Washington. - American organized
labor has been. in effect, pledged to
a full and loyal support of the United
States government In the war with
Germany by Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation Of
Labor, in a report and recommends.
lions In his capacity as a member Of
the advisory commission Of the Ma
tional Council Of Defense to that
body.
The recommendations were unani-
mously approved and adopted by the
council and advisory commission. &C.
cording to official announcement
handed out by the national council.
Gompers is chairman Of the com
mittee on labor of the advisory CON-
mission. and his report urges EN-
ployes and employers not to seize
upon the nations present needs to
change existing standards OF employ
ment- The far-reaching effect OF this
attitude on the part of the two big
elements OF industry, should 1t be sue
cessfully carried out. Is obvious.
The full text of the resolutions OF
Gompers and his committee, as ap-
proved. reads:
"The defense and safety Of the ma
ton must be the first consideration
Of all patriotic citizens. To avoid
confusion and to facilitate the prep
aration for national defense. and give
q stable basis upon which the repre-
sentatives OF the government may
operate during the war, we recon-
mend:
THAT the Council of National De
Tense should issue a statement to the
employers and employees in our indus
trial plants and transportation sys'
tens, advising that neither employers
o employees shall endeavor to take
advantage OF the country's necessities
to change existing standards. When
economic or other emergencies arise
requiring changes OF standards, the
same should be made only after such
proposed changes have been investi
gated and approved by the Council Of
National Defense.
"That the Council of National De
Tense urge upon the legislatures o.
the states, as we'll A. all adnlinistra
tive agencies charged with the en-
forcement of labor and health laws
the great duty of vigorously maintain
ing the existing safeguards as to thu
health and welfare of workers, AMI
that no departure from such presen
standards, In state laws or state rui
ings affecting labor should be take,
without declaration Of the Council o
National Defense that such departur,
is essential for the effective pursui
of the national defense.
THAT the Council of National DE-
Tense urge upon the legislatures o
the several states that before final ad
journment they delegate to the gov
errors of their respective states tn
power to suspen or modify restric
tons contained in their labor laws
when such suspension or modification
shall be requested by the Council Q

pension or modification, when made

FLAT ROCK NEWS.

The commencement exercises of the
Flat Rock graded school were held
from April 18th to 21st inclusive. The
address was given Thursday evening
by Hon. J. G. Pritchard, Judge of the
u. s.. supreme court. His address
which was humorous instructive, and
deeply interesting was mostly advice
to parents n teachers on child
training and community up-buiIding.
He had a large attentive audience.
Friday evening was devoted to the
primary and intermediate grades and
to the two contests. The first grade
| pupils presented ""Tom Thumbs We'd
ding" in a very interesting and i'm
pressive manner. After this came the
defamation contest in which William
Slattery won the E. T. Pinckney med
al. Next came the minuet by the in
termediate grades. Following this,
was the recitation contest in which
there was some misunderstanding as
to whether Viola HoIlingsWorth or
Louise Perry won thu medal. 1t has
been decided to give both of them a
medal. At the time of the contest
the medal was presented to Viola Hol-
lingsworth by Mr., S. NJ. Garren, donor
of the medal.
On Saturday evening the high school
pupils gave a play entitled, "The Call
of the Flag" The Parent-Teachers
Association secured the orchestra
from Hendersonville to furnish music.
Everyone became patriotic and willing
to follow the flag.
The Parent-Teachers' Association
held a meeting Monday. April % for
the purpose of organizing the girls of
the flower club into two sections.
This was done and each section was
assigned a portion of the school
ground to beautify. They also decid-
ed to furnish floats for the county
commencement parade. Their efforts
in this respect were not in vain for
through them Flat Rock presented a
good appearance.
The Flat Rock section of the parade
was led by persons On horse back rep
resenting Miss Columbia and Uncle
Sam. Next a float decorated in orange
and black, the school cOlors, contain
ing representative members of the as
ISOLATION. Following this was a float
decorated in red, white and blue con-
tanning sailor lads with flags. Last
but not least in IMPORTANCE came a
float draped in white with red crosses
scattered here and there containing a
little wounded soldier and two little
red-cross nurses. Next came the line
of march led by little red cross
nurses!
Although Flat Rock pupils won. few
prizes in the contests, we are proud OF
the fact that they entered almost
every contest and that the contestants
presented their pieces we'll.

ments, unerring balance and sensitive
controls, is an extremely complicated
affair and it's construction is a matter
of months.
Just now the single seat fighting
scout is the machine Of the hour.
Such machines must stand the terrific
strain of fighting tactics-rolling,
looping, nose diving, side slipping. 1t
is no unusual thing nowadays to see
a. pilot seemingly fall out of control,
1000 feet or more, then fattening out
and sailing s~erenely away. The strain
OF this maneuver is tremendous.
The Associated Press correspond
ent has talked with many British fly
ing officers of distinction and all
agreed that the only way to train
men for war flying is in actual fight
ing. They frankly say that in this
way many men may be lost, but that
those who survive are worth their
weight in gold and prove brilliant
fight and squadron leaders.
Officers of the British flying corps
say that America must be prepared
to pay such a price; that she must
remember this when the losses be-
gin to mount up. She must expect.
they say. that out of these losses will
come those who will reflect glory upon
her colors and lend brilliance to the
brightest pages of her history.

1t is generally agreed that the SER

Already plans are making to in
