Doubt about the scope of the law governing expenditure by US trade unions in federal elections, despite the seeming clarity of par. 304 of the Labor- management Act of 1947, has not been dispelled by the various decisions of federal courts since. From those decisions it appears that a union may pay from its general fund to publish & distribute `educ'al' material & voting records, to conduct registration drives, & to `get out the vote.' But financial support for a particular candidate or party may come only from its separate, voluntarily given, pol'al fund. Reasons are advanced for believing this dichotomy to be unsatisfactory in practice, & for recommending that legal reform in this sphere could well have regard to the British Trade Union Acts of 1913 or 1927.
