OPEN SHOP CONDEMNED
BY BIG n. y. MANUFACTURER

New York, April 14.-Denial that the
open shop movement was in any sense a
conspiracy of employers" was made to-
day by George w. Sisson, president of
the American Pulp and Paper Associa-
ton, in addressing the convention Of
that organization
Il believe" he said, that the rapid
spread and spontaneous support of the
open shop movement is but a natural
reaction to the extremes of conduct and
assertion, local and national. of closed
shop unionists.
"A labor policy that is economically
unsound cannot long endure, for ii can
only result in disaster TO the industry
which attempts to maintain it. The
final test of a labor policy is its sue
cess in bringing about a higher degree
OF individual development in the work
or and more general contentment in
industry"
