such state laws but the A. P. of L. is more active on the closed-shop issue since it has more at stake. Under the closed-shop plan a workman must belong and pay dues to a union if he keeps his job. If he won't join or pay dues he has no job. National legislation on the subject is .proposed by Senator Ball (R. Minn,). He says: “The closed shop in American industry is about the most reactionary and unliberal institution that we have developed. No liberal who believes in individual freedom can regard it as anything else, because it turns over to an outside agency, the union, absolute control over the individual's right to work at his chosen occupation and earn a living for his family,

“The simplest and soundest, as

well as the most liberal and direct approach, is simply to outlaw the closed or union shop.” Senator Ball will have a bill with this aim in the next congress. A similar house bill is proposed by Rep. Miller (R. Neb.), who also would outlaw sympathy and jurisdictional strikes and the check off method of paying union dues.

Nation Warned Socialization

Would End Free Enterprise

Why do we have a Community Fund?

Because it’s the simple, sensible way to raise at one time the money needed by the Indianapolis Red Feather social, welfare, health, and recreational agencies of our Community Fund.

Do the agencies like the idea?,

Yes. It means the money they must have is secured in an orderly fashion. ..rather than left to hit-or-miss individual drives.

: How much money do we need?

. $1,328,000.

Who says we need that amount?

A committee of our own local citizens which has studied the needs of the community and the budgets of each agency.

Who decides how much each Red Feather service gets?

Our committee weighs the need for each service : 1 3

*. %

What does the Red Feather mean?

The Red Feather is a symbol of our faith in our fellow men, our willingness to share what we have with others, and a desire to bring health, happiness, and opportunity to all the people in our community: It identifies the member agencies of our Community Fund. The Red Feather in your hat or lapel, or in your store or office window, means that you have rendered a service to your town by giving to your Community Fund.

How do | give?

Sometime between November 4 and 20 a volunteer Red Feather worker will call on you at home or at your place of business. Give him your pledge then:

Why should

| give?

Because, in giving, you will help not only your coms munity, but yourself. Everybody benefits—because Red Feather services improve the health, happiness, and welfare of our people. They help build good citizenship and character among dur youth. They help make our town a better place for you to live.
