SPRINGFIELD BUILDING BOSSES ARE USING
PEOPLES COURTS TO FIGHT FOR OPEN SHOP

Springfield, Ill.,, July 15.-The
General Contractors Association, the
Springfield Building Bosses Union, is
using the courts of the people in its
fight for the open shop.
Union carpenters, plumbers, tin
ners, painters, electricians and
cement workers of the Union Trades
Council have been served with notice

contractors.
1t is expected that the employers
will be able to induce the police to
see things their way as to just when a
striking union man is interfering
with workmen in the employ of the
open shop contract
Despite this alliance of the courts
with the bosses union, the position
of the building trades workers today
is stronger than ever it was.
The strike has now been going on
for ten weeks. It originated with
demand by the carpenters union for

day afternoons off. Subtracting the
pay lost by the half holiday, which
was asked for solely that more men
might be employed and employment
furnished for all, each carpenter
would have received only about 20
cents more each week than he had
been getting.
But the employers, thinking the
time ripe for a big fight on unionism,
refused to grant the demands of the
men, and began fight to a finish on
the closed shop. The situation as it
is today was summed up by R. E.
WOodmansee, secretary of the
Springfield Federation of Labor and
president of the Board of Education,
as follows:

FIGHT FOR OPEN SHOP
in the growth and prosperity of
Springfield.
To-day, only forty of the five hun
dred carpenters in Springfield are
not working. Practically every other
man of the six thousand union men in
the city is employed; yet the strike
continues with all the moral force
and effectiveness with which it be-
gan.
'The contractors of the General
Contractors Association are handi-
capped and are losing ground every
day, while the contractors who have
declared for the closed shop and
have met the carpenters demand are
rushed with more work than they
ever had before and are plentifully
supplied with all kinds of labor.
Though the open shoppers have
imported carpenters from st. Louis,
they have difficulty in getting enough
capable men. Their work will be
completed only after disastrous de-
lay if it is completed at all. The rea-
son for this is that they can get none
of the sub-cOntractors to complete
their jobs. The painters, plumbers
and all the allied trades will not go
to the open shop contractors, and
with this the rush season, little labor
of that sort can be imported.
''The employers have had every
chance in the world to settle. When
they refused the just demands of the
carpenters, there was a strike of all
the trades council for two weeks.
When this failed to bring the con-
tractors to time, the general strike
was abandoned; the allied trades
continued to refuse to work for open
shop contractors, but went back to
the closed shop men. This hurt the
General Contractors Association
worse than the general strike.
