Is Closed Shop Real Issue?
Chrysler Truce Hailed Opportunity for Public
to Ask Questions.

sole collective bargaining agency for
all, and if not, why not? Is capital
willing to accept the check-of system,
by which union dues are collected by
the employer out of the pay envelopes
of the workers and passed on to the
union? If not, what are the argu-
ments against it? What sort OF ma
chinery for the adjustment of disputes,
in advance of and following the out
break of strike does capital suggest
be set up? And-how much of in
creased labor costs must be passed on
to the public?
OF course, "capital' cannot answer
these questions, but the basic 'iey in
dustries of the country might answer
them, and if they did, we would be on
our way somewhere. But the public
also wants some answers from labor.
1t wants to know: Is labor leadership
bent on achieving its ends by strikes
and coercion? Is it really exhauSting
the possibilities Of negotiation before
calling out-or shutting ln-the work
erS and stopping production? Is it
calling strikes in order to win the right
to organize, or is it calling strikes as
a means of organizing? What, pre-
cisely, does labor mean by "sole col
lective bargaining agency?" Does 1t
mean the closed shop? If not, what
protection is to be offered minorities,
if any? If SO, what protection is to be
offered the public, if any? What re-
sponsibilities will the unions assume
that contracts will be carried out?
What measures will the unions take
against trade-union racketeerlng?
Have the unions never employed spies
and thugs? If the check-off system Is
adopted, what accounting do the
unions give of this pay roll tax? What
guarantees, if any, are there that the
unions themselves are democratic In
stitutions? How do the unions feel
about labor monopolieS?
Where Does Government Stand?
And we, the public, would also like
to ask a few questions OF the Govern
ment. We would like to know: Just
what is Governments role in all this?
Is it the role of an umpire, or is 1t the
cola dDOTdJOT OF one O1 lIlt Pal lleS 10
the Government representing US, or Is
it forgetting all about us?
We would like to know what the
rules and objectives of this game
are We would like to have some
thing to say about those rules and
objectives And at present We have
the feeling that We are very short
on representation and We don't
trust completely either capital, la
Dor or the Labor Relations Board
or the labor relations act--which
apparently is everybody's slavey, to
be called or dismissed as happens
to be convenient If we don't get
some answers, We, too, might go on
sit-doWn strike. We might just fold
our hands when the tax collector
comes around, and fold our hands
when the bills come in with every
body's gains and agreements charged
up to us. The sit-doWn strike is ef-
fective because it is psychologically
so attractive. Who of us has not
been tempted time and again to en-
ploy it?

las had been exporting an item in
volving millions of dollars for Joseph
Kennedy, head of the commission. He
was professor of law at Yale, of vida
repute and called by President Hutch
ins of Chicago the most knowing law
professor in America, or words to that
effect.
He was born at a Minnesota cross
roads. His mother, the widow of
Presbyterian minister, shifted over
many States, trying to maintain her
three youngsters. At Yakima, Wash,
young Douglas served a morning and
afternoon newspaper route, gathered
and sold junk, pruned and sprayed
orchards and worked in the harvest
fields. Thus, at Is. he had acquired
secondhand bicycle and an extra
shirt. He pedaled to Whitman Col
lege at Walla Walla, lived in a tent
and worked as janitor.
He failed to get Rhodes scholar
ship, but shared Phi Beta Kappa
key, which went with him to New
York He picked up few odd jobs
and entered Columbia law school.
After six months as law student
he wrote a correspondence course in
law, picked up $500, and ran this up
to $1,000 by tutoring. He rode back
to Yakima on the cushions to marry
his childhood sweetheart. When they
returned to New York, he landed on
the Columbia law faculty, switching

future because other offenders have
been immune.
The Federal statute, it will be noted,
makes it the obligation, In fact, the
duty of the President to intervene
when from any cause" the consti-
tuted authorities of State fail in or
refuse protection Of the people" in
the exercise Of their constitutional
rights.
Not only have laws Of Michigan
been violated but Federal laws as
well. There are severe penalties for
interfering with the delivery OF let
tiers or interfering with the proper
receipt of mail by persons lawfully
authorized to receive such mail.
The main issue, however, is the
failure of the constituted authorities
of Michigan to give protection to the
courts of the State and to the citi-
zens of the State with respect to
rights guaranteed them by the Federal
Constitution.

