Letters to the Editor on union shop and TV censorship
A reader defends union shop practices in a Pennsylvania ILGWU chapter, citing conscientious objectors, dues redirected to the Mennonite Church, and scholarships. The letter argues against right to work myths and urges union education. A second portion complains about TV space news and asks if democracy permits mandatory broadcasts, ending with a note on TV frustration. The writer also recalls elm beetle spraying lessons from 1912 to 1914 and cites 1930 or 1934 disease dates from references.
