Smyrna times., 1947-01-16
MIR. RUCKER OPENS: The follow.

MIR. RUCKER OPENS: The follow
ing changes should be made through
legislation: I'd Freedom to tpork-1lo
closed shop: All workers must be
protected in their human right of free
bargaining with the right at all times
to choose between (a) bargaining in
dividually without membership in a
labor union and (b) bargaining col
lectively as a labor union member.
(2) Equal responsibility-no special
privilege for unions: Labor unions
and business must be made equal be-
fore the law, equally responsible for
failure to fulfill their contracts, and
for violation of the law. (3) No fake
bargaining by coercion: Means must
be provided for business manage
ment and labor unions to freely and
thoroughly bargain, and to assure
that no lockout, work interruption or
strike vote shall be undertaken until
AFTER genuine collective bargaining
has failed. (4) No industry mo-
nopoly: Bargaining must be at the
plant level. No labor union should
call a strike or work interruption
until it is voted by majority of
eligible union members in the specific
plant, mine or facility affected. This
assures the right of union members
to control their leaders by referen-
dunn vote; it safeguards the right to
strike and the right not to strike
until the union members realize and
consciously accept the full effect of
the strike upon themselves, upon
their fellow workers in other plants,
and upon the general public.
MIR. WALDMAN CHALLENGES:
Mr.. Fuckers proposals are without
merit. ID Opposition to the closed
shop is as old as the hills and usu-
ally masks opposition to trade union
ism itself. 1t would be more conyinc-
ing if the demand for freedom" of
the workers came from the workers
rather than employers. (2) There is
equal responsibility now, and this
issue is unreal. go The word "co-
ercion" is used irresponsibly. All bar
SetilililS SOliIdillo oOliiS SoSl SlOii, IL y W
define that word to please yourself.
(4) The requirement that vote be
taken by the workers before strike
is called disregards the recent expe-
rience with the Smith -Connally Act
under which votes were taken, and
in each case the workers voted as
unit to strike.
MIR. RUCKER REPLIES: The closed
shop is a clear violation of minority
rights, which rights are the essence
of Americas basic philosophy. The
closed shop can only lead to overall
mediocrity and Illustration of the
more capable worker 1t also creates
a monopoly which cancels out the
property rights of millions of thrifty
people who, through self-denial, have
acquired the ownership of the tools
which the union is free at any time
to refuse to use. From my personal
experience, I would say that there is
considerable desire for freedom" on
the part of the worker, who wants
union strong enough to protect him,
but not strong enough to destroy him.

MIR. WALDMAN OPENS: While
am quite certain we need new labor
policy, / am not sure we need new
labor legislation Proposed new labor
legislation, like existing labor rela-
tions laws, presumes that Govern
.ment intervention in labor disputes
is necessary in our modern integrated
industrial society. Granting this, the
crucial question still remains tDhen
and holD shall Government intervene?
! oppose indiscrirninate labor-curbing
Legislation. It won't do any good for
congress to hunt the scalps of labor
unions, which the Government itself
helped create and build, making them
what they are. BY common consent,
during the five war years, labor and
industry have practically abandoned
free collective bargaining for policy
of Government wage-fxing and con-
matchmaking With the war over, but
with war powers still not ended, they
have not yet returned to free collec-
tive bargaining in its true meaning.
Until they do, talk of new labor leg
islation is premature. Before passing
new, hastily conceived laws, Congress
should establish a National Commis-
Ision on which Congress, the Execu-
tive, Labor, Industry and the Public
ARE adequately represented to study
the problem as whole. This Com
mission should discover which indus
tries are most subject to strikes and
why, which labor laws worked and
which didn't. 1t should call in leaders
of both industry and labor and put
it up to them to present constructive
proposals for labor peace.
MR.. RUCKER CHALLENGES: |
agree that government should stay
out of labor disputes. This does not
mean, however, that government
should not pass specific laws protect
ing people who own the tools of pro-
duction, the people who make their
living using them and the customers
who depend upon the products for
their welfare. Under these circum-
stances, government intervention
merely consists of enforcing the law,
which is quite different from the
iarbitrary intervention of the present
! administration. We have had enough
experience to see the weaknesses in
the present procedure and it is pos
sible for Congress to pass laws based
: on sound experience, devoid of malice
or unfair restriction.
MIR. WALDMAN REPLIES: The
point to be underscored is: What is
the practical, just and desirable thing
to do noao in the field of Labor Rela-
tions? Today we desperately need in
.dustrial peace and stability in the
public interest In a practical way,
we won't get anywhere with restric-
tive labor legislation or new labor
laws based on vindictiveness. This
policy would only complicate rather
] than meet a difficult situation, con-
sidering the human factor involved.
Not enactment of new laws but en-
forcement of existing laws, without
fear or favor, would go far to remove
many honest complaints which exist
now. And that is not matter merely
for the Federal Government but also
for local government.

