T HE OPEN SHOP BATTLE between the employers’ organiza
tions and the American Federation of .Labor seems to be a draw
at this stage of the fighting. .
Whatever slight advantage exists is with the employers oigan-
iznlion-. ^ ^ accor j ing to figures given out by President Gompcrs
at the 41 st annual convention of the A. F. c.f L. at Denver.
There were 4,078,740 members of the federation a year ago;
: there are 3.906. 528 members now.
The situation from the federation standpoint was.characterized
by Gompers as a "triumphal defense. ,
Considering the vigor with which the friends of the open shop
have pressed the fighting against organized labor during the year.
1 there is something to be said for the Gompors view.
But those responsible for organized labor's policies during
these disturbed times, will make a great mistake if they overlook
, even so small a los3 in membership as the figuics show,
t , Slight as it is, it should emphasize the fact that organized
labor is being challenged as never before.
TKere is just one way for it to continue to meet that chal
lengc successfully; that is, to conduct its allaira so wisely and
such conformity with the general interest, as w-sll as its own par
ticular interest, that IT WILL OVERCOME OPPOSITION BY
SHEER FORCE OF THE JUSTICE OF ITS OWN CAUSE.
Whatever abuses have grown up within the organization
the refill- of -its increase in members and power must be reient-
, Icssly rooted out, in its own ntnrest, and as an act of faith in its re
lation to the employers and to the general public.
That done, the federation will have disarmed its enemies and
-made a new host of supporters fen its campaign lor increased r.icm

I am not disposed to read too much

disturbed me somewhat.
I wanted to hear him say that
he had made Phi Beta Kapo, or won
