erers to work at all with union lahers and work
tied up by the strikes of these unions for three
months
In Pittsburgh last year the Hosting Engineers
Union and the Electrical Workers Union fought and
struck over which craft should run electric motor
generators. The Carpenters Union and the Sheet Metal
Workers Union fought and struck to who should set
metal rim.' The Sheet Metal Workers Union and the
Steam Filters Union fought and struck who should
install fans and air washers The Carpenters Union and
the Structural Iron Workers Union fought and struck
over the putting up of steel sashes and doors.
While these crafts fought and struck, other crafts
forced out of work by the paralysis of the building
industry and the Employer hands tied Work could
not be DONE Not because the not high enough
not because the employers not treating their
satisfactorily but because the unions could not agree
among themselves And having the "closed shop" the
unions had the power to make employers and public wait
while they struck and fought it out.
Frisco Seeks Freedom
San Francisco has been known for years as 'the
greatest closed shop town. in America Limitations of out
put and apprenticeshps went the limit there Industry
crippled Factories could not compete with those of
other ctes-not because wages much higher, but
because the "cosed shop restrictions kept workmen
from doing days work fora days pay
So seriously did these restrictions stiffle industry
that five years the number of factories dropped from
2250 to 1876; the number of wage earners slumped
26R per cent.
The climax last year. The Longshoresnen's
Union struck in violation of solemn contract made six
months before which had been approved and signed by
representative of the United States Department of
Labor The Secretary of Labor in President Wilson's
cabinet himself strong union labor man. sent strong
appeal in favor of keeping faith" that contract The
union refused and its members quit work.
"Permit" for Uncle Sam
There followed six weeks of assaults and other vio
ence The United States Treasury had to get a permit
from the union to haul property through the
public streets.
This was typical of what San Francisco had expert
enced for years. The limit had and San Francisco
rebeed against CLOSED shop lordsm. Law and Order
