These are among the safeguards of our freedom against tyrannical central government. To defend this freedom I shall oppose the repeal of the authorization for State righttowork laws whenever and wherever the effort is made. At this point I submit the following analysis of the labor platform adopted by the Democratic Party as prepared by my staff: Calls present administration antilabor. Emphasizes Full Employment Act objectives. Pledged $1.25 minimum wage. extension of unemployment compensation coverage. protection of migrant. farm. etc.. workers. Would outlaw State righttowork laws. Pledges repeal of antilabor and restrictive provisions of TaftHartley and 1959 Disclosure Act in re picketing. striking. negotiatIng. organizing. etc.
