V Right of Laborer to Work or Not to Work Upheld. FULL FREEDOM SOUGHT Kesorutlon Also Assert Kight of Employes to Collective Bargain ing Stand Is Defined. The members forum of the Port land Chamber of Commerce at its luncheon yesterday noon adopted a resolution containing a declaration of principles relating: to present indus trial conditions, standing firmly for the "open shop" principle and main taining" the ritfht of every laborer to work or not work, according to his desires. The resolution, which was submitted by C. W. Hodson, was adopted by the forum and will be pre sented to the board of directors of the Portland chamber for its consid eration. Freedom of personal action between employer and employe, honesty and fair dealing- by both parties and dis play of true Americanism in all con troversies are announced as the key notes of the programme as adopted. While granting the workers the right to organize, the resolution holds that any claim which the worker has had upon his position terminates with his leaving that employment by strike, and that the employer should be free from that time on to obtain without interference other workers to take up the "abandoned employment." "Open Shop Is Indorsed. The resolution "stands squarely for the 'open shop,' and is unalterably op posed to the 'closed shop principle. which ehuts the door to industry the face of the workman who is not a member of a labor union and who, for reasons satisfactory to himself. does not see fit to join, one." The entire resolution was as fol lows: Th Members Forum of the Portland Chamber of Commerce Jielieves In honesty and fair dealing between employer and i employe, and in due consideration being given to the rights of each by the other. Such relationship is an absolute essential for the successful and uninterrupted con duct of all business enterprises. The utmost endeavor of this chamber will always be exerted toward improving Industrial conditions as they concern those who perform manual labor, and partlcular L ly will such endeavors be directed to the elimination of the baneful Influence of class prejudice, which is not only respon sible for, but the result of, misunderstand ing of and disagreement over the view points involved in labor disputes, and which lead to strikes, lockouts, and, too often, to violence and bloodshed. Freedom of personal action has always ben, and within well recognized and proper limitations always must be, the cardinal principle of true Americanism. Every man has an unquestionable right to do or not to do whatever pleases him, so long as ho does not Infringe the rights of others. This principle Is especially ap plicable to 'employment and service. This forum contends that the employer has the inalienable right to employ whom soever he chooses, upon terms mutually satisfactory to himself and his employe. It also contends that the employe has the jns unquestionable right to engage to We-rfc for whomsoever he pleases, without )m r hindrance from any one, upon such terms and under such conditions as may be agreed upon between him and his em ployer. To abridge in the slightest de gree, or to Interfere In any particular with, these rights of either, is uncon scionable and criminal. Individuality Is Emphasized. The Inviolability of personal agreement and contract to labor, mutually entered Into, must be maintained at all hazards If our nation of freedom Is to survlv Individuality constitutes the very foun dation on which rests America's greatness as a commercial nation. its destruction. or even Its restriction, will spell national disintegration. On the question of labor organisations nd employment, this chamber upholds the right of Individuals to voluntarily as oclate themselves together for the pur pose of securing unity of action in efforts looking toward the advancement of their community Interests. It also upholds such right In efforts to advance personal in terest when confined within legal limlta tions. It concedes the right of the em ploye acting personally or In conjunction with others, to make requests or demands for Increase in compensation, change in working conditions, shortening of hours of service, and f presentation, of any other matters affecting the relationship of em ployer and employe; but at the same time, ii demands the right of voluntary accept ance or rejection of such requests or de mands on the part of the employer. In the event of their failure to agree, it is conceded that, under normal conditions, the employe has an unquestionable right to quit his employment, either Individually or in concert with his fellow employes; but having exercised niat right, and hav ing quit, this chamber contends that any claim he ever had upon such employment Immediately and wholly ceased, and that neither he, nor his fellow employes or or ganization associates acting with him, have any right to make demands of any na ture whatever upon the employer who i a lso exercised his unquestionable right and re jcc ted the demands. Under such circumstances this forum maintains that such former employes and their asso ciates shall not be permitted to In any manner interfere with other Individuals engaging to take' up the abandoned em ployment. In the protection of such workmen In the exercise of this right, and In performing the work, this chamber de mands that. If need be, the entire judicial land, if necessary, the police and military') powers of our city, state and national governments be used, and that recognl tlon of and compliance with this funda mental principle of justice be enforced. Industrial Freedom Vrged. Industrial freedom and right to labor under any circumstances desired must be maintained if the American nation Is to survive. This chamber holds it Is un A meriran to interfere with or abridge this constitutional right of the Individual evn in the Itphtext d "cr : It therefore The Secret Delight of a x Youthful Skin THE woman who values her appearance may enjoy the blessings and the secret delight in the posses sion of a velvety skin.

This forum demands fairness in dealing with all kinds and classes of workmen, be they union or non-union. It stands squarely for the "open shop," and is unalterably opposed to the "closed shop ' principle. which shuts the doors or industry in tne face of the workman who is not a mem ber of & labor union, and who, for reasons satisfactory to himself, does not see fit to j join one. Subject to existing contracts entered into, and when not in violation of law 1 regulating public service, this chamber holds that employer or employe, at their option, are privileged to terminate their relationship whenever either chooses so to do, with or without reasons Having been given. x This forum Is unqualifiedly opposed to any limitation being placed on the labor output of any individual workman within a given time, by means of union restric tions or "stunt" allowances, or to the manner in which payment shall be made for the Individual's services, whether by hourly rate, piece work, contract, or otherwise. It Is our contentlpn that every workman shall be permitted to enjoy the full benefit of his superior skill and ability In proportion to his productive capacity, and not be held down to the level of the incompetent and indolent. This forum holds the opinion that em ployers, as a rule, know and believe satis fied workmen are their best and most productive asset, and that, insofar as com petitive conditions will permit, are willing to compensate them to the greatest pos sible extent. Fair minded employers are always ready to discuss house problems and complaints with their employes, and to make such changes as will result In betterment of operating conditions and contribute to the peace of mind of the employe. They are not, however, called upon to discuss such mattera with those not directly In their employ. This forum feels by the adoption and carrying out of broad, liberal, equitable policies concerning the right of individual workers as to employment, remuneration and working conditions. It will enlist and retain the whole-hearted support of ali fair-minded, thinking people. In its de mand for industrial freedom for every man who labors with either hand or brain, .and that such action will establish a reputation for Portland as being an Ideal city In which to establish and maintain a homo and conduct a business.
