The 38,000 post offices
throughout the United States
are your post offices. You pay
for them to serve you. Make the
post office. (If the sender wants
a personal receipt mailed back
to him, that costs another seven
cents.)
The 25 cents saving comes
from eliminating multiple hand-
ling. A registered letter must
be personally receipted by
everybody who handles it along
the way.

A survfe?, based on U. S. Bureau of Census figures,
shows that retail sales increased by an average of 38.1
per cent between 1948 and 1954 in the 12 states having
right to work laws during that period. In the 36 non-right
to work state8 and t). C. the gain was much less — 29.9
per tterrt.
No one claims that right to work laws were the sole
reasoh for the difference. But the comparison is important
because it has bfebh argued that the right to work prin-
ciple would undermine the economic welfare of working
people and crituse all inahner of financial difficulties in
the states adopting it.
Actually, the right to -work law is in the direct inter-
est of working people. It says, in effect, that a man can
join a uniori dr not jbih, as he wishes, and that in neither
case can that be a condition of employment. In other
words, he is a frele Agent. The union ihust sell itself to
him on its merits, not through coercion and the know-
. ledge that he won’t be able Io get of hold a job if he
doesn’t join. That cahnot help but .make for better and