Now what has happened in Michl-
gan? A group Of workers seized the
plants of other persons and the
courts ordered eviction. The orders
Of the courts were not obeyed. Inc
constituted authorities were fouted
and. indeed, challenged to enforce the
orders of the courts. Subsequently, as
matter of negotiation between
employers and employees, the plants
were evacuated but only on condition
that the employers agree to give the
workers the equivalent of their sit
down" strike-a stoppage of all opera
tions and stipulation that tools. dies,
or other property should not be
removed.
Deny Right to Work.
What the "sit-down" strikers gained
by voluntary evacuation was an &C
ceptance of the objectives of the sit
down." namely to shut up the plants
against the rights of other citizens
who might wish to work therein.
AS for the .ourt's orders, they have
been fagrantly disregarded and the
Governor of Michigan and the sheriff
have failed to carry out the equal
protection of the laws of the State
of Michigan required by the statute
quoted above. No punishment has
been meted out to the persons who
this week disobeyed the courts orders
in connection with the "sit-doWn
strike at the Chrysler plants or to
the persons in Flint, Mich, who defied
the orders of Judge Gadola's court.
Although Judge Gadola issued Or
ders that the "sit-doWn strikers" were
in contempt of his court, he has had
no backing by the Governor Of Michl-
gan. Thus, not only have number
of citizens in Flint and in Detroit
been deprived of their rights but many

fication of the Speed-up system, or
for such matters as recognition or
seniority, because, again, these could
be negotiated 1t has apparently de-
veloped into a struggle for the closed
shop although the words closed shop
are substituted by those vaguer ones
of the Wagner labor relations act,
sole collective bargaining agency.
1t is the closed shop which Mr..
Chrysler opposes, and it is the closed
shop which Mr.. Lewis desires. Then,
the strikes unquestionably have an
other purpose. They are called as
demonstrations of power, for the pur-
pose not only of making an impress
sion on employers, but for the pur-
pose of making an impression on the
workers, of making them union
minded, and Of convincing them that
they won't get their rights handed
down to them on silver.
Just the same, the public has some
questions to ask The public is the
people of the United States. 1t is not
organized labor, no matter what Mr.
Lewis says. The majority OF the wage
and salary earners of this country are
workers, but they do not belong to the
ranks of organized labor and they
never will under democratic political
system. They are engaged in agri-
culture, in services, in free professions,
in little businesses-in thousand and
one pursuits which cannot be union
lied. The people are not organized
capital either. They may own share
here and share there, but they don't
depend on these to pay the grocery
bill. This public is getting a little
apprehensive. 1t sees that on the one
side there is powerful organized
capital and on the other there is about
to be a powerful organized labor, and
they wonder where n either strife or
agreement they are going to come in.
They wonder whether they may not
turn out to be the group holding the
bag.
Questions for Both Sides.
So the public is beginning to ask
some questions, and to ask them of
capital, labor and Government. 1t is
asking capital the following: Is capital
willing to recognize the principle of
independent trade unionism and allow
organizat ton without interference? Is
capital willing to abandon the sham
union? Is capital willing to do away
with hired spies and thugs? Is capital
willing to recognize any one union as

The Citizens Hose Company
were announced for a drill on Mon
day evening in their new uniform
coats, boots, &C., but as the
day had been exceedingly inclem-
ent with thunder shower in the
early part of the evening it was
thought they would not come out,
and they were not as an entire
company, but a sufficient number
to go through a drill. Had the
weather been pleasant their exer-
cises would have attracted a good
deal of attention on the part of the
citizens. Their performances closed
with a hose duel in which several
of them were severely plugged,
wetting some citizens including a
lady, which was very ungallant.
The grand finale was a repast at
Stevenson & Peregoy's ice cream
saloon.
