Senator Borah, who assisted in the
prosecution of Bill" Haywood in the
famous trials at Boise in 1907, told
the fire-eaters that lynch-law would
not solve the l. w. w. problem, but
would merely make it worse. He ad-

Sentiment against the /. w. w. in

During the week the Senate has
voted to raise the price of wheat to
the farmer from somewhere about 81
to $3.50 a bushel. Against this direct
addition to the cost of living, and the
further addition which will come with
rise in other prices to follow the
price of wheat, it was finally decided
that government clerks shall not be
compelled to work an additional hour
each day for their old rates Of wages.
The House failed to complete it's
work on the Moon Madden bill, in
creasing the pay of postal employees,
but there was every sign that the vote
already taken in favor of a perma-

manufacturers to give our exemption
badges to the men they considered val-
liable. This led to abuses, and we had
to abolish the practice. Later we tried
to have this done by the trade unions
instead, but this also led TO an abuse.
We found that the unions would hold
out the exemption certificate ms an in
ducement to have men join their
unions, and we had TO abandon this
method also"
Mr.. Butterworth was reminded of
the selective service act Of this coun-
try, and said the exemption Of skilled
mechanics and agricultural workers
right at the beginning of the war
would help solve this problem for
America.
Suspension of Strikes.
He favored the British agreement
calling for suspension of strikes dur
ing war times, entere>i INTO between
the government and thirty-five large
unions.
"We agreed to relinquish our right
to strike, which was big concession"
he said. "and in return the govern
ment gave us machinery for adjust
ing disputes. This consists of the
committee on production, which sits
daily. This board of three, one a pro-
fessional man and the other two rep
resentatives of capital and labor. ad
just disputes as to hours and wages.
No dispute can be adjusted while the
men are on strike, fact which dis
courages cessation of work"
Mr. Butterworth is much impressed
with the immensity of this country
and with its industrial possibilities.
He also paid eloquent tribute to the
loyalty of American workingmen, and
said he had implicit faith in the sin
cerity of our war aims.
The union which he represents, hav-
ing n national membership Of 10000,
is closely allied by trade agreement
with the Boilermakers Society of
Great Britain, union of $4,000 mem
bers in England, Scotland, Ireland
and Wales. The two comprise rs per
cent of the shipyard industry.

our experiences across the Atlantic"
He spoke of national mistakes, and
of mistakes in trade union policy, but
he insisted that neither was independ-
ent of the other. The welfare of the
nation is closely bounded up with
that of the union.
"England's problems are different
than yours" he said. IF you were to
ask me what is the greatest, most
pressing, immediate, need of England,
the allies, America, / would say:
Ships, ships, ever more shipsp / can
not emphasize that point too strongly.
Problems of America.
But while England's problem is
tured product to the continent, Amer
lea has the added problem of her i'm
mense size and scattered industries.
That brings in the factor of railroad
transportation. Great Britain has
added so per cent to the regular
charges for railroad transportation
during the war, for the purpose Of dis
couraging travelling, especially pleas
ure riding. The only exceptions to
this rule are shipbuilders who ride
to and from work. And then, most
of our rolling stock has been shipped
to France.
'One OF EngiandS most colossal
mistakes early in the war was in per-
mitting most of her mechanics and
skilled craftsmen to enlist in the ex
peditionary forces. We soon realized
our error and have recalled many
thousands of such soldiers and re-
turned them to the shops and fac
tories. Even today they are coming
back from the trenches and training
camps. Several of our industries we
consider so important that we do not
permit the enlistment of workers. A
lad of nineteen, provided he has had
two or three years experience at his
trade, is considered far too valuable to
release from shipyard for the army.

Drafted Men Awaiting Call to Arms
Should Be Given Employment
as a Patriotic Duty.

DRAFTED men and men waiting the
call under the draft must have jobs
while they wait-just as good jobs as
they would have if they were not sub
ject to draft or if they were farther
down on the preferred lists. These
men are ready and waiting to go
across seas and to risk privation, sick
ness, wounds and death in order that
their country may be saved. 1t is un-
patriotic and un-American for an en-
ployer to penalize these men merely
because they cannot be permanent, or
to offer them inferior position or lower
pay, or to pass them by entirely when
they apply for work. They should be
given preference and the same job and
same pay that would be offered if
they were permanent and not subject
to draft"
