Wartime Labor ContFach
Foremost among these agreements
are cited the understanding entered
into between the secretary Of war
and Samuel Gompers, president Of
the Federation; which provided that
local standards should govern wages,
hours and conditions in the building
OF cantonments. The report points
out that the gigantic construction
task was carried through without In.
terruption. The understanding SUBJ
%seauently was approved by the Sec
land undertaken by his department.
Other agreements mentioned in
cluded a memorandum for the adj
Justment by a joint board Of wages,
hours and conditions In shipbuilding
plants; an agreement to govern com
ditions Of labor in loading and ,un-
loading vessels; and ~the:creation Of .
commission to settle disputes in the
harness and saddlery industry.
Considerable space IL devoted TO
the attitude Of the council toward
problems raised by the war which
have been e%ngrossing public atten-
ton. Chief among these is the
much-discussed suggestion for the
conscription Of labor concerning
which the report says:
Labor Must Be Mobalt,ed.
Immediately after the DECLARE
ton Of war by the United States gov
eminent. an agitation was COM
menced for the,spurpose Of organic
Ing what was to be known as an In
dustrial reserve, It was proposed
that men in industry should become
to be directed and controlled by our
military establishment, 10 the md
that those employed In industry could
be shifted from one location to an
other. Because OF its military feature,
proposition was opposed by the
officers OF the American Federation
OF Labor. In the light Of the ,ex-
now engaged In war 1t appears that
the shifting OF workers has not only
Ebeen necessary but vital to the carry

and the nation cannot discard light

cooperation of all classes against q

pertence OF Great Britain. the coun-

I'm our own country there Is evil
dent In every kind of war work the
necessity for some national agencies
for better adjusting the supply Of
workers. We are entering q period
where there must be greater economy
In the use Of the man power Of our
country. A central, efficient employ.

plainly necessary in performing the
gigantic task that Is now before the
Emergency Fleet corporation and. in

with the withdrawal Of hundreds
Of THOUSANDS Of men for military
purposes there is necessity for read

control Of the department OF labor,
cooperating with local agencies and

adjunct to our war machinery. Such
agencies will also be keenly needed
