Seattle and the American Plan Fights Radicalism in Labor
The essay portrays Seattle as the birthplace of the American Plan open shop approach to labor, led by the Associated Industries of Seattle under Frank Waterhouse. It argues unions were hijacked by radical elements who used a February 1919 general strike to threaten revolution, while open-shop policies restored production, minimized strikes, and protected both employers and workers with fair practices and wage committees.
