Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON —The postal
reorganization bill which won
Senate approval on June 30th
contains a “union shop” pro
vision which is strongly op
posed during debate on this
measure. The Senate version
of the bill to convert the Post
Office Department into an In
dependent government agency
differs from the House ver
sion which eliminated the
compulsory unionism require
ment for employees of the
proposed U. S. Postal Ser
vice.
I voted for the Fannin
Amendment which would
have assured all employees of
•the Postal Service the right,
without fear of reprisal, to
form or join labor organiza
tions, or to refrain from such
union activities. I regret that
the (Fannin Amendment was
rejected by the Senate, be
cause I believe that every man
should have the right to join
a union or the right to re
frain from joining a union. I
also believe that where per
sons voluntarily join a union
—it makes no difference
whether they are federal em
ployees or employees of a
private employer—they should

have the right to negotiate
through representatives of
their choosing with their
employer, whether it be the
federal government or a pri
vate employer, in respect to
conditions of their employ
ment insofar as those condi
tions are not regulated by
acts of Congress.
The Senate-passed bill pro
poses for the first time in
American history that federal
employees shall be compelled
to pay to labor unions sums
of money for the privilege of
working for their government.
It would give to unions as
autocratic a power as the
kings of France had in their
most despotic days. Once the
kings of France possessed al
most absolute power over the
lives of their subjects, and
Frenchmen had to pay their
king for the right to earn a
living during that tyrannical
era.
Today, we find this doc
trine enunciated by those who
advocate compulsory union
ism in the Postal Service. In
essence, what is now propos
ed in the Senate-passed bill
is that the right to work in
the Postal Service is a labor
union right which the labor
union can sell and the indivi
dual postal employee must
buy if he is allowed to earn
a livelihood for himself and
his loved ones.
During a previous genera
tion, labor unions rightly con
demned “yellow dog” con
tracts whereby employees
were required to agree either
to join a union selected by
their employer or to abstain
from joining any union what
ever. The current demand for
compulsory unionism in the
Postal Service, in my judg
ment, is actually a demand
for a “yellow dog” contract
in another form. There is no
difference in the eyes of
freedom between a “yellow
I dog” contract which says that
| a man cannot join a union
I and a “yellow dog” contract
| which says that he must join
a union.
No free man ought to be
compelled to join any organi
zation against his will for the
orivilege of earning his
bread, and no man should be
required to join a union or to
financially support a union
except by his own free choice.
Certainly, no man ought to be
required to pay union dues
as the price of working for
his own government.
iFcr these reasons, I am
hopeful that the Senate-
House conferees, who are
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1979.
considering this bill, will
eliminate the possibility that
postal employees may be
compelled to join a union ir
respective of their own free

Dove Season
Bag Limit Set
RALEIGH The Wildlife
Resources Commission has
announced dates and bag
limits for doves, marsh hens,
woodcock and Wilson's snipe

bag limits were set by the
U. S. Bureau of Sport Fish

sunset. Bag limits are 15
daily and 30 in possession for
clapper and king rails, singly
or in combination; 25 daily
and 25 in possession for sara
and Virginia rails, singly or
collectively, and 15 daily and
30 in possession for galli
nules. Shooting hours for
marsh hens are one-half hour
before sunrise to sunset.
Next in line is the dove
season set to open at noon on
September 2 with the first
segment of a split season to
close October 10, and the sec
ond season to run from De
cember 16 to January 15.
Again there will be a daily
bag of 18 birds with 36 al
lowed in possession. Shoot

sunset.
The woodcock and Wilson’s

16, with shooting hours from
one-half hour before sunrise
to sunset. Bag limits for
