GERMAN DYE SECRETS
CAPTURED BY BRITISH
Now in Keeping Of London Bank.
Important Step in Economic War
Against Teutons.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 10.-A group of
men in the British textile trade has
captured the secret recipes of the great
German dye industry. according to the
Daily Mail, which displays the item un-
der large heads. The recipes, number
ing 257. belonged to the great Badische
works and are now in the keeping of a
London bank. The Mail says:
'The capture is of first Importance in
the economic war against Germany and
will free the British textile industry
and scores of other important indus
tries from the bonds of Germany. 1t
means that when the war is over Great
Britain will be in position to compete
equally with German dyed goods in
every market in the world
In the course of long story describ-
ing how the recipes were obtained in
Switzerland. and Mail says that the mer-
chants who captured them have refused
tempting offers from capitalists, and
speculative elements have been barred
carefully from the enterprise. The
merchants intend to offer and sell the
recipes to the British government for
the use of the government dye works
permitting the bulk of the profit to go
to the nation on the understanding that

John LIND WILL BE ON
ADVISORY LABOR COMMISSION
Declares Supply for Industry and Army Is
Ample, But Needs to Be
Guided

John Lind, former Governor Of Minne-
eota, will be one Of the new advisory
commission to assist Secretary Wilson in
nobilizing labor for war service.
1t Is understood Mr.. Lind will represent
the public on the commission. which will
include also two representatives Of Ia
Dor, two Of commerce and industry and
one economist.
That there Is an ample supply OF
labor both for the Army and for indus
try. IS the belief of Secretary of Labor
Wilson. who has been charged by the
President with the duty Of mobilizing
workers for the war. Secretary Wilson
estimated that in the first year Of the
war the Army would take only about 8
per cent Of the country's workers, less
than the number unemployed under
normal conditions.
Most Of the anxiety In this country
regarding the labor question has been
q reflex OF Great Britain's experiences
in the war;" Mr.. Wilson said. "Of 2O.-
100000 persons engaged in gainful oc-
cupations in England, 100000 were
taken for the army, leaving the labor
supply 25 per cent short. This neces-
situated withdrawal from the army of
skilled workmen in order to maintain
the industrial life at home.
Situation Here Different.
Americas situation is very differ
ent OF course, the draft will interfere
with industry to some extent, but we
have 35,000,000 workers. of whom ap-
proximately 100000 will be taken in
the first year Of war less than the nor
NAL number Of unemployed. Our prob
lem. then. Is one of readjustment to
supply the demand for workers in
those trades which are expanding
Evening star., 1918-01-10

rapidly. such as shipbuilding and NUM-
tions factories.
"At present there is a shortage of la
Dor in some trades and surplus In
others. For instance, there is unem-
ployment in the building trades. 1t is
our task to make the supply equal to
the demand. which will involve trans
portation of workmen voluntarily from
one section to another. housing them In
their new homes, and training un-
skilled men when the skilled supply in
any particular line of work is short.
I'VE have established an administra-
tive force here, headed by John B.
Densmoe. using employment agencies
already in existence, and are working
on DEVELOPMENT of a field force. Until
the question is studied by the advisory
commission we will not know what we
shall have to ask of Congress"
May Cause Friction.
Mr.. Wilson was asked what opposition
was expected from the unions to dilu-
tfon Of labor.
"If the apprentice rules of the unions
are adhered to-" he replied, sit doubt
less will cause friction if we attempt to
introduce unskilled workers. That is
one of the questions which we will have
to work out
Enrolment of 1aborers in Porto Rico
was said by the Secretary to have been
undertaken because of a shortage of
maintenance of way employees on rail-
roads in the southwest. SO far, how
ever. none of those enrolled has been
used because it has been impossible to
transport them to the United States.
Increased wages are being paid in
many industries, notably metal. lumber
and textile. the Secretary said. but in
some cases they have not equaled the
rise in living costs.
II do not know of any instances
where increased wages have caused a
decrease in work done." he added. La
Dor is not demoralized. Present cont1i-

Federal Mobilization of Labor

The tremendous expansion and reOrgan-
ization Of the United States Employment
Service which the government has just un-
dertaken represents a thoroughgoing at
tempt to deal with the labor shortage, al
ready recognized in this country's war
work, on which employers and workers
have agreed. 1t does not contemplate Civ
ing to the Federal employment bureau as
drastic powers and duties as those of the
employment service established in Great
Britain. Those may come in time. Mean
while this plan is long step in advance
Of anything the nation has had, and it
may be it will suffice for Americas war
needs. At any rate, it is the logical thing
to try before any scheme Of conscripting
labor.
Heretofore the United States Employ
rlent Service has been a subordinate
bureau in the Department of Labor
Henceforth it is to be separate con-
Germ, working in cooperation with state
and municipal employment bureaus and
the labor bureaus of various state coun-
ellis of defence. 1t is to cover the coun-
try with chain of employment Offices
which will register the names Of work
ers seeking jobs and the needs of en-
ployers seeking men. Thus workers in
one section of the land where they find
themselves more or less drug in the
market may get in touch with employers
elsewhere who want men more than any,
thing else to make their factories run.
Employers may apply to the Federal en-
ployment bureau. listing their require
ments, and have it's facilities set in opcr-
alton to get the workers for them in
stead Of going through the somewhat
hopeless process of combing the local
market for men who don't exist at that
particular place at that particular time.
This attempt at Federal treatment of
the employment problem should be good
thing for the workers, the employers and
the nation at large. 1t ought to diminish
the old evil of seasonal employment or
rather unemployment. 1t ought to reduce
the number of lost work days which have
so diminished the industrial output of the
United States at time when it should
be at its peak. 1t ought to stop or at
New-York tribune., 1918-01-10

