In speaking of tho 'Klamath Pol

local employers, Mr. Call said: "I
oppose they had the right to atgn
that sort of a proposition If they saw
fit, at least we do not deny them the
right. Hut wo do reserve for our
selves the right to question the wis
dom of such a movement. We re
serve that right because the workers
re affected much a the employ
ers. As a matter offset the 'open
hop' really means non-union shop.

that all of its officers and organizers
re men who have been taken from
the ranks of the workers, and that
they must be men of wide experience
In thn Industry.

provides for -the Initiative, referend
um and recall, thereby making the
organisation thoroughly democratic.
He compared working conditions and
wages In communities where the tlm
berworkers are organised and where
they are not, stating that in Montana,
Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
wherever there are union organisa
tions that the wages are( higher and
the conditions better than where
there Is no organisation. He stated

add "bonus!' systems that thoro was
gravo dangor that tho olght-hour day
