OPEN SHOP CONDEM NED
BY BIG N. Y. MANUFACTURER
New York, April 14.— Denial that the
open shop movement was in any sense a
"conspiracy of employers" was made to
day by George W. Sisson, president of
the American Pulp and Paper Associa
tion, in addressing the convention of
that organization
"I believe," he said, "that the rapid
spread and spontaneous support of the
open shop movement is but a natural
reaction to the extremes of conduct ami
assertion, local and national, of closed
shop unionists.
"A labor policy that is economically
unsound cannot long endure, for it can
only result in disaster to the industry
which attempts to maintain It.
final test of a labor policy is Its suc
in bringing about a higher degree
