Several persons nave asked why wc have called the right-to-work laW the right-to-wreck law. We have even been accused of name calling. In the first place, the official title of the bill is, and we quote from Chapter 19, page 3132' of the Acts of 1957, Indiana, 90th session: “AN ACT prohibiting denial of employment or encouraging the denial of employment because of membership or non-membership in a labor organization; prohibiting the solicitation of or making of any agreement to exclude persons from employment because of membership or non-membership in, or resignation or expulsion from a labor organization; providing that violations thereof shall be recoverable in an action at law; repealing all laws in conflict herewith and declaring an emergencyS” Now. ’obviously this is too loßg a title to refer to when disclosing the law. Therefore, those who favor it, notably the State Chamber of Commerce and Natiqpal Association of Manufacturers and related organizations, ho,ve dubbed it the euphonious « “4ght-to-work” law: This implies that it grants a right to workers to'a job. It does not do that in any way. What is does is this. In; the 1870 s there were no labor oijganizations in Adams county. Wages were far lower than $1 a doty. Workers had none of the many things we consider rights today, such as high school education. opportunity to save, travel, etc. So unions were founded, these unions fought hard, established higher standards for factories, raised wages, not just money received but real wages, the percentage of national income received by workers as a whole. Now workers in Decatur, and elsewhere, whether they are union members or not. share in these higher standards. In some places workers have voted for, and received in contract form, what they desired, a closed shop,. This meant that if a person wanted to work in the factory, and receive the wages and privileges which the union organization had

dad attained, he must join the union. It never meant that a union shop was required against tne wishes of the factory worker's when the contract was established. It merely meant that if the workers wanted it, they could have it. Chapter 19 wrecks this opportunity of labor to organize themselves, and keep what they have obtained. That is why this newspaper sometimes refers to it as a “right to wreck” law. We feel that it does. There are others who honestly disagree with us. We certainly believe that they have a right to /io so. At the same time we feel that we have a right, and duty, to voice other opinion on the same question. Under chapter 19 a union, representing the workers, cannot make a contract which requires that workers receiving union - scale wages either join, or if their religion prohibits that, support, the union which obtains their wages. It means the company can hire all non-union men, in reality, and force wages down over a period of years. The repeal of this law will not force a union shop on those workers Who do not desire one. But it will mean that those want a union shop may have one. » o o We wonder if those who favor right-to-work I laws will vote against Handley to keep him here as governor. He has stated that if he remains, he will veto any attempt to repeal the right-to-work law. Q O Vve received a telephone call Wednesday from an irate Republican concerning the local enforcement of highway weight laws on trucks. This person blamed Handley and Zeis in no uncertain v terms, and stated that this area of Indiana was far woj-se on arrests than any other, and that Indiana in general,'“especially the Fort Wayne area, was known to truck drivers as a place to avoid. It seems that a number of Republicans. for a number of different reasons, tare up in arms this year against Handley.

Damage From Frost Slight In Indiana Most Os Crops Well Toward Maturity LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPDFarm experts characterized today as “very slight” the damage to Indiana crops occurring from heavy frost last Week- 7 Robert E. Straszheim, agricultural statistician .at Purdue University, wrote in the weekly crop report that most crops were far enough advanced toward maturity at the time the frost came that little loss resuled. “There were light frosts in many areas on Wednesday aqd heavy frosts in most areas on Thursday morning,” the report said. “Most crops were far enough advanced toward maturity that damage was very slight. “Corn on the preceding Saturday was 75 per cent safe from frost. Any loss of yeild in the remaining portion is almost negligible. Except for a few late fields, soybeans were ripe when frosts came. The forst killed weed growth in soybean fields which otherwise would have made soybeans difficult to combine. “Somd late pickings of tomatoes will be lost as a result of the frost.” Straszheim said soybeans were 30 per cent harvested, compared with 45 per cent a year ago, by the end of last week. Corn harvest for cribbing is just beginning in localized areas. About 40 per cent of the wheat has been seeded which is a little less than last year at this date. The report said weather during the week was “almost ideal for farm work and for maturity and drying of crops.” o - • I Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE | o — Q.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Ralph Campbell was one of the Virginians that believed family traditions and sectional loyalties came first in either war or peace. His older son. Macklyn. agreed with him and gave up a commission as colonel in the U. S. Army to serve the Confederacy. Ralph’s younger son. Colin, judge of the district of Denbury, was swayed between adherence to his father's wishes and his feeling of duty to the Union. Besides this problem. Colin Is having trouble with his aristocratic fiancee. Jeannie Dare She is not tolerant of his acquaintanceship with two "poor whites." Ling and Ann Stewart. of the hackwoods region of Hobbs Creek. Under the circumstances the promise of diversion from his problems that is presented by Ling’s invitation to hunt for game at Hobbs Creek Is alluring to Judge Campbell However he feels duty bound to visit petulant Jeannie, and is recaptlvated by her beemllfng rharm before going to hunt with Ling. On his way to the Stewarts’ Ing cabin Colin Is entranced hv a lovely vacant house and visualises buying ft and living there with Jeannie. At the Stewarts’ Colin meets their two small boys and Ann’s father.

