Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - August 24, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news fair Section one 2 sections no. 92, no. 199mt. Pleasant Iowa monday evening August 24, 1970 Price to cents these Days expects millions by John Chamberlain they dare to Bell the labor cat does anybody know How much the practice of Feather bedding a Union compulsion1 Ani management to hire unnecessary workers contributed to the bankruptcies of the Penn Central and Jersey Central railroads the hiring of redundant manpower such As a fire a Lens for diesel trains a practice which is a relic of the steam Era must have added considerably to the Cost Structure of the railroads Over the years. The Issue is still a live one president Nixon had to step in with his 60-Day, Cool off order in Early july to keep Railroad unions from going out on strike to save those extra jobs. It takes Brave men in Congress to question Feather bedding. But there Are two such men a senator John Tower of Texas and senator Paul Fannin of Arizona. Tower is out to change the railway labor act As Well As the National labor relations Board. Fannin has volunteered to Bell the Union cat in a number of instances. led the fight in the Senate against the compulsory Union shop provision in the postal Reform Bill. And now is proposing to make it illegal for a Union to require an employer to pay a for services not desired or required a including those of a standby too three or four years ago Fannin could not have hoped for majority support for any such legislation. The musicians unions have always claimed that they Are actually performing a service when their members stand by offstage waiting for a tape recording failure. And the Railroad a a firemen have claimed they Are a a working As a a insurance just in Case an Engineer or a brakeman has a heart attack. The labor lawyers Wise in the ways of semantics have made such an interpretation of the Law stick even though the employer May obviously paying twice for a single Job. When the Economy still had a lot of fat to live on Only a few zealots cared about the Holdup philosophy that sustained Feather bedding. But in our present period of High inflation the temper of the country is changing. Not All Union practices Are sacrosanct. True enough Fannin could not get the Senate itself to Knock the compulsory Union feature out of the postal Reform Bill. But the House of representatives More responsive to the grassroots eliminated the compulsory clause from its version. The Senate had to agree with the House in conference. So there is a Chance that Tower and Fannin May succeed in persuading the Senate to gave Feather bedding a the works in some future session of Congress if not in this. The National federation of Independent business which has nearly 300,000 members was recently polled on the anti Feather bedding Bill. Ninety one per cent voted to support the Fannin proposal while Only 7 per cent voted a a not and 2 per cent were undecided. This was from the heart of a Little business territory. What is needed is a similar response from big business. But big Bushless give or take a few representatives does not like actively to annoy unions. O o o the a Little Many in a business is More often than not victimized when the big fellow of the Trade deciles to go along with the Union organizers demands. In the thirties Little steel fought the Cio but the whole Industry had to give in once big us. Steel had signed with John l. Lewis. In the California grape country the growers along with a majority of their employees who did not relish the Prospect of having to apply to a single Union hiring Hall for jobs held out against Cesar Chavez a United farm workers organizing committee As Long As John Giu Marra the biggest grower was fighting Chavez and calling him the potential a Czar of agriculture in the however when Giu Marra finally capitulated because of the grape Boycott at the stores the rest of the Industry had to follow. A titties business in the grape growing Field would have been protected against a Giumarra Type surrender if Congress had Only passed a country wide a right of work Law. However there Arentt enough Fannins around for that in Congress at least not just yet. The response of the grassroots to the Effort to eliminate Feather bedding May encourage congressmen to grow bolder about labor Reform. And the 1970 elections May make considerable difference if those Little businessmen who Are still the predominant Power in Milch of americans a a heartland continue to give senators Tower and Fannin of women to March Boston up a feminist Betty Friedan predicts millions of american women will demonstrate for equal rights with men wednesday the 50th anniversary of woman suffrage a on a scale none of us dared dream of even two years ago.,�?� a after this Day nothing in this country will quite the same again a she promised launching National women a strike week sunday night before some 250 cheering women and a scattering of men in the City where the feminist movement was bom in 1636.
