MONEY POWER MOVE
TO BREAK UNION LABOR
Bankers Back Contractors in Giant Lockout To Dis
cipline Insurgent Bosses First Move in
War on Chicago Unions.
The building trades lockout went
into effect today. If the plans of the
bosses pan out there will be 200,000
more idle men in Chicago within a
week.
Now rises the question: Is this an
organized effort to crush for all time
unionism in Chicago?
La Salle street has lined up solid
in favor of the boycott. David R.
Forgan, president of the National
City bank and brother of the presi
dent, of the Chicago clearing house,
'was at the meeting of 92 Big Busi
ness men yesterday at which the
lockout was authorized in a diplo
matically worded resolution.
Forgan assured the Big Business
representatives that the financial in
terests of Chicago were in sympathy
with the movement and gave assur
ance that "the banks would stand
firjnly behind the employers who
closed their plants. He said these
men who went to war upon the
unions need not worry if they could
not meet their notes. The banks will
carry their notes for them until
times are more prosperous.
This means that the banks have
joined with the lumbermen, contract
ors and building material makers in a
coalition against the union men of
the building trades
