Open shop debate and tariff talk in the week
The piece notes that chauffeurs’ union members may target advocates of open shop. It mentions aviation speed and safety issues, a Chicago waiter with 25 000 in tips, and shock at a bank currency bill requiring one percent interest for depositories. It adds that Wade Ellis of Ohio handles the tariff plank for the Chicago convention. General Hancock calls tariff a local issue but the upcoming convention may present it as a multi local matter.
