LABOR PLANS TO MEET
BIG OPEN SHOP DRIVE
Convention of Employers Is
Said to Be Arranged.

Employers throughout the country
are being sounded out regarding their
attitude toward the open shop by means
of a QUESTIONABLE Issued by the Asso-
ciated Employers of indianapolis. ae-
cording to an announcement circulated
among labor unions in New York yes
terday. The circular. which is dated
October %, gives a partial list of or
CARNATIONS in various parts of the coun-
try which are interested in promoting
the open shop plan. and suggests the
sending of delegates to national con-
vention for the purpose of forming a
national open shop federation.
Ernest Bohm, CORE spending secretary
of the Central Federated Union, said that
in accordance with Instructions from
that body he had sent resolutions to the
American Federation of Labor in Wash
ington asking the executive council to
draw up plans for a big fund with which
% oppose the drive for the open shop.

boycott against that paper. The Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associat ton
decided TO oppose any attempt by labor
org nizations to dictate to them the
conduct OF their business and this senti-
ment has spread until 1t has become a
religion rather than principle with US.
1t can safely be said that at least IS
per cent. OF our industry is conducted
on the open shop principle and that no
agreements are signed with unions. but
that union and non-union men are em-
ployed and are working satisfactorily
side by side.
