The cab rolled on. Over the Wells
Street bridge to Fifth Avenue with its
rumbling trains overhead; along Jack
son Boulevard with its whizzing auto
mobiles; around the corner onto Mich
igan Avenue with its magnificent
hotels on one side and with Lake Shore
Park on the other. But all of these
failed to arouse him from his reverie.
AS the cab neared Twelfth Street, he
glanced across the park and up at the
large clock on the 1. G. Depot; 8 p. m.
A few blocks farther on he signaled to

AS he neared the church, the bride

The newly married couple came down

as best she could from the falling rice
and the groom watching furtively fol

&C 4 TRADE union, in its usual

n ell, sis an association of
working men who have
agreed among themselves not to bar
gain individually with the employers,
but to agree to the terms of collec-
tive contract between the employer
and the union"
David M. Parry says: "The closed
shop, defined, means that only union
men have the right to labor"
Combine these two definitions and
you have pretty good idea of what
the 'sclosed shop" is. The union man
insists that he has natural right to
say whether he shall, or shall not, work
in the same shop with anonunion man.
With equal insistence, the employer
contends that it is his privilege to en-
ploy whom he wishes, be he union or
nonunion man.
The struggle between capital and
labor is not thing of recent growth,
but has shown itself at various times,
in the life of unonism in America.
Prof. R. T. Ely, in his book "The
Labor Movement in America" cites a
case in Albany where in 1921 strike
was ordered by the Typographical
Society because nonunionist was
employed in a certain office. From
that day to this the struggle has con-
tinued; the unions still fighting for
their watchword: "The greatest good
to the greatest number" while the em.
ployer clings to his belief in "Indiyid
ual Rights"
If we accept the doctrine of ar
"open shop" as the solution to this
problem, we must also accept as true
the contention that each individual hal
