PRESIDENT WILSON TAKES
4 HAND IN STRIKE MATTERS
Warning Given to Both Employees and
Employers That Labor Troubles
Shall Not Stop Production.

| ngton-Presiient Wilson took
the war labor situation in hand per,
sonally Friday and applied to '1awless
and faithless employees" force in keep
ing with drastic measures which he
disclosed had been adopted with his
| approval in dealing with recalcitrant
employees.
Striking machinists and other war
plant workmen at Bridgeport, Conn,
were informed in a letter addressed
directly to them by the president that
they must return to their work and
abide by the decision of the war labor
board or be barred for year from all
employment over which the govern
ment exercises control and lose all
claims for draft exemption on occupa-
tional grounds.
At the same time the president an
nounced that the plant and business of
the Smith & Wesson Company of
Springfield, Mass, the first employer
to "flaunt the rules of the war labor
board approved by presidential procla-
nation, had been commandeered by
the war department to be operated for
the period of the war
In effect, the president gave notice
both to employees and employers that
no labor controversies will be permit
ted to stand in the way of production
OF materials needed for winning the
war. The great majority of both en-
ployers and workmen is keeping heart
lily with the government With the
broad communicating powers granted
by congress, the large measure of con-
troll exercised over all plants doing
war work, the operations of the fed
eral employment service, and the far
reaching work or fight order of the
provost marshal general, the president
is prepared to see that the few in
clined to stand aloof do not interfere
with the output of the industrial army.
