BY Frank Morrison


Secretary Of American Federation Of
Labor
The union shop is democracy in in
dustry. The right Of employees to bar
gain collectively, 10 have voice in
working conditions, is recognized.
In the non-union shop this democ-
racy is unknown. Paternalism ani
autocracy is the rule The employer
is absolute He is the sole Judge Of
working conditions. He sets hours and
wages, and tells his employees they
may accept same or quit their en-
ployment If the worker quits, and
suffering to his wife and children re-
suit, the employer calls this freedom
of contract"
This employer dislikes the term
"non-union" shop, 50 he refers to his
plant as open" shop The term is
misleading and is intended to deceive.
The inconsistency of the so-called
"open" shop employer is shown when
he says he makes no distinction be-
tween union and non-union employees
and then fills his plant with spies to
report any union employe who has
been discovered discussing the value
of trade unionism.
These employers know that in this
age of organization it is unwise to
announce that they are opposed to
trade unions So they employ just
enough trade unionists to serve as an
alibi against the charge that they op-
pose trade unions, but they do not
employ enough trade unonists to dis
pute the employers absolute and
complete control over working condi-
tions. If these organized workers ad-
vocate trade unionism they are dis
charged.
The so-called "open" shop employer
would not approve q citizen shirking
his duties as taxpayer, but does
favor his employees Sinking their du
ties to their fellows. The season for
the latter position is apparent. The
employer profits by this Sinking,
which permits him to set wages, hours
and working conditions. But more
than this he retains complete power
over his employees.
He may arrange welfare societies in
his plant. He may have pension
system for those employees who serve
him faithfully, and who just as faith
fully abstain from trade union mem
bership. He may conduct a system of
athletics and recreation for his EN-

are denied an equality enjoyed by
union shop employees.
Non-union shop employees accept
the welfare work Of an employer, but
they do it at the price Of their liberty
Their grievances are subject to the
good viii of the employer He may
remedy them, but he does it because
he is "a good boss" and not because
his employees stand up as men and
demand justice.
If the grievance is not adjusted the
employe must accept onerous condi-
tions or quit. If an individual quits,
that is nothing to the employer
Fundamentally there is no differ
ence between the non-union shop em-
ployer and the slave owner before the
civil war. In both cases the employer
and the slave owner are absolute
Both provided amusements for their
workers. The slave owner prided him
self on being "a good MASTER The
non-union employer says: i protect
my employees" +"
In neither case was the slave or is
the employe permitted to protect
themselves.
In the union shop this autocratie
rule does not exist. Here, the EN-
ployes have a collective voice in work
ing conditions. The employer comedies
that democracy in industry is possible
and that welfare work is not sub
stitute for democracy. The union EN-
ployer is not interested in welfare
work or in protecting" his employees.
He treats them as Americans who can
furnish thelr own amuSements ana re-
creations. Company doctors, COM
pany nurses, etc, are unknown among
union employers.
The non-union shop employer ig-
nores these fundamentals. He would
conceal his slave theory his master
ship over his employees and their work
ing conditions by talking about the
so-called "open" shop, the glory Of in
dependence, and "the tyranny of the
unions" while he himself denies in
dependence and proves that tyranny
can exist, though he attempts to CON
ceal it with a velvet glove.
