HARDLY THE STAGE FOR IT
RIGHT TO-WORK STATES FORGE AHEAD
(Anchorage Daily News)
Eighteen states have passed right-to-work laws.
While they differ in detail, in broad principle they are
all the same. They guarantee that a man has a right
to join or not to join a labor union or any other legiti
mate private organization, and still get and keep a job.
In short, they protect him against coercion by either
the employer or the union.
One argument against these laws is that they hurt
the economy generally. But a survey made of the 12
states which have had the laws since 1947 belies that
absolutely. These states have matched or outstripped
national average gains in such important barometers
of economic health as non-farm employment, business
in operation, population growth, per capita earnings,
retail sales, new construction and bank saving accounts.
No one claims that the laws alone are the reason
for such improvement. But the facts certainly prove
that the laws in no way hurt workers or others.
Going beyond statistics, the truth is that the right
to work is as fundamental as religious freedom and the
right of free speech, free assembly, and free press.
Where the right to work does not exist, there is no
real freedom.
More Work, Less Research Proposed
To Build up Alaska Salmon Buns
Expert Would Put
Fertilization as Best
Solution to Problem
WASHINGTON UPC-More work
and less emphasis on research was
advanced today as a means of
building up Alaska’s depleted
salmon runs.
“We need them both, but what
we need most is work,” contends
Milo Moore, former Washington
State fisheries director. Moore,
,under the Economic Cooperation
Administration, helped rebuild the
.fisheries of Greece and other
Mediterranean countries.
He is now here as consultant to
the Senate Commerce Committee,
headed by Sen. Magnusan <D- j
Wash) to help draft legislative'
industry’s
.problems.
Moore has one word which he I
firmly believes would solve the
problem of fish depletion. It is
“fertilization.”
“We’re 50 years behind time in
fish farming,” he told a newsman.
“They’ve been doing it in the Or
ient or 5,000 years.”
Fertilized waters in Indonesia
produce some 250,000 tons of fish
yearly; in Singapore, a 1,200-acre
fertilized pond produced 600 tons
of prawns (large shrimp) yearly,
Moore declared.
The theory behind fertilization,
already scientifically demonstrat
ed, is to replace minerals in the
water to produce vegetable plank
ton eaten by animal plankton,
which in turn provide food for
fish. Such minerals used to be J
supplied by the salmon carcasses
but depleted runs mean fewer
sourced of fertilizer.
Kefauver May
Get GOP Help in
Minnesota Primary
Ry the Asso'tATrD Press
Speculation that some Republi
cans may vote in Minnesota’s
Democratic presidential primary
tomorrow has sparked added in
terest in this first direct contest
between Adlai Stevenson and Sen.
Estes Kefauver.
Orville Freeman, Minnesota’s
Democratic governor, said last
night there are indications GOP
voters may cast ballots for Ke
fauver in an effort o embarrass
the state’s Democratic leaders,
who are backing Stevenson.
He said such a move would pre
sent “something of a problem”
for the Stevenson camp, already
pressed by a determined Kefauver
campaign in the state’s rural
areas.
Kefauver was asked at a Min
neapolis news conference whether
he had invited Republicans to
vote for him. The Tennessee sen
ator replied there “is no justifica
tion, in my opinion, for that be
lief.”
Interest in the GOP primary is
scant, since President Eisenhower
is assured of a decisive victory.
Kefauver said he will consider
it a victory if he gets 30 percent
of the vote. He added that he ex
pects to do better.
Both candidates stressed the
I farm issue in talks Saturday at
■ Moorhead. Stevenson accused Re
: publicans of lying about the farm
problem “from the very top.” Ker
fauver said each time Secretary of
\ Agriculture Benson “makes a
i promise farm prices go down."
