OPEN SHOP DEMAND r-rf" ii-'-- X I 1 I ' ! i - i h- ! $ f v x ' " WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. In his first Pronouncement before the national industrial conference. Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, sit ting as a representative of the public, today reaffirmed his position that the steel strike "should not be arbitrated or compromised" and objected to ac tion on that issue by the conference. He also restated without modifica tion his belief in the open shop and the right to determine terms of em ployment "between employe and em ployers." Autocratic Attitude Charged. This statement brought forth from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, the charge that Judge Gary was taking the attitude that "there is"no other opinion in the matter." Referring to the corporation chair man's request that the conference take no action in the strike, the labor leader declared that if the real in dustrial issues were -to be brushed aside there was no purpose In con tinuing the conference. "While the clash of the two leaders removed the hope of an agreement on the dominant issue of collective bargaining, prospects of conciliation were considered still more remote to night when it was permitted to be come known that the representatives of capital after an ill-day session were steadfast in their refusal to ac cept the Russell-Endicott resolution for recognition of collective bargain ing, approved by the public and labor groups. The employers again went into session tonight. Kisht on Floor Kxpected. The general committee of 15 will Wieet tomSrrow morning and the rep resentatives of the employers will attend with instructions from the group. . The conference adjourned to day to meet also at 9:30 o'clock, but Secretary Lane, chairman, will not call the meeting until the general committee is ready to report. It is expected that Thomas L. Chadbourne, chairman of the committee, will an nounce to the conference that an agreement could not be reached and that the two resolutions on collec tive bargaining will come, before the entire body with such changes in verbiage as have been made in com mittee and group meetings. "I desire to make a brief statement in relation to the question under dis cussion, as well as others submitted to this conference," Judge Gary said. "Further explanation of any vote I may register will probably be un necessary. "Like other members of the confer ence, I recognize that the public in terest must always be considered aa of first importance; that all private Interests must be subordinated. Arbitration Principle Indorsed. "I am heartily in accord with the desires of the president, firmly to establish proper and satisfactory relations between all groups of citi zens connected with industry, includ ing, of course, what has been desig nated as capital and labor. "1 believe in conciliation, co-operation and arbitration whenever prac ticable without sacrificing principle. "I am of the fixed cpinion that the present strike against the steel indus try of this country should not be ar bitrated or compromised, nor any ac tion taken by the conference which bears upon that subject. "Also that there should be main tained in actual practice, without in terruption, the open shop as a I un derstand it namely, that any man, whether he does or does not belong to a labor union, shall have the op portunity to engage in any line of legitimate employment on terms and conditions agreed upon between em ploye and employer. Output Reduction Attacked, am opposed to a policy or prac tice which unnecessarily limits pro duction, increases costs, prevents the workmen from receiving the highest wage rates resulting from voluntary and reasonable effort, hinders produc tion or. advancement in accordance with merit, or otherwise interferes With the freedom of individual action "As unorganized labor, which em braces the majority of working people, has no special representation in this .conference, I deem it appro nriate to say that all labor should re ceive due consideration and that it is the obligation, and ought to be the pleasure, of employers at. all times and in every respect to treat justly and liberally all employes whether unorganized or organized. Gompers declared Julge Gary's statement was identical with the steel executive's letter addressed to sub fcidarles of the steel corporation more than a month ago. Gompen Attacks Bourbons. Declaring the devotion of American Federation of Labor officials to the cause of the laboring man, Mr. Gom pers exclaimed in a voice filled with emotion: "If we cannot help them, by God (and I speak reverently) we will not hurt them." The labor leader accused the steel corporation of "giving out to the newspapers that the steel strike had been lost," and added that he hoped It was not true that "hundreds of thousands of men had been compelled to yield because they were too hungry to hold out." Gompers warned the conference that "if what has occurred in the United States recently in the indus trial controversy had not offered a reason for a new understanding, then there is no reason for a vote in this conference on this question." Attacking the "bourbon" who has "never forgotten anything because he has never learned anything," Gompers said it was useless to continue the conference if the real Industrial is sues of the day were to be passed over.
