As We See Il

IF YOU and your Local Union
did not write your Congressman
and Senators opposing the Ruml
plan, as we asked you to nine
months ago, don't squawk now
about the headaches you're having
with the income tax. If you don't
speak up against the perniciOus
legislation Congress is passing, you
take the consequences. A sound
tax law could have been enacted
if there had been a roar of indig-
nation from Connecticut to CalifOr-
mia.
