LUNDBERG CO. |ator Tatra Ave up ma eeattte A Statement to the Public FROM The Master Butchers Comprising Every Market in Seattle Which Handle U.S.Gov’t Inspected Meats HE Master Butchers and the Butchers’ Union, known as Local 81, entered in- to a written agreement, effective June 23, 1917,and to expire May 1, 1918, which covered the subject of wages, hours and general working conditions. There was no provision of any nature whatsoever in this signed agreement which either directly or indirectly required the Master Butchers to confine the purchase of their packing house products to any packing house or packing houses. The agreement, in other words, left the Master Butchers absolutely free to make their purchases from any source whatsoever. Since the contract became effective, June 23, 1917, the Master Butchers have faithfully fulfilled every provision of the agreement. They have had no complaint to the contrary from the union. So far as the Master Butchers know, every employe _ has been satisfied with wages, hours and working conditions. Notwithstanding the fact that the Master Butchers have faithfully lived up to the letter of their contract with the union, the latter, through its official representatives, on December 5, 1917, more than six months prior to the expiration of the written agreement, served on them the following ultimatum: \ a WRITTEN CONTRACT BROKEN Seattle, Washington. December 5, 1917. WE, as a COMMITTEE FROM LOCAL 81, have no desire to break an existing contract, now or at any time, with the MASTER BUTCHERS’ ASSOCIATION OF SEATTLE; but owing to the existence of the Slaughter House men’s conditions in Tacoma, we are obliged to notify you at this time that after 9 o’clock, December 6, we will not cut any meat that is declared unfair from any packing house in Se- attle or Eastern Branch houses. We umderstand that the packers here are standing together to assist Carstens. Therefore, unless some of them sign up before 9 o'clock, Thursday, all meat will be considered unfair. Any meat in the coolers, not including Carstens, that is in the coolers at the time of strike may be cut. Since receiving the above ultimatum the following dodger, bearing the union label, has been scattered broadcast over the city: ALL PACKING HOUSES IN SEATTLE UNFAIR ORGANIZED LABOR Upon receipt of the ultimatum quoted in the foregoing and prior to 9 o'clock, December 6, the Master Butchers, in order to protect the public in its meat supply for as long a period as was possible, stocked their refrigerators to the limit with U. S. government inspected meats. This meat supply was sufficient to carry them until Saturday night, December 8. With this supply exhausted, the Master Butchers find themselves unable to obtain a further meat supply, which the union, undeg its ultimatum, will handle, owing to the fact that the union has declared all packing houses in Seattle and Tacoma, as well as Eastern branch houses, unfair. It is a human impossibility, and the union knows it, for the Master Butchers to purchase from any other source whatsoever, sufficient United States government inspected meat to supply even in part the normal demand of the Seattle public. F To be plain, the ultimatum delivered to the Master Butchers by the union, boiled down to cold facts, meant that every one of the Master Butchers must either lock his doors as soon as his supply of United States government inspected meat on hand became exhausted, or to employ in the shops men and women who would handle meat coming from the only source from which it is possible to purchase it. As a result it becomes necessary for the Master Butchers to say to their employes that it is the intention of its members on Monday morning (December 10) to purchase further supplies frdm the packing houses of Seattle and that unless they are willing to handle this meat their services terminated Saturday night. PEOPLE’S PROTECTION AT STAKE The public is no doubt familiar in a general way at least with the fact that the unions of this city have called out their men from the packing planis of Seattle and have declared these plants to be unfair. The Master Butchers are not a party in any sense of the word to the trouble ex- isting between the unions of this city and the Seattle packing houses, and refuse, for their own protection and the protection of the public which they serve, to be made a party to this fight. The Master Butchers wish to impress the public with these facts: It is im- possible for the Master Butchers to obtain a United States inspected meat supply from any source except frém the Seattle packing houses or Eastern branch houses. After securing this supply they must have employes to handle it. This their employes refuse to do. Hence it is essential for them to obtain new employes. The public should further understand that there is not a butcher shop in Seattle today handling U. S. government inspected meats, which has not been declared unfair by the unions of Seattle. The Master Butchers make the foregoing statement for the reason that they desire the public, with which they have always dealt fairly, to understand the situation which now confronts them, All patrons of the markets involved, as well as the general public, are asked to give the Master Butchers their moral support in the present unsettled conditions—conditions for which they are neither directly nor indirectly responsible.
