Declares Chambers Plat
form on Open Shop Would
/, Kill Labor Unions.

With the sanction Of the executive
council Of the American Federation OF
Labor. President Samuel Gompers last
night issued a statement branding
the industrial platform Of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce in favor
of the open shop" policy as a cum
ming device calculated to create the
impression Of fairness, while WELD
/ ing the favorte weapons OF treacn-
cry" He also charged that "it Is cal
culated to Danish trade union organi-
zatiens- while creating the impression
of acquiescense in the actual desires
of the workers"
Cells Document aDfshonest.-
'aThe document is a dishonest docu-
ment," the statement announces 1T
contains g declaration in favor Of the
so-called open shop which in reality
is a closed shop against union men.
Contained in this report are twelve
planks. Plank II is as follow:
The right OF open shop operation.
that is. the right Of employer and en-
ploye to enter into and determine the
conditions Of employment relations
with each other, is an essential part
of the individual right Of contract
possessed by each Of the parties.
Challenge to Unionism.
This is direct challenge to the
trade union movement coming from the
heart Of Americas financial power. The
proposition set forth by the United
States Chamber of Commerce in this
plank involves no principle. On the con-
trary, it is merely a statement OF what
the chamber of commerce hopes the en-
ployers of the United States will do IL
they have the power to do it. The
spirit Of it comedies exactly with the
spirit Of the Jungle man who started out
TO kill. The effort to make IT appear
the individual right Of contract is so
far outworn and aged as to be pitiabie.
THE right Of an Individual to under
mine or destroy the standards OF living
and the Industrial safety OF his fellow
workers has been so long since exploded
as to be unworthy Of further discussion.
The individual has no such rights and
no enlightened society anywhere today
recognizes such a right.
Gompers Not Surprssed
THAT the chamber Of commerce has
gone outside Of its legitimate field in
launching this attack upon the trade
union movement is not surprising. be-
cause the membership Of the chamber
of commerce is overwhelmingly an en-
ploying membership, membership long
IN opposition to the trade union move
ment and q membership not above using
any instrument with which it thinks the
progress Of the trade union movement
may be impeded and its beneficial WORK
retarded"
