Report Calls It Effort to De

Movement in U. S.
N'KW YORK, Dec. 87. The . pen
shop campaign In American Industry
was criticised as an effort to destroy
tho organized labor movement. In a
statement issued Sunday by the com
mission of the Chlirch and social serv
ice of the Federated Council of the
Churches of Christ In America. Tho
statement said:
"Relations between employers and
workers are seriously affected by a,
campaign for tho "open shop" policy.
These terms are being frequently used
to designate establishments definitely
noii-union. onviuusiy a snop or iniB
kind Is not an 'open shop' but a 'closed
shop' closed against members of la
bor unions.
"A widespread Impression exists
that the open shop' campaign Is In
spired In many quarters by this an
tagonism to union labor. Many disin
terested persons are convinced that
an attempt Is being made lo destroy
the organized labor movement. Any
such attempt must be viewed with ap-
I prehension by fair minded people
"When an applicant for work Is
i Compelled to sign a contract pledging
himself against affiliation with a union
' or when a union man Is refused em
ployment or discharged, mi rely on the
: ground of union membership, the em-
, ployer is using coercive methods and
is totaling the f unilarnental prlncl-
1 pies of an open shop. Such action is
unfair anil inimical lo economic free
dom. 'It seems incumbent upon Christian'
employers to scrutinize carefully any
movement likely to result In denying'
the workers such affiliation as will In
