Employes To Vote 'On Union JACKSON, Miss., March 19.-(UPI)-A labor leader charged Monday that Gov. Ross Barnett favors the exploitation of work-ers at Jackson's largest indus-trial plant. Claude Ramsay, president of the Mississippi Labor Council, referred to a visit the Governor I recently made at the Storkline Corp. cabinet plant. Employes I will vote Thursday on whether I they will have a union doing their collective bargalning. Mr. Ramsay said the manage-ment's views "of exploiting Mis-sissippi workers are evidently shared by Gov. Ross Barnett. It is true that he was not quoted as saying anything about the organizing efforts when he ad-dressed a captive audience at the plant March 13. Neverthe-less, the implication was there and only a fool would believe that he visited the plant on that date without hoping to influence the outcome. o .. "This is a strange state of I affairs when you consider the fact that he made a fortune rep-resenting working people before he became Governor," said Mr. Ramsay, referring to Governor Barnett's career as a lawyer. "We must conclude that he .. has beer. taken in by the mod- ] ern day. carpetbaggers."
