Representatives Of Pacific Coast
Unions Trying to Adjust
Wage Scale.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-J. A.
Taylor Of Seattle and Portland, rep
resenting the Machinists; Dan P. Nc
Killop Of Seattle, representing the
Boilermakers, and George Sanfarcon
of San Francisco, representing the
Carpenters, arrived in Washington
last Saturday, as spokesmen of the
crafts employed in shipyards along
the Pacific coast from San Francisco
to Seattle, in the attempt to adjust
their wage scale and prevent discrim-
ination against union membership.
They went into conference -immedi
ately with the national adjustment
board for the shipyards, consisting of
V. Everit Macy, representing the gov
ernment; Alfred J. Berres, secretary
Of the Metal Trades Department of
the A. r. of L., and Mr.. Garry of
Chicago, representing the employers.
Vice Chairman Stevens of tho Ship
ping Board was also there.
The dispute involves about 100000
men. all of them union members. 1t
was because these men had taken q
vote to strike, and were to have gone
out on Aug. II, that the tabor
treaty" covering all work in ship
yards during the war, was hastened
to signature by the Shipping Board.
The members of the national adjust
ment board for this industry realize
and the heads of the international
unions also believe, that the extern
sion of the field of agreements be-
tween organized labor and the gov
ernment, during the war, will depend
on how we'll the board can dispose
of this first big case.
No Immediate Action.
No immediate decision is expected.
The board is informally meeting to
hear the side of the crafts in the
yards. It will also hear the side of
the employers. It will then hear
from the Shipping Board as to the
public interest involved. After some
discussion it will hold a formal meet
ing and try to reach decision as to
what conditions and what rates of
pay shall be maintained in the indus
try.
Similar hearings have been given
the representatives of the $4,000
strikers and their former employers
in the shipyards along the New York
waterfront, and the ship filters and
riveters from a shipyard at Whining
ton, Del, who have been on strike for
three weeks past. Decisions have
not vet been made.

Of news dispatches during the deporta-
tion of I. w. w. workers, a news serv-
i've has asked the attorney generals
Of the United States and Arizona to
begin prosecution.
Regarding this action. The New
York Evening Post says:
1--WE have had all sorts of lawless-
ness lately in America, I. w. W., gu
bernatorial, mob violence, and delib-
crate mob murder, but for brazenness
nothing surpassed the way in which
these Phelps, Dodge & Co., officials
undertook to enforce a private little
censorship of their own, that their
misdeeds might not be brought to the
attention of the American people.
$50 far, if we are. correctly in
formed, the company has allowed them
to continue in it's employ. Naturally,
the necessity of official action is en-
hanced by this failure to realize what
the situation calls for, and by the
enormity of the offense.
"This war must be fought by the
American people with understanding
and as much knowledge of the truth
as war permits. To allow such gross
violation of public. policy and the law
as this at Bisbee to go unpunished,
would be inexcusable."

(By SAMUEL GOMPERS.)

Deportations are ordinarily associ-
ated with policies to exclude unGesir-
able aliens from country or with acts
OF war. Within our country it is il
legal to deport citizens from the COM
munlty or state in which they have the
lawful right to be, yet twice within the
last month we have been shocked by
violent deportations of citizens from
two states. These deportations have
occurred within states which assure
constitutional guarantees of rights to
citizens. These state guarantees are
reinforced by guarantees under the
FEDERAL constitution and by clause in
that constitution which guarantees to
states the maintenance of republican
constitutions. In all the United States
there is no law or power investing any,
one with grant Of authority providing
Tor the exile of any person. These out
RACES are made doub!y deplorable by
the fact that they occur when our ma
ton is engaged in war to maintain
human rights and freedom for all ma
tions.
The labor policies of the copper minc
operators of Arizona and New Mexico
have long been familiar. Their desire
to maintain low wages and cheap
labor production has been based upon

Yet these men were taken from their
homes, separated from their wives and
children, forced to leave their houses

the indignities that would scarcely be

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The war
tax bill is back in tho hands of the
house following its passage Monday
night by tie senate. The measure pas
sed the house May %, and now goes
to conference. The senate added more
than $500,0co,0O to the bill.
It is hoped that the differences be-
tween tie two houses may be settled
within two weeks. after which the
bill will be laid before President Will
son for his signature.
The senate approved the bill 50 to
4, the negative votes being cast by
Senate s Borah, Gronna, La Toilette
and Norris. The action came after the
high tax group had again sought in
vain to secure the adoption of Sel.ator
La Follette's substitute to raise $780,
100000 more taxes.
AS the bill now stands it totals
about $4,000 100000. OF the total
$S42,200,000 is to be raised by levies
on incomes, corporate and individual
and $1,000, 100000 from war profits.
L,vies c. liquor, tobacco and public
utilities will make up most of the re-
mainder.
Tie senate at the last minute
struck out all provisions of the con-
sumption tax, on sugar, tea, coffe and
cocoa and the special levies or pub
fishers and postage increases. It also
eliminated proposals for repeal of the
sugar "drawbacks' and additional in
heritance taxes. Provisions for free
transportation of letters from Ameri-
can soldiers abroad and for a one-cent
stamp tax on parcel post packages
were retained.

conference and ordered the contractors
to have no more dealings with the car

Secretary Wilson Would Estab'
hsh National Employment
Service; Settle Disputes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Secre-
tary Of Lator Wilson is beginning his
annual struggle to get sufficient money
to develop the bureaus of his depart-
ment to meet immediate needs. He
is having his usual ill-luck with Chair
man Fitzgerald of the house commit
tee on ap. ropriations. The report Of
the hearings given by the committee,
during the summer, to the heads of de-
partments asking for items in the big
appropriation bill that is now before
the house has just been made public.
1t shows that Secretary Wilson is ask
ing for $750,000 for national en-
ployment service, and $150,O00 for
commissioners Of conciliation.
Work Effective.
The work of the conciliators during
the past year has been remarkably
effective. 1t is to be credited with the
settlement, on terms satisfactory to
the men, of scores of important dis
jl5f Orr r-ise easstra + Pennsylvania,
involving $4,000 coal miners, and one
in Alabama, invol ing 10000 coal
miners, may be credited chiefly to the
secretary, as direct spokesman for this
conciliation service. There was also
settled the dispute of 100000 shopmen
with the southeastern railways. and
the strike in the fishing industry at
Gloucester, Mass. These are but a
few of the prominent ones.
Whether the employment service
will be given sufficient funds this year
is doubtful. Labor is scarce now,
and the average congressman will
argue that it is useless to spend money
on hunting jobs for men when en-
ployers are fairly ready to kidnap o
them to get them to work. Later,
when labor is plenty, they will argue
that the government cant make
work."
Secretary Wilson admitted, in july,
that his conciliation commissioners
had been unable to settle the troubles
in Butte and in Arizona, but he was
still hopeful that they might succeed.
