"OPEN SHOPPERS'' FAILED TO EVEN DENT
 DENT ARMOR OF PORTLAND TRADE UNIONS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Portland, Ore, Nov. 2-Portland trade unionism took the "open shop movement and swallowed 1t at one gulp.
 Associated Industries came to fight and stayed to play. Employers band ed together under that name here, as they did in some other cities, and there was great ado about fighting the unions and restoring" the alleged right of a man to work under what ever terms and conditions the boss might see fit to impose

plies" flooded into town and took the places of the strikers. This they did with police protection. The legiti- mate union hasn't yet fully recovered. The case is a fine example of l. w. w. tactics.
 The Portland Labor Temple is one of the finest in the country and it is one of the finest buildings in this city. It is operating on a paying basis.
 Open shoppers" have made many boasts about what they have done on the Pacific Coast, but if they have ac- comp1ished anything anywhere it wasn't in Portland. They are scarce ly trying any more The whole thing was complete failure and illustrates perfectly the foo1ishness into which employers are sometimes led by those whose occupation is the lorganizatoin of movements" out of which they may later draw salaries.
 Portland IS good union town There are shop cards in many of the store windows, including some of the largest stores, and there are union buttons on the walters and waitresses in many restaurants. That is always good indication of the strength of unionism.
 Portland unionism, moreover, has done itself proud in the entertainment of the American Federation of Labof convention.

1t is just such action as the unherald- ed and generous aid that we give to our sister unions here and abroad that speaks louder than all the mouthings of our peddlers in "internationa1ism.
 We should like to oger our readers another bit of testimony tending to confirm the "reactionary" spirit of the leaders of our union. Several weeks ago a certain New York c1oakmal1er got a job in shop at very attrac- tive wage. Though a good mechanic, this man has been for some time suf- fering from the malady of "1eftism," which fact was duly conveyed to his new employer by "brother" worker of his in the shop. The result was that he was discharged after a few days in the shop, and he came to com plain about 1t to the office of the union, the self same union which he, like a true-blue left" had done his best to demora1ize for many months past.
 The union forthwith sent fright" officer to the shop and notified the employer that, unless he was courting trouble, he would reinstate this work fer, and that as long as this alleged left" was doing his work in proper manner and had as yet raised no re- volt in the. shop or in the United States of America, he was under the protection of the union and was going to receive it. The employer was very much taken back at this action of the union; he had not thought that the organization would take the side of the left" against his arbitrary order. But the representative of the union made it plain to him that the relations of the "lefts" to the union are mat ter entirely not of his concern and that he must reinstate the worker at once-which he did.
 In fairness, the "1efts' should now begin slandering and pouring venom upon the leaders of the union with even greater zest and zeal Those arch-traitors surely deserve it.
