The Open Shop Wise, Fearless Statement of William I GersUe, Retiring President af the Chamber of Commerce. The following is an extract from the annual address of President Wil liam L. Gerstle, of the unamoer oi Commerce. It la given in full because of lta frank treatment of the most Important subject tha city, has to deal with: "I hope that tha new organization will ba able to remedy some of the things which, at the present time are retarding the growth of tne commorwo of San Francisco. It would please me very much to be able to say that the manufacturers of San Francisco have Increased, but I think it Is evident to everybody that the contrary is a fact. Since bur fire in 1906 our manufactures have decreased year by year and to day we have but 30 per cent of what we had four years ago. We have the hrbor. the climate, transportation facilities, capital and cheap fuel in fact, everything requisite to a manu facturing city; but as against this the cost of manufacturing Is so high that we cannot compete with neighboring communities. Everything is on a com petitive basis excepting labor, and this Is due to the fact that we have not had the courage in San Francisco to enforce the open-shop principle whioh prevails in our competitive cities. So long as we suffer from this handicap we cannot hope to be a great manu facturing city, and without manufac tures we are merely jobbers handling the. products manufactured elsewhera on a small commission basis. I have long urged that our manufacturers and merchants take a strong stand on the question of the open shop. In making this statement I am not criti cising union labor. They have their rights and are an element of great good, but I d not admit that they are the only people with the right to earn a living. Unorganised labor has equal r'ghts and the price of labor should be regulated like everything else, by sup ply and demand.. In making thla statement I am not advocating any na indoles, but I am stating in . a United Metal Trades Association the session on this question. The , bill as passed carries an emergency clause.

Y. words what everybody thinks, and though this may not meet with unan imous approval, I feel that this or ganization is big enough and strong enough to have the courage to state plainly without disguise what its feel ings in the matter are. Many have told me that we cannot have open shop in San Francisco, but I am not ready, to admit that I have entirely too much faith in San Francisco to .be lieve that we are willing to submit to anything which is contrary to Ameri can principles and - which our good judgment tells us is wrong. After our fire many people said that San Fran cisco could not bo rebuilt, and it cer tainly did look like a hopeless task, but we have done so and have astonished the world. With such a spirit as was displayed in rebuilding San Francisco we certainly should be able to inaugu rate a reform in our present labor conditions. All it requires is united action and the battle is won. We must rt toa-ether and stay together. In a spirit of loyalty to each other which would not permit any one to tana ad vantage of the misfortunes of another. That that can take place is not tha dream of an enthusiast blind to tha difficulties of bringing about thesa Ideal conditions, for I fully realize that It is not easy. However, it is pos sible, and sooner or later we must make the effort. Why not do it nowT Otherwise, all the money and energy, spent on rebuilding San Francisco is practically wasted. It would hava been far better to have saved what wa could out of the wreck and moved to some other community. Portland and Los Angeles have both enforced tha open shop, and though, like the ostrich, we may put our heads in the sand and thereby not see what is staring every one else in the face, it is a fact tha both of these cities, due to their cour age In working under open-shop prin ciples, are growing day by day in man ufacturing importance, while wo sit idly by and allow them to take our, trade away. It requires leadership to bring about these results, and I know) of no better medium than the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco." this bill would also have difficulty of passage, but there were very few dis senting votes.
