Declines To Let Open Shop Shape His Official Life
F G Swanson, a candidate for state representative, visited the city to discuss his campaign and the open shop. He said he never joined nor would join the open shop association and favored individual judgment over collective action. He argued strikes are last resort and often harmful, citing postal workers and teachers salary issues. He opposed strikes against the government and recalled drafting a federation provision against such actions. He noted the Wichita Falls plumbers strike as a cautionary example of failed compromise. Finally an ad notes White Produce Co. buying chickens and eggs at highest market price from their North Main Street location.
