Heavy hitting marked most OF the
major league games. Chilly weather
in most OF the parks did not help TO
uncover the best pitching. In seven
games iis hits were made for an aver
age OF close 10 81 swais per game.
The Cleveland Indians led with i3 and
the Detroit Tigers got only four. the
least OF the day.
In two Instances the lowly rose up
and smote the alleged mighty. The
Braves, with advance rights TO the cell
lar conceded 10 them, made the highly
tOuied Giants look bad and the Ruthful
Yankees were dropped by Athletics.
incidentally Connie Mack seems to
have served notice on otner pilots that
there is a place lower than seventh
for Them to finish.
Maybe the Reds did cut up down in
Miami and make Pat Moran grayer, but
they are resetiled now, apparently.
Grover Alexander couldn't find anything
wrong with their batting eyes and
Walter Reuther didn't appear TO be in
such terrible shape"
The White Sox. too, were an eye
opener. Claude Williams started at his
old trick OF winning an eleven-lnning
game. Gleason's bunch all acted nat
urally even down 10 Swede Risberg,
the restaurant king, who made an er-
ror.
The Brooklyn Robins showed the
well-balanced promising club that VIII

and The Cleveland Indians hoped on
according to the dope.

mittees representing both parties %
the agreement, and the most crafty
ing feature Of the conference was the
harmonious spirit that prevailed Our
members obtained by means of the
conference the signing Of their new
agreement which provided for salts
factory increase in wages as well as
reduction in the number of working
hours. The employers met with our
people as men to men, and such few
changes as were made in the original
agreement presented were at the re-
quest of the employers with the un-
derstaning that further reductions IN
the working hours would be granted
year hence provided it was found
possible to do so without injury to
business.
At the close Of that conference it
was indeed pleasure to see the en-
ployers grasp the hands of the en-
ploves from other establishments as
well as their own and to hear them say
~Well, boys, we will be ready to fight
it out with you again next year Just
as we have in years gone by and IN
the same friendly spirit.
These same friendly relations nieht
exits between the employers AID the
employees in the mercantile establish
ments throughout the country today
as we'll as the echo Of the declaration
Of the chairman Of the employers
committee who said, I'VE are all
pleased because we figure that we
have the most efficient and faithful
employees to be found IN any part OF
the United States"
No. this is not a fairy tale, but an
actual occurrence during the last few
weeks and one which might be duph-
Gated at any point and at any time
without any sacrifice Of dignity on the
part Of the employers. A trade union
agreement is a protection to both em-
plovers and employees 1t makes bet
ter salespeople, which is one Of the
most emportant factors in building q
larger and better business institution.
The employers who loudly proclaim
in favor of the "open shop are those
who are too blind and preiudiced TO
see that contract relations with their
wage earners provide the very best
means Of promoting their owr sue
cess, which is bound to be vitaily af-
fected by the satisfaction or dissatis-
faction Of the employees.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-05-14
The TRADE UNION
AGREEMENT OR
THE OPEN SHOP
Which Is 1t To Be?

A certain class of employers have
conceived in their minds a new scheme
which embodies a time-worn plan cas-
! lily recognized under whatever guise il
may be resurrected, namely the de-
claration for the "open shop" which
is a negative phrase meaning in its
final analysis an institution closed to
organized labor.
These employers have declared that
! they will refuse to enter into contract
relations with their employees through
the means Of a collective bargaining
agreement, and are raising the cry for
what they are pleased to term an "All-
American Shop" qualifying the ex-
preston in some instances with the
information that union and nonunion
people will be employed
This class of employers are long on
proelaiming their patriotism ami
Americanism, but seem to have no
conception of the proper interpreta-
ton of justice as applied to their re.
lationship with their employees, ac-
cording to themselves the right of or
ganization to the wage earners, but
.reserying that privilege for them
selves, for the employers have one of
the most iron-clad unions in existence.
How can they wonder at the revolt
of the employees against what is term
ed the "gentleman's agreement, {"
knowing that hidden behind it lies the
blacklist ?"
How do they expect TO obtain real
efficiency in their institutions or to
encourage the true spirit of American
marhood and womanhood when they
seek to deprive their employees the
right to exercise their American liber-
ties?
BY what possible authority do they
seek to prevent the organization of
the wage earners for the mutual pro
lection Of those working conditions
affecting their everyday lives
Satisfactory relations between en-
ployers and employees can best be
maintained through the trade union
agreement which tends to encourage
efficiency, this in turn bringing i'm
creased dividends to the institution.
1t was recently the privilege Of the
writer to attend a conference between
the employers and the membership Of
one of our large locals, through COM

all the items which go into the cost
of a $14.0o pair of shoes Here are
some of the things this chart disclos
ed: In 1905 the labor cost on pair
of shoes was 60 Is cents Fourteen
years later, in 1919, the labor cost was
$1.02. In other words, in fourteen
years labor secured an increase of 40
cents in the production of pair of
shoes. In 1905 the total cost of the
shoes at the plant was $2385 per
pair. In 1919 the cost was $8.O26.
OF this increase of $5.642 labor got
only 10 cents. The leather trust IN
creased its tribute from $1408 to
$6.108 This was the increase in cost
of upper stock, sole leather, heels,
welts, counters, lining, trimming, etc.
1t included royalty of half a cent
to the owners of the machines used in
the shoe industry On top of the
total cost of $8.o26, one dollar a pair
was added as profit to the manufaet-
urer. The shoes cost the retailer
$500 Then he added a gross profit
of $500 a pair, bringing the price tc
the consumer up to S1400 Turn this

GET TOGETHER

Get together, union men and wo-
men, get closer together The battle
for the open shop" is coming, sure as
shootm The open shop means the
CLOSED shop" to union men and wo-
men And this means longer hours
and shorter pay As an instance Of
what is being done toward the move
ment an advertisement appeared IN
the Middletown papers last week car
rying in large type the words: Amer
lean Plan Square Deal-Open Shop
The advertisement then goes on to de
nounee labor organizations, likening
them to socialistic and bolshevistic
associations at the same time extoll-
ing the beauty" Of the non-union
plan.
The advertisements is signed BY a
number Of firms, among whom APP
pears the name Of the Crystal Paper
Company, which recently locked ousits
employees for the crime Of holding a
meeting and discussing ways and
means Of improving their condition.
The advertisement itself places the
signers on record as beng opposed to
shorter working hours
The enemy is frankly coming right
out in the open, open and above
board, with his plan to crush union
labor. 1t therefore behooves organ
lied labor in Hamilton to wake up
to the danger that is confronting it.
Just recently man, the head Of one
Of our local papers, a man well known
for his bitter opposition to all organ
lied labor, took it upon himself to go
way down into Texas seeking to OBJ
tain information relative to the per
nieious system Of the open shop, with
the idea Of fostering the movement in
this city.
It is only question Of whether the
organized workers Of this city want
to have taken from them all that they
have fought for for more than twenty
five years, or get together and pre-
sent a solid front to the enemy when
the time arrives for the battle which
the Press predicts is not in the far
distant future.
So get together, fellow workers,
while the gettin is good, and be pre-
pared to meet the enemy when he ar
rives.

energy exerted in manipulating the
keys Of a typewriter in writing stories
for the kept press that the switehmen's

enough energy remaining to send that
