of the Lake Carriers Association next
week a more conciliatory policy will
be adopted. If so, the longshoremen
and even more the seamen will gain a
fine triumph. Andrew Furuseth is
authority for the statement that the
Secretary of Commerce, by merely
enforcing the plain provisions of the

War on Union Labor.
The second great labor interest that
is noticeable in Washington this Labor
Day is the trouble centering in Ari-
zona, and reaching out through all
the region west of the Missouri river
The metal mine owners have gone on
the warpath against all unions in the
mining camps. Armed mobs have de-
ported great numbers of peaceful
strikers. Federal troops at Globe and
Miami, Ariz., have prevented the de-
portation of hundreds of other strik-
ers, but now they are reported to have
forbidden picketing, and to have per-
mitted the bringing of a private army
of gunner into the Miami district.
Labor organizers report that mob vio-
lence and even lynching of active trade
unionists may soon take place.
Commission to Arizona
John Murray of Los Angeles and
Washington, organizer for the A F.
of l., recently was sent here as a dele
gate from the convention Of the Ari-
zona State Federation Of Labor, to
get the A. F. of L. to take up with
President Wilson the necessity of re-
storing civil law in Bisbee and
throughout the state. The case was
put up to the President by Mr.. Comp
ers, and the President agreed to have
commission go to Arizona and other
western states to report on the causes
of the lawlessness and strikes now
prevalent, and to suggest remedies.
That commission has not yet been

test and appeal to Congress.
During the past week the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association,
through T. V. O'Connor of Buffalo,
its president, signed a separate labor
treaty" with the United States Ship
ping Board and the War Department,
Navy Department and owners of At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf steamship
lines. This agreement is better than
the one signed recently by the crafts
in the shipyards with the Shipping
Board, since it specifies that union
wages, hours and conditions" in the
several ports shall be recognized.
a special national commission and
local commissions representing the va
rious parties to the agreement will de-
eide all industrial disputes as to the
loading and unloading of ships. The
central board will act only when local
adjustment is found impossible.
Although it is not found in the Ian
guage of this agreement, it is a fact
that the Great Lakes are not brought
under the new plan. Longshoremen
there will continue to strike as before
This is because the Steel Trust,
through its control of the Lake Car
riers' Association of steamship lines,
refused to enter into any agreement
with the longshoremen. The same
course was taken by the Steel Trust in
the case of the recent agreement of
the International Seamen's Union and
the associations of licensed officers
with the owners of steam and sailing
vessels on the Atlantic, the Pacific
and the Gulf. The Great Lakes re

that he does not approve Gov. Burn

America. They suggested a general
conference of officers of all the ma

definite action to protect the union
forces there.
In connection with the copper strikes
has been raised the cry that the In
dustrial Workers of the World were
getting into control of organized la
Dor. On this pretext the agents of the
federal Department of Justice, with
the astuteness that generally marks
the detectives trade, have invaded the
offices of the United Mine Workers in
Indianapolis, to get evidence of l. w.
w. plots. They have arrested labor
organizers in various cities. Men of
local police authority put three or

1t is possible that President Wilson

are escorted safely back to their

equally disappointed that the Peoples
Council has been Disseminated
against, when they wanted to "argue
it out" on basis of reason and not of
bayonets.
During the past week Mr.. Gompers
sent telegram to all of the paid or
ganizers of the A. F. of L., instruct
ing them to devote their efforts to get
unions to send delegates to the con-
vention of the Alliance. At the same
time, efforts were being made by local
spokesmen of both the Alliance and
the Peoples Council, in various cities,
TO get the same central bodies and
local unions to send delegates to their
own convention.
Want Repeal of the Draft.
AS the Peoples Council program is
one of Fastening the end of the war by
generous terms of peace, and of insist
ence upon a high labor standard dur
ing the war, and on early repeal of the
draft, while the Alliance takes the po-
sition that the war must be fought

British and French labor movements

the United States, and in what direc-
