County mines have never had a closed shop contract.
“Under a clesed shop agreement
no one could be employed or continue
tn employment at the mines unless
he be a member, or immediately becomes and remains a paid up member of the Mine Workers Protective

reads: “‘even though he might prefer
to join some other union, or no unia closed shop contract.
“Under an exclusive bargaining
agency agreement,*such as the league
has had for two years, the employers
force fo one to join any union as
the price of his job, but recognize
the league as sole authority to bargain for its members, and agree to
recognize no other union as a bargaining agency for employees.
“We publish this explanation to
ist as to .the difference between
“closed shop’’ and “exclusive bargaining agency.”’
