Union Chiefs
Charge Byrd
Aids G. O. P,

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. q
(AP. Leaders of AFL-CIO
unions in Virginia have charged
that Senator Byrd has worked
to help the Republican Party
in Congress more than his own
Democratic Party.
In a letter taking issue with
Senator Byrd'S statement that
Virginta's right-to-work law
protects union members as we'll
as non-members, the labor
leaders said it appears Sena-
tor Byrd is going to desert the
party that made your tenure
in Congress possible for the
third straight time :"
The letter was signed by H.
H. Boyd, president; Julian F.
Carper. vice president, and
Brewster Snow, secretary
treasurer of the Virginia State
AFL-CIO.
The labor officials wrote that
the right-to-work law in Vir-
ginia barely skirts being bla-
tant, punitive, discriminatory,
anti-union legislation, and it
evades it only to protect its
constitutionality."

For more than 40 years Mr..
