Citation said he expected no trouble
from o. caulkers employed at wooden
ship yards in the Puget Sound and
Columbia river district.
The caulkers. while they are pa
triOtic as any other class OF workers,
crease in their numbers" Mr.. Harry
said Notwithstanding this. when
the war time needs OF the government
were made plain to them, they waived
their objection to apprentices. and
now there is one OF these to every
caulker. They waived also the quss-
ton Of common labor for the work
known as horsing-that is. work on
platforms. laying out material and
the like.
The result IS" said Harry. that
the work has been wonderfully speed
ed up in the coast yards and the wage
and hour scale is satisfactory. Cauik-
ers are drawing $40 for an eight
hour day and time and a half for
overtime, and many OF the men avail
themselves OF overtime. to their own
benefit financially, and to the gov
ernment's in connection with its war
work"
Speaking for the shfDwrights and
cauli1ers, a union representative gave
out a statement in Seattle last night
that no fears need to be entertained
of any shortage or caulkers. To prove
their loyalty. It was stated. they
would put apprentices at work as

Postal Employees Want More Money

Plea, not so much for increased
wages as the restoration of their old
scale of pay, is contained in a me-
mortal signed by 2S,O00 postal employ
ees in the country which was present
ed for the consideration of the post
master general.
Edward J. Gainor, president Of the
National Association of Lettercarriers'
and the assistant secretary of this or
ganization, NJ. T. Finnan, presented
the memorial.
Recited in the paper are facts
which would prove that while, the cost
Of living has doubled or more during
the last ten years that the wages Of
the letter carriers Of the country have
never been increased, but, on the con-
trary curtailed to Il certain extent.

to have amounted almost to insanity
A number Of metal workers, engaged
in the manufacture of radiators, struck
in sympathy with other members OF
the union who were striking for an in
crease in wages of sOldererS and tin
men. The radiator workers. who were
getting twice the sum, still are hold
ing out. This fact means that the com
pleton Of many airplanes is delayed.
Shop hands numbering 100000 in the
Birmingham and Midland districts de-
manded recognition of their shop stew
ards or said they would strike imme-
diately. The majority Of the shops
are working on munitions. The Min
istry of Labor is attempting to bring
about settlement, and negotiations
are proceeding.

Mine WORKERS
LOSE in COURT
Highest Judicial Tribunal UphoIds
Decision Against Which
They Appealed.
ALL LABOR UNIONS INVOLVED
Opinion Means That in the Case OF
"open Shop" Employers Have Right
to Prevent Unions Tampering
With Nonunion Employees.

Employers legally may operate their
plants as open shops and prevent con-
SpiracieS to bring their nOnuniOn em-
ployees into labor organizations, ac-
cOrding to the decision of the United
States Supreme court in the cases Of
the Hinchman Coal and Coke com
pany and the Eagle Glass Manufac-
turing company of West Virginia.
The court virtually upheld the deci-
sion of Federal Judge Dayton of West
Virginia in enjoining the United Mine
Workers of America as an illegal or
ganizati0r and for conspiracy under
laws of West Virginia. The court di-
vided on the opinion, 6 to 3.
The case involved the right of en-
ployers to prevent unions from So
Letting nonunion employees to join
their organizations.
Methods Of the labor organization
in attempting to uniOniZe the "open
shop" workmen and bring about
strikes were declared "unlawfuI and
malicious"
The court admitted right of work
men to organize into unions for law
full methods, but held that the en-
p!oyerS-the Hinchman Coal and Coke
company and the Eagle Glass Manu-
featuring company Of West Virginia
were entitled to operate their
plants "open shop" and to protection
and injunction against the labor union
ordered for that purpose.
Associate Justices Brandeis, Holmes
and Clarke dissented from the Opin-
Jon handed down by the other six
members of the court.
In a statement Samuel GOmpers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, criticized the decision as
hardening "back to the days when
employers We're monarchs- Of all they
surveyed and their employees We're
servants or slaves"
Mr.. Gompers said: at is indeed
regrettable that the Supreme court
should have rendered the decision II
did upholding the injunction and de-
cision issued and rendered by Judge
Dayton of the District of West Nir-
ginia. The miners union undertook
by lawful methods and means to reach
the unorganized and underpaid miners
Of West Virginia, so they might .ba

American standard.

TWO BRIDGEPORT VICTORIES

Hartford, Ct, June 1S-President Dan O'Neil of the Eastern Baseball league announced tonight that he had ordered thrown out two victories by Bridgeport. one at Hartford, June Il and the other, the second game of a double header, at New Haven, June IS, because in both these games Bridge port used catcher, Connolly, who is under suspension.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Gains outnumbered Declines at the
 Stagnant Close.

New York, June 1S.--The stock market was becalmed today, trading diminishing steadily after. the first hour with an uncertain drift, although gains outnumbered declines at the stagnant close.
 There was again a complete ab- sence of incentive or any develop ,nents bearing pertinently upon val ues. War bulletins were of a hopeful tenor and Secretary McAdoo's state ment regarding, the rate Of interest on the next Liberty loan evoked fla rorable banking comment. 1 Italian exchange continued to inn prove. rates on neutral countries hardened more perceptibiy and fur | ther gold imports from Canada were reported. making a total of $20 100000 | from that source since last week.
 So far as important stocks display ed any tendency at all. they were guided largely by the irregular course of such leaders as U. S. Steel and other prominent equipments, also Reading and shippings, these com prising fully 50 percent of the smal | turnover.
 Additional gains in Royal Dutcl Oil, General Cigars and other highly speculative issues were partly can celled in the gradual setback of the final hour. when the list yielded again from sheer inertia. Sales amoustet to 3s0OOo shares.
