SIGNS OF UNREST IN
 WAR INDUSTRY LABOR
Fact Develops in Fuel and Shin. ping Board COnference-Ad- vance Sought by Miners Re. fused by Garfield.


 Washington, Aug. 2G.-Unrest on the part of labor in war industries throughout the country developed in conferences with the fuel admi tration and shipping board. Large increases in wages were asked by rep. resentatives of both industries.
 The miners were refused advances by Fuel Administrator Garfield. while the request off the shipbulders is under advisement by the shipbuildina adjustment board. Intimations are that the advance asked will not he granted.
 At the same time, Frank P. Walsh. joint chairman of the war labor board, was hurrying to Bridgeport Conn.,, to address meeting of 5O,0oO machinists employed in the munitions plants there who are threatening a strike vote. Walsh is to seek to hold them at their work until the war labor board can complete it's consid- eration of their case now pending be- fore it. The machinists are demand ing quicker action by the board.
 District presidents of the United Mine Workers of America, who saw Dr. Garfield today, received an un- pleasant surprise. They thought they had but to request further wage advance and it would be granted
 Last October they had come tc Washington with representatives of the operators. and thought they were on a three-year wage contract, the fact that the United States had mean while entered the war was considered a reason for a new contract. The operators agreed to an increased wage and Dr. Garfield then recon mended to the president a 5-cent in crease in the price fixed for bitumin- ous coal to cover the wage increase. The new wage scale was agreed to for two years.
 It has developed since that while this increase was a fair average for the country, it was too much in some districts and too little in others. In some districts the increased labor costs ran as high as so cents and in others were under 40 cents.
 With the margin remaining to the low cost men, they began offering bonuses to labor, $5 to S10 a week in commissary store, cheaper rent in the company houses and in some cases a cash bonus. As a result the miners were lured from the companies who were abiding by the Washington Oc- tober agreement.
 Dr. Garfield announced that the bonus system must end.
 The miners became nervous. They had grown to regard to bonus as a part of their wages.
 If the operators can pay bonus why shouldn't it be added to their wage?" they asked.
 Cost of living is going up. so we have to have more money, anyway
 And so they came to Garfield. He reviewed the history of their last agreement. recalling to them that it was for three years, but that the operators had voluntarily agreed to one increase early last year on in creased cost of living and the increase in the price of coal resulting from the European war and that he himself had been a party to a further in- crease last October because the en- trance of the United States into the war had been matter that they could not have foreseen in making their agreement, and entirely changed all economic conditions.

ANNUAL CALL.
TO RACE
BY the N. E. r. L.
to Meet in Chica.
go Sept. 1913.
TO PUSH RACES CLAIMS
For Justice and Equal Rights
Opportunity Unparalleled
To Colored Americans:

10 Colored Americans:
The year 1918 is a time unusual
and unprecedented in the history of
Americans of African decent. Not
only are they taking part for their
country in an European war for de-
mocracy, but within two months two
National Colored gatherings of en-
tirely different makeup have laid be-
fore the government of the United
States the prescriptions of our race
The Conference of Colored Editors
and others was called together by the
War Department, to which it made
complaint. The National Colored
Liberty Congress was called by ma
tional race committee to hold a peo-
pies convention. From both meet
ings good is resulting.
Expressed in plain uncompromis-
| ing English, our just grievances
were brought squarely before the
House Of representatives, and before
the American people, by said Liberty
Congress and were made a promi-
nent and permanent part of the Con-
gressional Records. June 29, 1879
1t seems providentially fortunate
therefore, that this noteworthy
achievement on the part of the Lib
erty Congress is to be so soon fol-
lowed by the Eleventh Annual Con-
vention of the National Equal Rights
League, to be held in September, in
the City of Chicago.

RECORD MADE BY FOOD ADMIN
ISTRATIoN CAFETERIA.

