Ith at the Bks Club. Mr. Lopp has 'appeared on proj(rsms in this locality on previous occasions and has proven his reputation as an outstanding speaker and entertainer. The meeting of these members of tha Ogallala Association which is affiliated with the Federal Land Bank of Omaha will commence with a free dinner for the members and their families.

But tince 1047 and passage of the Taft-Hartley Act although then has been an increase of about 8.000,000 in tha tabor force. the. Unions have been able to increase their membership only approximately 2100.000, which is very discouraging from the Labor viewpoint President Eisenhower to expected to renew one suggestion he made in 1934 which he has termed "union and that is the provisions that "economic" Strikers, or those who strike for wage demands, have no job protection at the end of a strike and they can be replaced and lose their voting rights. The Employers can bring in new beta and vote a union out of existence insofar as bargaining rights are concerned.

The President would give these strikers the right to vote in subsequent elections. The Issue, how-ever is not considered important enough to open up the taw to tha risk of qrideipraad and new crippling amendments. The Democratic platform calls for a repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act But with the voting strength so dote in tM Congress, the protabor Democratic liberals era not stnog enough to berry our repeal in the face of a majority of Repub-: licans and the Conservative southern Democrats who vote with them.

Act hut if these changes follow his. recommendations In M54, labor opposition will I defeat them as they did then as opening the wsy to worse labor abuses than Labor claimr the present act contains. Thif Oon-- grass seems to be a mite more liberal than the last Congress, but these liberals are not strong enough to push through any real changes for the benefit of Labor. Labor particularly chafes under the provision of the set which makes possible the restrictive "right to work state laws.

This provision has been used in the South with especially adverse effect on organisation of labor unions throughout the South. Whether the Taft-Hartley Act Is a "slave labor" act aa some Labor Unions claim is a moot question. But as a matter of practical realism Labor Unions have not farad well since the Act wee passed fas mid-lM7 in increasing union strength. First they lost the dosed shop. And some targe business interests would not only liks to strengthen Section 14-b of the Act which coven the State right-to-worfc laws but also would like to set the union shop abolished by direct federal taw.
