has won almost universal acceptance.
The issue before us today is not one of
union shop or open shop. These decisions if made at all,
occur as secondary questions to be reached by the legisla-
ture, in the democratic election process.
The right 'sought here is a neutral one.
However, without this recognition, which the amendment
suggests, the basic issue of representation at all is
not resolved. It is absent and in its place we provide
unrecognized channels and actions that precipitate unrest
and confusion.
I would suggest that attempts to affirm the rule
of reason in this most vital area could best be made by
the adoption of this amendment, and therefore, Mr.
Chairman, and fellow delegates, I earnestly solicit your
support as reasonable men and reasonable women to weigh
the issue before you and thereby cast your vote in favor
of this amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: Mr. Chairman, I yield three
minutes to Delegate Child.
