The fate of the controversial "right-to-work" proposals on six state ballots yesterday was extremely mixed. In one state, Ohio, the proposal to bar contracts requiring a worker to join a union was definitely rejected, in three others appeared on the way to defeat, and seemed to have passed in two states.
Ohio voters decisively voted "no" by a 2-1 majority on the referendum proposal. The same outcome was indicated by fragmentary returns from California, Colorado, and Washington.
However in Kansas and Idaho the proposals to outlaw union shops were winning. The vote is close in both states.
Labor unions had mobilized massive get-out-the-vote campaigns in California and Ohio which seem to be successful. A "yes" vote in either state would have represented a major setback for the unions.
