Helena - Montana rank anc
file labor unionists appear to be
more encouraged than disturbed
by disclosures being developed
by the United States senate per-
manent investigating committees
digging into the organizational
f~unctionings of labor unions. So
far the focus has been on Dave
Beck and other top men of the
teamsters union, biggest organiz-
ed labor group in the nation, but
indications point to a much
broader field of inquiry.
/ believe that it is a reasonable
assumption that in Montana as
elsewhere in most labor unions
the democratic process" prevails,
but there obviously are excep-
tons where entrenched leaders
and their cliques have imposed a
dictatorship which the rank and
file have been virtually powerless
TO combat. II is in this area that
labor unionists now see more
hope.
Evidence elected by the senate
committee, and the public reac-
ton thereto, Will accelerate the
housekeeping in which some of
the most important international
unions were already vigorously
engaged. Eradication of commu-
mist influences and the unseen
ing prosperity of some union
leaders are only part of the job,
for the core of much of the
trouble appears 10 be highland
ed leadership tactics used against
members of local unions.
1 am aware of no leader Of
labor on the state level in Mon
tana, either now or in the past,
who has become unduly affluent.
Likewise, nothing has come 10 my
notice suggesting racketeering in
the states top labor echelon. But
/ do feel that some of these lead
ers have been too prone to use
their positions for the advance
ment of personal political ambi-
tons.
l won't argue with trade union
lists who believe the Democratic
party best serves their interests,
but 7 can't go along with the
idea that a labor union can prop
be an adjunct of a political
party. The assertion or inference
that Republican candidates a. a
class are anti-labor is unfair. One =.
effect of such a bigoted claim is
hat Republicans in our legisla-
.ure, being branded anh-labor,
IAN hardly be expected to support
he program of these immoderate
abor spokesman.
Although some squirming la
Dor leaders are trying to make it
%, organized labor as a principle
and institution is not the issue in
he senate investigation. The issue
S whether the rank and file are
going to be freed of dictatorial
leadership domination wherever
it exists. The public welfare and
the welfare of organized labor
itself demands this.
Rank and file unioniSts will
light to the last ditch against any
egislation they believe detrimen- |
al or hostile TO organized labor /
S a principle or an institution, i

but / doubt whether many o.
these members are misled into
believing that the best ends Of
organized labor are served by ar
entrenched and autocratic lead
ership in local and international
unions.
You may recall that last year
petitions were circulated in Mon
tana seeking initiation of a right
to-work law. These petitions fell
far short of the required number
to put the proposal on the bal
lot. This was a timely straw man
for Democrat politicians to go
out jousting against. Republicans,
on the other hand, were in the
main glad and relieved that the
matter did not become a major
issue in the general election cam
paign.
Labor battles bitterly against
right-to-work legislation but
without uniform results.
Support for right-to-work leg
islation comes from various sour
ces. 1t comes from those who
have an unrelenting and militant
antagonism against labor unions
as such, but except where the
division of voter opinion is very
close they are unlikely to be
the deciding factor. More potent
is the support of those who feel
that a right-to-work law is the
most effective way to restrain
abuses by unions. In my opinion
unions that remove justification
for such complaints will be elm
mating much of the support that
to right-to-work legiSla-
ton.
II seems to me that, basically,
the question of whether there
should be a closed shop or a
union show is not the chief point.
