REPORT PROM
U.S. Senator
■RLt HELMS
WASHINGTON —Sometime back, I ran across a report
which offered an interesting commentary on how the leaders
of a labor union spend the untold millions of dollars paid in
dues by members of the union.
The information was contained in a brief filed in a fed
eral court case. It included the fact that the average annual
dues paid by union members is $lB5 —and that, of the $lB5,
Only $3 is spent by the union on collective bargaining.
Much of the rest goes for political purposes. Union lead
ers acknowledge that in 1976 they spent "at least" $lO million
on behalf of Democratic Party candidates. The actual political
expenditures by the unions are believed to be far greater than
that.
WORKERS —It doesn't matter whether the dues-paying
union members happen to agree with the political choices of
their leaders. The workers have no say-so. I heard a prominent
union leader acknowledge on television the other day that a
great many of the members of his union favor Governor Reagan
for President. No matter. The leadership of the union does not
favor Reagan; therefore the union is endorsing President Carter.
A recent poll by Opinion Research Corporation showed
that 71 per cent of the American people—including 65 per
cent of the Nation's union members —are opposed to the use
of union dues in political campaigns.
I feel that it is time to call a halt to such excessive polit
ical power as is now being exercised by union leaders. I have
introduced a bill (S. 2325) which, if enacted, will make it un
lawful for union leaders to force their members to finance the
campaigns of candidates whom the workers do not favor.
FAIR —The union bosses have already declared that my
legislation is "anti-union." It is no such thing. It proposes only
that an element of fair play be restored to the political process.
I am not opposed to labor unions. But I feel that no
American ought to be forced to join a union in order to get
a job, or keep one. Nor do I believe that any worker ought
to be forced to pay dues to support political activities which
he or she opposes.
ERA —We live in an era when the inordinate political
clout of a few labor union bosses has almost become an
accepted fact of life. I do not feel that any segment of society
ought to be conceded the right to dictate the political process.
This is true of the instance of other political groups, as
well. A week or so ago, for example, I received a letter from a
self-proclaimed "black leader" in North Carolina. The letter
threatened me with political retaliation if I did not support
a judicial nominee about whom I have raised some questions.
I felt obliged to reply to the "black leader" that if he
knew me, he would know that I do not yield to political
threats. I would rather go home to North Carolina than to
remain in a job which required me to knuckle under to any
pressure group.
I realize that the political process will never be made
perfect But thare are many adjustments that we can and should
r " alFO | i ftfTf|Hlff across the poetical spectrum are ex
ercisiSiJ foi'-too mukh power today—and, frankly, too many
Members of Congress cast their votes in response to the de
mands of these pressure groups.
And that's the wrong way to achieve good government.

Letter To The
Herald Editor:
Pubic Hazard
To the Editor:
As doctors, we wish to
express our concern about
the public health hazard
caused by the large amounts
of smoke in our air in this
region. The burning of large
pieces of land is causing
blankets of smoke over
homes and highways. The
smoke contains large
amounts of particulate
matter; this is harmful to
the lungs as well as creating
dangerous highway con
ditions (such as along busy
Highway 17), These are
direct threats to public
safety.
We hope to bring this
concern to public attention,
and request the assistance
of appropriate officials to
correct this situation.
Sincerely,