A delightful way to use up
leftover bread is in Raisin Puffs-
a simple, fourless dessert made
with milk custard base. (Inci-
dentally, don't forget to return
empty milk bottles to your dealer
promptly. as the shortage is again
acute.)
The raisins help to sweeten and
flavor these little puffs so that
only a little sugar is needed.

IF hat Do You KnOW About
Your Educational System?


the Delaware Statutes regarding
Delaware education, it is, in the
words of laymen, an analysis of
Delaware legislation governing the
operation of our school system,
and attempts to show most, if not
all, of the special steps that our
Legislative Branch of government
has taken to advance the educa-
tion of Delaware citizens, particu-
larly children.
The study is an analysis and not
a censure. No attempt has been
made to indicate whether the Sta
tutes adequately or effectively COW
er the problem. 1t is hoped that
the reader will, from the following
pages, acquire not merely an inter-
est in understanding the law, but
also a full appreciation of the at
tempt which has been made to pro-
vide for education. If this is ac-
complished he should then wish to
become better informed on educa-
tional matters, both of a general
and specific nature, and not be a
disinterested uninformed citizen
when the 1947 General Assembly
discusses and acts upon legislation,
which either directly or indirectly
affect the present and future edu-
cation of Delaware's children.
Every modern parent wants his
child to have every opportunity
for a good education, and every
worthwhile community wants the
same opportunity for all its chill
dren. Our forefathers, who estab-
lished Delaware as the First State,
were most foresighted in realizing
the needs for education and their
obligation to their children for
showed this in the ordinance of 1887
showed this in the rdinance of 1887
from which the following state
ment was taken. Religion, NOR
ality and knowledge, being neces-
sary to good government and the
happiness of mankind, schools and
the means of education shall for
ever be encouraged"
The Constitutional provisions, as
adopted in Convention July 4, 1897
also showed that it was the intent
of the State to make certain that
posterity be strengthened through
education. Evidence of this ap-
pears in Article x, Section I, which
reads:
"The General Assembly shall
provide for the establishment and
maintenance of a general and eff
ficient system of Free Public
Schools, and may require by law
that every child, not physically or
mentally disabled, shall attend the
Public School, unless educated by
other means"
The persons responsible for
drafting the Constitution apparent
ly were of the firm belief that
there should be equal opportunity
for all in education, because in
speaking of funds they stated
Shall be equitably apportioned
among the School Districts"
Since the enactment of the Con-
stitution, the General Assembly
has enacted laws pertaining to all
phases of our educational system.
Those of general application are to
be found in Chapter II in the Re-
vised Code of Delaware, 1885 with
laws since that time in the reports

cation, Inc. will be ten weeks ole
tomorrow. Since the organization
meeting, when it was resolved that
this citizens group would study
the needs of the education system
in Delaware, much work has beer
expended in attempting to develop
a recommended program for inn
proving conditions which are harm
full to our schools and for strength
ening those points which are help
full. In making these studies
many of the members have been in
contact with countless citizens OF
Delaware and are unanimous in
their recommendation that the peo-
pie of Delaware would appreciate
and could profit by a knowledge OF
the legal structure of our Public
Schools system. To meet this
need, a committee was formed to
study the School Laws and to
write them in laymen's language
for presentation to the people. The
purpose of this digest is to assist
you in becoming informed on a
subject which is so deservingly re-
ceiving much attention both from
the public and from the General
Assembly. The Council believes
that it will be worth the time of all
Delaware citizens to avail them
selves of the opportunity to read
ing the sections printed below,
and the remainder, which viii be
printed in the following weeks.
Analysis of Delaware School Laws
Education, among the wisest in
vestments for today, will be con-
sidered among the most valuable
of our assets tomorrow. Education
must be for all, and it must be
properly supervised. To provide
for these essentials, the control of
education rests with the State and
for our readers, the State means
Delaware.
The State of Delaware is a dis
tinct sovereignty, with its own
Constitution and its own Execu-
tive, Legislative and Judicial
Branches of Government. Except
where it has ceded some of its au-
thorities to the Federal Govern
ment, Delaware is complete in it
self and independent.
Subject only to limitations i'm
posed by the Constitutions of the
United States and of the State, the
Legislature is empowered to enact
whatever laws it deems to be in
the interest of the citizens of the
State.
Many of us citizens have come
to believe that a knowledge of the
law is reserved for lawyers alone.
This should not be our belief for,
after all, ignorance is no excuse,
and we are bound to our vulner-
ability to know our laws, at least
as they apply to or affect our own
affairs. Aside from the benefits
which we derive from certain leg
islation, invariably there are heavy
penalties imposed by legislation for
noncompliance. This is even true
in connection with Delaware sta
tutes dealing with education.
This study of Delaware laws per-
tanning to education was made be-
cause it was felt that it could meet
a challenging need of Delaware cit
liens. While it is not reprint of
