ORGANIZED MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TO FORCE SHOWDOWN BY REPUBLICANS Influence Exerted in Effort to Make Harding Assert Himself on Question During Summer Speaking Tour-Newspapers Disagree Probable Result of Burning Question
 in Event 1t Is Fought By
 Political Parties.

Will the paramount issue in the presidential campaign of 1924 be the red-hot question of the "open" or "closed" shop in industry? ''It will if General Hell and Maria Dawes can have his way" declares Raymond Lonergan, in Labor, Washington or gan of the railway brotherhoods
 Moreover, he adds, politicians expect Dawes to gently but firmly shove At torney-General Daugherty into the background ,and to become the real leader of the Harding forces. And if the Dawes program does go through, in the opinion of leading Progressive Republican Senator, it will Split the Republican party wide open" This may be a reason why 1t will not be permitted to enter the campaign, in the view of experienced political wiseacres. In fact, remem- ing the peaceful character of our chief executive, the independent New York Globe believes that "Mr. Hard ing has the chance here for pioneer service"; that to settle the differences between employers and workers would be distinct achievement flor an ad- ministration facing an election"
 Several weeks ago the Washington correspondent of the New York Times (Dem.) reported the existence of "strong but loosely organized movement among men of affairs for declaration by the Republican party in favor of the 'open shop" Taking part in this movement were several men who built up sentiment favor able to Mr. Harding among eastern bankers, manufacturers and business men before the 1920 convention" we are told, land these men apparently hope that the President will assert himself upon the question during his summer speaking tour." Railroad ex- ecutives, too, are said to be dissatis- fled with "the administration hesita- ton in dealing with last summers in dustrial troubles" and organized la bor fears the battle must be fought all over again because a decisive end was not reached"
 President Harding, it will be noted, has not expressed himself on the sub feet of the "open shop" But no president in the last generation has made an open campaign against or ganized labor," we are reminded by David Lawrence, in the New York Evesing World (Dem). In fact, be-

gaining and different kinds of collec- tive bargaining. There is proht-shar- ing and various plans of wage pay ment. There are also harmony and discord.
 "But this may be said: in the open shop management Is not crippled in developing its full efficiency; the wei fare of the particular shop Is the basis of the relation between the parties;
 the opportunity to work and to de- velop his skill and earning power is not denied the worker, and the door to experiment and progress toward better conditions and relations has not been closed Whatever defects, or weaknesses, or injustices are incident
 to the 'open shop one fact must be clear, and that IS that they are not to be cured or a better order estab- lished through the substitution of the closed shop"
 "The final demand which fixes the wages of the workers comes from the consumer of goods, and the employer can no more prevent the operation of this law than he can stop water rum
 ming down-hill"
 On the other hand, maintains the independent New Haven Journal Courier, "a declaration in favor of the
 open shop is a declaration against organized labor as a whole" An equally absurd thing would be to de- clare against consolidated capital, the open shop or any other lawful hu-
 man effort undertaken to better con-
 ditions of 1ife," asserts this paper,
 which believes that "in no other way than by organization could labor have secured for itself the forms of pro- i lection to which 1t IS entitled" As the Buffalo Express 0nd. Rep.) puts
 the case for organized labor: ! Trades un1onism Is a just1hable
 defense for workers and the ef- fort of group of business men to
 smash unions will be futile, because
 unions are not only protection to workingmen but are useful III raising
 the economic level of the mass of the
 people"
 l Finally, declares Samuel Gompers,
 president of the American Federation of Labor:
 I American trade union1sm, as rep
 resented by the American Federation
 of Labor is constructive movement, a rational and natural movement of
 the working people for better life, participation in some of the things
 worth while in the work, in the home,
 in the play, in leisure in culture, and
 to make each day better day than
 the day that IS past; normal, evolu- tionary rather than revolutionary. ! American organized labor will live 1 long after those who are prodding

"Open Shop" Question May
 Be The Paramount Issue In
 1924 Presidential Campaign

ming Post, however, the explanation is not so simple:
 Instead of using the vague names open and ''closed' shop, it is desir- able that we distinguish between the strict union shop, the preferential non-union shop, the establishment with a shop committee, and the shop with fair balance between union and non-union men,"
 Still another essential fact Is point ed out by the National Association of Manufacturers. Under the constitu- ton of practically every union in this country" says this organization, "a union man who accepts employment in an open shop IS deprived of his membership" But, 1t adds, "the unions are not always able to enforce these rules, and as consequence there are thousands of establishments which actually have union and non union men working side by side" |" | Furthermore, says this anti-closed- l shop organization, in statements pub lished in the New York Journal of 1 Commerce and Baltimore Manufac- | turers' Record:
 : "The very fact that this question Is being discussed from a political angle 1 is unquestionably recognition of a wel-founded belief that the general public is opposed to the closed shop. The open shop question, however, is much more than one of political scope, and it can not, in the final an alysis, be settled in the political arena It Is, rather, an economic issue. l Whenever the public has had both sides of the 'open shop question ade- quatel presented it has decisively de clared for the open shop The closed shop advocates themselves have assisted in this by refusing to discuss the 'cloed shop from the standpoint of public welfare. They have based their advocacy of the closed shop upon its alleged benefits to an organized minorit5,< element. ] "In the economic field GIT open shop department has presented clear evidence on the public cost of the closed shop It has, for example shown that rent increases are much greater in towns where building Is closed shop; that taxes are increased b ythe closed shop since 1t costs 46 per cent. more to erect school build ings under closed shop than 1t does under open shop conditions; and that higher prices tor commodities are largely controlled by closed shop production methods.

 "We often think of the fopen shop as a definite plan or system, or as a solution of the labor question. It is
 none of these things. It is merely a
 shop that is not tclosed'-whefe both Funion and nos-union men are em-

 The issue of the "open shop" is not new. But hitherto" notes justice, a
 New York labor paper, ''the two
 major political parties have found 1t more convenient to remain obscure
 on this issue" "President Harding always sought to take a middle-of- the-road position on this question" :" says the Socialist New York Call. In his messages of December, 1921, and President Harding carefully avoided question:" recalls the independent
 Grand Rapids Press. And in the com ing campaign, agree such widely sep
 arated papers-politically and geo.
 graphically-as the Charleston (W. Va.) Mail Gnd. Rep.), the Savannah
 Press (Dem.), and the Fresno Re publican Ind. Rep), there is no oc-
 casion for the Republican party or any other party to advocate either the "closed shop" or the "open shop.' To many editors the present seems particularly inopportune for even dis
 cussing these principles, in view of the
 reported scarcity of labor, skilled and
 unskilled. Besides, points out the Nashville Tennessean (Ind.) Dem.): "A succession of strikes and con- tinued high prices for the products of
 union labor have left the public cold to any advances of either organized labor or 'open shop advocates. The public is paying the bill for strikes
 and lockouts, and it knows it."
 In the opinion of business daily, the Cleveland Times-Commercial, however, the "open shop matter is
 more than political problem; "it is
 an economic issue" By now," ex-
 plains the financial Boston News Blu reau:
 "The public we'll understands that the open shop IS not non-union shop. It simply is shop in which all may work, irrespective of their
 membership in labor unions. The
 union man and, the, non-union man work side by side without discrimina- ton. It gives the employer the right to employ non-union men if he pre- l fers them. It guarantees to the non union man the right to work"

The maximum penalty is six months

The Zion overseer was indicted two

alleged Voliva printed pamphlets
during a religious controversy which
alluded to him in uncomplimentary
terms. Nelson, after the clash with
Voliva, established a church Of his

Voliva was incensed at what he
