to turn
their dissent into demands and to try
to Stitle that very freedom which had
been their safeguard. DictOrial dissent
is a peril to any government. Such is
the dissent of IA highly organized
minority, of Il pressure group which
holds out for special privilege.
Today we fight for the right to dis
agree. We fight for the right of free
men to be against the person or thing
in which they do not believe-and to
express that difference in speech and
orderly action. We fight also for their
right to stand by the things in which
they do believe. We remember the
words of Wilson "The seed of revOll-
ton is repression
In planning for the future to come
after the war is over, let us keep this
right to dissent well in mind, realizing
all that it implies and remembering al
ways that the Bill of Rights is but the
Amendment to the constitution of Re
spOnsibilities.

"At least 60 per cent of those denied
the right to vote are white workers.
Arguments against the constitutions
ality of the bill are based on the fal-
lacy that the right to vote in federal

Padway declared. The Supreme Court
has repeatedly held. he added, that the
right is derived from the federal Con-
Stitution. and that thus Congress can
regulate the means by which it may
be exercised.

would have the support of President

Gently formed American Federation
of Labor. Since that time he has
served both organizations without
sparing himself.
Had he chosen, MahOn, with his
dynamic personality and ability to
lead and persuade men, might have
made a great politician or business
man. However, the lot his fellow
workers-the street car operators
making 10 to Is cents an hour,
working twelve to eighteen hours a
day, unprotected by the weather,
seven days a week and no overtime
compensation-was the inspiration
that drove him on.
His ambition did not center about
himself but to remedy the low living
standards of his people. The only hope
lay in organization of trade unions
a dangerous ambition in those days.
"The employers used every means
possible to destroy us, he recalls.
Men were bribed, detectives and spot
tiers were used and in some cases
armed methods were employed"
Mahon not only helped build the
Amalgamated, and directed it
through its stormy years, but he
built democracy with it. He fought
racial and religious intolerance; he
perfected arbitration as an effective
method of getting results and inn
proving labor relations.

Electricians Draw
Up A Joint Program

CHICACO-LabOr, manage
ment and government must
begin working toward a plan
ned economy to prevent mass
unemployment and paralysis
of industry after the war, the
labOr-management committee
ON postwar problems of the
Init. Bro. of Electrical Work
ers and the Natl. Electrical
Contractors Assn. said in its
first report here.
ALL. unions of the construction
industry are urged by the commit
tee to begin now to get the cleo
trical construction industry on
planned basis, since that indus
try ssfaces now the postwar adj
iustment which will face other in
dustries when the war is over"
Alternative to planned economy
for reconversion, the report says, IS
schaos and the kind of economy that
will permit a great industrial nation
to hand to returning soldiers basket
of apples"
Quoting U. S. Dept of Labor sta
tistics, the report states: IL INDUS
try hesitates and delays the change
hack to full scale civilian produc-
ton, unemployment may run up to
II millions or more in half a year S
time. One industry alone, wartime
aircraft, will release almost imme-
diately 1H million. On the other hand,
the possibilities for prosperity when
once the u. S. has made the peacetlme
adjustment are great. :,
The committee adopted these guid-
ing principles:
L. ssThe principal goal of plen-
ned economy is full employment.
To do this, national income will
have to be maintained at $3.50 bill
lion a year, and at least $23 or
Sl4 billion a year will have to be
spent ON construction"
2. Flow of money gives the key
to new economy, with vast savings
pent up i'm banks.
3. Wages should be maintained
at a high level.
4. Housing should have $8 to
$l3 billion yearly business in the
postwar period.
S. Barriers between segments OF
of the construction industry
must be destroyed, and CO.
ordination achieved with other i'm
dustries.
6. There should be government
tai agency with government, bust
ness, labor and agriculture repre-
scented to handle this prOblem-a

that even this contribution was
often wiped out by dividends he
collected from the insurance COM
pany. Also, these plans never paid
the worker much.
Now, however, unions are negotiat-
ing group insurance plans into con-
tracts and insisting that employers
pay all or most of the cost. They also
demand more benefits and union rep
reSentatlon in. all matters affecting the
group plan.
The government encourages en-
pIOyers to make a contribution
toward the cost of the insurance by
allowing it to be deducted from
state, federal and excess profits
taxes. The maximum which an en-
plOyer can deduct is so of the
employees annual wages or salary.
This deduction is allowed under
Section 23A of the Internal Reve-
nue. Code.
Group insurance plans must be
studied carefully. Conditions and
amounts of benefits may vary. For
example:
Cash weekly benefits for accidents
may start with the first, fourth, eighth
or fifteenth day of disability.
Cash weekly benefits for sickness
may start with the fourth, eighth or
fifteenth day of disability.
Pay for accidents or sickness may
be limited to a maximum of Is weeks,
70 weeks, 81 weeks or 1O4 weeks.

The new national plan for

members of the area committees re-
fused to sign agreements because they
failed to include what they considered
adequate protection of the rights OF
unionists, on the seniority and union

refused to include the seniority clause
because the labor members felt that it
was drawn to restrict rather than
guarantee workers rights.
