SHIPPING MEN Agree
TO SUSPEND unions
Labor Leaders Accept Proposal to
Rush Manning Ships.

The policy of the United States to
man American ships with alien mas
ters, and to disregard all unions in
the manning of ships, was laid down
as final yesterday at a conference
between Secretary of Labor Wilson,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield, men,
bers Of the Shipping Board. repre-
sentatives of vessel owners and of
seamen and masters.
The necessity of getting men to take
out Amerisan ships was declared to
be vital, by Secretary Redfield, who
declared that a delay of one day in
getting one ship cleared from an
American port might mean the loss
of 1,50a lives in France
Representatives of labor acquiesced
in the proposal to employ any labor
that might be had. regardless Of
whether the men belonged to unions.
They also agreed to make no trouble
when foreign masters were named to
take out American vessels.

lowing a day of excitement as a re-
suit of the lynching by a party of
masked men. of Frank H. Little, l.
w. w. leader.
The city has been shut up tight
tonight Every saloon and restau-
rant is dark. Every person in the
city has been warned by the authori-
ties to stay indoors. Windows are
barred and shuttered. Armed police
and vigilantes are patrolling the
streets. Other 1. w. w. agitators
have appealed for protection.
Little was taken from his room in
the Steele block, adjoining the l. w.
w. headquarters at Sim Hall. before
dawn this morning. by a party of
masked and armed men. He was
thrown into an automobile and taken
to the Milwaukee Railroad Bridge. in
the outskirts of the city. After a des-
perate struggle. a rope was looped
around his neck and he was thrown
over the side of the bridge. His body,
clothed only in underwear, was dis
covered late in the morning by a
searching party, after his absence
from his room was disclosed.
Frightened but furious. I. W. W.
agitators here are undecided whether
to, carry on the fight or flee this sec
ton for their own safety. Notified
by telegram of Little's lynching.
Haywood has promised that all the
resources Of the organization will be
thrown into the search for his mur-
derers.
The authorities for the moment are
in control, but the situation has such
serious possibilities that the city is
likely at any time to be declared
under martial law. Troops are con-
stantly arriving. A through wire to
Helena is keeping the governor ad-
vised of every development. Gunmen
hired by the mine owners carried out
the lynching, the I. W.. W.'s charge
They are demanding blood for blood.
Little, who only last Sunday at a

was found hanging by the neck, his
feet Ave feet from the ground.

Additional Levy Necessary
to Raise New Quota Of
ITO Per Cent.

1t will take more than 5,o0o men
to get the Districts quota Of no per
cent of 1.O22 men for the conscript
army.
This fact was apparent last night
after the eleven district exemption
boards had been examining sppli-
cants and had checked up on the
results.
The returns from District No.
can be cited as typical of the whole
city in compiling an average. They
are: Called 80. appeared "A, aliens 5,

emption q, accepted s. rejected 10,

Hundreds are claiming exemption
and whether or not their claims will
be granted is a question. Unoficially
it was stated by a number of chair
men of the exemption boards that at
least 50 per cent of the claims will
be rejected.
Hundreds of letters are on file from
wives who oppose exemption claims
of their delinquent husbands.
In exemption district No. ;. which
was the first in the United States to
organize, the 1S2 applicants all sum-
moned in the first draft group had
been examined when the board ad-
journed last night. OF the last
ninety-one examined, twenty-four
were accepted as physically fit. The
second group has been ordered 70

Gen. Crowder's Statement.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder yes
terday issued this statement on the
work of the District boards:
ITO District boards will be en-
trusted the solution of one of the
most vital problems of the war. Two
things are to be accomplished-tc
raise armies-to maintain industries
AS the war proceeds. more and more
men will be required for the battle
line and yet there are certain in
dustries that must be- maintained tc
the end. Any considerable dirntnutior
of man power must interfere to some
extent with industry. The diminu'
ton must be made. hence 1t is self
evident that the problem is moi
absolutely to prevent interference
with industry, for that Is impossible
it is to reduce interference to q
minimum A balance must be struck
and maintained between the military
and the industrial needs of the ma
ton and the necessary sacrifice must
be distributed with scienc</ and ac-
curacy, and in such way as TO ac'
complish both purposes OF the ma
ton.
The very statement of the problem
demonstrates most forcibly that ir
making this economic balance, that
it is the interest of the nation solely
that must be subserved."
