The unions demand and bring pressure to bear to force "contracts" from the employer.

In return the employer, whose contract is enforceable because the government sees to it that he is required to perform, is given a contract which should be equally binding, but is not, and will never be until the people, through legal processes, enforce equally restrictive regulations against employer and employee. The only way to do this is to force the unions to incorporate and make them, their officers and their membership, equally liable with other corporations, their officers and their stockholders, for legal management of their affairs and strict compliance with their contracts. SQU.AKK DUAL FOR ROTH WORKERS AM) PUBLIC In the State of Washington, last year, a bill was introduced in the Senate which may well serve as a basic model for legislation of this character. The bill was killed after its second reading, but it will be offered again at the next session, which accounts for Dave Beck's anxiety to elect a controlling number of legislators. The "Women of Washington," a powerful organization of women Marie the most sympathetic.

I Sunday Times' Magazine! the sheathing is scarcely-worth the name "protection." Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so labor can only be as strong as Its willingness to conform to fixed, honest standards of open, above-board procedure. This thin armor and weak link is in the explosive and outraged refusal of the two great labor organizations to play the game with all the cards in plain sight and account to their stockholders the workers who pay the dues for the money which flows, practically unchecked, through the hands of the leaders. These stockholders have invested their all; their ability to earn a living for themselves and families, in the verbal promises of the unions, in return for which they are required to pay in to the treasuries of the C.I.O., the A. F. of L.

and their subsidiaries a considerable percentage of their earnings, at the same time obligating themselves to strike whenever ordered to do so by the bosses; to produce at a minimum; to slow the tempo of the best workers to that of the poorest; to contribute in the form of special-assessments whenever called upon and otherwise to surrender all their rights as independent wage earners.

Just why should not strikes be first approved by the rank and file of those actually affected through the medium of a secret ballot? Just why should not labor unions be made responsible to their own members and to the public? Why, in fart, are there so many concealed aces in a cold deck? ONE-SIDED CONTRACTS OP NO LEGAL EFFECT A contract in which there is no meeting of minds is not a legal agreement. The Wagner Act is a case in point.

That act requires collective bargaining between employers and employees. It prohibits "interference by employers in the selection of employee representatives to bargain for them as to hours, wages and working conditions, but. without union incorporation there is nothing to safeguard its pro visions. One party to an agreement is held responsible for its fulfillment, but the other party, having no legal responsibility, remains a free agent. No wonder the union control shies away from incorporation.

This is the situation with labor unions today. They possess power and the leaders refuse to accept responsibility, arguing' that to impose responsibility in the same ratio as business is required to do would ruin them. This is certainly fallacious reasoning. If they are constructively working in the of their members, responsibility of contract can in no wise harm them. LABOR UNIONS NOT BEYOND THE LAW All large businesses are incorporated, and in' this manner are subject to legal supervision of election of officers and directors.
