 MANN DECLARES
HIS WILL LEE AN :. Local Contractor, Who For merly Employed Union

Herbert J. Mann. head of the Her
 bert Mann Building company, an-
 nounced last night that all building | operations of his firm would hence shop plan. This company is now con- structing the R. D. Roper building on North Central avenue; the Rhuart building at Seventh and Washington streets, and a large number of resi- dences about the city.
 Heretofore Mir. Mann had employed only union mechanics in the various crats.
 crafts
 Recently an "open shop electrician
 was employed on the Roper building, and all of MT. Mannis carpenters | walked out-not only on the Roper building. but on other buildings under construction by the Mann company l Mir. Mann made repeated efforts to have his men work on his various jobs regardless of the sub-contractors, but each time they refused. He now announces that on next Thursday morning he will abandon the practice of hiring only union men in all crafts and hereafter will employ competent mechanics who apply for work. regard | less of their affiliations with labor organizations.
 In an interview Mir. Mann said that he formerly had been thoroughly in favor of employing only union work men, because ne Ildd lOullu lIleIu dSTte- able and competent. and, too, because he favored the method of hiring all his men through one source, namely the local unions of the various crafts, but that since such measures had failed to receive the cooperation of the men, he must take such means as would protect him in carrying out his contracts.
 It is not anticipated that there will be any great difficulty in securing com potent men, inasmuch as there are large numbers of competent mechanics who are willing to work under open shop conditions and, as a matter of fact, a large number of union men themselves are antagOniStIc to sne Building Trades Council card which is, and has been, the only bone of con- tetnion between the citizens and the council
Arizona republican., 1920-04-07

Here is a statement by MT. Mann:
 Tn order that there may be no further misunderstanding of our posi- tion in the so-called open shop contro- versy; we desire to make the follow ing statement:
 we have at all times been opposed to the introduction of the building trades card here in Phoenix How ever, in spite of severe criticism and strong pressure brought to bear against us, we have been employing princi- pal1y union men on our work, first, because it has been our experience that the best mechanics are found in the unions and, second, because we had hoped, through the union men em- ployed by us, to persuade the various crafts to abandon the universal card, and organize only within their own crafts.
 Last week the unions walked out on all of our jobs, some of which are 100 per cent union, because one of our customers preferred to have non- union electrician do his wiring.
 Regardless of the question of right or wrong involved, this incident shows the impracticability of operating un- der the universal building trades card in Phoenix It is manifestly impos- Sible for us, as general contractors, to sub b-contractors only, even if we should desire to do so. The owner certainly has a right to express a preference in this matter, and if he desires to have any of his work done by union sub-contractors we intend to see that his wishes are carried out.
 "As the Building Trades Council has refused to permit the union men em ployed by us to return to work unless every Sub- contractor employed on each of our jobs is a union man, it is our intention Thursday morning to aban don our policy of employing union only in any one craft, and we will, there fore, employ any competent mechanic who applies for work regardless of his affiliations with any labor organiza- tiOn."

How ever in spite of severe criticism and strong pres sure brought to bear against us, we have been employing principally union men our work, first becausei it has been experience that the best mechanics are found in the unions and, sec- ond because we had hoped, through the union men employed by us, to persuade the various crafts to abandon the universal card
 Last week the unions walked out on all of OUT jobs, some of which are 100ao union, because one of our customers preferred to have non-unon electrician do his wiring.
