COMPULSORY LEVIES FOR PARTY FUNDS
»0 THB BDITOB Or IU« PRESS. Sir,—Could you inform me if it is a legal procedure for a trade union to pass a resolution empowering it to impose on its members a compulsory levy for a political party's funds? It seems to me too, that to forde members who were not in favour of the resolution, and probably support another party, to pay this levy or become unfinancial in their union, is an absolute injustice to the minority. If it is allowed by law, it seems to belong more to certain European countries than to a democracy, and groves clearly how liberty may be niched from the people while they dream of Utopia.-Yours, etc., April 29, 1938.
