The Right To Work

EDITORS Note: The following
speech was delivered by Hon.
Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia S
senior senator in the U. S. Sen
ate, August Is, 1860. We feel this
matter is of utmost importance
to each and every Virginian.)
Mr.. President, the 1860 Demo
cratic platform adopted in Los
Angeles makes the direct and I'M
equivocal statement:
We will repeal the authori-
cation for right-to-work laws.
This is a platform promise that
labor leaders will allow no one to
forget. 1t follows their demands
before the platform committee,
and they will demand fulfillment
of the promise.
Repeal of the authorization
would deny the right of States to
enact laws protecting workers
from TO c e d membership in
unions as a condition for employ
ment.
It would result in wholesale
notification of ight-to-Work laws
enacted to date in 20 states, in
GLIDING constitutional provisions
adopted by referenda in 8 States.
Labor leaders have organized
their unions for political pressure.
Success in their demand for Fed
eral notification of all State
right-to-work laws would be an
exhibition of tremendous power.
Fulfillment of this pledge would
be a massive victory for such
labor leaders as Reuther, Meany,
Hoffa. and Mcdonald; and they
would capitalize on it.
Power breeds power, and labor
leaders are Unsuitable in their de-
mands for special privilege and
special legislation for immunity.
Repeal Of the authorization for
right-to-work laws would be fol-
lowed by a drive to repeal all
protective provisions in the Taft
Hartley Act and other statutes in
the whole labor field.
George Meany, president of
CIO-AFL, told the 1860 Demo-
cratic platform committee:
Congress should enact new
l7gs.s.a ton based on the prin-
ciples of the Wagner Act.
This W Oul d automatically
eliminate the vicious social
ed right-to-work laws. The
Landrum-G Griffin Act is in ur-
gent need of rewriting to
eliminate III e unwarranted
burdens it places on unions.
The Democratic platform says:
We will repeal the authori-
zation for right-to- work laws,
limitations on the right to
strike. to p i OK e peacefully
and to tell the public the
facts Of labor dispute, and
other anti-labor features of
the Taft-Hartley Act and the
1859 Landrum-G Griffin act.
There is no reason to think
labor leaders of the stripe we
have today will at any time re-

lax their pressure for the com
plete fulfillment of these platform
pledges.
Federal notification of the
rights of States to protect the
freedom of individuals in their eff
forts to earn a living is high on
their list OF demands. The plat
form language is a clear and
positive pledge to meet this de-
mand by repeating the authori-
cation for State right-to- work
laws.
Congress, after long and
searching debate, deliberately
conceded the validity Of State law
in this field as a means of pro-
tecting the freedom to work,
with or without membership in
a labor union.
This is an appropriate time for
me to say l shall oppose with all
my strength and ability repeal
OF authorization for right-to work
l,WS.
I regard the right to work as
! do the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit Of happiness. 1t is
the right, the responsibility, and
the duty of States to protect this
fundamental freedom.
The effect of this platform
pledge would be national recog-
milton of union membership as a
condition for getting and holding
a job, and to destroy State
laws and constitutional provisions
standing in the way.
Existing Federal law already
legalizes- collective bargaining
contracts making union member
ship a condition for employment
wherever it is not prohibited by
State law.
States have enacted laws to
provide that the right of indi-
viduals to work shall not be de-
MED on account Of either mem
bership or nonmenbership in la
Dor organizations.
Fulfillment Of the Los Angeles
pledge would enable the Warren
Court to strike down all of these
State laws; and if freed of the
congressional restriction, sus-
pect the Warren Court would act
promptly.
If labor leaders desire to re-
peal right-tO-wOrk laws in 20
States. 6 with constitutional pro-
visiCnsl they can make their pro-
posals in the States involved.
That would be an orderly and
constitutional procedure under
our form Of government. 1t would
be far more democratic than
bltzkreig notification by the
Federal Government.
Virginia'S l3-year-old right-tO-
work statute would be among
those to go as the Warren Court
extended its record of States
rights destruction.
The Virginia law was entaced
on the recommendation of Gov.
William M. Tuck, one Of the fin
est and most courageous Cover

nors in Virginia's long history.
He is now a Member of Congress.
The Tuck law provides that
neither union membership nor
nonmembership in labor organi-
cations shall be made a condition
Of employment in collective bar
gaining contracts.
The Virginia right-to-work law
is representative of the tenor of
virtually all the State statutes
and constitutional amendments
on the subject. Under this law,
enacted IS years ago, Virginia
has avoided any serious strike
during that long period of time.
The eight States which by popu-
lar vote have amended their con-
situations in such a way as to
protect the right to work are:
Arizona, which also adopted its
statute by referendum: Arkan-
sas; Florida; Kansas; Mlssis-
sippi; Nebraska; North Dakota;
and South Dakota.
Yet it is propoced to invalidate
those right-to-Work provisions of
the constitutions Of those States,
enacted by the votes of their
people.
The 20 right-to- work law States
are: Alabama, Arizona. Arkan-
sas. Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Ne
braka, Nevada, North Carolina,
North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota. Tennessee. Texas
Utah, Virginia, and Louisiana.
Louisiana has a law which ap-
plies only to agricultural work
ers.
Nothing in these State laws
prohibits or impedes collective
bargaining. Nothing in them for
bids union affiliation They pro-
tect the privilege of union mem
bership for those who wish to
join.
Some working men and women
want to join unions; others do
not. Nearly two Of every three
workers in nonagricultural indus
tries in the United States are not
union members.
The corollary of the right to
join union is the right not to
join. In the vital human endeavor
Of earning livelihood, both sides
Of this right to work must be
protected
The Warren Courts attitude to-
ward States rights and interstate
commerce. and the political and
economic influence Of those who
are leading national and inter-
national labor unions, are mat
tiers of record.
Under the circumstances, it
would be foolish to think Federal
law legalizing compulsory union
membership as a condition for
employment would affect only
employees of industries engaged
in interstate commerce.
Compulsory membership in a
labor union as a condition to ex-
ercise the right of earning a hv-
ing in the United States is repug-
nant to the fundamental freedom
for which this Nation stands.
The Democratic platform labor
pledge taken in Los Angeles
would be destructive Of two great
principles on which this Nation
is founded - individual liberty
and States rights.
These are among the safe
guards of our freedom against
tyrannical central government.
TO defend this freedom / shall |
oppose the repeal of the authori-
cation for State right-to-work
laws whenever and wherever the |
effort is made.

as CAMERON.

all Of the II countries except

But where are their

Of the Diplomatic List issued
by the Department Of State

find all these countries, ex-
cept Nigeria, missing from 1t.
Bit by bit, piece by piece.
you begin collecting the
story.
You learn:
Only a few Of the new
countries have full-fledged
working diplomatic missions
here.
In the case of most, their
man at the United Nations
is also their man in Wash
ington, accredited to the
United States Government as
such, but not having an Of
fee here.
And, some have not even
applied as yet for the OPEN
ing of diplomatic relations.
Most Of these countries are
facing an acute shortage Of
trained personnel. and some
are short of funds.
But, from the first, the
record Of the Ivory Coast. is
impressive.
This New Mexico sized
country, with a population
about equal that Of Boston.
is the first among the new
smaller nations to briskly
tackle the task Of chancery
establishment.

sador- designate. You learn
that the 5-feet-6-inch, 150-
pound. goateed diplomat is
