(THE UNHOLY THREE)
Trend Toward Fascism?
TO THE EDITOR: "No Slaves Under the T-H
Act?" The experiences of the International Typo
graphical Union, the oldest trade union in Amer
ica, seem to be in conflict with that statement.
Since the injunction was ruled against union offi
cials, over 11 million dollars, after a vote of 89,000
members, has• been spent to preserve the union
against T-H act; collective bargaining has been
carried on, not with employers, but with General
Counsel Denham of the NLRB and the Federal
courts. This is a definite trend toward fascism.
Under T-H the employer has all the power to
say whether or not an individual may work. T-H
act is compulsory unionism with the employer
dictating that he join a union after 30 days. Under
Wagner act that was shared with a union, i.e.
hiring.
Bargaining collectively has been exercised by
ITU since 1852. Under Denham the T-H law has
been interpreted that we must go back and re
negotiate a lot of standard and accepted practices
earned over 100 years. Since they refused to do
this the injunction was filed. The injunction has
been in force for 16 or 17 months and no decision
yet. The injunction was handed down on the say
so of Denham without any defense permitted by
ITU officials. This is a matter of Senate Labor
Committee record. Is that the American way?
I respectfully suggest that RLR do more research
on the T-H law. May I also suggest that he study
the history of the labor movement and find out
the many "things for better living" that have
come about due to the fighting of labor unions.
After he has been out in the world working for
a living five or ten years he will have a much
richer concept of the "right to work."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
there is an opportunity for an individual to secure
work.
If he should have the opportunity to secure work
individually, why not collectively as in the closed
shop, since it is the declared public policy to en
courage collective bargaining?
—Arthur C. Lukens Jr.
• Letter cut. In line with the Daily Colle
gian's policy of permitting both sides of con
troversial issues to be aired, the above letter
was printed even though written by a non-stu
dent. It does not necessarily represent the views
of Collegian.
TO THE EDITOR: Dear Miss Janet Rosen: You
are to be sincerely pitied for possessing a personal
philosophy of life which includes gloating over
others' misfortunes as you did in your letter of
March 25, in describing the God-given looks of
some of the "imports" to College dances.
Suppose that tomorrow an automobile were to
leave ugly scars on your face and you like most
coeds wanted to marry. What would be your at
traction? Barring money, plenty, if you learned
to be a good homemaker and just listened atten
tively to what your prospective husband said.
Could it be that some of the "strange creatures,"
as you brand them, who are invited here to dances
in spite of their beauty deficiencies have cultivated
their personalities so successfully that they are
invited even at considerable expense and effort
to the fellows?
If a woman is beautiful—fine! Sure wish all
people could be handsome. Because some aren't
and can't help it, let's not ridicule their misfortune
either by direct statement or by implication.
As for the "Red" menace (!) and the Collegian
losing its "most intelligent (?), good looking, and
personable readers," I just had a good laugh (along
with a lot of other readers, I imagine).
