Business Men Invite Help
of Labor to Prevent Tie-Up
of U. S. Supplies for War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY. September 21.-
Following a stirring speech late yester-
day by Secretary of Labor Wilson, the
industrial relations section of the war
convention. adopted resolutions invit-
ing cooperation OF labor with industry
in assuring the government that pro-
lection of war supplies viii not be
halted by strikes.
Secretary Wilson declared that the
spirit of unrest among laboring men
was due in a large measure to the gen.
eral impression that business has been
making excessive profits in which la
Dor has not shared.
HAS it never occurred TO you bust
ness men," Secretary Wilson asked,
that the story has gone forth that you
are not patriotic; that you have been
proflteering? And did il never occur to
you that the working man has said to
himself he will insist on getting his
share of the swag? Ny position is that
there should be no 'Swag to divide be-
tween YOU.
Il have said to Ia Dor that this is no
time to insist on union recognition, and
no time to insist on changes in labor
standards. but. l also want to say to
stand your prejudiceS, no time to
insist on profiteering. You should not
take advantage of your country's ne
cessities to insist on abnormal profits
at this time.
Evening star., 1917-09-21
Terms of Resolutions.

The attitude of industry toward labor
as defined in the resolutions approved
is follows:
That attempts be made by bust
ness to change labor conditions and that
Ia Dor make no efforts to force union
recognition or changes in standards.
That there be no prDtfJeerIng in
business to give rise to labor unrest.
defined in the resolutions approved
That business recommend to the gov
ernment creation of d government
board, representing labor, capital and
the public. to settle all major disputes,
and that the board S decisions be bind
ing on both sides.
THAT industry call on labor to CO
operate in making it plain there Will
be no strikes while adjustments are
being made.
cies be developed and extended by con
/ gFessional appropriation.
That industry institute study of
conditions looking toward the alievi-
alton of conditions during times of in
duStrial depression"
As originally drawn the resolution,
in the opinion of some members of the
conference. sought to dictate to labor
/ in demanding compulsory arbitration
of disputes. This suggestion was OPP
posed vigorously that as the rcsolu-
tions were approved they leave it to
la bor voluntarily to submit differences
TO the adjustment board that would be
created.
We are not here" r. 6. Rheett Of
Charleston. S. G., president of the
! Chamber of Commerce of the United
. States, declared, ''to say what either
labor or capital shall 10 For us to
presume that would be to miss the en-
lire spirit of this convention. We are
here to improve conditions, not to die

Unable to Select Men.

Nobody knows the trouble I see"
might well be the song of local board
draft officials these days. Question after
question arises day by day and so close
have the certifications of men back from
the District board to the local boards
been that, try as they may, the boards
are barely coming out even in select
ing their first 45 per cent men. and in
the cases instanced have as yet been
unable to select their men.
As an example of the difficulty faced
by some of the boards Chairman

Hurry Morton Sponable. accepted for
service. has enlisted in the Aviation
Corps, Chairman Chance is advised by
Army officers.
Sponsable has been notified by Chair
man Chance that he should report for
service. and that, having been ac-
cepted by the local board. he knows
of no authority under the law by which
he could be enlisted in any branch of
the service. Chairman Chance does not
believe he states in the communication
to Mr.. Donovan, that Sponsable will
reuort for service
