forcement of labor and health laws, the great duty of vigorously matn- taining the existing safeguards as to the health and welfare of the workers, and that no departure from such pres ent standards in State laws and State rulings affecting labor should be taken without declaration of the Council of National Defense that such de- parture is essential to the effective pursuit of the national defense.'
 It also admonishes labor in the fol- lowing:
 Tt believes, however, that no arbi- trary change in wages should be sought at this time by either employ CTS or employees through the process of strikes or lockouts without at least giving the established agencies, in- cluding those of the several States and of the Government and of the Mediation Board in the Transporta- tion Service, and the Division of Con- ciliation of the Department of Labor in the industries. an opportunity to adjust the difficulties without the stop page of work occurring.

2. That labor organizations and locals might take advantage of the pressing need for labor to insist upon increases in pay and changes in exist ing standards which only the Nations need for industrial peace could be said to excuse.
 3. That war prices might bring about so wide a discrepancy between wages and living costs that hunger, rioting and general discontent would utterly disorganize industry.
 4. That any or all of these condi- tions might be made the foundation by traitorously bent clements for a movement which would result in a lack of national unity in prosecuting the war"
 The members of the Council de- clare that they are prepared to meet the first three, and that the fourth can be settled by an active cooperation through the Food Control Bill. set of resolutions approved Of by the Council of National Defense has been spread broadcast both in reference to capital and labor.

thousands of men of every trade are busily engaged in building canton ments (which are in reality small cities), to house our men in their training for the trenches. Thousands of others are turning out aeroplanes, ships and arms to help win the war. All labor has been put to work, and whether a man is a butcher or baker or candlestick maker" he is playing his part as an American citizen to help win the war.
 Mir. Sullivan's Views.
 MT. James w. Sullivan. of New York, MT. Gompers' right hand man on the Committee on Labor, recently gave .out an interview which shows very clearly how labor stands on the helping win -the-war question. Mr. Sullivan has spent years In investigat- ing the labor conditions both in this country and abroad and Is regarded as an authority on the subject. He has assisted both in settling and pre- venting strikes and various labor trou- bles. One of the most recent being the so-called anti-conscription organ ization in New York. which sought to convey the idea that the labor leaders were supporting the movemen MT. Sullivan promptly called on the or

SMALL ENTRY LIST IN HARTFORD RACES Grand Circuit Shifts Again. Few of Heat Races
 Entered

Hartford, Conn, September 2.-The smallest entry list in years will face the starter in the grand circuit meeting which opens tomorrow under the auspices of the Connecticut Fair association at Charter Oak park. and continues through Friday. The five days of racing is di- vided between the mile and half tracks, the twice around being used Tuesday and Friday, an experiment that was made for the first time last year.
 There are 15 races on the five-day card, for which purses amounting to $21 700 have been offered. Walter Cox. the vet eran New England driver. has only two horses entered. the Savoy in the 2:04 pace, and Mabel Trask in the free-f for-all trot.
 The 2:O4 pace, the opening event of the meeting, has four entries, with a purse of S1200. the starters being Peter Pointer, The Savoy, Butte Hale and Ben Ali
 St. Frisco and Mabel Trask. who met at Poughkeepsie last week in the race in which the bay stallion set two new worlds records for stallions. will clash again in the freefor-all trot tomorrow, along with Royal Mac and Al Mack.

antee against strikes but they will do all in their power to settle any labor troubles amicably and at once. The recent strike of the Chicago switch men which threatened to tie up freight and hinder the sending of war ma terial and food caused no little anxiety for time, as did the strikes in the copper mines in the far West. But after a time these were settled. Other threatened strikes were prevented by the cooler heads of labor organizations who finally persuaded the men that strikes would embarrass the work of the Government at this time. Pro- German influence has been found at work in many of the organizations trying to foment trouble. and as far as possible this elem ent has been weeded out or relegated to the back seats in labor organizations.
 In war and in it's preparation the laboring man plays a most important part--in fact, war could not be car- ried on without his aid, for the build ing of cantonments. the making of amm unition, guns and clothing is just as much a part of war as the actual firing of guns. The Government must depend on the laboring man to furnish the sincws of war and is willing to pay him fair price for his labor. To-day

Naturally, they are de- termined to protect the right of labor should an attempt be made to impose on these rights, but so far there has been little clash.
 Labor Troubles That Were Feared.
 The developments expected and feared at the present time by the members of the Council are as fol- lows:
 l. That some employers might take advantage of an apparent need for speeding up production to break down the legislative and industrial safe guards with which labor has sur rounded itself in State and Nation

