>called the 'closed shop by employers,
is the only open shop in industry,
for the union is open. wide open, to
every honest and upright working
man.
Union Shop Not Issue.
But the union shop is not the issue
just now, any more than living
ing and the right of workingmen to be
fore the public in connection with this
matter is that Of collective bargain-
ing and the right on workmen to be-
long to union. The union shop
and a wage agreement are CON-
tractual matters. The Duluth Show
Case company has an undisputed
right to say whether or not it shall
conduct a so-called open shop, but
it has no right to discharge men who
have the timidity to request a con-
ference for the purpose of presenting
their claims for living wage and a
union shop. This is the wrong it
committed and Mr.. Ostrom very ad-
roitly lodged the issue and the facts
in controversy when he made his
misleading statement to the public
The first paragraph of his state-
ment contains an error. It reads:
ION April II, the Duluth Show Case
company received a letter demanding
the following conditions" The letter
from the union contained no "de-
mands." It:merely invited confer-
ence with all employers for the pur-
pose of discussing the demands"
Our Kiaser-like friend didn't wait for
a demand" Upon receipt of the
letter he became so enraged that he
summarily dismissed from his serv-
ice the only one of his employees
whose name appeared ON the letter
from the union. and when he dis
missed this employe he emphazied
the fact that the 4employe was dis
chargsd because: he was an "agitator."
That is all there is to it.
Ostrom Changes His Mind.
Mr.. Ostrom evidently changed his
mind about the reason for discharg-
ing this man since he has found out
what. hornets, nest he has stirred
up in this community at a time when
everything looked SO rosy for sea-
son of industrial peace and prosperity.
Now he has new reason and he
brazenly publishes it to the world
that this soldier employe tarried on
job and returned with the ''smell
of liquor on his breath" Will busi-
ness men be fooled by such an ex-
cuse in the face of the testimony
given by all the other employees who
were called in and, notified if they
did not tear up their union cards they
could leave their jobs. -
+ And since these men were locked
out they have been denied employ
ment by other concerns in town that
want good men. and sympathizing

Robert Byron of Springfield, ill.,
general organizer for the Sheet Metal
Workers International union, came to
Superior Tuesday. He held a confer
ence with the employers during the
afternoon and Wednesday morning
succeeded in bringing abou: salts
factory settlement.
Bricklayers Win Out.
The Bricklayers' union won the new
wage scale of 81 an hour without a
struggle. All Of the employing plast-
erers granted the union, members
their full demand ;ofs 96 ce erits> an
hour early in the week. The lathers
have been promised a proportionate
increase on piece work and 80 cents
an hour for day work. They have
been getting IS cents an hour for
such work.
The employing electrical workers
'ASvere the first to break away from the
Builders and Traders exchange. They
held a conference with the union and
a compromise was affected inde-
pendent of the exchange The men
were getting 70 cents an hour. They
asked for STU cents, and compro-
missed on 80 cents.
This leaves the cases of the plumb
ers and painters still unsettled. Frank
Kennedy, general organizer for the
United Association of Journeymen
Plumbers, Gas and Steamfitters,
whose home is in Chicago. arrived in
Superior Tuesday from GAINESVILLE,
Wis. He held a conference with the
master plumbers Wednesday. but no
definite understanding was reached.
Plumbers Are All Out.
The plumbers have been getting
S7H2 cents an hour. They ask 81
an hour. The master plumbers have
offered 80 cents. The union expects
the masters to make further conces-
sions. All of the men are out, but
a settlement with the master plumbers
Is momentarily expected.
The painters were getting 70 cents
an hour. Early in April they went
out for 80 cents. The master paint
ers have refused to make any conccs-
slons, but real estate men and others
have been keeping all the union men
rtmployed at 90 cents. Yesterday the
master painters offered 80 cents. but
the men do not feel inclined to quit
Jobs paying them 80 cents for Jobs
that will pay them but 80 cents
AS all union painters are working

INTERESTS OF LABOR
FULLY SAFEGUARDED,
DECLARES MR., vii SON

President Wilson has publicly de-
clared that "the labor program
Which the Peace Congress haa
adopted as part of the treaty of
peace constitutes one of the most
important achievements of the new
day IN which the interests of Labor
are to be Systematically and INTEL
ngently safesuardcd and promoted.
This great step forward is apt to
be overlooked amidst the multi
tude OF other things considered,
and yet nothing has been done that
will help more to stabilize world
