On the face of it, it would seem
that the lockout declared by the OPP
ponents of good working conditions
would be nothing more than a thing
of paper. So it would if the banks
would keep out.
The banks are going to shut down
on the contractors who want to work
and who are willing to pay the wages

to be done, but it takes money to
carry a job along. The big bosses feel
cocksure they are going to beat the
unions because they feel confident
the banks will so heckel and restrict
the fair contractor that it will be al
most impossible for him to get any
money.
1t is not believed by many that La

in a little thing like a carpenters

this boycott is believed to be uni
fed attempt of contractors and bank
ing interests to crush unionism in
Chicago.
Rockefeller tried it in Colorado
with the torch and machine gun. The
astute Big Business men of the con-

know that money is more effective
