Worries of the War Board.
The national war labor board. be-
side facing the danger of political at
tack from the Republican standpat-
tiers, backed by the Democratic reac-
tionaries, is now brought up against
the problem Of the woman in industry
who refuses to go back home.
Out in Cleveland the street car
company hired 40 women TO operate
cars, after a considerable labor short
age had been created. How the short
age was created is n point in dispute;
the union men say the company want
ed to get women to do its work at
lower wages and worse conditions; the
company denies it. Anyhow. the union
kicked at the women's coming into the
industry, and refused to admit them
to the union.
A federal mediator went to Cleve-
land, brought the union and company
together, and ordered that the wom-
en- be discharged by November 1. Then
the women organized n union Of their
own, and appealed to the war labor
board. They declared that they were
never consulted by the mediators nor
ny the company or union, ms to
whether they were willing to 20 home;
furthermore, they refused to go. II
hen appeared that the first report Of
he mediators had been that the wom-
EN- were needed to run the cars; IL
vas only after twelve days that they
changed their attitude. Anyhow, the
women demand that the war labor
board uphold its own principles, which
call for the protection Of the workers
against discrimination.
A.woman lawyer, Miss Florence AL
len OF Cleveland, pleaded the women's
case at the hearing before the board
Yesterday. Attorney Vahey for the
Union argued that there
was no place for women on the plat
forms of street cars in Cleveland, and
that as they took the places Of men
who might be hired, the women should
be dismissed.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL.
There Was a Time When Garfield's
Job Would Have Been Sinecure.

The present day restrictions with
regard to the use Of coal would have
seemed very mild to our ancestors,
remarks a writer in London Tit-Bits.
There is no doubt that the use of what
used to be called "sea coal" to dis
tinguish it from charcoal had its draw
backs.
Many look forward to the time when
there will be no more smoky Chin
news in Britain. when the atmosphere
Of London will be as clean as it must
have been in the days Of Good Queen
Bess, and when n new building will
not be begrimed with SCOT almost as
soon as it is built.
In the reign Of Edward the in
habitants Of London petitioned the
king against the growing use OF coal,
declaring that it was "a public nui-
sance, corrupting the air with its stink
and smoke, to the great detriment of
their health" Whereupon the king
prohibited its use, offenders to be
punished for first offense by a fine
and for a second to have their kilns
and furnaces destroyed.
The practice Of using coal was at
length made a capital offense and
man was tried, condemned and hanged
for burning coal in London.
In those days the population Of Eng
land probably did not exceed 4,000, 900
or 100000 and wood was plentiful
and cheap from the vast forests that
covered tens Of thousands OF square
miles where now are great towns.

FACTS ABOUT SHIP BUILDERS.

It's good to get facts now and then.
Here are some:
The United States shipping board
emergency fleet corporation says
there are approximately $4,000 en-
ployes in the shipyards.
The weekly payroll is s10,50O, 900.
Making proper allowance for sal
aried officials, this figures out an aver
age wage to workmen of about 81 a
day.
Golfers Weekly says this equals
about s2.7O a day before the war.
And this means that American
workmen are plugging away doing
their level best for the country on just
an average wage.
We commend these figures to GER
tain gentlemen who have been indulg-
ing in the fine art of profiteering at
the expense of the men and women
who are making the munitions and
building the ships.

detail in which we were involved in
this war.
Convictions Expressed Firmly.
"Now that we were in the war up to
the hilt, well, nothing could be done
by kings or cabinets or men Of labor
without the full consent of the repre-
sentatives of our republic. And it was
with no mealy mouths that the Amer
lean labor mission expressed their firm
convictions.
81 call your attention to that part
of the declaration adopted by the con-
ference of Americas workers at
Washington, March IL, 1917, insisting
upon conditions of labor and freedom
during any war which might come, or
during the times of peace, upon the
basis of an American standard OF life
and work. American workers stood
100 per cent behind the government
and President of the United States

