Dear Tall Tower Editor: Isn't it about time that school authorities stopped bungling in emer- gencies and gave the people who put them in their jobs break? heard such silly arrangement as that which characterized the situation Thursday niSt when the storm indicated that would be impOs
 sble send youngsters out this morning There was no source information except the radio stations and newspapers neither had any definite information other than that the whistles would blow at 7:3O II there was to be no schOOp. What judgment! If the school authorities haven't any more presence of mind in an emergency than that it is about time the board did something about it. Why didn't they announce it over the radio and through the papers definitely last night that. there would be school today The youngsters would then have chance to serve as an "emergency army" to go about clearing snow in the absence of the older folks who had to work In the more important work of making munitions. It shouldn't take master mind to decide at D. m. last night that the storm was going to hamper normal traffic Lets have no more this lack of common sense on the part of our school authorities in emergencies.

Reps. Mcdonald OF Polk and
Powers Of Rutherford introduced
the measure. They said the mat

ed law would be left to the proper
authorities after a survey Of pres

made. They said II counties now

ers to be union members.
Some committee members fought
it bitterly, contending it deprived
unions of their legal rights under
existing labor legislation and de-
claring it would permit d r t
b I'd unfriendly to labor to
load" union shops with non I'm
ion workers.
Its approval by the committee
was expected to reinforce organic
ed labor's opposition to the legis-
lation as a whole.
The amendment was drafted by
Representative Andrews of New
York, ranking Republican commit
teeman, who lifted it bodily from
the original Austin-Wadsworth Ma
tional Service proposal.
1t provides that every person
assigned to service under this act,
including every accepted volunteer,
shall have the right to join any un-
ion or organization of employees, but
no such person shall be obliged to
join any u h union or organiza-
ton if he should not freely choose
to do so.''
Andrews amendment was sub
stitute for one prepared by Repre-
sentative Stewart ID. -Okla.), which
would have had a similar effect.
The f m amendment likewise
was a substitute for a Stewart
amendment which lost on a IL to
IL tie vote. The defeated amend
ment would have directed draft
boards to consider agriculture as
"a critical war industry
Stewart said it was necessary be-
cause draft boards have been mis-
interpreting recent Selective
Service directive to resurvey the
pool of men deferred to work on
farms.
The amendment approved as a
