ing or retaining employment The main types
of union security clauses are as follows:
The Closed Shop. The employer agrees to
hire only union members. The closed shop
is common in the printing, construction and
longshoring trades. The Taft-Hartley Act out
laws such clauses in all businesses in inter-
state commerce. 4
The Union Shop. The employer may hire
join the union within specified period of
time, usually 80 days, and must maintain
union membership, The great bulk of union
security clauses are union shop clauses.
The Modified Union Shop. Members who
are not union members at the time of signing
the contract need not join the union, but all
workers hired thereafter must join.
Maintenance of Membership. All employees
who are members of the union after speci-
fled period of time after the contract is signed
and all who later join the union must remain
members in good standing during the life of
the contract Usually a fifteen day with
drawal period is provided during which mem
bers may withdraw from the union if they
choose.
Preferential Hiring The employer agrees to
hire union members if available, but no one
need remain a union member if he doesn't
wish to.
The Check-off. The employer agrees with
the union to deduct membership fees, dues
or assessments, or all of them, from the wages
of the employe and to pay the money check
off to the union Check-offs may be voluntary
or automatic. The voluntary check-off re-
quires an individual authorization from the
worker

Attention Severely
Disabled Monfununs

Are you losing your social security
protection by failing to file an appli-
cation for disability freeze? 1t isn't
too late according to Stewart j.
Thomas, district manager of the Hell
ena Social Security Office, if you
act by June 80, 1858.
Severely disabled persons, who have
been unable to work for a prolonged
period, risk losing their future rights
to disability benefits at so, old-age
benefits. and benefits for their sur
vivors. By filing promptly Thomas
said, their social security records
may be frozen as of the date they be-
came unable to work. This will pro-
tect their rights to future payments
and the amounts payable.
To qualify for this "freeze" per-
son must have worked under social
security at least years out of the
10 years preceding his disability in
cluding at least one and half years
out of the 3 year period before his
began. Also, it must be
established by medical evidence that
his condition is so severe it prevents
him from substantial gainful employ
ment or self-employment and that it
is expected to continue for an indefi-
mite period. The disability may be of
any nature but must have existed for
six months or more.
If you are disabled and have not
previously contacted the social Sc
curity office, protect yourself and
your family by Immediately getting
in touch with your nearest social Sc
curity office. A free pamphlet is
available which explains the disability
provisions in the social security law.

Third In A Series: WHY WE HAVE UNIONS

The process of collective bargaining results
in collective bargaining contract''.s This
contract IS an agreement between the en-
ployer and the union to be in effect for a
stated period of time, which covers wages,
hours, working conditions hiring, firing, lay
offs, benefits and other aspects of employ
ment in the plant or industry. AS contracting
parties the employer and union are each re-
sponsible for carrying out their sides of the
contract
There is no doubt that the employer can
compel his foreman to adhere to the contract.
If they do not they can be fired. But if the
union does not have as members all the work
ers in the bargaining unit, its power may not
be equal to it's responsibility.
Wildcat strikes by non-members are typi-
cal problem. If such a strike occurs in viola
tion of the provisions of collective bargain
ing contract as to mediation of differences,
strike notices and the like the union has
way of compelling such employees to adhere to
the contract. AS a result production may be
halted and union members idled
But collective bargaining is more than mere
negotiation and the carrying out of con-
tract. Once a union has been established and
collective bargaining has been undertaken
the union represents a new source of re-
sponsibility within the plant. 1t is apparent
that maximum productivity is not likely to
be achieved unless the union is on such
sound footing that it can afford to cooperate
with management.
For these sound reasons, the principles of
collective bargaining (and the union shop)
have been established as the national policy,
as expressed in both the Wagner and Taft
Hartley Acts.
The people's voice., 1958-05-16
The Union Contract

