classes of workers, whether union or
non-union. We unalterably oppose the
closed shop" which shuts the doors of
industry against the American working
man who is not member of labor or
ganization.
1t is un-American to interfere with the
personal rights and constitutional liber-
ties of the individual. Therefore, we
shall oppose the use of force or intimi-
dation by any one endeavoring to per-
suade workmen either to join or to re-
sign from a labor organization.
We hold that both the employee and
the employer are privileged to terminate
their relations whenever either chooses
to do so, unless, of course, there be con-
tracts between them.

We do not countenance limitation of
the amount of work which may be ac-
complished in given time, or the man.
ner in which payment shall be made for
such work, whether by hourly rate,
piece work, contract or otherwise. We
believe that every workman should have
an opportunity to earn a wage proper
tionate to his ability and productive ca
pacity.

By encouraging fair dealings and
broadminded policies, we hope, with the
cooperation Of Seattle's thinking public,
to bring about working conditions and
wages which will make Seattle known
as a good city in which to work, to live,
and to raise children.
