Walsh, the former chairman of the
Industrial Relations Commission,
are stalking their regulations and
putting their pounds of strength
into putting this covenant on the
map-into the living world of labor
and strife. So far there have beer
notable successes, but the board is
admittedly in the experimental
stage. 1t can still fail.
Nothing Short
OF Revolutionary
Labor men have called the terms
of the agreement as to principles
and policies upon which the Nation
al War Labor Board is founded
nothing short Of revolutionary.
These principles and policies, revo-
lutionary or not, are the ten COM
mandmcnts for labor and capital
during the war. They are in a sense
better than the Ten Commandments,
for they were not handed down from
above through the medium of a
Moses; they were agreed to by those
who are to obey them. They can
not be better described than by
quotation. Here they are:

WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS in

LABOR BOARD WINS INDUSTRIAL TRUCE
Represents Covenant
Between Labor and
Capital, That Both
May Work Unhin-
dered for Victory
By w. L. Stoddard

r@OR now month or six weeks
the new National War
Labor Board, an experiment
in industrial peace making, has
been at work. The country is just
becoming familiar with the prob
lens confronting it and with the
methods proposed for their solu-
ton. 1t is a dangerous business,
this matter of attempting to adjust
labor disputes in war time. 1t is
doubly dangerous because of the
silent threat of force which to many
seems to lie behind the govern.
ment's slightest act.
The War Labor Board has, un-
fortunately for itself and for those
who are dealing and will later deal
with it. become confused with So
called Labor Policies Board in ths
United States Department of Labor.
Il may best solve the confusion to
state briefly what the War Labor
Board is, why it was created and
what its peculiar duties are as dis
tinguished from other boards, COM
missions and enterprises, of which
the woods in Washington are over
full
The National War Labor Board
is the result of the meeting of
minds of representative employers
in the United States, representative
employees and the government. It's
father, so to speak, was the War
Labor Conference Board, which was
appointed by the Secretary of La
Dor upon the nomination of the
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the president OF
the National Industrial Conference
Board, which represented, as the
name might not imply, typical en-
ploying interests. The War Labor
Conference Board, the amalgama-
ton Of the two forces which were
thus striving to perfect an instru-
ment for industrial peace, agreed on

The Telegraph
Company Deadlock

Each of these statements must be
interpreted and applied. In the case
of the employees of the telegraph
companies versus the companies the
complaint was violation by the COM
pany of the commandment" setting
forth the principle that employers
should not discharge workers for
membership in trade unions nor for
legitimate trade union activities. The
employees won their case before the
board. The employers refused to
abide by the decision. The board
has taken no further action: un-
questionably it is lying back and
waiting for the moral force of the
agreement to sink in. In other cases
the status quo principle which pre-
scribes that it is not grievance for
union and non-union men and women
to work together has been brought
up and cases have been decided am
icably thereon. Here there are vio-
lations; there there are agreements
the programme is new and strange
and yet to be applied. The chief
difficulties are psychological rather
than practical. For example:
For some years the United States
Department of Labor has had force
of conciliators and mediators, whose
services have been used, on the whols
with good effect, in every section ane
industry in the United States. Thi:
force still exists. A mediator goe!

Washington, May 25.-The state de-

from it's own sources that the Mex
lean diplomatic representative at
Havana has been withdrawn by
Mexico but no explanation was given
In the dispatches. Further advices
were expected during the day.
The Mexican statement giving tlla
reasons for the recall of the Mexican

that the Mexican government al ft-
ally is expressing Its resentment

other supplies. The fact that these
restrictive measures were adopted by
the Cuban government in conformity
with the requests OF the American
food administratio doubtless waa
known to the Mexican authorities.
As Mexico cannot expect to malEs
any successful protest to the allies

pressure to bear directly upon Cube

SUMMARY OF THE WAR

Mexico has severed diplomatic
relations with Cuba. This action by
tho Mexican government oornes un-
expectedly In an announcement from
Mexico City. Official confirmation
from the Cuban government is lack
insv but it is reported there have
been rumora in Havana Of strained
relations between the two republics.
The Mexican charge to Cuba left

battIefieIds Of France 20 the number
Of Sc have been lost in tho torpedo
ing of the British Steamship Mol
daVia by German submarine in the
English channel
Few details of the tragedy have
been disclosed. The American SOL
diers missing are believed to have
been sleeping when the vessel was
attacked. Z" The attack came early
Thursday morning and the sub
marine succeeded in getting away
unseen. According to survivors, the
MoIdavia was near the southeast
coast Of England on her way to an
English port.
Escorting destroyers rescued the
survivors who had fallen into line
on the deck Of the chip Immediate
Iy after The torpedo struck near the
bridge. The soldiers lost all their
belongings.
The loss Of the MoEdaVIa parallels
the sinking of the Tuseania off the
northern coast of ireland last Febru-
ary with the loss of 101 American
soldiers. Tho oaImness of the soI-
diers, most of them new to the sea,
and the prompt work Of the reseuins

In the same territory where The
MoIdaVia evidently went down the
Cork Steamer Innisearra was sunk
Tuesday morning. Thirty-seven were
lost, only five members of the crew
being saved.
NO CHANGE AT 'FRONT.'
There has been no change on the
battIefieIds of northern France. Both
sides continue their raidina opera
tions, with the Germans paying most
attention to the line between the
Somne and Albert. Between Ypres
and Rheims, British and French
patrols have captured prisoners.
Rain is falling generally on the
Somme and Picardy fronts. This
imposes additional hardships on theI
Germans who OCCUPY the shell torn

weather was most favorable, it is not
