of Commons.
Not in any of these groups has the
American delegation been able to find
the slightest trace of willingness to
consider peace with Germany before
the aims of democracy have been
realized.
The leaders Of every one of these
groups have expressed complete ac-
cord with the war aims laid down by
President Wilson and agreed to by
the American labor movement. Thus,
on the question of war aims, which
is the all.important question, allied
labor is united firmly and steadfastly
The American pacifsts have been
making strenuous efforts to console
themselves with the idea that there is
sympathy for their traitorous pro-
| gramme in the British labor move
ment. This has been found to be alb.
solutely untrue by the American trade
unionists now here, and the investi.
cation has been searching.
There seems little Goubt that Ger.
man agents fostered the proposition
for a co-belligerent conference, fol
what purpose remains to be seen, but
all too evidently to drive wedge be-
Etween the workers and the govern
ments of the Allies while seeking to
lead the allied workers to believe q
wedge was being driven between the
Teutonic workers and their govern

than to say:

RED-LETTER DAY
FOR TRADE UNIONS.

1t Is fact that the trades
unions which have been most OBJ
servant of the two-sided nature
of collective bargaining have
been the most successful ones
and almost invariably the only
successful ones. 1t can fairly
be said that the great union of
coal miners made of the day on
which it voted to stand by it's
voluntary agreements, moved
thereto by the weight of the
covenant rather than by the ex-
tr, ordinary critical nature of the
employment at this time, a red

JOB FOR EVERY MAN; MAN
FOR EVERY JOB.

There is q job in the United
States for every man who wants
to work and there is a worker
for every job that needs to be
filed, according to a statement
made by the United States en-
ployment service, q branch of
the United States department of
labor. The statement said that
some part of the country had an
oversupply of workers, while
others had not enough, but that
the totals for the whole country
show about identical figures for
men seeking jobs and jobs need
ing men.
