CONSCRIPTION OF LABOR

Conscripion of labor, Secretary Wilson told Con in his annual report is not likely to be necessary for the winning of the war, but he suggests that should it become necessary for the government to conscrip labor it should at the same time conscript the industries which they engaged.
 Almost nsuperabe obstacles arise," says the Sec retary of Labor, when labor disputes occur under circumstances in which employers permit organizations by their workmen only pain of dismissal Since in such the workman have responsible business representatives, only one party to controversies can be conveniently satisfactorily heard. In such cases also the workers, being prevented by their employers from organizing on business basis tend to fall away pacifying influence conservative, construc tive and responsible labor organizations and to come under that of irresponsible revoluonsts As most la awlessness traceable to this cause responsib- ity it be wholly diverted the policy hardly patriotic in time of warof arbitrarily obstruc ing labor organization of the conservative type,
 "The department is of of proposals, more popular earlier in the war than now, to settle labor disputes by coercing wage earners But these proposals are both unfair and impraccable They are also widely regarded, and not without un- patriotic. It is enough say of them here that in view of this department public sentiment not be expected to tolerate conscripton of labor for private profit. Should industrial conscrption become really necessary in order effectively to prosecute the policy less likely to be considered one-sided would be desirable It would seem-that is, if workers were to be conscripted for industrial purposes-that the working opportunities to which they assigned ought to be commandeered, make such work CTS not coerced servants of employers but employees of the government itself
 There is however no reason for apprehendng a necessity for any kind of labor conscrption to settle or prevent disputes between emplovers and thelr employers which may interfere with vigorous prosecution of the In every case in which re sponsibe representatives of organ zauons which represent their disputing employees the spirit in which they would negotiate with business competitors, labor disputes be speedily eff fectvely, and without friction through the mediation service of the Department of Labor By simple and fair of collective bargaining between the gov ernment labor organizations, and business organiza tons all labor disputes preudcia prose cution of the be promptly eliminated from wal problems Not only can this be done but it be done to the satisfaction of all concerned and mony with every patriotic purpose.

One of the perils of in the trenches is the dread foe tuberculosis The French have had 150, 900 soldiers infected with it. They have all gone home spreading the infection in their neghborhoods. Meanwhile the English have been practically free from this scourge. Their physicians have been very careful about the infection. The result is in the good health of their troops American medical science is very advanced, and may expect boys to get equally good protection It will be up to them to realize the peril
 S1Trench life is favorable to the disease if precau tons are not taken Wet feet and clothing produce in which tuberculosis spreads thoroughly under stood The infection be stopped by the observ- ance of strict rules that the medical corps will es- tabsh
 In way the situation is favorable to a better hold on this plague than had before. The young of the country being closely examined ier physical defects Those showing any tendency gara tuberculosis being rejected Had it not heen the draft many of these fellows would not feazaa this tendency until the disease had made serious l.Eoads
 Now thousands of them with a slight infection know about it in time to themselves. It is their patriotic duty and the act of common to fight the beginnings of this disease. If they will do this take pains prevent the infection spreading the will have proved blessing to them and of peril will have been removed from the munity
