UNIONS FLOUT SOCIETY
Seek Exemption From Laws
and Contracts, but Demand
Them for Others.
By WALTER GORDON MERRITT,
General Attorney for the National
Industrial Council.

Under the institutions OF lib
erty, where each man decides
- for himself whether he will
Join a labor union, we have the ideal
of the open shop the open trade and
the open door. Where each man is
left free to decide matters for himself
1t may happen that all the men in a
factory may become union men or it
may happen that ALL the men in fac
tory will remain non-union men; but
still it is an open shop and an open
trade, for at any time the non-union
man may join the union without dis
turbing his job. and the union man
may drop the union without losing
his job.
The greatest enemies of the open
shop are those who masquerade under
that broad and tolerant slogan when,
in fact. they actively pursue an anti
union policy by discriminating against
union men. Hundreds of employers
are thus dragging the open shop
through the mire and are holding il
up TO distrust and suspicion before
the public. The real open shop will
never be in danger except in the hands
of this group, who preach what they
do not practice and create an atmos-
phere of dstrust for which all en-
ployers are held responsible.
Then there is the other side of the
picture. We have witnessed here how
the employer proposes 10 keep the
non-union men from contact with
union men. Let us see how the unions
propose to keep union men from con-
tact with non-union men. In 1920 we
discovered that every man connected
with the Longshoremen's or Team
sters' Union I'm New York city was or
dered not to work with non-union
men, not to receive merchandise from
non-union men, not to deliver mer-
chandise to non-union men and not
to handle or transfer merchandise
made by non-union men. We know
il has been a common incident in the
history of trade unionism 10 forbid
members purchasing goods which
were made by non-union men. and
in some cases union men are forbid
den 10 work on non-union buildings
or.to produce goods for non union men
to- work upon. The penalty for vio-
lating these rules may be heavy fine
or expulsion, and expulsion under the
closed shop system makes man an
outlaw in his trade.

from the Dominion. The late Sat

of the call to the British Dominion

pulpits at the Sunday services, and
discussed on the street cars and in
the clubs.
At the military institute tonight
there was unusual activity, as Of
ficers of various wars. many of them
still on the active militia list, as well
as regular force officers. gathered in
groups to talk over the situation.
There seemed to be no doubt that
the Dominion could provide a we'll
trained, composite force of veteran
troops, have them equipped and on
the way to the seat of war within a
few weeks.
At the main armories during the
day. there was already on hand quite
number of men waiting to offer
their services when required. They
were nearly all seasoned veterans
from the great war.
In some quarters it was suggest
ed that Canada's contribution might
take the form of a large and well
equipped air force which, it was
said. could be raised and despatched
on one weeks notice.

Kemalist Leader Insists
On Withdrawal Greek
Troops for Tchatalja

Constantinople, Sept. lily A. P)
The immediate withdrawal of the
Greek forces from the Tchatalja re-
gon in European Turkey has been in
sisted upon by Mustapha Renal
Pasha. the Turkish Nationalist leader,
in a conversation with Sir Harry
Lamb, the British high commissioner.
during a visit of Sir Harry to Renal
in Smyrna.
The visit of Sir Harry to Renal was
to ascertain the attitude of the Nation
alist government toward Great Britain.
Kemal informed Sir Harry that Tur-
key was not fighting against Great
Britain, but that Great Britain had in
terposcd every obstacle to the free
development of Turkey. He assured
the British high commissioner that
the Nationalists would not attack the
neutral zones in the straits of the
Dardanelles if the British would rec
ognize the Angora national pact and
return Thrace to Turkey.

HUNTERS
SHOOT B|CLYNx
Near AUGUSTA

A Canadian Lynx. or Loupcelvier.
weighing q IL pounds and meas
uring four feet six inches from tip
of front paws to tip OF hind paws.
was the trophy brought back to this
city Saturday night by a party of
Augusta men who went coon hunt
ing near the Grange Hall in River
side. In the party were DR.. o. H.
Brann, Fred Hill, Bertram Kicker.
Alfred Eastman and Frank Patter-
son.
The hunters went out the East
River road, toward Waterville about
Z miles and thence into the woods
east of Riverside Grange Hall. Here
DR.. Brann's dog Joe" struck the
trail and for an hour and half the
party followed him, specializing as to
what the game might lie as it did not
run as a coon should.
Once they believed the dog had his
quarry freed, but when they arrived
the animal had again started and
they were forced to chase it again.
1t ran in large circles through the
woods and kept them going. Finally
they came up to where the dog had
it freed again, and there in the
branches of a tree thirty feet from
the ground and almost over their
heads was the big cat. the spots on
it's body being plainly discernable
in the light of an electric torch.
AS the hunters were after coon
they did not carry loaded guns and
thought that the animal would surely
leap before they could get the guns
loaded. The first shot wounded the
creature but did not bring it down.
and it remained hanging by it's hind
legs in the tree. The second shot.
however, dropped the lynx to the
ground dead.
AS it was then 1890. the party
decided that they had done enough
for one evening and came back to
the city to exhibit the spoils.
The carcass of the lynx was just
one bundle of steel springs and mus
Gle and with the long sharp claws
which it carried it would have been
a bad fellow to meet in the night.
DR.. Brann said that he had been
hunting in that particular stretch of
woods for the past three years and
that he has never failed to start game
there hut so far this is the first ami
NAL of any kind that he has killed.
AS coon once started is usually
sure to get caught, he feels that the
| chances are that for the past three
years he has been chasing a lynx.
