She said the Library was built
with view of pleasing artistic and

LABOR NOTES

The open shop" war being con-
Quoted against the trades union
movement of Seattle, is still in eff
feet. The representatives of the
Associated Industries have refused
to meet, for any purpose, the in
dustrial committee selected by the
General Labor Movement of the city.
However, the most hopeful encour-
agement to date is the extreme to
which the Associated Industries is
carrying their campaign. A con-
siderable number of real American
employers have already determined
that a halt should be called, and
have declared that they are not
ready to spend their money, or in
jure the community, by being a
party to the extreme campaign of
union smashing that the Associated
Industries evidently has launched.
The Trades Unionists are hold
ing their ground firmly and it is
only a matter of time until the As
sociated Industries will go the road
of every other similar organization
that has preceded it.