ave had too often been described
as the nation whose ideal was the

the world has people responded with
such alacrity, with such earnestness
and willingness to serve, and, if need
be, die, than the people of our repub-
lie in this cause. And / am more proud

ment that no men should be demobi-
lized to accept work in that locality.
Maintain High Standards.
On the other hand, the labor de-
partment will arrange with federal,
state and municipal authorities that a
big program Of public work-such as
roads, bridges, reclamation OF waste
lands, etc.-shall be undertaken as
buffer" employment. Soldiers and
sailors coming back to civilian work
may choose between this public work,
in which the high industrial standards
will be maintained, and private en-
ployment. Thus by direct withholding
of a labor supply and by the offer of
work at better terms, the government
will force the stubborn employers in
each locality to meet the higher stand
ard of wages and conditions-espe-
cially the democratic voice Of the
workers in the management of the
industries.
This high standard set for demobi-
lized soldiers will apply, of course, to
all workers in the locality where it
takes effect. Thus the process Of de-
mobilizing the American armies may
work a veritable revolution in indus
trial conditions-and n revolution for
the better, despite the talk that labor
must now consent to a return to the
old low-wage and open-shop regime.
This plan is merely plan, as yet.
Any labor body that thinks well Of it,
or of any part of it, should notify the
secretary of labor or the secretary of
war of that opinion. What is wanted
is definite plan, approved by organ
lied labor, with which to ward of the
hostile tricks of the junkers in Con-
gress. The time is short.
Massachusetts Adopts Referendum.
In Massachusetts the election has
resulted in the success of the amend
ments to the state constitution, estab-
fishing the initiative and referendum
for both laws and constitutional
amendments. Fifteen thousand sig
natures on an initiative petition for a
law and 10000 for a constitutional
amendment, will henceforth be enough
to place them on the ballot AT reg
ular election.
Henry Sterling, now legislative
agent Of the A. F. Of L., who was a
leader in the fight for the initiative
and referendum on behalf Of the la
Dor movement Of Massachusetts,
drafted and secured the State Fedora
tion's endorsement Of a program Of
laws that are to be put up TO the
people Of the state by petition, since
the initiative and referendum have
been adopted. There are seven points
in this program. They call for state
insurance fund for injured workmen,
to be maintained by the employers;
proportional representation Of all po-
litical parties, in the legislature; not
more than eight hours work per day

Shipyard Employees at Houston and
Detroit Submerge Grievances.

Two instances which reveal the de-
sire Of workmen to aid the nation
even under difficulties are reported
from Houston, Texas, and Detroit,
Mich.
In Houston a number of shipyard
workers were about 10 strike. They
resented a proposed cut in pay and
complained that back pay due them
had not been given them. At the ear
nest suggestion of labor leaders they
resolved to remain at work until all
possible means of settlement had been
attempted, in order not TO hamper the
nations shipbuilding program.
In Detroit another group of work
men, it is reported, are receiving only
27iz cents an hour, whereas they are
supposed to receive 60 cents. These
men have agreed not to strike until
their employers have baked Mt all
other means of settlement Of the diff
ficulty.

WHY HIGH PRICE OF SHOES?
Cost of Labor Furnishes no Excuse,
Says u. S. Department.

That labor cost is a small item in
the manufacture of shoes, despite
present high prices, is indicated in a
report by the United States bureau of
labor statistics.
In Bulletin No. 232, which gives
the wage rates and hours Of labor
in 1916 in the principal occupations
in this industry, is printed table
showing the time and labor cost in
the production of 100 pairs Of shoes
in a representative factory.
To make one pair of shoes in this
factory in 1916 required one hour
and twenty-five minutes, and the Ia
Dor cost was 36.s cents, or a fraction
less than 81 cents. This labor cost
would necessarily be a few cents high
er now because of increased wages.
The bureau states that complete
wage data for 1918 is not available,
but rates of the principal occupations
show advances over 1916 that range
from $3.50 to SO week.