the very least to diminish the present
bidding Of employers against each other,
which results not in generally better con-
ditions for labor or an increase of pro-
duction, but usually only in the shifting
Of employees from places where they are
needed to other places where they are
needed, but not more needed. Operation
of the plan should stabilize the labor mar
ket, without tending to depreciate wages.
From the beginning Of the war the
American Federation Of Labor has advo
Gated such activity on the part Of the
government, and representative bodies of
employers have backed the plan. Difficult
ties in building up the necessary machin-
cry for this mobilization of labor are to
be expected; and this machine, when con-
structcd. is not likely to operate perfectly
any more than other government machin-
cry. Nevertheless the plan is good, and
its results are sure to better what has
been unmistakably bad situation, greatly
handicappng the industries of the land
when they least can bear handicapping.

glad that my only child wears my countrys

thank you for your editorial in this morn

said what will give heart to every American
and Allied soldier and sight to his gun.
Let nobody think of quitting. Let nobody
think of what he has to pay. Let nobody
whose boy is there, or about to go, give one

many's surrender and the establishment Of
conditions under which our children can live,
if we could not, where neither right nor

should do unto you, do ye to them"

German Control of Platinum

To the Editor Of ! he Tribune.
Sir: Germany was given the means by
which she wages this war when, in 1871.
England let her have hcr present chief iron
supply in Lorraine.
Germany would have been glad to take
Paris, but her "scrap of paper" drive across
Belgium to Lens was aimed to seize the iron
and coal supply Of Western Europe. Eng
ish and, later, American coal and iron bare
ly saved France. The German drive through
Serbia had for it's aim the Serbian copper
and it saved Germany. Grand Duke Nicholas
showed the best leadership yet discovered
on the side Of the Allies in his great drive
for the Galican oil fields. Success would
have blinded German guns. Germany beat
kim BY back firing at Petrograd and cutting
Of his supplies, then clirched matters by
forcing Eumania's hand and sciz;ng the
Rumanian oil wells.
BY clever wit and good fortune we have
secured priceless cargo Of platinum, cs-
scntial to smokcless powder. In 1880 the
urals supplied 80 per cent OF the worlds
platinum. Is the world democracy about
to duplicate Englands fatal blunder Of 1871
and let Germany control platinum? Where
is Japan? Finally, Germany is still handi-
capped in two military necessities rubber
and cotton. On guard against smugglcrs
And watch Egypt!
Speed up, Washington, and let us not be
known AS land Of promises ct pr@tera nihil.

Heroes of the Conscience. Fund

Conscience fund episodes seem to run in
waves. The sensitive organ of human
being located somewhere in the Rocky
Mountains stirs, twitches, aches, after
sleeping comfortably for twenty years,
and 81 in postage stamps reaches the
Treasury Department for it's conscience
fund. Immediately other consciences are
troubled the country over. There is an
epidemic of contriteness. People who had
(since that happy day when they left New
England years before) are prostrated
with worry. They hasten to take the cure
and more stamps arrive at the Treasury
Department.. The disease runs it's course,
till only the immune are left-or a cheer
counterfeit bills!
Perhaps it is wrong to jeer at such
reformations, however belated. Conscience
holds high rating in religious training
Certainly it is wonderful thing that
Puritanism implants, that can trouble a
hardened sinner after lying dormant for
years on end. We should shift our smile
we suppose, and not compare so noble an
institution with physical organ, and d
diseased one at that.
Yet it is hard to grow enthusiastic over
SO conventionalized and technical an nsti-
tuition as this type of conscience. We seem
to see it quite insensitive to the daily bust
ness Of being a pleasant, interesting,
worthwhile person; we see it yawning
with boredom while it's possessor bullies
his wife and beats his child and scrooges
his clients. And it awakens only over the
pettiest kind of peccadillo-an illegal act,
if you will, a real be-it-enacted crinle-but
not one-tenth Of l per cent as wrong a
deed as one seconds downright meanness
in the days work. tits a sophist, a quibbler,
hair-splitter. When it is satisfied by a
sneaking, technical compliance with the
law it goes calmly to sleep again.
1t may be treason, but we express our
personal affection for a complete, content
ed yeggman in preference to any such
piOuS fraud
