Open Shop Policy Criticized by Washington Gas Light Stockholders
A circular from the Improvers' Association of the Building Trades of DC attacks Washington Gas Light Company for bias against open shop contractors. It cites a gasometer bid where the lowest bidder using open-shop labor was barred, arguing the policy harms fair competition and risks the utility's interests.
