Washington, Oct. 12
(AP) — The Supreme
Court ha* agreed to re-
view a decision that com-
pulsory union . member-
shin i* unconstitutional
if dues money is used for po-
litical purposes without mem-
bers’ consent The decision
was given by the Georgia
Supreme Court in a suit by
six employe* of the'Southern
Railway Syrftam.
The Georgia court decision (
was appealed by 15 unions,
including railroad brother-
hoods which have union shop
contracts with many railways.
Under union shop contracts,
employs* are required to join
unions within a specified time.
In the Georgia case this wtw
60 days.
The six Southern Railway
System employes said they did
not want to join unions and
should not be forced to pay
duos when part of the money
waa used to support political
candidates they opposed.
“A time for argument of
the case before the highest
court will be set later.
Th# issue is one of far-
reaching import. If the Su-
preme Court agrees with the
Georgia court, unions could
not use any general funds for
political activities — or else
they would have to give up
the union shop.
