W0rkmen Who Visited

Making of Munitions

GLASGOW. June 1--we have re-
turned from the front determined to do
our best and to persuade our fellow
workmen to do their best to turn out
munitions at top speed" is the mes
sage party of skilled craftsmen have
brought back, after a visit to the Brit
ish forces in Flanders, where every
opportunity was afforded them to see
the war in all its stages.
The result apparently has justified
the unique experiment undertaken by
a large firm engaged in the production
of ammunition here. which found that
its output was falling considera bl v
short of the capacity of the plant. The
firm, convinced that its employees were
not giving their best services, obtained
permission from the government to
send eight of its men to France to see
for themselves the conditions under
which the British army is fighting.
According to the mems report, hun

for more shells.

workers" said a member of tho firm
"and I am satisfied that the result will

British Seek to Place
Canadian Workers in
Munitions Factories

LONDON. June 18.-The British
board OF trade has sent a mission to
Canada to arrange to bring unem-
ployed skilled mechanics to England
SO far as 1t can be done without In
terfering with Canadian government
contracts. according to an announce
ment made in the house of commons
today by Walter RuEciman. president
of the board OF trade.
Mr.. Runciman added that the men
would be required to accept the same
pay as British workmen on similar
work. No official steps had been taken,
he said, to obtain woakmen from other
British dominions or from the United
States.
Asked whether in view OF the great
number of skilled mechanics in the
United States, IT would not be advis-
able to try to induce some Of them to
come here to assist in making war
material. Mr.. Runciman replied that
he was not sure the United States au-
thorities would welcome such a mis-
sion. but he said the shortage Of me
chanics here had been made well
known in America.

PROPOSED BILL FIXES
PROFITS ON OUTPUT
Measure of Official Countenance to
Trades Unions Such as Never
Enjoyed Is Seen.

LONDON. June 1s.-The greatest in
terest is being manifested in the labor
for munitions bill' which David Lloyd
George, the minister of munitions. will
introduce in the house of commons
next Wednesday,.
In addition to the provisions of the
measure already described the bill will
provide for munition courts or com
mittees composed of equal numbers of
representatives of employers and
workmen who are to be elected by
each side and a president nominated
by the minister of munitions. The
court will be empowered to punish
by small fines offenses by ordinary
munitions workmen which tend to
hinder production. but they will not
have the power to punish by imprison-
ment
Will Attach Surplus Profit.
The employers will be allowed to
take profits for their output on an
average of the profits of the previous
three years plus one-flfth of that aver
age and an allowance for depreciation
of machinery. Any surplus profit will
be attached by the government. The
bill will be operative only for the
duration of the war. after which all
ante-war conditions will be entirely
restored.
The Times commenting on these pro-
visions says:
The scheme is one of the most re-
markable in the history of labor legis-
lation. 1t will give a measure of Off
cial countenance to trades unions such
as they never enjoyed before In fact.
they will gain power not enjoyed in
Britain since the heyday of medieval
guilds. The trade union leaders will
almost certainly embark upon the
scheme willingly and do their utmost
| to make it a success. knowing that
compulsion.''
David Lloyd George is urged by the
Post in an editorial to make every ef-
fort to place the munitions industry
on a basis whereby England can sup
ply all her own needs in war material
Objects to Profit Going to U. S.
"If the profits of our manufacturers

be spent among Englishmen, while

1t had been expected and announced
that the foreign pastor of Westmin-
star church, Rev. DR.. ]. ]. Lucas of
Allahabad would be in the city today
and for few days following, accom-
panied by Mrs. Lucas. Word was re-
ceived early in the week that his plan
had been sadly interrupted by the
death of the brother Of Mrs. Lucas,
with whom they were visiting in
Creswell, Oregon. He was on his way
to church last Sunday morning when
the auto in which he and four others
were riding was struck by railway
train, and all the occupants OF the
auto were killed.
Word has been received that DR..
Lucas will be here for Sunday, May
8, but no word as to the day of his
arrival, and suggestion that Mrs.
Lucas would probably not be with
him. The plans for reception to
them By Westminster church are
waiting further word. The visit will
necessarily be clouded by this sorrow,
and the social features Of it cannot be
emphasized to the extent that had
been expected.

MEN NOT SATISFIED
WITH THE AWARD
But Will Accept Although They Claim
the Cards Were Stacked Be-
for the Game.

United Press Leased Wire SerVlceI
CHICAGO, May Arbitration as
a means of settling disputes between
capital and labor has received one OF
the greatest blows in its history"
That is the opinion of Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, as ex-
pressed tonight after it was agreed
to accept the award of the arbitration
board in teh dispute between ninety
eight western railways and their 65,-
900 employees.
1.-The principles Of fair arbitration
said Stone, ARE good, but this wasn't
arbitration. However. we're going
to accept the award. But somebody
is going to answer to these $4,000
men for the appointment of Chas. D.
Nagel of ST. Louis, as one of the neu-
trail arbitrator. We're going to
know who is responsible for his Sc
lection as neutral arbitrator. If
it was the board of mediation and
conciliation-well and good. If it
was President Wilson-well and good,
but we're going to know.
1.-The cards were stacked against
the otherhoods in this case from
start to finish. It's no uncommon
thing for a judge to be impeached
when it is proven he has financial IN
terest in cases he decides or tries to
decide. It's one of the first things
they ask a juror. Yet in this case,
with $4,000 men affected instead of
one or two or five, man sat on that
board as a neutral arbitrator, who
himself was holder of railway Sc
curities and closely connected with
railway interests all his life"
Stones views were echoed by
other labor leaders. many of whom
were even more bitter than the en-
gineer's chief ...
Regarding the future arbitration
as means of settling disputes,
Stone was undecided. The men, he
said, were very bitter in this case.
Whether they would consent to arbi-
tration after this, he did not know.
But I can tell you one thing" he
said. Before we accept arbitration
again we are going to know that the
cards aren't stacked against us be-
fore we sit in. come from the
try-and we have few shorter and
uglier words for what we received in
this case.
we re llCheu ali right, anu wei
going to accept this award. but there
will be a different story to tell the
next time we sit in q game like this
Charles D. Nagel resented the crit
cism directed at him by the heads of
the labor unions. The criticism, he
declared. was the only phase of the
matter he would discuss and that was
unfair, unjust and rnwarranteu.
90 MORT nf fha n1an of p1yh1fc-
ity used in such Matters he de-
clared, land means nothing besides
that"
w. l.. Park, vice president of the
Illinois Central, declared the rail-
ways regarded the award as being
liberal with the men. He did not re-
gard the matter as satisfactorily ad-
iusting questions of Standardization.
