Propose to Form Association of
Builders and Contractors to
Treat With Unions.

Expected That the Organization
VIII Precipitate a MOnstrOus
Struggle Between Labor
and Capital.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Dec. with tine formation
of the building Trades Employers Assoc
citation last spring began what many be-
lieve will be the greatest contest between
capital ana organized labor this country
has ever seen.
As result Of the work achieved by the
New York association a national conven-
ton has been called in Chicago December
TO- composed of builders, contractors,
manufacturers and employers in every
branch of the building industry, for the
purpose Of forming national association,
constructed largely on the work of the
New York association.
This body will represent hundreds of
millions of capital, and test it's strength
with 100000 members of trades unions. 1t
will be organization against organization
and may result in declaring the open
shop policy In every city In the country.
1t is expected that nearly every city in
the United States where there is a central
body of labor unions will be represented
and already forty of the largest cities
have been heard from.
Nothing like the Building Trades En-
ployers Association in New York on so
large scale had ever been achieved in
any city in this country. and all cities
which had been disturbed by labor con-
f1icts watched the outcome. When the ar
bitration plan was announced. and 1t was
demonstrated that 1t had proved success
full. employers in other cities made close
study of the New York movement with
the result that many similar associations
OF employers have sprung up In various
parts of the country.
What Is of greater Importance than the
mere fact OF forming a national organiza-
ton is the advance notice given that a
movement is to be fostered for the open
shop"--the privilege on the part Of the
employer to hire union or nonunion men,
as he sees fit.
In the call sent out for the convention
some of the objects Of the organization
are given as follows:
"All workingmen are at liberty to work
for whomsoever they see At. All employ
ers are at liberty to employ and discharge
whomsoever they see fit"
