The resolution on labor supply
commission, introduced by Vice Pres
ident ash A. Duncan, is regarded as
important as it deals particularly with
the shipbuilding and metal trades, and
in measure outlines what union labor
will ask as guarantee to the safe
guard of its members during period
of close co operation with the federal
government.
The resolution provides that the
unions furnish the men required, on
request of companies, "as far as pos
sible," and that the union shall also
furnish instructors to train men for
emergency service as they may be
required.

to seize millions of dollars of German

Lenine and Trotzky upon the high

Capt. |. P. Baker has assumed his

Capt Baker has found nothing but
patriotic willingness on the part OF

1t is hoped that the people of North
