LARGE FUND
Being Raised By Cincinnati
Workers to Fight Open"
Shoppers

That Cincinnati organized labor has
awakened to the danger confronting
it in the "open shop" movement, is
shown by the results of conference
on last Sunday in the labor temple Of
that city of representatives of more
than 100 trades unions. At this con-
ference steps were taken to raise
funds to be used in fighting the move
ment which was recently inaugurated
by the manufacturers and contractors
of Cincinnati in an effort to "break"
the power of the trades unions of
that city.
A special committee of 25, named
recently by Adolph Hummer, presi-
dent of the Central Labor Council, to
devise ways and means of combating
the "open shop" movement, recon-
mended that funds be sought for the
purpose in view
1t is planned to raise a preliminary
fund of from $4,000 to $4,000. This
money is to be collected in the form
of assessments of 25 cents each from
the members of the different unions
in Cincinnati.
More than $1,000 of the initial fund
was raised at the meeting.
According to William Prout, secre-
tary of the trades union conference,
union leaders plan to show that non
union plants in Cincinnati are profit
eering.
The personnel Of the special com
mittee consists OF members of miscel-
laneous unions and nine Of the build
