There was no discrimination against either unionist or non-unionist at “open shops” which was the great thing about them. Merritt believed closed shops “means closing the doors of industry to all but union men and closing transportation and the markets of the nation to all but union goods”(16). Merritt felt closed shops left people no choice but to join unions.…

The thing that made that group so terrible to work with was their dive and ambition to be more that what we were at the time.…
