Bill Outlawing Closed
-Shop No Aid. To Negroes
i j
RICHMOND—(ANPI —Teke is or leave if is abc'tl she
way Negroes here feel about Virginia's right to work bill. The
bill pasted to outlaw the closed shop was not intended lo aid j
. j NegtLes in getting jobs except, perhaps, as scabs or strike breaks.
The object of the bill is to secuuft the right of. all white
workers to a job regardless of union or non-union affiliates ct
the right cf Negro workers to a jib as scabs or strike breakers.
The right to work law was aimed at closed shops in Vir
ginia had the strong backing of Gov, William M. Tuck
who is bitterly anti-uni; ta. Tuck would hardly ask tot the
execution cf the law in fevoj of the right ot Nogroes io jobs
they are auaiifiod io fill.
Labor is fighting the. law—net in i gussm-val sense- cf the
right of all men U> jobs, but m * right that white- union men
should enjoy. Both labor and the afar* official* are thinking ;
in terms of white wuffe»».