Prosperity and Decrease
 In Crime Causes Great Decrease in State C0nvicts

Montgomery, September 2.-fSpecial.) Alabama's prosperity and decrease in crime have caused the state convict de- rartment to face serious proposition it cannot supply the. demand for convict labor For the first time in three years the number of state convicts has dropped below 5000 and contractors from all sec- tion of Alabama are calling for men, but they cannot be supplied,
 Several causes are given for the de. crease in convicts. Decrease in crime, due to the prosperous condition of the country, and to the elimination of tie liquor traffic is supposed to be the major cupses. Another is that shsriffs are re-

ganization for the names of the labor leaders who were supporting the cause. They were never forthcoming, for as a matter of fact no labor leader in the United States would think of supporting the plans of agents of pro- German or anti-war propaganda
 To quote MT. Sullivan literally. ha says:
 First and foremost organized labor has contributed greatly to the success of the Committee on Labor of the Council of National Defense in creat- ing and fostering a better feeling be- tween capital and labor. We didn't start out by declaring that there would be no strikes during the war; we are not giving Union grouSps immunity nor are we stopping other activities in the American Federationy of Labor, but we are proceeding with restraint and with an eye single to the necessity of doing our share in win ming the war.
 Big organizations like the Carpen- ters'. the Plumbers and other Inter national Unions have adopted resolu- DGen taken as a policy by other organiza- tions; there has been less of a dispo- sition toward impetuous insistence upon non-essentials, and a fine spirit of patriotism and self sacrifice for the benefit of the country has been shown. We have not heard discordant noise of the slightest importance in our own organization; we hardly hear 8 sound from ultra radical clements. The great steps in the support of the war have gone on with the fullest ap- proval of organized trade union men"
 The LaheE Committee of the Coun- cil has played part in nearly every war measure. It even took harfi. when the rules under which the co3sN scription was formulated and insiste, upon individual exemptions rathes than the exemptions of the men os entire factories as in England and France, thus giving men who were anxious to go to the front a chance to come out of the factory and go to the trenches if they were physically fit.
 There has been some comment on the fact that even in the rush of work In our factories the labor organiza- tions have insisted on the eight-hour law unless a sudden emergency should arise. A study of the conditions of the English munition workers proves the value of this rule, for it was soon discovered that short hours meant a greater productivity of the shells than long hours which tired out the work CTS and affected his general health.
 Labor's Pledge.
 Recently society known as the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy was formed. The purpose of the organization is to guarantee the support of the Government by the la- boring man in the present war. The pledge is as follows:
 we. the officers of the national and international trade unions of America in national conference assembled in the capital of our nation hereby pledge ourselves in peace or in wax. in stress or in storm. to stand unre servedly by the standards of nbert and the safety and preservation of thu ideals of our republic"

~OR MANY YEARS there have
 Aw been conficts-serious conflicts,
 W between capital and labor, and
 notwithstanding the grave con- sequences resulting from such diff ftsences they have been waged with malignity and intense bitterness. But now that our country is at war fight ing the battle of freedom, of action and independence of thought. these two traditional enemies are found act ing together, burying their animosities toward each other and joining their strength and energies in the crushing of the common foe. Labor has been just as patriotic as capital and the sacrifices of the laborer have been just as generous and as uncomplain- ingly made as in the case of the cap- talist x Tn the common danger con- fronting our country labor knows no flag but the Stars and Stripes, rec ognizes no duty or obligation but the good of the nation, and on battlefield or amid the hum of the factory labor will be found upholding its end of the burden with a determination and effi- cienc1 which will be an example for all to emulate.

GOVERNMENT ASKS BANKERS ID WATCH. ALIENS ACCOUNTS
American Gold Must Not Be Sent Out of Country to
 Aid Enemy

Washing ton, September 2,-Bank ac- counts of alien enemies and interna- tional banking transactions involving the possible exportation of gold are ur- der careful scrutiny by the. federal re- serve board which is cooperating with the state department in preventing any part of the gold accumulation of the United States from reaching the enemy through neutral countries.
 SUGGESTIONS MADE
 ~The board has suggested that each banker doing business in this county, says the boards bulletin, made public today, ''should scrutinize with particu- la care such account as might be held by his bank for any resident alien en- emy, and in the event any suspicious transactions occur in connection with sucl. accounts, that they be reported inn mediateiy to the board for transmission to the proper department.
 THREE CLASSES
 '.The transactions which are interesting to the state department may be divided into three classes: q. Foreign exchange transactions be- tween banks in this country and banks In neutral countries in Europe.
 '2. Ordinary banking transactions, such as the obtaining of credits, by alien enemies resident in the United States.
 8. Banking transactions between this country and Mexico or Central America and South American countries.
 ''The state department is especially in terested ilt preventing all transfers of money by cable, draft or shipments of currency or otherwise for the account of alien enemieS'
 LETTER TO M'ADOO
 In transmitting it's suggestions to the bankers of the country. the board called attention to letter from Secretary Me- Adoc written before the height of the gold export movement was reached, urg- ing that close attention be given ship ments of gold and to remittances to for ! egn countries.
 For the past five weeks'' the bulle- tin adds. met exports of gold mainly to the far east and to Spain, have continued on large scale. These exports were especially heavy during the weeks end ing July 27 and August 8 when gold ex- ports exceeded imports by $20.046,0O0 and ST. GOO, respectively. The net outward movement of gold during this period was $55.0l2. 900. imports amounting to $1S.24S. 900 and exports to s7S. S.26O0 000.
 GOLD SUPPLY LARGE
 Gold exports this year have been heavier than at any time since the war started and from January l to August F v~re $293, ,621 900. or nearly twice as gre .t as exports during the entire call en.s8r year of 1916. Notwithstanding the heavy exports, the gold supply of the country has increased approximately s245 ,0so 000 since January l. the present stock being in excess of $3.0O0. .00O00O or one-thild the world supply.