Responsible and fruitful collective bargain
ing depends upon three fundamental factors
1. Relatively equal bargaining power be-
tween employer and employees
2. The ability of both parties to the col
lective bargaining contract to fulfill its terms.
3. Each of these three factors requires
strong and responsible unions. Union security
clauses create this kind of union. H.;
"Right-to- Work. laws make it impossible
for collective bargaining to be carried out
under these terms. 1t would destroy respon-
sible collective bargaining in our state.
Louis D. Brandeis, one of the great U. S.
Supreme Court justices, said:
81 should say to those employers who
stand for the open shop, that they ought
to recognize that it is for their interests
as we'll as that of the community that
unions should be powerful and respons-
lble; that it is to their interests to build
up the unions, to aid as far as they can
in making them stronger, and to create
conditions under which the unions shall
be led by the ablest and most experienced
men, A large part of all union activity
today, and in the past, has been devoted
to the struggle for existence; and that
fact accounts also for a large part of
union excesses AS nearly as possible
union existence should be assured so that
the efforts of the leaders might be de-
voted to solving the fundamental and
difficult problems of discipline and or
ganization, and the working out of other
problems of the trade"
WHAT IS A UNION SECURITY CLAUSE?

include "union security clause" which makes

Fallouf Played Down,
Says NucIear Physicist

BELLINGHAM, Wash.-Dr. Ralph
E. Lapp, one of the nuclear physicists
who has signed a petition calling fol
an end to testing of thermonucleal
weapons, accused the Atomic Energy
Commission of playing down" the
dangers of afll-out resulting from
such tests.
Lapp, at one time assistant direc-
tor of the Argonne National Labor
atory, said 100 persons died in Hiro-
shima, Japan, last year as a result
of exposure to radiation in 1945
when the atomic bomb was dropped
on that city.
In an address to the student body
of Western Washington College of
Education, Lapp said the government
is inconsistent in announcing it's rea-
sons for continuing nuclear testing
He said one week the government
says it wants to develop defensive
nuclear weapons and needs more tests
to accomplish this. The next week,
Lapp said, the government maintains
further testing is necessary to develop
clean weapons, and the week after
that it maintains further tests are
necessary to learn more about the
weapons for effective civil defense.
Lapp said more of this country's
scientific effort should be in the di-
rection of benefitting mankind Gin
stead of using all scientific technology
to develop more terrible weapons.
The people's voice., 1958-05-16

A "right-to-work" law would outlaw all
these forms of union security clauses. 1t
would destroy labor relations as we now know
them.
Two Harvard labor relations professors,
Dunlop and Healy, point out why these union
security clauses are absolutely necessary to
the democratic trade union. They write:
These clauses were traditionally de-
signed to protect against at least four
threats to the stability of the union.
(a) A fluctuating union membership
renders the union financially insecure.
Employees who joined the union in times
of crisis, for instance, to secure wage
increase or to prevent wage cut, and
then floated out of the union, secured
benefits from the union without bearing
their share of the continuing costs of
the union organization
(b) Normal turnover or expansion in
employment would tend to dilute the un-
ion. union must find some way to at
tract new employees if it is to retain its
strength In some industries where jobs
are of short duration, the unions found
the only way they could maintain their
position was to require that all hiring
take place through the union.
(c) The union sought to protect itself
from rival unions which might seek to at
tract members. These raids or attacks
might be expected at time of internal
division and weakness.
I'D An employer might seek to estab-
lish company dominated union or insti-
tute complete non-union shop. Union
security clauses were developed to pro-
tect the union organization from the risks
of these contingencies.

FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION
Uncle Sam said last week he had
another $51,477 for federal aid to
education in Montana.
The Office of Education certified
for immediate payment $27,985 to
Roman School District %; $13,905 to.
Dixon Elementary and High School
District 9; $7,206 to Wolf Point Ele-
mentary and High School District As,
and $2,381 to Gardiner School Dis
trict z.
The money goes for operation and
maintenance of schools in federally
affected areas.
CHOPPING AT THE BACKLOG
T.. Montanans in Congress believe
there is good chance that the Agri-
culture Department soon will release
another $935,O00 for timber access
roads in Montana.
Two weeks ago, they announced
that the Department had let loose of
SIS million for this necessary con-
struction nationwide. Senator Muir
ray, Senator Mansfield, Congressman
Metcalf and Congressman Anderson
said they were pleased that four
Montana projects were included.
What about the additional $5 mill
lion you have available? they asked |
Agriculture Secretary Benson, point
ing out that Montana has a backlog
of more than So million worth of ac-
cess roads in IL projects on nine
national forests.
Last week, they learned that the
rest of the money would be released
soon.

