It was apparent in the beginning that the union knew it was wrong, and I can see that this method used against an individual, who does not have the basic understanding of his "free" rights, or the money to legally fight, would be very effective. The above is a typical example of what would happen were this bill passed.

The union, following this course of action to a successful conclusion would enable them to eventually dictate the use of materials, working specifications, forceful membership of subemployees in the union, and take away the control that the general contractor now has over how the job should be run, and above all, destroy an individual's right to operate as an individual.

This bill would deny so many individual rights and is, personally, such an obnoxious dictatorial action that it offends my rights of free enterprise. I could go on and on, but above all, let it be understood that I am against the passage of this, or any bill like it.

Sincerely yours,

KENNETH BEHLING.

(Whereupon, at 1 p.m., the subcommittee recessed, to reconvene at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 1, 1960.)
