FACTS ABOUT
RIGHT-TO-WORK

Retail sales are among the best
barometers of business conditions
They strongly reflect the status
of employment, of wages and in
come, and the health of family
pocketbooks.
A survey, based on u. S. Blu
reau of Census figures, shows that
retail sales have increased by an
average of 1874 per cent between
1948 and 1854 in the IL states
having right-to-work laws during
that period. In the SO non-right-
to-work states and D. c., the gain
is much less, 29.9 per cent.
No one claims that right-to-
work laws were the sole reason
for the difference. But the COM
parison is important because it
has been argued that the right-to-
work principle would undermine
the economic welfare of working
people and cause all manner of
financial difficulties in the states
adopting it.
Actually, the right-to-work law
is in the direct interest of work.
ing people. 1t says, In effect, that
a man can join a union or not
join, as he wishes, and that in
neither case al that be a condi-
ton of employment. In other
words, he is a free agent. The
union must sell itself to him on
its merits-not through coercion
and the knowledge that he won't
be able to hold a job if he doesn't
join. That cannot help but make
for better and more effective I'M
ions.
Finally, the right-to-work is as
precious a right as any people
can possess-and it should legally
be considered so. Without it there
can be no real freedom. 1t is the
firm, unyielding shield that stands
between the individual and dicta-
torship from the employer on the
one hand and the labor organiza-
ton on the other.-Selected.

THE ALL-STAR GAME

Baseball's All-Star game this
month was significant in that it
showed the National League still
retains the preponderance of pow
er it possessed in recent years
and which was so long held by
the junior loop, the American
League.
Although the American League
was favored to win this years All
Star game, and although the game
was played in an American League
park, the National League had
little difficulty in winning this
one, 7-3.
The All-Star game is an inter
esting sports event, even to those
who do not follow baseball. In
the first place, it was conceived
by a newspaper man, and is only
twenty-years old. The game pits
the best in one league at the
various positions against the best
in the other league, and allows
the manager, who won the pen
nant in his league the year be-
fore, to manage his leagues team.
Until a few years ago, the Amer
lean League walked away with
most of the All-Star games and
had won well over two-thirds of
them.
However, in recent years, the
older league, the Nationals, has
come up with most of baseoall's
sluggers and the pattern has
changed. The National Leagues
victory this year shaved the vic
tory margin of the American
League, in the twenty-three games
played, to 1910. 1t appears that
this margin will be further re-
duced in the immediate years
ahead.

the inevitable settlement.

the inevitable settlement.
Since the steel companies have
already offered union workers
guaranteed raises for five years,
1t is obvious that the strike-ending
settlement will provide for sub
stantial pay increases. Consider
ing the fact that the number OF
employees in this country reached
an all-time peak just before the
beginning of the steel strike, one
a e what this means
The rise in living costs is not
expected to be substantial, and
actually, some things are going
down, but more items are going
up, and a slight rise is almost GER
tain. One product likely to be
affected is the automobile, and
estimates now indicate that new
cars will cost at least SIPS more
this fall for the cheaper ones, and
considerably more than this for
the expensive ones.
The World War II dollar-or
the dollar at the beginning of that
war-would almost buy what two
1856 dollars buy. If the value
of the dollar decreases further,
we will soon be using dollars
worth only half what they were
prior to World War II. However,
there need be no alarm over this
situation.
A gradual trend of initiation has
proceeded in this country ever
since we became independent from
England and will probably always
continue, although On a zig-zag
scale of incline. Stability, for sta
bility's sake, means nothing, and
it is probably better to have grad
ual initiation, in an expanding
economy and in a country with a
population steadily increasing than
it would be to have absolute sta
which is impossible from
theoretical viewpoint.

WOMAN AWARDED
I6N CENTS IN SUIT,
MAY COLLECT

PITTSBURGH up. A
Washington ID. c. woman
who sued for more than
$4,000, charging alienation
of her husbands affections.
was awarded a consent ver-
dict of GA cents yesterday.
The suit was filed by Mrs.
Sylvia M. Warner against
her brother-in-law, Nelson
Warner, and her Sister-in-
law, Mrs. Mayme German,
both of Pittsburgh. Mr..
and Mrs. Warner, married
in 1925. separated five years
ago.
The consent verdict was
drawn up under presidents
set by old English law.
Judge Anne X. Alpern said
the verdict means a moral
victory for Mrs. Warner.
The amount has legal
precedent as once having
been the American equiva-
lent of the single coin
awarded in similar verdicts
in Britain. Judge Alpern
said that if Mrs. Warner
demands actual payment
the defendants would have
to offer her Z cents, since
there is no legal way to pay
the exact amount of the
verdict.
