TO Business Men. =.

According to an Associated Press
report sent out Wednesday the ,busi-

are warned to keep clear of "open
shop" movements. Some Of New
Jerseys. biggest business men, nlem-
bers of committee on industrial re-
lations Of: the New Jersey Chamber
of Commerce. in a. public statement,
cautioned all employers to avoid
anti-union coercion. :, :.
They were advised, to "steer clear
of the various open. shop move
ments; and to cooperate with the
workers in every possible way. Tho
report, written after eight. months
survey, has been approved. by the
executive committee and adopted by
the board of trustees Of the state
chamber.
1t is pointed out there are three
roads open to employers. One is the
road. Of constructive achievem ents
within the shop; another is thats'of
constructive cooperation between
organizations of employers and those
Of workmen, and a third is that tf
the. "open shop This last move.
ment, in the opinion Of the commit
tee, is Undermining the confid ence
OF labor ip employers and running
the foundation for cooperation be-.

similar campaigns in former Pc.
riods Of depression" the report con-
tinues. ,"have only resulted in, re-
doubled growth of unionisrn and the
adoption by it Of more extreme
measures in the periods OF prosper
ity which followed. and there is. no
reason to believe that the result cf
this campaign will be different.
