CHALLENGES ORGANIZED LABOR

A committee of the Painters
Union aad also the Co operative
Trades and Labor Council called
upon Mr.. Horace Baldwin who Is
at the present time painting the
John Kerbel shoe store on Henry
street, and urged him to sign the
contract of the Painters and also
have his men join the union. Mr..
Baldwin informed the committee
that he will have nothing to do
with organized labor, that ii means
money to him to be on the outside.
! Baldwin invited and challenged
the Painters and the Central body
for fight and laid great stress on
the fact that he bad more money
than all the unions combined to do
the fighting. We don't know
about him having SO much money
TO do the fighting because Kerbel
says Baldwin owes him for shoes
and that is the reason he gave him
the job, he wanted to get his
money. When t h e committee
asked Baldwin if they could talk
to his men he had no objections
and went in the building, but i'm
medi3tely came out and said they
refused to be interviewed. Whether
Baldwin told them not to come out
and talk to the committee is not
known, but the committee is under
the impression that Baldwin told
them not to have anything to do
with them. Alright Baldwin we
accept your challenge in good faith
and will do all in orr power to ac
commodate you.
