"Born In The Brain Of A Tinhorn Hitler"
SYDNEY, Sept. 9. Under the heading ."This Law Was Born in the Brain . of a Tinhorn Hitler," the Daily Telegraph says: "The State Government proposes a law to compel everyone to join a trade union. "But it does not plan to include in the law a provision compelling unions to take a secret ballot on proposals to strike. Compulsion to join a union i? , as complete a negative of the rights of the individual in Democratic society as compulsion to join this or that church, to pay subscriptions to this or that political party,- or to read or not to read this or that book or newspaper. "This compulsion is a technique borrowed from totalitarian bullies. The surprising thing is that the unions should want it — for what is the use of having members who are forced to belong to your organisation?"
