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

declares It Is opposed to and condemns
the use of demands, threats, intimidation
or force, either Implied or direct, by any
person or organization endeavoring to
compel any individual to join or refuse
to Join a labor union.
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.
