answer TO LABOR
UNIONS letter
Employers Association To
Maintain open" Shop
For Members
so Mr.. GARRETS0N
SAYS IN STATEMENT

c. d. Garretson, president Of the
recently organized Employers Asso-
citation, when asked today il he had
any comment to make relative to the
letter addressed to him by the Cen
tral Labor Union. said:
q have only seen the published ac-
count Of the letter. The Central
Labor Union. instead Of taking action
to carry out its announced intention
of excluding non-union men from en-
ployment in Wilmington, now seems
to desire to enter into a verbal news
paper controversy with the Employ
ers' Association. The public will be
glad that the threatened tie-up in the
building industry over the closed shop
question has been replaced by such a
harmless amusement as word throw
ing.
The Central Labor Union is hard
pressed for grievances il its chief
complaint is that Il is not invited to
take part in the meetings Of the En-
ployers' Association. The insinua-
tion that the association is a secret
body with sinister purposes is, Of
course, ridiculous. All Of its activi-
ties and policies. its constitution, and
the names of its officers and COM
mittees have been published. It's lit
erature is free TO anyone interested
"The first and great interest Of
the employer is not to oppress labor
nrs Hnhf rrrtNana haaH g.. l.. Al.
Just and stable conditions in indus
try so that both capital and labor
shall have steady employment at fair
returns, without strife. hostility, or
bitterness. To encourage hostility
against employers. merely because
they are employers, is against the
best interest of both the workmen
and the employers. Unions are not
we'll advised by their leaders when
they take action intended to stir up
class hatred
"The Employers Association in
tends to maintain an open shop for
its members and an open door for
the city of Wilmington. Il hopes to
make Wilmington so desirable a place
industrially that new industries. rev
capital, and new workmen will be at
tracted. and will come through the
open door for permanent location
here.
I'm conclusion, II may be remember
ed that employers were not asked to
be present at the meeting of the Cen
troll Labor Union when it decided to
take action to exclude all non-union
men from employment in Wilmington.
although such a policy was of the
most vital concern to every employer
and had IL been carried out would
have had a most disastrous effect
upon the city's industrial develop
ment."
