of the rents they must pay.
Closed Shop With Vengeance.
Talk about the closed shop; we have
it here with vengeance. And the
closed shop they have forced upon the
people has likewise closed the door
Of opportunity for thousands of our
people. There is no closed shop like
that of landlordism. Just look about
us and it will be found that through
such organizations as building man
ayers associations and real estate ex-
changes closed shop land policies
sometimes called land monopolies
have been established. and acres upon

other reason than that workingme en-

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1914-04-18

The business interests of Duluth
have been appealed to by four or
five firms of master painters, under
the name of the Master Painters as
sociation. to come to their assistance
In opposing the efforts Of the Paint
ers' union to restore the union shop in
that trade in Duluth.
One or two organizations have open
ly responded. Others may have done
so, but we have not heard about it. It
is not likely that the Commercial
club will again permit itself to be used
in a war against union labor. 1t only
lately recovered from the setback it
experienced. when it butted into the
fight Of 1907.
1t was to be expected that the labor
committee of the Builders Exchange
would support the four or five firms
OF master painters who are still light
ing tie union: = TIE strange t11t1s
about the Builders Exchange is that
most of it's members are not employ
ers of building tradesmen. The i'm
portant factors in the exchange are
the material men, mill men and own
ers of iron works., who employ nc
building tradesmen.
Master Builders In Minority.
The master builders are said to be
in the minority. 1t was only recently
that a number of contractors got to-
gether with a view OF withdrawing
from the Builders Exchange and or
ganizing Independently as a General
Building Contractors association. In
deed, it is believed the return of E. r
Cobb as secretary of the Builders
Exchange, after he was requested to
resign recently, was brought about for
the purpose of keeping the general
contractors, the actual employers OF
building tradesmen. in the Builders
Exchange.
The first anti-labor organization to
protrude it's head from the vale of the
1907 lockout was the Duluth Building
Managers and Owners association. In
resolutions couched in "holier than
thou" language this association de.
clared for the "open shop" and
pledged its support to the Maste,
Painters association to crush the
Painters union.
