Tower Is
For Right

By JACKIE SCHULTZ
During the last session of the
Texas Legislature, a bill to
lower the voting age to 19 was
passed. This bill made us ex-
tremely happy, but not com- Bv SKV JOHN TOWER

remember the part we young

the right to make free choices
about union membership.
It is illegal to deny employ-
ment to any person because of
race, color, creed, or national
origin. It would seem strange,
therefore, to deny employment
to a citizen who prefers not to
join a union.
Right-to-Work means a man is
free to become an active, dues-
paying union member if this
is in his best interest. Right-to-
Work means he also is free not
to join a union if he feels that
is best. This is (he way of free
men. It should continue to be
the way of Texans.
