MANU- ACTURERS
FORMALLY BEGIN
''OPEN SHOP" DRIVE
Individual Workers Contracts
With Pledges Against
Unionization Outlined.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-The first open
concerted action by great employers
Of the country in favor of the open
shop" movement was launched here
to-day at the meeting of industrial
leaders called by the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association. A plan to
open the industries OF the country to
all workers, regardless Of afflllation
with trade unions, was outlined in
detail in preparation for the cam
paign.
Andrew J. Allen, Secretary Of the
Associated Employers Of Indianapo-
lis, leader in the movement and one
of the foremost advocates Of the
open shop" outlined the purposes Of
the fight in an interview to-day.
''The closed shop trade unions rep
resent only 10 per cent. of the work.
ers Of the country. engaged in gain
full occupation" declared Allen.
There are 40 100000 workers and
there are only 100000 organized
workers. And about 40 per cent Of
these are members of the union be-
cause Of expediency.
THE open shop has now gained
such wide approval that the closed
shop soon will be a thing of the past
1.-THE open shop is not a movement
directed against trade unionism. It
is directed solely against the closed
shop demanded by the unions. The
compulsory conditions as fOstered
by the closed shop will soon cease to
exist"
Allen recommended a plan OF in
dividual contracts between the EN-
ployer and the employee. Each wor-
ker under this plan, before taking
a job, would sign a contract in which
he agrees to refrain from any effort
to unionize the shop, to have no deal
ings, directly or indirectly with trade
union officers relative to shop affairs,
not to interfere in any way with his
fellow workers, TO give loyal support
to his employer and not to engage
In, or in any way to participate in
a strike or lockout.
In discussing the immigration prob
lem, w, s. Bennett of tho Hines
Lumber Company of Chicago, OPP
posed any restriction of immigra ton
but advocated a better distribution
Of the foreign workers whereby agri-
cultural interests would be more
largely benefited.

CONGRESS MOVES
FOR EARLY INQUIRY
INTOBALLOON TRIP

WASHINGTON. Jan. IA search
ing investigation into the balloon
flight made by Lieuts. Kloor. Farrell
and Hinton seems likely now. Mem
berS have already evlnced an interest
that will probably lead to early action.
The first nave was made by Senator
King Of Utah, who wrote to Secretary
Daniels asking for information which
may be made the basis Of an inquiry
He expects reply to-day and viii
at once ask for a Congressional i'll
uuiry.
Meantime preparations arc being
made by the Navy Department for
special court OF inquiry, which Is eK-
pected to forestall the Senatorial iu-
uuiry. Whether II will do this or LOT
IL something that will have to be de-
termlned by the Senate itself.
There Is a constantly growing GU
riosity concerning all free balloon
flights. The explanation generally Uf-
fered for sending up men under orders
OF the Navy Department In free bal
looms Is that they go to obtain scisn-
tic information concerning air chr
rents and atmospheric conditions. NJ
explanation by the Navy Department
indicates that even the most meagre
preliminary precautions were taken to
determine air conditions before tho

GRAFTERS IN BAIL
REAP HARVEST IN
OF LUCKLESS
AS High as 20 Per Cent. Ex-
acted for Furnishing Bonds
in Some Criminal Cases.

Assistant District Attorney Nc
ouaid, who is conducting before
Magistrate Simpson an investigation
into the charges exacted by pro-
fessional bohdsmen from persons
charged with crimes, stated he had
learned to-day that of 159 girls,
women and men who appeared in
Special Sessions for alleged shoplift-
ing, 81 had been bailed out after
their arrest by professional bonds
men, who charged them from IL to
20 per cent. of the face Of their bond.
Justices Kernochan, Herman and
Voorhees,, presiding at Special Ses-
sons, were so impressed by the state
ments OF a number OF defendants
that they had been taxed heavily for
the issuance Of bail bonds that MT.
McQuAid was hurriedly sent for. He
FASTENED to the court, accompanied by
a corps OF assistants. and Intercepted
the alleged shoplifters. These lat
ter had been arrested in vlrious
stores by detectives Of the Stores MI
tual Protective Association during
the holiday shopping season.
Mr.. McQuaid said his questioning
Of the alleged shoplifters showed that
bail in the eighty-one cases had been
furnished as follows
Harry Katz, As bonds totalling $12,-
400; Jesse Jacobs, IA bonds, $500; l.
Jacobs bond, $500: Samuel Felix.
II bonds. $500; Bertha Felix. bond,
5000.
an addition to the exaction Of from
~ to 20 per cent" said Mr.. McQuaid,
the defendants were required to in
demnify the bOndsmen, in most cases
by depositing their savings bank
books"
Morris NJ. Becher, lawyer, OF No.
S0s Broadway. New York agent for
the Fidelity & Deposit Company OF
Maryland, informed Magistrate Simp-
son that his company does a business
here involving the writing of. ST.
100000 bail bonds yearly for per-
sons charged with crimes. Up TO
the past two or three years, he de-
clared, no reproach could be cast
upon surety company methods, but
recently a number of Questionable
practices have crept in.
"a surety company" he said,
(which is a corporate body with GER
tain powers, should not delegate
those powers to irresponsible indi-
viduals. But there are cases, am
told, where surety companies have
given these very important powers
to the so-called professional bonds
man who has sprung up during the
last few years. Some OF these agents
are men who are iuiteTate, ignorant
and not in any sense responsible or
reliable. Agents should be men Of
good standing"
Admission that he charged defend
ants "as much as he could get" wa
made by Louis Kassman, who runs
a cafe at No. 1873 Norfolk Street,