of the Senate Inte-
rior Committee that the reclamation

want to start planning now to make
sure we have enough timber to meet
our need for wood in the year 1000.
SO do the senators from Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon.
The eight suggested that Agricul-
ture Secretary Benson have the For
est Service report to Congress on the
federal and state programs now aimed
at this end, In addition, the report
would include suggestions for addi-
tional legislation needed.
The letter was signed also by Sena-
tors Church and Dworshak of Idaho,
Magnuson and Jackson of Washing
ton, Morse and Neuberger of Oregon.
They congratulated Chief Forester
McArdle on a six-year study of this
nations timber resources. Among
other things, the report noted that
projected timber growth is far short
of needs.
FORT HARRISON
Montanans in Congress have sue
ceeded in getting the Veterans Ad-
ministrator to advance his moderni-
zation survey of Fort Harrison by at
least three years.
r. S. G. Whittier informed them last
week that in September the VA viii
survey the hospital near Helena to
see what Improvements are needed.
His previous last word on the subject
was in, March, when he told Senators
Murray and Mansfield, Congressman
.Metcalf and Anderson that there'd be
no such survey until the year start
ing. July 1, 1861.
The delegation told Whittier they
couldn't buy his schedule, particularly
since the VA would have $105 mil
lion for hospital modernization un-
obligated at the end of this fiscal
year. 5 r4ef bas
BISON RANGE a4i3a
The House Interior Committee has
given green light to Congressman
Metcalf's bill to add 400-acre dis |
play pasture to the southeast corner
of the National Bison Range.
Action came fast after Metcalf told
the Public Lands subcommittee that
the development would be tre-
mendous tourist attraction besides
"again demonstrating how conserva-
tion has preserved an important part
of our heritage" The subcommittee

of brief hearing. Next day, the full

projects in the next fiscal ear, about
$40 million of it in Montana. The
Administration had recommended less
than SIS million for reclamation con-
struction in Montana.
In speaking for the resolution on
the floor Senator Murray said "Mon-
tana is one of the states hardest hit
by the recession and we need recla.
nation developments to give jobs and
conserve for use our natural water
and land resources.
"The five projects listed (for Mon
tana)",, he said, deserve considera-
tion in the ALLEGATION of appropria-
tions and speedy reports where
needed.
'The projects listed are Helena
Valley and the Fort Peek transmits
sion line, which are under construc-
ton; East Bench, where repayment
contract is ready; Absaroka-Y Yankee
Jim, where report should be expe-
dited, and Yellowtail Dam as soon
as right-of-way problems are settled,
which we hope will be soon."
The resolution adopted expresses
the sense of the Senate. The hard
cash will be put up, we hope, later,
following study of the various prof.
ects by the Appropriations Commit
tees.
INDIAN LAND
On his desk, President Eisenhower
has Congressman Metcalf's bill to
give more than 10000 acres of land
back to the Indians. The bill would
restore to tribal ownership 70,320
acres of surplus land on five reserva-
tions, including 41,45O on the Fort
Peck and 10,261 on the Grow reser-
vations.
Years ago, the tribes ceded the land
to the federal government with the
understanding that the government
would dispose of the land and deposit
the proceeds in the Federal Treasury
to the credit of the tribes concerned. |
The land was never sold. Over the
years, some three million acres of
similarly-ceded land has been re-
turned to tribes on 26 reservations.
The Metcalf bill co-sponsored by
Senators Murray and Mansfield,
clears title to the rest of this land |
still in federal ownership.
