Many of the Employes of the Under- signed Packing Plants Have Left Our Employ IT WAS NOT a QUESTION of WAGES, HOURS or WORKING CONDITIONS It was a question of the recognition of the union. These demands on the part of the union WERE MET BY US LAST AUGUST. THE ONE QUESTION INVOLVED WAS - The Un-American Closed Shop vs. The American Open Shop OUR EMPLOYES DEMANDED THAT NONE BUT UNION MEMBERS OR PERSONS WILLING TO BECOME UNION MEMBERS BE EMPLOYED BY US. WE REFUSED THIS ONE DEMAND, AND OUR EMPLOYES, MISLED BY AGITATORS, WALKED OUT. Our plants are the only packing plants in the United States today that have an eight- hour day. Wages are high. There {is not a packing plant in the United States today working under closed-shop con- ditions, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS REFUSED, IN ALL DISPUTES BE- TWEEN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE SUBMITTED TO IT FOR ADJUSTMENT, TO ENFORCE THE CLOSED SHOP WHERE OPEN-SHOP CONDITIONS HAD PRE- VIOUSLY PREVAILED. The officials of the American Federation of Labor, headed by President Samuel Gompers, has agreed that in the present war crisis the settlement of strikes on the part of its members shall not be dependent upon the recognition of the closed shop; have agreed that Union members shall work side by side with nonunion or open-shop employes. Our employes demanded that we sign an agreement with them to employ none but union members, or if there were not sufficient union members to perform the work, that we em- ploy only such persons as would be willing to immediately join the union, THE CLOSED SHOP IS UNFAIR, UNAMERICAN. It has been denounced by such distinguished Americans as Theodore Roosevelt and ex-President Taft. It has never been upheld by any body of Americans to whom the question of the Closed Shop vs. the Open Shop was ever submitted. : WE CANNOT CONSENT TO RECOGNIZE THE CLOSED SHOP NOW OR LATER. We want—we must have—loyal American men and women (skilled and unskilled) to aid us, to aid the government, to aid this community to keep the meat production of the United States normal. We have contracts to help supply with meat the 40,000 soldiers at Camp Lewis, the navy boys at Bremerton and government employes else- where—all vital to the winning of the war. To the men and women who are willing to enter our employ we guarantee an 8-hour day—high wages— permanent em- ployment. And in addition A LIBERAL BONUS will be paid such vol- unteers until the emergency is ended. If you are willing to do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay we will ensure you permanent employment with us under as satisfactory working conditions as are to be found in the United States.
