paign Of publicity through mass meet
ings To the labor movement have
been of untold value no one will ques-
ton. Coming at the time when the
"open shoppers" put forth their
greatest effort to install the open
shop plan i'm the building industry
and their complete failure in the eff
fort, we believe the mass meetings
played the important part of helping
TO win for the building trades the
closed shop and was the cause Of pre-
venting a greater reduction in wages.
The meetings have instilled greater
interest In the trade union movement
by the members themselves and re
moved the differences and misunder-
standing between the local unions.
Your committee attempted to have
a representative Of the church at each
Of its meetings and although Sundays
being the day all ministers are bur-
dened with their own services, they
readily responded to our request to
assist in the meetings.
While our own paper, The Review,
has been the main avenue for pub
licity of the meetings the committee
wishes to call attention to the very
fair treatment by the daily press
News-Gazette, Courier, and lllini, in
announcing the meetings and the inn
partial and fair reports published of
the meetings.
Your committee also would make
mention of the courteous treatment
by the Virginia and Rialto theatre
arrangements.
As for the financial end of the cam
paign, the committee suggested that
each union pay to the mass meeting
fund on basis of 30 cents per capita.
This would have been sufficient to pay
the campaign in full. While from
the financial statement which follows,
ii will be seen that nearly all the
smaller organizations paid their pro-
rated share, and some more than that,
the larger organizations did not do
as good, two of the organizations
failing to contribute any funds what
ever. Your committee believes that
since the financial statement shows a /,
deficit and the meetings have proven
of such benefit to the entire local
movement of the Twin Cities, that
the local unions take some steps at
once to raise the balance Of the funds |
necessary to meet the indebtedness
caused by holding the meetings.

ployers Association as a whole, and
The lack Of common sense in believing
that such a scheme could be enforced
upon the workers Of the two cities at
time when construction work must
proceed after delay Of two years,
and when tho demand for union build
ing craftsmen everywhere was such
that even the second and third rate
men were in demand, put the finishing
touches to the already declining grip
Of the "open shoppers"
But the open shop" movement here
has not been entirely without good.
Il has solidifed the ranks Of labor
as they have never been before,
bringing the various unions into a
closer relationship and understand
ing, and in illustrating clearly the
impossibility of getting anywhere
without close cooperation between
unions as well as individuals. 1t has
shown that collective bargaining
among unions is just as essential TO
success as is collective bargaining
among individuals, and that there is
not strength in mere numbers alone.
Everywhere, almost, the same story
of defeat is being told. In few
isolated places we read of the success
of the "open shop movement. In
Butte, with its G,00O empty houses
and stores, we'd say the open shop"
had made bowling success; in Den
yer there we're more business failures
last year than ever before in the his
tory of the city, and so ON.
But why is the "open shop" fail
ing? Why is this great scheme of
the Manufacturers Association to de-
unionize the country failing of its
purpose? There is just one reason,
and that is because its principles are
not based upon justice. Retail bust
ness men are becoming to know they
are being used merely as collectors
Of revenue for Big Business, and that
they in the end are the losers. They
have had a touch of "open shop" con-
ditions and have found those condi-
tons lacking of any benefit to them.
They have found from actual exper-
fence that small wages and long hours
will not make business hum as in the
good old days before opposition to the
unions put business ON the hummer,
and they see a return Of normally and
prosperity when the workers get back
to work under terms that guarantee
proper standard Of living. They
will have no more of the "open shop"
and its accompanying ills. They will
no longer be collectors for Big Bust
ness and hold the sack themselves.
They have found out that well-paid,
prosperous, happy, contented work
man is bigger asset to the commun-
| ity than hundred idle workmen.
open shoppers" and always will
have them, history is only repeating
itself in recording the wane of the
last effort of greed against justice.

HONOR MEMORY OF
MONITOR DESIGNER
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 9.-Sixty years
ago this morning the Confederate iron
clad Merrimac steamed away from her
anchorage in Hampton Roads to at
tack what was expected to be de-
fenseless union fleet. Instead she met
the Monitor, later called the Yankee
cheese box on araft," and engaged in
the first battle between iron-clads
which changed the whole naval STRAIT
egy of the world and which has been
described as the momentous sea en-
gagement ever fought.
Today the cities of New York and
Stockholm, Sweden, united in doing
honor to the memory of John Ericsson
who designed the Monitor.
A tablet was to be unveiled under
the auspices of the American Society
of Swedish Engineers at the house at
So Beach street, where Ericsson lived,
and later another tablet was to be un-
yelled at 260 West street, the site of
the Phoenix foundry where the parts
for the Monitor were turned out and
where Ericsson spent his last active
years The latter ceremony was to be
in charge of the General Society OF
Mechanics and Tradesmen. The Phoe.
nix foundry made the iron pipe carry
ing water from the old Croton aque-
duct to New York City, and built tbs
first iron and screw steamers.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, March 9.-With the
advent of the Democratic filibuster in
the senate against the four-power Pa
cific treaty a report has been gener-
ally circulated in Washington that the
senate minority members who follow
the leadership of Woodrow Wilson are
prepared to fight the treaty all sum-
mer in order to throw the entire issue
into the congressional elections.
1t is apparent from the tactics dis
played by the Wilson senators since
the submission of the four-power
treaty to the senate that they have
mutinied against Senator Underwood
the minority leader, who was one Of
the American commissioners at the
limitation of ornaments conference
and who favors the ratification of the
treaties resulting from 1t.
At a recent conference of Demo
cratic managers, held in Washington,
which preceded the launching of the
minority filibuster, Senator Under
wood was conspicuous by his absence.
1t is reported that he was not invited
to attend.
No one seems to doubt that the fill
buster is political gesture aimed
solely to embarrass the Harding ad-

APPEAL OF INDIA

LONDON, March 9.-India's appeal
for Turkish rights, which urges re-
vision of the Sevres treaty in view of
the intense Mohammedan feeling in
that country. has created sensation
here. The appeal has aroused resent
ment in a large section of the press
against the earl of Reading, viceroy of
India, and his council.
Every London newspaper today Wig
orously condemns the message. 1t is
complained that India's demands are
calculated to cause the British gov
ernment serious embarrass in it's
dealings with the signatories of the
Sevres treaty. English editors take
it for granted that this movement has
been launched in India to influence the
proceedings at the conference in Paris

France and Italy hope to discuss set

Certain newspapers emphasize that
a majority of the people in India are

about him. These newspapers assert
that the claims of the Turks gain
prominence in India only through the
exploitation of Mohandas K. Gandhi.
