Non-Union Men Free
 to Labor Mormon States

Salt Lake City, April 4.-Ihe nineteenth annual three-day con- ference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (MOr- mons) opened here today with many thousands of people present from all parts of the world.
 President Heber J. Grant of the church reaffirmed his stand against union labor organizations in the use of the boycott against firms and individuals who do not adhere to their teachings. This stand was first taken by PreslL dent at the general conference held last October. He asserted that he did not wish to declare the principle of unionism wrong, but that It was his belief a man should be free to labor whether a union member or not and that there should be no discrimination against workers who do not wish to ally themselves with a trades union.
 Other routine today had to do with church matters, such as funds for new buildings and a discussion of Mormonism teach ings.
 Never before in church history have so many people attended a general conference, officials as- Sert. Sessions are being held at the famous tabernacle which has a capacity of approximately 10,- 600 and officials declare twice that number are in attendance. {
