WAR ON LABOR UNIONS
Luzerne County, Pa, Contr actors Make
a Stand For the Open Shop.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept 1.-THE EN-
ployers' Association of tho building
trades of Luzerne county declared open
warfare upon union labor and will
make a stand for the open shop in
every branch of the building trades
The employers posted notices at every
shop and building operation that a
general suspension had been decided
upon until September 10. when all mon
who desired would be re-employed I'M
der open shop rules only. and that
hereafter the building trades unions
would not be recognized.
The order came as complete sur
prise to the workmen. who consider it
a direct challenge. and a labor war
greater than any since the anthracite
strike is expected. Between 5000 and
10000 workmen. carpenters. masons.
bricklayers and metal workers and
other building trades are affected di
rectly, besides several thousand build
ing laborers. The lockout embraces
all operations in the city of Wilkes
barre, Pittston. Plymouth and Nanti-
coke and the large boroughs of King
ston, Edwardsville, Ashley Plains,
Parsons. Luzerne and w-st Pittston.
The action of the en- 0:ers was the
outcome of several stormy meetings
and was due principally to strike of
carpenters against alleged unfair lum-
Der at several buildings under course
of construction. Nearly all the en-
ployers paid off their employees imme-
diately after the order was posted and
all the men at once removed their
tools.
