labor unions have nothing to do with this proposal?
DELEGATE BOTHE: The labor unions certainly have
a deep interest in it. I might add, however, Delegate
Hostetter, that organized labor has an unselfish interest

ones who would get some practical effect out of this proposal
are not people with whom big labor has any interest.
They already have the protection under federal law which
would be extended here to others.

of speech also have the counter right of not to speak?
DELEGATE BOTHE: I don't understand your question.
