Opposes Compulsory Union Membership Senator Knowland Speaker At Forum SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPD — Sen. William F. Knowland of Cal- | ifornia, Senate Republican floor leader, said Sunday night that workers should not be forced to join unions Speaking over the Manion Radio Forum, Knowland said: “I believe that unions, in order to grow, prosper and contribute to a better life, must induce employes to become members or their organizations voluntarily and not by compulsion. ’ Knowland said he is backing in California an initiative proposal which will permit the people to vote on right-to-work legislation. He added: “It may be a sign of the times that the labor bosses have done and are doing everything possible, from spreading false propaganda to outright distortion, to keep the issue of voluntary unionism off the ballot and out of the people’s hands. Why do they fear to let the people of California pass judgment on this issue?” Knowland said he is supporting an eight-point union reform legislative program, as follows: — Guarantee the election of union officials by secret ballot and assure that the ballots cast are the ballots counted. —Provide for the recall of union officials who misuse their positions of trust and responsibility. —Prevent conspiracies between management and union officials that work against the welfare of union members. —Protect union members’ welfare and pension programs. —Require that where unions are permitted, under law, to represent all employes in an industry or plant, all employes must be admitted into the union if they should desire union membership. —Provide- that union members shall have a voice in the conditions, terms and duration of strikes. —Prevent arbitrary control over local unions of trustees appointed by national or international unions. —Provide for regulation by union members of the actions of their unions on questions of excessive union fees,’ assessments or arbitrary actions.
