they do not. and even where they
make a charge for neck-shaves the
price Is not UNIFORM, some asking s

I believe it is to the interest Of the
BARRIERS and their patrons as well that
we get together and agree on q uni

the best way to do this would be to
hold a convention and discuss this and
other matters Of interest to the craft.

Washington, March 14-Organized

members of the American Federation

members of the four big brotherhoods

subscription to the doctrine was an
nounced in 2,400-word pamphlet is
sued by the labor council which con-
cluded day and half session here
under President Samuel Gompers.
The big, significant phase of the
labor councils action, it was pointed
out by one of the highest authorities
in planning for national defense, is the
fact that Gompers is a member of the
official national defense council and
as such sits in conference with men,
bers of President Wilson's cabinet
and the nations biggest capitalists
when that body meets.
"Speak for Millions"
I'VE speak for millions of Ameri-
cans" the announcement begins
I'VE are not a sect. We are not a
party. We represent the organiza-
tons held together by the pressure of
our common needs. We represent the
part OF the nation closest to the fun
damentals of life. The power and use
OF industrial tools is greater than the
tools of war, and will in time super
sede engines of destruction. A world
war is on. Whether we approve it or
not we must recognize that war is a
situation with which we must reckon"
Problems Different.
The pamphlet then goes on to point
out that new methods and tactics of
modern war present problems vastly
different from those of past wars.
In no previous war; reads a Dor
ton, "has the organized labor move
ment taken directing part.
Labor has now reached an under
standing of it's rights, of it's power and
resources and must make
definite constructive proposals.
Obligation of Service.
Labor demands, it is stated, the
right in war times to be the recog-
nized defender of wage earners
against the same forces that in pre-
vious wars have made national neces-
sity an excuse for ruthless methods.
Heretofore, it is declared, labor has
borne the brunt of wars terrOrS and
depri7ations.
industrial justice is the right of
those living within our country" the
statement continues. ''Within this
right there is associated obligation.

form of service in defense of the Re.
public against enemies"