CHAPTER 10 •“pHAT NIGHT after a dinner of ’ venison steaks, baked potatoes and blueberry pie. Ann's father and the children went to bed. Ann and Colin settled themselves before the fire while Ling went outside to bed down the cattle. Colin turned thoughtfully to Ann. "1 passed an emnty house in a clearing on mv way tn.” he said. "It's on top of a knoll, perhaps half a mile from Hobbs Creek It's one of the loveliest houses I’ve ever seen. Do you know who owns it?” "My father, Enos Pollard,” she said quietly "Your father!” Ling could not hide his astonishment. "He designed ft and had It built according to his design." Then she added softly, “He was not always as he is.” "Forgive me if I have offended you." "You haven’t.” she answered serenely. "May I ask why you are interested In my father’s place?” 'Tm going to be married as soon as my fiancee and I can f>nd a house of our own I love that house Is it for sale?” “It's a tong way to Denbury.” "I've considered that. I’ll leave Dusty, the horse that takes me to and from court, at my father’s house Robin or Pegasus, my other stallion, will get me there in an hour or so and I’ll pick up Dusty at Quail Wings. If I’m very busy, I’ll spend the night in Denbury, and Jeannie can always visit her father if she wants to see her Denbury ■ friends." “Jeannie is your fiancee?” “Yes, the girl who was waiting for me outside the court the day you were there.” "She is lovely." “I know that you and she will be the dearest of friends if we move to—to Campbell Hill."

born cases you may have to use the fingers, and this is quite all right if you do not allow the fingers to touch the fish. Q. Is it correct to wear earrings at any time, or should they be reserved only for certain occasions? A. Small ones can be worn anywhere at any time. But the diamond type and long, dangling ones are best worn only with evening or party frocks. Q. Even if the wedding is to be very small and informal, would it be all right for the bride to wear a white bridal veil? A. Yes, provided, of course, that it is not her second marriage. ■ i o —■ -—o | Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE O O Hair Brushes Do not put the silver-backed hair brushes injo water.

already has a name! It is for sale.' Colin, but might it not be wise to let your Jeannie see the place before you talk of buying?” “Os course! But I know she'll love it as I do.” “Then 1 shall be happy for the two of you.” • • ♦ The sun was up when Ling and Colin left the house next morning. Holding the long rifle that went wherever he did, Ling turned to pull the door softly shut and drop the latch. “We’ll come back for the hounds later,” Ling said softly. CoUn nodded his agreement. Leading the way down the worn path. Ling walked as gracefully and precisely as a puma His stride seemed slow because It Was effortless, and in that domestic setting he was. as Any wild animal would have been, . more than a little out of his element. They crossed Hobbs Creek on the wooden footbridge and climbed the hill. Here Ling stopped to look back at the house before he entered the wooils. Reassured that all was well, hi- relief at turning away was visible. As soon as the woods closed about him there was no suggestion that he was out of place. He fitted in as naturajly as ttfe wind, Colin thought. The farm was a convenient home for his family and provided part of his livelihood; but the forest gave him life. As they walked along, Colin watched Ling with growing respect. Though a hunter by profession. he had a philosophy of sorts —a feeling for the natural order of things which served as his code of ethics. Colin had seen enough amorality, immorality and just plain meanness in Denbury court to appreciate a good man when he met one. Presently, Ling turned and whispered tensely, "This is it; Jedge.” The paw marks of a huge bob cat led over the rim of the knoll. Ling pointed and whispered again,-"See that patch of brush, right Tongside the dead chestnut and mebbe ten feet up the other slope? He’s bedded there Sit tight and I'll show you how- to get him.” Silent as a ghost, Ling disappeared. Colin watched the patch of brush until his eyes ached Then he saw Ling in the valley, ■approaching a show-covered’ fallen log on knees and one hand; the other hand carried his rifle. When he reached the log, he crouched beside it and lifted the back of his hand to his lips several times in rapid succession. Colin watched in puzzlement, the bobcat emerged from the brush, slowly, cautiously, on the prowl. As it approached the fallen log, Ling’s rifle spoke. The huge cat fell in its tracks. Colin voiced a shout of adipiration. It had taken superb woodsmanship even to approach the cat without frightening it, but to nted by publisher, Dodd. Mead & Co.. I

