Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Open Versus Closed Shop The struggle of labor unions to promulgate the doctrine of the closed shop, and the persistent efforts of employers associations to crush out the movement is resulting in a conflict that involves more strength, men and money than have many well known wars in history. Strikes and lock outs which in themselves appear merely as local contests, often, because of the closed shop principle involved, become practically nationwide. To understand the complexities of such a movement, one ought to make a more or less critical study of the whole labor movement. The closed shop is not an issue separate and distinct by itself, but is associated with many other phases of the labor problem. As has been true of the other books in this series, an effort has been made in preparing this volume to include such material as may give the reader an opportunity to gain a comprehensive knowledge of the question under consideration. In view of the fact that the status of this question has changed little since the first edition of this volume was published, no new reprints have been included in this edition. References to the more important magazine articles issued during the past year have been included in the bibliography About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Closed Shop The abnormal industrial prosperity of the war period, with its high wages, high prices, ready employment, prodigal spend ing, and its rapid growth and domineering attitude Of trade unionism, brought in its wane a spontaneous and nation-wide demand among employers for the Open shop. In many parts of the country employers associations and Chambers of commerce, who bided their time during the period Of greater prosperity, took advantage Of the increasing unemployment in the fall Of 1920 and the Winter and spring that followed to conduct active campaigns 'of publicity, issuing hundreds Of bulletins, filling various trade and commercial papers with articles, and other wise disseminating propaganda advocating the Open shop which they called the American plan for they claim to be actuated by motives Of highest patriotism. Labor, lacking the whip hand which it held during the war period, but realizing the real pur pose and the full significance of these campaigns, fought to the limit Of its power all attempts to crush out the closed shop. In several Cities the central labor body collected funds, issued pamphlets, and furnished speakers for clubs and public meet ings, in an effort to counteract the aggressive campaign Of the employers. Thus was written another Chapter in the strug gle Of organized labor to establish the union or closed shop against the determined resistance of the employers, and again the Closed shop controversy became one Of the leading public questions.
