FOR THE UNION SHOP.
Trade Union Methods Strongly Favored
by New York Employer.

Discussing the question of the open
shop and the uniunized shop before the
New York University forum recently,
G. G Norman. formerly chairman Of
the board "f governors of the Building
Trades EmI,uyerS' association. declar-
ed for the unioniZed shop. He said:
Il believe in the union shop and the
open union because preferential
agreement between the employer and
employee is the proper kind Of arrange
ment The trouble with most of the
employers is that. they are busy every
hour Of the day trying to put dollar
on top of another. and they fail to con-
slider that the laboring man is the most
important machine. In the open shop
you have one competitor striving
against another to get all he can out OF
the human body. In the open shop
you will find the employer ready to
contend. but in the closed shop the en-
ployer will listen to the demands OF his
employees
For thirty five years | have been
identified with the building trade In
this city and for twenty-five years as
an employer do not believe that the
open shop means anything. for in my
experience | have found it impossible
TO harmonic nonunion and union men
working together"