Six thousand meals, usina only 90
pounds of sugar for all purposes Is
the record established by the cafe
terra in the Food Administration
Building in Washington. This is the
rate Of / pound to l2O meals, and is
il gIowi1g contr st with what the
Food Administration is asking the
American no sewive to do to save
sugar-to use two pounds per person
or | pound for 45 meals.
The Food Administrations cafe
terra feeds an average of 500 persons
per day for the noon meal, and the
amount mentioned covers the use of
sugar for all purposes, including tea,
coffee, deserts, and in cooking Most
of the desserts contain such 5ubstl-
tutes as honey, maNle or other syrups,
and the use o! sugar is confined al
most exclusively to tea and coffee
for those who request it.
The cafeteria management was con-
viuced thai it could make a record
OH sugar saving from the fact that 1t
was so successful in wheat saving.
! No wheat in any form is served, not
even in cooking. Bread is made OF
| cornmeal potato. rice, barley and
corn flours This has been found to
work exceptionally well from the
standpoint of palatability as well as
of nutrition.
Beef is served only once a week,
and then in some form which presents
the opportunity stretch ng the
ouantity-stews, croquettes, casse-
roles and souffles. Fish is served
twice a week as main dish, but is
.,euuent' uscC in splods.
The table and kitchen refuse
amounts to only about 4 ounces per
person per day, including fruit and
vegetable peelings, plate scrapinss,
etc Even this is not wasted. The
peelings from potatoes "a barrel OF
potatoes are used daily are disposed
of for chicken feel. Apple peelings
are used for making a juice which
is the foundation for jellies. O'heI
refuse is turned over to the garbage
collectors AMI finds its way into the
citys reduction plant, which is turn
ing out large quantities Of greases
and tankage, from which munitions
and fertilizers are made.
The cafeteria is self-supporting, bu
not operated for profit. 1t is main
tanned for Food Administration EN-
ployees, who are able to get a varie
ty of appetizing and substantial food
nt moderate cost. The use OF substi
tutes has enabled the cafeteria mar
agement to serve its menus at 10y
prices, in spite of the widespread bt
lief that substitutes are more expeI
siYe.

League in New York City, Mrs. Ida
B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible
champion of equal rights, brought to
us a cordial invitation to hold the
Leagues 1918 Convention in the
city of Chicago, which invitation we
unanimously and heartily accepted.
AT CHICAGO, SEPT. 1919.
Therefore, by the authority vested
in me as President Of the National
Equal Rights League, | do hereby is
sue this call for the Eleventh Annual
Convention of said League to convene
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, of September 18th, 18th, and
10th, in the city of Chicago, Ill.
Fellow Comrades of the National
Equal Rights League, and others,
cannot even begin to express how ur-
gently important it is that our peo-
pie in all sections Of the country
should give prompt and earnest heed
to this call.
BY means Of the great world-wal
all nations and races are being tried
as it were by fire; their real worth
and stamina are being severely test
ed, and none more so than that o.
Colored Americans; and we must no
allow ourselves to be found wanting
A double burden rests upon ou
shoulders while this war lasts; WI
must continue to perform all tn
duties of citizenship, freely sacrific
ing our time, our money and ou
blood for our country; and at tn
same time, we must double, rathe
than diminish our exertions in ou
own behalf, increasingly pressing t
the front our own claims and demand
for an equal share in the possessio
and enjoyment of all those rights fc
which we are fighting. Our ver
freedom and life, and that of our III

born generations, depend upon our
keeping up this double fight.
THE DOUBLE DUTY.

They are half towards, who, while
fighting for their country, will not, at
the same time, demand an equal
chance and square deal. And they
who seek and demand their rights
while unwilling to shoulder their full
share in the nations and the worlds
struggle for freedom, will meet their
deserved defeat
Every considerable race on earth is
involved in this world-war, and the
future of twelve million Colored
Americans, with that of other groups
of peoples, is to be determined in its
issue.
Besides our standing grievances
there are new and perplexing racial
relations and conditions evolving out
of this war that call loudly for our
most earnest and immediate atten-
tion. These new war-created condi-
tions are of such vital significance as
should speedily bring together our
entire race leadership. This war will
result in permanent benefit to us only
IN proportion as we, as race,
through our own appointed leader
ship, and with organization nation
wide, exert ourselves earnestly
promptly and wisely in our own be-
half.
Let every community join this Col
ored Liberty Organizing Drive
Let us as a race get ready to enforce
our claim to World Democracy as an
issue of this world war
Therefore let us get together for
organization as a race to enforce our
claims to world democracy. Every
church, civic, education, fraternal
political and business organization
among our people, without regard tC
sect, sex or party are invited to be
represented in the Chicago conven.
tion by one, two or several delegates
to deliberate on the organizing Of
our race, for self-defense. An espe
cial appeal is made for the quick for
nation of equal rights and democ
racy leagues or committees for thu
purpose Of sending delegates to thil
national Convention for race organ
izatlon for Liberty.
