...would zip right through its agenda and be ready to go home in September. Not everyone is willing to go along quite so easily, however, particularly when it comes to a matter of principle. Just such a matter now threatens to hold congressional adjournment up indefinitely. It is the repeal of section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Law, the famous right-to-work clause. This week the bill, already passed by the House, is scheduled to come up in the Senate. The debate will be heated-and it may be long...
...demolish the remaining state right-to-work laws. Its main argument is that 14(b) undermines union security by allowing nonunion workers to get a "free ride," but that argument is weakening in a day when labor itself enjoys greater acceptance, wealth and influence than ever before. Opponents of repeal argue that labor is so powerful, in any case, that union security hardly hinges on getting rid of 14(b).

But Muggsy, who had run against Allen in 1961, never had a chance...
...keyed, soft-sell TV spots. But some of labor's public relations snags will take more than TV to solve. Union leaders have used their tremendous influence to fight Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, which permits states to enact right-of-work laws (its repeal was passed by the House, is now before the Senate). No doubt, union membership has been held down by 14(b), particularly in the South. But the gains made, when and if it is repealed, may well be offset by adverse public sentiment; many Americans, whether or not they are accurately...
