"a. F. of L. News LetterJ


WASHINGTON, May 81. First
conditions in England and Canada was
impaired to nearly 200 unionists, SYM
pathizers and employers, members Of
the committee on labor of the advisory
commission, council of national de-
fense, at a meeting called by Presi-
dent Gompers, in the A. F. of L. build
ing, last Monday, to hear the story
from English and Canadian trade un-
ionists. These workers were sent to
America by their respective govern
ments on invitation of President Com
pers.
British conditions were explained by
Charles w. Bowerman, member of par
Lament and secretary of the British
Trades Union Congress, and James H.
Thomas, member of parliament and
general secretary of the National Un-
ion of Railwaymen of Great Britain
and Ireland. Canadian conditions were
treated by J. c. Waters, president of
the Trades and Labor Congress of
Canada and Gideon B. Robertson, SEN
ator, and vice president of the Order
of Railroad Telegraphers.
Women Receive Equal Pay.
Those in attendance manifested es-
pecial interest in English conditions,
and summarization of the talks by
Bowerman and Thomas shows:
A government act provides there
shall be no stoppage of work upon war
munitions and related industries. All
differences shall be arbitrated. Where
arbitration fails provision is made for
settlement by government machinery
in which the employees are represented
equally.
Women are employed where no men
are out of work. Women must receive
equal pay. Government agrees that
the places Of the men will be returned
to them after the war. There are L.
| $50 900 women in industry who hereto
fore were not engaged in manual la
| Dor. The women are joining the trade
union movement.
Munition workers are enrolled as
munition volunteers and are assigned
/ by the government TO various parts of
/ England. The highest wages of the
district they have left or in which they
are now employed, is paid. Every
fortnight the government gives them
free passes on railroads to visit their
| families, if away from home.
Consult Union Officials.
The fifty-one railroads in Great Bri-
| tain are under state control on the
basis of guaranteed profits of 1914
Some companies have turned back to
the government large sums of money
which is in excess of their 1914 profits
| Dock workers are enrolled in the
army as civilians, and wear the Brit
| ish uniform. These workers must be-
long to the union. and are modified
for the purpose of unloading cargoes

BRITISH AND CANADIAN ENJOYS HERE
DESCRIBE LABOR AND SOCIAL STATUS
Bowerman and Thomas of England and Waters of Canada
Explain in Detail the Rules Which Apply Men and
Women Employed in Munition Factories,
Docks and Railroads of Allies

in any section the government elects.
This system was evolved by Lord Kit
chener and trade union officials.
No move is made by the government
without consulting trade union Off
cials, many of whom are exempted
from military service.
Landlords are prohibited from rails
ing rents and the government prohibits
employers from reducing wages of
pensioned soldiers who have returned
to their former employment.
Wages have been increased in pro-
portion to the increased cost of living
When workers demand higher rates,
the first question asked is: What is
the increase in the cost of living"
That being ascertained it is added.
Labor Movement Grows.
The English trade union movement
has a larger membership than ever
before the war and it has surrendered
no standard definitely, altho some are
suspended for the time being.
The government has given pledge
to reinstate every trade union practice
now suspended.
The government joins with trade
unionists in their opposition to child
labor on the ground that if the war
were won under those conditions it
would be lost as future generations
would be destroyed.
While the English trade unionists
declined to predict future social con-
ditions after the war, they were most
optimistic. They declared it was i'm
possible for the millions Of men now
| fighting in the trenches of France and
Flanders - employer and employe,
from the mansion and even the slum-
to return to their homes without hav-
/ ing new viewpoints because of the
suff fferings and sacrifices Of themselves
and fellows.
Not So Advanced in Canada.
The Canadian trade union represen-
tatives said the Dominion government
has failed TO take organize labor into
its councils and the conditions the i'm
perial government insists on in Eng
land in the manufacture Of war muni-
tions are not insisted upon in Canada,
and that conditions related by the Eng
/ lish unionists have not been secured in
their country.
Other speakers includei trade un-
ionists and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and Daniel Guggenheim. The visitors
were questioned after the speaking.
The conference visited the White
House and paid their respects to Pres
ident Wilson. The chief executive, in
responding to an address by President
Gompers, dissented from those who ad-
lvocate setting aside labor laws because
of the war.
The British and Canadian labor en-
voys are this week visiting cities IT
the Middle West, and VIII return &c
New York Saturday, leaving soor
thereafter for their homes.

name of the men and women of labor.
The distinguished visitor is minister
of justice and vice president of the
French cabinet. He was minister of
labor in 1909 when President Gompers
visited various European countries.
In short address, Mr.. Niviana, who
spoke in French, said in part:
81 am very greatly honored by meet

In the course of my long career, in
my labor for the public, l was never
more happy than when / myself led in

department of labor for France, of

CHINA ABOUT To
ENTER INTO WAR
Complete Remission of Boxer
IndemnitieS is Offered the
Pekin Government.

WASHINGTON. March 3.-Nego-
tiations looking 10 China's entrance
into the war against the central pow
ers now are in progress at Picking
and in all the entente capitals il was
learned here Friday, and their sue
cess depends only upon the harmon
iZing of the rewards 70 be given China
with the amount of cooperation de-
manded of her. II is regarded as
practically certain that China will
sever connections with Germany.
and declaration of war probably will
follow if the entente will guarantee
satisfactory relaxation of the restric-
tions imposed upon the eastern en-
pire by the world powers after the
Boxer troubles.
Fects learned Friday from official
and diplomatic circles serve to clear
up much of the Obscurity which has
overhung events in the far east in
the past month. Occasional vague
dispatches from China and refer
ences in the reichstag Ia "China's
abandonment of neutrality" have
thrown only dim light upon Ger
many's endeavor to keep China out
of the struggle. the entente's moves
to bring her in, and China's reluct-
ance to change her present state Of
peace without adequate guarantees.
Wants mdemnities Back.
China desires to secure the com
plete remission of the Boxer indem-
mites which total over $3O.0OO,O00 a
year and continue until 1910.
If she entered the war. the part
which otherwise would be paid TO
Austria and Germany would be re-
pudiated. Information here indicates
that the entente already agreed TO
postpone payments in case China be-
gins hostilities, but does not corrobo-
rate Tientsin adVices that France and
Belgium, in behalf of the powers,
have offered complete remission.
The sum involved is such an ap-
/ preciable part of China's total eX-
penses that a satisfactory agreement
might well remove the financial diff
| fculties of the government.
China also desires consent of the
[ powers to increase her import duties
which under the existing treaty not
! only cannot exceed five percent ad
valOrem but are based on the aver
age prices OF 1897. 1898 and 1899.
The United States has long urged
this on the other 16 signatory pow
ers, but SO far only Japan and Great
/ Britain have given full consent.
| Others have consented under varying
extreme restrictions.
Anxious for China to- Get In.
The entente powers on their part
are anxious to have China in the
war, not only as "a reservoir of men,
/ hut as the biggest open trade market
after the war. Already, under agree
ment with local syndicates headed by
! French and British residents more
than 100000 Chinese laborers and
agriculturists have gone to increase
/ the entente's man power, the great
majority to France. IL has been the
drowning of many of these laborers
on their way to France on such boats
as the liner AthOl. for instance, that
/ first made China's protest to Ger
many against submarine warfare an
acutal threat of severance of rela-
/ tons
There are about 5000 Germans in
| China. who would be placed in con-
centration camps if war were de-
clared.
