WORK AMERICAN
PLAN. IN IDAHO
Employers Association Starts
Open Shop Fight, But Closes
Plants to Union Men,

The fight to crush the power and
influence Of union labor has extend
ed into Idaho. The attack comes
Is the same old "open shop subter-
fuge, with the shops of the union
haters closed to union labor. A. COM
munication on the: subject was read
by acting reading Clerk, H. r.. Think
ham, at the meeting Of the Federat-
ed Trades assembly last Friday eve
ming.
The assembly voted to request The
Labor. World to publish the COM
munication which is sent out by the
Idaho State Federation Of Labor
and Endorsed by every city, central
labor union in the state. It reads as
follows:
This is to inform your organiza-
ton that the industrial despots, hat
ers of. labor. who would destroy
unionism, sponsors for the mis-nam-
ed American Plan," have recently
begun: their activities In Idaho and
in several Of our towns and cities
where trades unionism has been ef-
fective, have declared for an. open
shop policy. The ,"open shop de-
claration is a. subterfuge. The OBJ
ject is to crush labor. To combat
this menace, unionists. Of Idaho are
appealing, for assistance.
I'VE are not asking for financial
aid. What: we are asking. is that
fellow craftsmen from: other states
| remain away from idaho until we
win the fight. We can win-we are
winning now-but to wage the fight
to a. successful conclusion, we must
tawart the attempt of employers as
soc1ations to flood the state with
men throuh misleading advertise
ments as to labor conditions here.
Our state is small in population
score or more Of men brought into
score or ore of men brought into
every town would flood the state
with unemployed men unless they
choose to work under conditions
laid down by the open shop advo-
Gates. To prevent this flood of men
whom. the employers associations
will doubtless endeavor to persuade
here, we are asking all craftsen to
investigate conditions before coming
to any section Of Idaho"

" UNIONS REJECT
DIRECT ACTION
Trade Union Congress Makes
Definite Decision Revolution
ary Policies Denounced.

Word. comes from London that
the British Trade Union congress at
last Thursdays session rejected the
direct action" proposal of the Min
ers' federation by a vote Of $4,000
to 100000. Not more than one or
two small groups supported the min
ers. The engineers, textile workers,
railwaymen and general workers
were overwhelmingly hostile.
Frank Hodges, secretary Of the
Miners federation, moved the adop-
ton Of the "direct action resolution
in a speech which obviously reveal
ed him as a man supporting g. cause
which he knew was hopelessly lost.
Tom Mann, secretary of the Engi-
neers' union, who advocated a
strike, made a wild and declamatory
speech which the delegates treated
as a burlesque. The general feeling
in the conference was that rejection
was so certain little time was wasted
In debate.
Nevertheless the advocates of po-
! litical action took nothing for grant,
| ed. J. H. Thomas, J. r. Clynes and
Tom Shaw spoke with powerful con-
viction against the subversive and
revolutionary policies which would
range all other classes in Britain
against divided and discredited
labor party. The discussion gener-
ally was on a. high plane. The &C.
ton of the conference, it is believed
will repair the damage that wa:
done the labor party in the recent
by-elections by the threat OF ''direct
action"
Mr.. Hodge of the. Miners Fedora:
ton commanded considerable atten'
ton when he reproached the othel
unions for devoting all their ener'
gies to raise wages and for ignoring
the fundamental problems underly.

blamed the government for forcing
the miners to take up direct. &C.

House Orders Investigation OF
Attorney: Generals Conduct
In Sugar Conspiracy.

WASHINGTON, March Is. - The
house Of representatives has ordered
an INVESTIGATION of Attorney General
Palmer's admitted concurrence in
the fixing of high prices for Louis
lana sugar. The chairman Of the rules
committee, who reported out the re-
solution, is quoted in local news
paper as privately declaring that the
judiciary committee might. impeach
the. attorney general.
Mr.. Palmer's friends charge that
he is the victim Of politics. It is re-
grettable that this patriot, whose in
junction stopped those awful coal
miners from running the country last
November, should now be the target
for men who cheered him when he
saved the natioi."

.BLEAT|NG TOM BLANTON
IS JOKE OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Blan-
ton of Texas is joke in the house Of
representatives. He maintains the
spotlight when only one objection by
member of the house is necessary
to defeat wage increase that is at,
tached as a rider to an appropria-
ton bill. Blanton's other 'long suit''
is to talk on everything and object
to everything that means an expendi-
ture Of money.
Last week one of his colleagues
stated on the floor Of the house that
I'VE ought not to criticize the gentle
man from Texas for complaining
about a rule which for four hours
did not permit him to make a
speech"
The house cheered this statement
and Blanton subsided-for the mo-
ment.
