Gen. Crowder Rules Their Draft
Status Remains Same.

Although Uncle Sam has taken
over the railroads, he does not con-
slider their employees as government
workers. This was made clear yes
terday in a ruling by Provost Mar
shall Crowder.
He stated that all claims for draft
exemption by railroad men must
be made as they are still working
for private concerns.
Another communication issued tc
local boards yesterday is to the ef-
feet that the War Department has
directed that medical officers be
sent to local boards furnishing men

ing carried on.
The medical officers also will in
struct the examiners in conducting
examinations.
Another ruling relative to the
status of men dishonorably dis
charged from the military or naval
service, issued by General Crowder,
states that, unless the "dishonor-
able discharge is because a man
has been convicted OF a felony pun
ishable and punished by a sentence
of one year or more" he is not re-
lieved from military service under
the selective service law.

new BOARD
WILL. DEAL
WITH LABOR
Secretary of Labor Wilson
Announces Plan to Train
American Workmen.

with q million men under arms.
Uncle Sans next step will be to
marshal a labor army to carry on
the huge work of wartime at home.
Secretary of Labor Wilson yester-
day announced that plans are being
made for a vast machinery to find.
train, and guide American workmen
into the trades vital to victory,
The labor supply. Secretary Will
son said. is ample" 1t only needs
directing into the proper channels.
To begin this Job an advisory
council to the Labor Department
will be named today by the Secre-
tary. The council will include two
labor representatives. two of COM
merce and industry. and an econo-
mist. On their expert suggestions
will be framed the machinery which
will aid American workmen in do
ing their part in the war. When
the needs of the new branch have
assumed definite form, Congress
will be asked for such legislation
as is necessary.
There is no lack OF labor. said the
Secretary. There is lack of adjust
ment and stabilizing necessary to
new conditions. For instance. while
there is a slack season in the build
ing trade. the ship yards might be
begging for men. The biggest de-
mand now is in metals. textile. and
numbering trades. he said. There is
no fixed demand; while the supply
may be filled in one town, the de-
mand increases in the next. Where
men skilled in certain trades are re-
quired. it will be the plan to train
those needed. IL no skilled men are
available. The data on the number
of workmen available and other in
formation will be obtained from
every source and utilized.
Labor Not ConscrIpted.
Labor is not to be "conscripted." j"
however. There is no need of that.
it was explained. What is neces-
sary is to find where the need is. find
the men able to fill the need, and
bring the two together.
The Federal Employment Bureau.
which will be part of the new labor
machine, is already placing $4,000
men, a month in vital industries.
One of the problems is wages,
said Secretary Wilson. He pointed
out that ''it is doubtful IL the wage
increase has equaled the increased
cost of living" Unless the wage
rate keeps pace with the living cost
he said. it is equal TO a reduction
of wages.
The relation OF the labor supply
to the military need. will also be
worked out. The Secretary pointed
out that while an estimated num-
Der of 35,000.O00 gainful workers
are in the country, only 100000
, have bren drawn upon as yet. Nor
mally Ia said. there is more thar
that number Of useful men out oi
| employment.
TIE great difficulty. he said, will
be resdjustmsnt OF labor TO meet
! war cenditi0ns.

WANTS TREATY
MAKING DONE
IN THE OPEN
Senator Borah, of Idaho,
Continues Fight Against
Secret Diplomacy.

Secret discussion OF treaties Will
never be carried on again in the
United States Senate, IL Senator Will
liam z. Borah. OF Idaho, has his way.
He began yesterday a determined
campaign against star chamber by
which after-war treaties might be
made between this government and
foreign nations, and the American
people would never know the con-
tent Of the international documents.
Borah opened his night by moving
that the Rules Committe be instruct
ed to alter Senate rules SO that all
treaties should be considered in open
session The resolution he submitted
was blocked on a parliamentary move
by Hoke Smith, Senator from Geor-
gia, and a member of the Rules Com
mittee. 1t was forced to lie over
for day.
Explains Position.
Senator Borah said:
IF open diplomacy had prevailed
in Europe for the last twenty-five
years II WOuiQ nave Deen prdcUcally
impossible for this war to have hap
pened.
''The world is indebted to the Boil
shevilxi." he said, for one thing, at
least, and that Is the blow which
1t has, given to secret diplomacy
When it forced the consideration of
the German proposals in the open It
rendered a mighty and also a per-
manent service to mankind. No
stronger argument could be made
against secret diplomacy than the
beneficial effects OF the open diplo-
macy at Brest-Litovsk.
When we come to consider peace
terms at the close of this conflict
there will be abundant reasons for
open diplomacy. There will be ad-
vantages sought. because human ma
ture will be the same after the war
as before. One of the most helpful
things for permanent peace will be
that the terms of peace and all
treaties and obligations be made in
the open before all the people to be
bound or obligated"

Scientific
Optimism

Some wit defined op-
timism as mot caring what
happens just so il doesn't
happen to me"
That kind Of optimism
is not possible in the world
any more. Nor is the op-
timism which says peace,
peace when there is no
peace.
The ends of the world
are too close TO each other,
the universal problem is
too complex, all men are
too interdependent.
These very conditions
have made necessary a
great world newspaper
such as The Christian
Science Monitor.
From its own news
bureaus all over the world
to its subscribers in every
corner Of the globe il tells
the news of the great con-
hict, exposes the causes
and presents the remedy.
1t has no doubt about
the result.
