Citizens' Alliance An
swers Unions,
THE PEACE PROJECT FAILS
Leading Employers Will Not
Indorse Scheme
FOR ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL
Franklin Association of Employing
Printers Will Consider Proposal,
and So Will Manufacturers'
Association at Later Day.
The plan set afoot by the Federated
Trades Council to bring; eternal peace
between employers and employes re
ceived a cold sousing; yesterday at the
hands of the "Citizens' Alliance. That
body as well as other organizations of
employers received a communication a
week ago stating: that the Federated
Trades had resolved that it would be
a good thing for everybody in general
if the bodies of organized labor and
those of organized empl,oyrs were to
get together and form a sort of Hague
tiibunal before which all difficulties
should be settled.
The Citizens' Alliance mailed its re
ply yesterday, and it came before th
Federated Trades Council last evening:
In tone It is sweet as the honey of
Hlbla and is couched in pleasant terms.
but the contents show that the Citi
zens' Alliance is against themovement
It begins with a paragraph indicating
that the Alliance is for open shop; It
goes on to say that "academic discus
sion" is pointless and ends by Ignoring J
organized labor altogether by saying
that its policy In case of difference!
between employers and employes will
be to deal with them when they do
arise. The letter follows-.
Citizens' Alliance's Answer.
Portland. Nov. 18.1004. The Federated Trades !
Council, Portland, pr. Gentlemen: Tour com
munication ol November 11 received, contents
noted, and I am Instructed to answer you as
follows:
The Citizens" Alliance stands for equal rights
to all men to labor and earn their bread, re
gardless of affiliation, and shall protect the
citizen in the exercise of this natural and con.
etltutional right. "We feel that such a policy
should recelx-e the hearty approval of all good
citizens.
We think, under existing conditions, academic
discussion by us of the subject of your com
munications will not "be productive of good.
As to the matter and question of arbitration.
specific cases will' be taken up and dealt -with
aa between employer and employe, an occasion
arises.
Thanking you for the communication, we are.
very truly yours,
THE CITIZENS' ALLIANCE,
Alexander Kunz. Secretary.
"When this letter was read before the
Federated Trades Council last evening
that body felt the full weight of it It
understood that though not perhaps alto
gether hostile, it showed the Citizens'
Alliance was not to be counted upon In
carrying out the scheme.
But this was not the only answer re
ceived. One came from the Franklin As
sociation, the organization of the enroloy-
ers of printers, and one from the Manu
facturers' Association. The first was dis
tinctly friendly and the latter merely
neutral. The Franklin Association showed
a disposition to know more about the
movement and said plainly that whenever
occasion arose It would be ready to take
part In the proposed scheme. Their let
ter follows:
Franklin Association Friendly.
Portland. Nov. 16. 1904. Portland Federated
Trades Council: Tour communication received
and placed In the hands of our board of di
rectors. At present there being no urgent de
mand tor a board of arbitration, we would
have further particulars In regard to the. pro
posed arbitration committee, and regards the
extent of Its powers and recognition by local
and National bodies.
At the proper time this association will be
ready to meet and discuss the proposed proposi
tion. FRANKLIN ASSOCIATION.
G. L. Peaslee, Secretary.
Manufacturers Delay Answer.
The Manufacturers Association, which
is a large body representing a great many
interests, was not prepared to take up
the scheme to hold peace conferences,
but agreed to discuss the matter fully at
the next monthly meeting and report.
Following Is the letter:
Federated Trades Council: Tour esteemed
communication of November 11 addressed to
this association, and to all employers' organi
zations of the City of Portland, suggesting a
plan to promote the welfare of the city and
community by more certain degree of peace
and amity In the Industrial field, was duly re
ceived and presented at a special .meeting of
the directors of the association, held on No
vember 14. However, as the meeting was a
special one. and due consideration of the busi
ness for which It had been called left no time
for the consideration of new business, the un
dersigned was Instructed to so advise you, and
to say that your communication would be
taken up at the next regular monthly meet
ing of the directors early In December.
MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION.
C H. Mclsaac. Secretary.
Hope for Public Sympathy.
Though the answer of the Citizens' Al
liance is somewhat of a poser, the Fed
erated Trades Council intends to take up
the work of promoting the meetings of
organized labor and capital and bring he
whole discussion as much as possible be
fore the public with the hope of enlisting
public sympathy. There will be general
meetings to bring these mooted questions
of possible difficulty to the fore. There
is even a liope that a consumers' league
might come about that would stand by
organized labor. All this ia to be done
without incurring the enmity of the em
ployers' associations, but with the pur
pose of reaching the whole membership
of the organizations, especially of the
Citizens' Alliance.
Before the Federated Trades Council
meeting ended a resolution was intro
duced indorsing the movement now being
agitated to establish a municipal employ
ment bureau.
