One of the claims made by Chicago
union men that they should be en-
ployed in preference to nOn-union is that
they are responsible financially for any
work that is not properly done. The
plumbers, for instance, have for ten
years had a clause in their agreement
with the Master Plumbers Association,
which provides that if work it botched
by a member of the union the latter will
compensate the contractor. The Offend
ing member is then compelled to pay the
amount to the union. If a gastittsr does
poor work he is forced by his union to
tear it out and do the job over again in
a satisfactory manner. The same rule APP
plies in the Tileworkers' Union.
