the listeners, and handled their sub
jects in truly masterful style. Each
speaker was especially strong In sum
ming up In a clear way the points
made by his associates. In this way
the debate, and the Issues Involved
were easily followed. The Nebraska
debaters were as follows: Louts B.
Finkelstein. Law '22; E. T. Grether,
22, and Cecil C. Strlmple, Law '22.
The negative side of the question was
upheld by the following students from
Iowa: Lewis V. Sharp, Cloyce K. Hus
ton and Fred O.'Taulson.
The Nebraska speakers summed up
their arguments in favor of the closed
shop by Baying that it was "just, neces
sary, anC "afe." The negative speak
ers on the other hand maintained that
a closed shop policy would restrict in
dividual freedom, would lesson produc
tion, and would be much inferior to a
plan of a Works Council which thev
proposed as a substitute.
Louis Finkelstein, in maintaining
that the closed shop was a just plan,
said that although only union men
were employed that the union itself
was open to all workers without preju
dice. He gave as his reasons (1) that
it would stabilize industry by lessening
Jabor turnover, by decreasing dissen
sion in the shops, by preventing strikes
and the losses which are cansel by
strikes. His arguments showed that
labor turnovers in some plants have
run as high as 250 per cent while an
annual loss of over two hundred million
dollars is caused. He outlined as the
three main causes of strike, no recog
wages and unreasonable hours, all of
nition of the union, unreasonable
which he claimed would be done away
with under the closed shop.
The second Nebraska speaker in
claiming the closed shop was necessary
stated that without it. labor would not
receive a fair living wage because col
lective bargaining which could be
backed by force would no longer exist.
He said that the keeping of collective
bargaining was essential to the labor
union and that the advent of individual
bargaining would mean the downfal!
of the employe. '
Strimple, in closing the affirmative ;
argument pointed out that the closed
shop was safe not only for the em-'
plover but for the public. He showed
that employers may employ non-union i
workers in emergencies and may dis
charge union men for incompetence.
He said that here was no danger of a
labor monopoly endangering the inter- j
ests of the public.
The outline of the plan for the opera-'
tion of the "Works Council" by the ;
third negative speaker proved interest- i
ing to the audience. He would estab-
lish a council with equal representa- ;
tion of the workers and the employer
to meet at the conference board to
discuss all questions pertaining to the
welfare of both. In case of disagree- i
I'ment at any of the monthly meetings,

party. These two men are privileged
to select a third arbitrator if neces
sary and this decision is absolutely
Anal. Mr. Paulson claimed that the
plan had been tried in war time and

stated that it increased efficiency, pro
moted co-operation without the loss ot
industrial justice.
The rebuttals of all six speakers
were clear and especially brilliant.
Mauy of the similes and figures used
by the men drew laughs from the
audience and the ready responses of
the debators to questions waa the sub
ject of a great deal of praise. The
Nebraska negative team debated the
Iowa affirmative team on the same
question at Iowa City last night.
