Johnny Bull shifted and shook his head
but he couldn't get that annoying little
twig away from his nose. IL teased
him and it tickled him, and finally
Johnny Bull couldn't stand 1t second
longer--he suddenly gave a whopping
big sneeze.
That sneeze caused lot Of trouble.
Johnny Bull, as he gave it, was jumping

CHURCHES COME
TO DEFENSE OF
UNION LABORER
Statement Criticizes open
Shop as Scheme to Wreck
Organizations.

NEW YORK. Dec 27.--The open
SHOP campaign in American industry
was criticized as an effort 20 destroy
the organized labor movement. In u
statement issued today by the Com
mission Of the Church and Social
Service Of the Federal Council of the
Churches OF Christ In America.
This council Is composed Of repre-
sentatlves OF 81 Protestant denomi-
nations having membership Of
about 19.500.000. The statement
follows:
The relations between employees
and workers throughout the United
States are seriously affected at this
moment by campaign which IS be-
ing conducted for the open shop
pOliCy-the so-called American plan
OF employment. These terms are
now being frequently used TO desig-
nate establishments that are defin-
uely anti-uuton. Obviously. q shop
Of this kind il not an open shop but
q closed shOp'-clOsed against mem
beers Of labor unions.
We feel impelled 10 call public
attention TO the fact that a very
widespread impression exists that
the present open shop campaign Is
inspired IN many quarters by this
dntdECnlSm 10 union labor. Many
distnterested persons are convinced
that an attempt is being made 70
destroy the organized labor move
ment. Any such attempt must be
viewed with apprehension by fair
minded people.
When, for example. an appli-
cant for work is compelled to sign
contract pledging himself against
utilization with "A union, or when
union man Is refused employment
or discharged. merely on the ground
or union membership. the employer
Is using COerCive methods and Is
violating the fundamental principle
OF an open shop. Such action is un-
fair and inimiCal 10 economic free
dom and 10 the interest OF society as
is corresponding coercion exercised
by labor bodies IN behalf OF the
closed shop.
1T seems incumbent, upon Christ
ian employers to Scrutinize carefully
any movement, however plausible.
