A GUARANTEE OF
PERSONAL LIBERTY

Before the California legislature is a
bill introduced as Assembly A B. 1853
that should have immediate enactment
into law. 1t has been approved by the
proper committee for passage. 1t is
known as the De Mile bill and would put
legal ban on compulsory levying of as
sessment against a workers wages for
political purposes. Here California has
opportunity to take the lead in curbing
one of the most glaring examples of
JeopardiZing the personal liberty of
American citizens And California should
take this lead inasmuch as the fight was
initiated in California by Californian.
The measure would make such act
mlsdemeanor. 1t cites any and all labor
organizations. 1t was because he refused
to submit to a dollar assessment insti-
tuted last year by the CLOS olitical ac-
tivity group where fund of hundreds of
thousands of dollars was used directly in
the primaries to defeat candidates and in
the election to defeat nominees that De
Mile was ousted from his union.
He contended it was unlawful and that
the union was outside its own constitu
tion in making the assessment. He start
ed at once lone fight which he has con-
tinued Refusal to accept the edict of
the union leaders cost him a lucrative
position and loss of large salary.
The act designates labor organiza-
tons as "an organization of employees
which exists for the purpose, in whole or
in part, of dealing with grievances, labor
disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of
employment or conditions of work" This
definition does not limit the union of la
borers group TO either or any of the
large labor organizations. 1t applies to
;ol, hoe, Il
to act for certain group of workers.
Furthermore, the act does not aim to
suppress the voluntary contributions of
money for political purposes Of any
member of such labor organizations as
is contended by the powerful lobby work
ing against the bill.
The gist of the bill reads:
1t is unlawful for a labor organization
to levy an assessment upon any of its
members, associate members or permit
tees for the purpose of raising funds to
support or oppose any candidate for Of
flee or for urging or opposing legislation
or any initiative or referendum measure,
at any primary, special or general cleo
ton. or to prescribe a penalty for nom
payment of such assessment, or to sus-
pend, expel or discriminate against any
such member in any manner for refus-
ing to pay such assessment"
That is plain enough for anyone ex-
cept the power mad leaders of major
labor unions. Nor is it by any means
aimed at regulating individual or organ
izations.
1t is hoped that the legislature will
lose no time enacting this measure into
law and everyone who has regard for the
preservation of individual liberty should
support the legislators and do so by COM
municating with their respective MEM
bers of Assembly and Senate

WHERE DO FOREMEN BELONG?
christian Science Monitor)

A recent NRLB decision in the Pack
ard Motor Car Company case, and con-
tract demands of the United Mine Work
ers, have brought the question of organ
izing foremen very much into the news.
The focus is further sharpened by cam
paign of opposition, heralded by news
paper advertisements, undertaken by a
section of industry which has felt itself
being pressed sharply on the labor front.
The question is much too complex and
far-reaching to permit hurried, unqual-
flied opinion. The issue, for ons thing,
is not new. In the typographical and
building trades and in railroading, work.
ers having varying degrees of super
visory duties have been unionized for
many years. Furthermore, it is by ns
means clear just where the line can be
drawn between management and labor.
The position of foreman cannot have the
same meaning in a great, highly inte-
grated, mass production plant that it
once had when the foreman was in a real
sense the owners rerespentative on the
job
The plea of many foremen that they
are caught between the upper and neither
milestone of concentrations of capital
and nationwide organizations of labor
deserves at least impartial study. Many
groups of so-called white-collar work
ers have felt the handicaps of an in
between position. Some, whose associa-
tion with labor seems incongruous, have
felt impelled to organize teachers and
journalists, for instance
The problem does not seem to be so
much whether the foremen shall be al
lowed to organize, but rather what is to
be the alignment of their interests.
America can hardly prohibit organiza-
tion as such for mutual protection and
advantage Such association seems to be
an inescapable by-product of bigness. On
the other hand if foremen do not, in
every instance, clearly belong under
management, they do not necessarily be-
long under labor Many unions do not
want them 1t would be most unfortun-
ate for the whole economy were super
visors encouraged to drop their more
specific sense of responsibility to owner
ship.
The public tends to retain in its think
ing too much Of false dichotomy, a
mistaken idea that the economy falls into
two only opposed and conflicting inter-
ests: capital and labor. Actually these
interests shade from opposition to CO.
incidence There should be room for the
foremen somewhere in between and a
wise handling of the issue should guide
them there. 1t would seem an unneces-
sary failure were they to be driven all
the way into the labor camp either by the
desire for temporary advantage on the
part of some unions or by the uncom-
promising opposition of some industrial
lists.
