Prelimin ary steps toward the organization of the Lnion Co-Operative Construction company of Florida, designed to handle all kinds of building construc tion at cost were discussed this after noon by members of the various building trades crafts unions at meeting at the labor temple. Daniel Graves, booster of the proposed com pany explained tentative plans for the organization He emphasized the statement, "the man that does the work must receive a living wage," and declared that the recent local cut of 20 per cent In wages of carpenters and other crafts is not lustifled by reduction, in the cost of living, coupled with the state ment that the average brick mason does not get to work more than six months in the year on account of bad weather, lack of material and from other causes the speaker de clared "instead of being paid )0 per day, he will not average more than 125 or 130 a week at the pre vailing prices without the cut itfid there is not a clerk in a store that does not receive $25 or $30 or more per week.". The Union Co-Operative Construc tion company, according to the ten tative plans, would operate Just as any other contracting concern. Its president or chairman will be elected by the various -co-operating trades crafts.

Would. the south have been invited to at in that they may thus induce an em ployer not to employ him or continue him in employment. Beyond this they may not go. When they thus succeed in excluding a non-union man from work under a common employment they are creating a closed shop. This is lawful and within their right; but it is unsocial and should be resisted. If possible, by employers. When the latter unite to fight it. they should have the sympathy of all good men, and the public will sustain them in the struggle. . But we must not be misled by a misuse of the term "open shop" to disguise a movemen which has for itM nhlect not tha mere defeat of those labor unions who insist on the closed shop, but the destruction of labor union generally. There Is a class of employers who believe that there is nothing but evil in the com binations of worklngmen who regard the strike as an unmitigated instru ment of evil and who look forward to stamping out labor unionism by a combination of employers who will refuse to employ union men at all, who will discharge men who Join a union and who will Include in their contracts of employment a clause by which the employe binds himself during his employment not to belong to a union. Such employers are with in their lawful right in making such contracts and refusing employment to union men; but the shop they are conducting la not an open shop. It is a 'closed, non-union shop. It is Just as unsocial as the closed shop of the labor union and deserves no more support or sympathy from good men or from the public then the other. It is the custom of Bourbon employ ers engaged in fighting labor unionism . (Continued en Pad Twa) ON MANY LINES Called to Discuss Proposed acneauie on Southern Products. A i LAMA, Jan. 23.

VIce-President-Elect Coolidge will address the congress. Seventeen southern governors, and many state qfficlals are also on the program for speeches. John R. Kir by, president of the association, will preside. Proponents of the tariff association hold that every line of southern pro ductive industry should be protected by a tariff, but this is the first time that a definite step has been taken to obtain such protection. It has been pointed out that there are a number of lines of southern products on which there Is no tariff at all. Among these are southern mineral industries; talc industries, graphite producers and many others. These lines will have representatives at the congress to present their pleas for tariff protection. Some of the other lines which are to be represented, are: Southern zinc producers; sulphur industry of Louisiana and Texas; southern iron and steel Industry; coke 'oven by-products association; southern glass manufacturing con cerns; producers of ferro-allos's, asbestos, mica, potash, gypsum and other "infant" southern mineral pro- -p j.- Wnflriinotfln ducts: livestock dealers; allied manu- 6 I U T U 8 10 WaSniUgMJB facturing associations of all south- French Believe Allies Will Be Able to Agree on All Lines.
