 The Debating club of the university
 held a most enthusiastic meeting
 Wednesday night in the auditorium. A
 debate on the close shop, the main fea-
 ture of the student program was pre-
 ceded by a review of the Japanese
 situation in California by Elizabeth
 Bayne and a most interesting talk by
 T. J. Kelly of the vocational training
 department on certain humorous
 situations. Al Conrad, secretary of
 the open shop committee in Tucson,
 who graduated from the university
 several years ago and was president
 of the student body during his senior
 year. addressed the club on what the
 open shop has done for Tucson. He
 said fin part:
 "The open shop is the foundation of
 Americanism. The closed shop is the keynote in the arch of unionism. As . men of the open shop, we do not mean
 to say that we do not believe in or-
 ganization for bettering the conditions of the laboring man, but that the con- stitutional right of every country , guarantees the right of every man to i work where he pleases and for whom l he pleases. When it is necessary to , cohere a man to an organization and | to close out all those do do not be-
 lieve in the organization. and to keep
 from him his privilege of making a , living. we claim 1t Is un-American." We maintain that man has the 2. privilege to come into any city and ply s his trade on the basis of competition The government census shows there }, are 106.0o0.000 people in the United n States. Four million of these art II unionized. Less than half of the work {, CTS in this country are organized. This 't per cent wishes to tell the other pei IT cent what they must do. They attemp r to domineer not only the working clasl y but all the other people who live il "a these United States. The report of tn lI department of labor during the fisca q year ending June 1920, shows that tn,
 strikes during this year amount t, 'e s175,000,o00 in loss of labor. Talxini IS the total population, the loss amount 't to SIT per person cost in strikes. Plao IT ing that on the working man, it ha ' cost him s86 With this he could hay IS bought insurance which would hay 'e been of much more value to him. le Most difficulties can be settled b.
 arbitration. Contracts drawn up b v the closed shop mean nothing, Here fl 70 Tucson one of the contractors ha ss signed an agreement to pay his men TO certain salary for the year. No soone had the contract been signed than the q, set certain conditions on him whic 'n they did not have in the agreemen le When he refused to grant them all tn 10 men were taken off and the buildin
 was as a standstill. This reflects O .o the workers as well as the geners ls public
 "The open shop association main lu tains that a man should have a fai 7i days pay for a fair day's work He deserving of position and should b " paid in accordance with his ability { !, - do the work. The card system used the closed shop does not grade me- ne A man can come on the job as a cal "A penter with card and you must pa -. him the same pay as a skilled worlye u 'In closing would like to say th; g1 believe the open shop is a means '. an end of maintaining this country ( - the constitutional right that a man h: oT the right to work for whom he pleas = and where he pleases."