i coax it from Its hiding place—l "That was the finest bit of hunting I have ever seen!” he said breathlessly when he stood at Ling's side. “T’wasn't that good,” Ling grinned. "You take a big old cat like this’n and he’ll lay somethin’ aside for rainy days even if his belly’s full. I fooled him. Listen!" Ling put the back of his hand to his lips as he had done when he crouched by the log. The sound that emerged from behind his hand was the squeak of * a rabbit in distress. “That old bobcat took me for a bunny rabbit.” Colin threw back his head and laughed uproariously Later, looking back on that day, it occurred to him that he hadn’t laughed like that for months. • • • Overriding a majority of the state’s people, who were opposed to secession, and ignoring the legislature, the more fiery of South Carolina’s secessionists had convened at Charleston. Four days ago. on December 20. 1860, the convention had nullified that provision by which South Carolina had ratified the United States Constitution just-seventy-two years before and declared that she was once more a free and independent state. The thought of secession had dripped glibly from many tongues and occupied many minds, but it had never seemed more than a dream or a threat, depending on the viewpoint. It was a satisfying prospect to some, a dread prospect to others, but always a vague possibility, never an act to be carried out. However, no thunderbolts had ripped South Carolina. no plague had stricken her, and no troops had been sent to suppress what at best was outright rebellion. Long a fantasy, secession was a reality that was spreading with epidemic speed throughout the entire South. And , most of its supporters managed to delude themselves in thinking that war would not follow. Colin put on his topcoat and stepped from his Denbury court chambers into the cold afternoon, trying and failing to capture the spirit of the season. It was Christmas Eve. but the only humans who appeared even remotely affected with Christmas spirit were children. Riding along on Dusty, Colin considered the evening that was most likely in store for him. His brother, Macklyn, had arrived at Quail Wings today. The subjects that occupied all adult minds had been scrupulously avoided by Colin and his father ever since they had come so close to breaking a few weeks ago. With Macklyn’s return, their tacit agreement to keep silent would be shattered. And judging by his letters, Colin knew that Macklyn was, if possible, an even more ardent Southerner than his father. He did not look forward to the evening. (To Be Continued; Ibc. Dist. by King Features Syndicate

Meany Arbitrator * In Labor Dispute Unprecedented Move For Labor Annals NEW YORK (UPD—An event unprecedented in labor annals will take place Oct. 21 when ,AFLrCIO President George Meany begins arbitration of a contract dispute involving one of the labor organization’s member unions. Meany has *been agreed upon as arbitrator by the American Merchant Marine Institute, representing 20 major steamship companies, and the Association of Masters, Mates and Pilots, representing hip’ officer. But no one could quite agree on the motives behind his selection. Ships’ officers had been on strike six days and 50 American flagships were tied up in New York harbor when the Merchant Marine Institute—not the unioninvited Meany to arbitrate and promised to abide by his decisions. He accepted, the union agreed, and the strike was called off Monday night. Demonstrate “Good Faith” The shipowners said the invitation to Meany demonstrated their "good faith,” but spokesmen for the union suspect it as a publicity seeking move that backfired. Anyway, Meany vows to do his “very best” to find a solution acceptable to both sides. “If I didn’t think I could be neutral in this matter. I wouldn’t have taken the job,” he said. “It was a surprise, and a lot of people didn’t take the Institute’s invitation to me too seriously at first,” Meany admitted. “But I decided to cooperate if both sides wanted me, and they did. I don’t feel there’s any particular honor in being selected for this lob. A Particular Situation The veteran labor leader said selection of a union bigwig as arbitrator has never before occurred to his Knowledge, and he doesn't "anticipate it happening again.” He described the East Coast ship officers’ dispute as a “very par-

ticular situation.” • “Naturally I couldn’t take the position of arbitrator in all types at strike negotiations,” he said. “And I probably wouldn’t be asked to in many situations.” Capt. Floyd Gaskins, chairman of the union's negotiating committee, bluntly described the Merchant Marine Institute’s invitation to Meany as “a bunch of garbage —just a means of getting a lot of publicity.” Ralph E. Casey, president of the Merchant Marine Institute, said

THURSDAY, OCTOBER fl,

the invitation to Meany was extended as a demonstration of management’s good faith. He said Meany's acceptance would have “far reaching consequences" on the whole shipping industry. More than one billion collapsible tubes containing toothpaste, shaving cream, skin lotions, pharmaceuticals and many other liquid and semi-liquid products were purchased in the U.S. last year.
