PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 29.—In the realm of labor problems an issue which the country will have to meet head on in the coming months is the issue of the closed shop—re-

quiring every worker in a company to belong to the union|

before he. can be hired. Closed shop demands are being pressed by unions in many industries.

In the settlement of any dispute in the labor field,

there are four parties concerned -—— management, labor, the Government and the public, As a fact-finding organization devoted to public opinion research, the Institute has conducted a survey to determine where the public stands on the closed shop issue. The results indicate that labor union leaders have thus far not been able to win the support of public opinion for their closed shop demands. .. The voters interviewed in the poll —voters representing an accurate cross-section of the nation—are op-

posed to the closed shop by a ratio of approximately 6 to 1. A comparison with the results of earlier polls on the same issue shows that the closed shop has less public support today than it has had in recent years. Today’s survey, one of a series on labor which is being reported this week, was on the following issue: “Are you in favor of the closed | shop—that is, requiring every work‘er in a company to belong to a union before he can be hired?” The trend of sentiment follows: UndeFavor pose cided June, 1937........ 28% "son 13% June, 1939........ 23 15 TODAY ......... 13 » 10 The declining sympathy for the closed shop follows the general trend of sentiment toward labor unionism. As reported earlier this week, the Institute has found that, although the great majority of voters sup-

o fi sign of ported the right of workers to join

unions, nevertheless, there has been a decline in public sympathy for organized labor in the past: few years, Closed Shop Criticized

It is not necessary to talk to many voters in order to discover what is the most typical and the most widespread objection in the mind of the American public to the closed shop. Briefly, it is this: “The closed shop takes away the right of ithe worker to decide whether he wants to belong to a union, No one should be forced to join a union. That is not the American way of doing things.” That is the chief sentiment expressed by the overwhelming maJority of those opposed to the closed shop. Some voters add! “The closed shop takes away equality of opportunity between union men and nonunion men.” The chief argument in favor of the closed shop, as set forth by those voters who approve it, is that only through a closed shop can the “little man” combat the power of the employers. - A typical statement of persons holding this view is: “These big business bosses can’t get away with so much when there is a closed shop. If the little men can stick together and fight back, they will get places.”

NAZIS REVEALED

Lists Pregram to Gain ‘Last German Soul.’

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (U. P.)— On Oct. 22 The Christian Science Monitor published an abstract of an alleged Nazi plan for a national church to supplant existing churches in the Reich and “annihilate” Christianity. Editors ¢ The Monitor, commenting on President Roosevelt's discussion of such a plan said that their document was obtained inde-

source. The virtually complete abstract of the Nazi anti-church document, as published by The Monitor, listed a 30-point program for a new Nazi national church to be known as N. R. (Nationale Reichskirche), Credited to Rosenberg

The Monitor said that the scheme was advanced by Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi philosopher and policy maker, but that this did not necessarily mean it would be carried out. Nevertheless, The Monitor said, it does mark the course of Nazi thinking and “shows the determination of Naziism to use all means to sub-

session of the last German soul.” The Rosenberg version of N. R.

lines with the sword the symbol instead of the. cross and “Mein Kampf” the credo instead of the Bible, The Monitor said. All other churches or religious orders would have to leave the Reich and there would be a strict ban on any religious group holding property or receiving property. Bans Priests in Churches There would be no priests, clergy

Monitor's version related, and only Nazl party orators would have the right to speak in the churches, which would remain only in the architectural sense. Article 5, The Monitor said, states that “N. R. is determined unswervingly and by all means to annihilate Christian faith, which though foreign to our eins and character was imported to Germany.” ' Ne R. would decree that henceforth “our people’s greatest document and book will be our Fuehrer’s Mein Kampf. N. R. is conscious that this book contains not only the greatest but, much more, the purest ‘and truest ‘ethics for the present and future of our people.” The new order would forbid bap-

child would swear that they "ate probably of Aryan

descent.” Marriages are to be performed, The Monitor's ¢ text said, with the repetition of the oath of loyalty with the right hand on the sword.

At State House—

Road Needs; Carrier "Group Suit “Possible.”

By EARL RICHERT' + In an effort to save $1,200,000 in ‘much-needed highway revenue, the State Highway Study Commission today asked Indiana truck operators to refrain from filling suit against the new increased truck

fee Jaw. “The plea was made in the form of a resolution passed by the Study Commission at its second meeting yesterday at the Lincoln Hotel. The new license fee law, which has an obviously faulty title, was passed by the 1941 Legislature to make up most of the $1,600,000 lost by repeal of the truck tire weight tax, which goes into effect next Jan. 1. Could Lose $1,200,000

If a suit is filed against the new law, State House officials are certain that the courts will hold the act invalid because of the faulty title and thus the State will lose $1,200,000 in additional license fee revenue which it would raise. Holding the increased license fee law invalid would not bring back the tire weight tax since the Legislature repealed that tax in a separate measure. A test suit, if it comes, is likely to be brought by members of the Private Truck Owners of Indiana who reportedly oppose Je new law on the grounds that it is discriminatory. They contend that the law is basically wrong in establishing the base rate for license fees on truck length rather than the rate of capacity.

Test Suit ‘Very Possible’

C. W. Abraham, secretary of the Private Truck Owners’ Association, said that in his opinion “it is very, posiile that a lest suis will be “I don’t think the Study Commission’s appeal will met very much consideration,” he added The Private Truck Owners’ Association is to meet here next month to discuss possible action on the new law which goes into effect the

Traffic Association, -has sent a letter to Governor Schricker pledging not to file suit against the law. This association sponsored the increased license fee measure,

Here's the Resolution

The Study Commission’s resolution ' asked that: “Commercial vehicle interests be requested and advised to refrain from attacking this law in the courts, pending the action of the next session of the General Assembly, and that all operators of such vehicles respect and comply with the terms of this act in good faith without regard to alleged legal deficiencies to the end that revenue thus raised be available for urgently needed highway construction.” The Study Commission also passed a resolution commending James D. Adams, retiring’ chairman of the State Highway Commission, for his contributions to the cause of transpeftation in Indiana. The Commission was created by the 1941 Legislature to study Indiana’s highway needs and report to. the 1943 Legislature.
