UNION
EMPLOYEES FOR
j. s. WAR WORK
American Federation of Labor
to Present Case to the
GoVernment-No Strike
Resolution Endorsed.

BUFFALO, y. Y, Nov. IS
Labor leaders attending the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention
here are going TO urge the admins
tration, in the interests of more har-
monious relations between workers
and employers during the war, TO
take a positive stand against the
open shop" and to insist upon the
employment of union labor wherever
POSSIBLE on government work. They
believe that such a concession is
due organized labor in return for
its action in calling off all strikes
JeCpardizing the success of the war.
Enforce No Strike Rule.
Although the federation is deter
mined 10 adhere TO the policy of
supporting no war-work strikes even
to the extent OF revoking the char
tiers of offending unions, il is be-
lieved by the majority of delegates
that the highest industrial efficiency
cannot be obtained if union men are
forced TO work with non-union
workers on contracts of government
prospects. Fear is felt in some quar-
ters that INSTRUMENTATION will arise
and that the labor leaders might
not be able to control their men if
the government does not compel
contractors to employ union work
ers everywhere possible.
AT the coming conference between
Pres't Wilson and labor leaders at
Washington to discuss adjustment
of labor disputes in war work this
question will be the chief issue.
There is no disposition of the fed
Grafton to go back on its agreement,
but the adjustment of the open
shop on government work will be
put up TO the president as a war
necessity.
British Delegates Speak.
The most prominent feature on
today's program Of the convention
was the scheduled address of the
British delegates. They are going
TO present TO their American COM
rades some Of the lessons British
organized labor has learned since
the outbreak OF the war.
The convention was deluged with
ANoOAuAAOllo NO1dS Cllt MOhAu
affirm the federation's support of
nationwide woman's suffrage. An
other would abolish one OF the
houses of congress to facilitate leg
islation. Another declares "the en-
tire labor press of the country is
exposed to the possible within or
fancy of the postmaster general
and demands the removal of restric-
tons on free press. Repeal of the
second class postal rate increases
falling upon newspapers and mag
azines. recently enacted by congress
in the war revenue bill is demanded
in another. One condemns the
autocratic policy of Postmaster
Gen. Burleson toward employees"
while still another condemns the
high cost of print paper.

viii Have to Pay From 10 to rs
Cents More For Current
Publications.

New York.-B0ok lovers will have to
pay from 10 to % cents more for cur
rent publications. Publishers and re-
tailers already have increased the
price. Books formerly selling from 30
cents to 81 now are rated at 10 cents
higher. Those in the past priced from
81 to So are sold at an increase of %
cents each.
The publishers claim that there has
been an increase in the price of paper,
leather. cloth and ink amounting to
from 90 TO 100 per cent during the past
twelve months. and it is impossible to
produce books at old prices.
The consensus of opinion among
them Is That under the present serious
conditions a further increase of from
10 to 20 per cent may be necessary.
They say their only hope is in the end
ing of the European war. 1t is claim
ed there is also a shortage of chemi-
Gals which must be obtained from Eu-
rope for the manufacture Of their par
ticular grade of paper. The surplus
supply of this class of material is ex-
hausted and the publishers will have
to depend upon new supply.

Snubbed the Composer.

Gustav Mailer had a queer expert
ence in Munich one day for which his
name was partly responsible. His new
symphony was being rehearsed, and he
took advantage of an hours intermis-
sion to get some fresh air. ION return
ing to the building" says Munich pa
per, "he lost his way and tried to
reach the hall through a corridor in
which plasterers were at work. You
cannot pass through here he was told.
But / am Mailer (Mahler is the Ger
man for painter.) You look it. was
the unsympathetic reply of the man
who blocked his way We are not
ready for the painters yet, so run on
And the composer, realizing that argu-
ment would be useless, plunged into
the labyrinth and finally reached his
destination"
