THE CHANGE. :;

September, 1918, found the work
ers of our country in a different sit
uation than ever before-vastly diff
ferent. During less~tha a. year and
half our nation has organized and
shipped overseas more than a million
and a half of soldiers. Practically
another million of men are in train
ing in the different camps and can
tonments, while at the same time our
naval force, has expanded tremen-
dously and is doing very efficient
work patrolling the seas, escorting
transports and defending coastwise
shipping. -
America has entered into the war
for the liberties of all mankind and
is playing a mans part. Our indus
tries are being organized to supply
the large force we have raised and
those about to be raised by the new
man-power bill just going OBJECT,
which is expected to register no less
than 100000 more men, to be as
signed to the different classifications
in the selective draft.
Tremendous changes in industries
will be brought about. Much female
labor will be employed, not because
we believe in it, but because we are
forced to set aside some of our be-
liefs temporarily in order to put
every force and reserve power that
we have into the war against the
Huns.
1T has been said recently that Ger
many is the only nation that has put
all she had into the war. In other
words, every resource possessed by
Germany: was utilized and scientific
cally organized for war-making pur-
poses, and the. allied powers must
approximate that standard if we are
to preserve our homes and firesides
for ourselves and our posterity.
We men of labor know that the
burden is coming heavy upon us;
that we must work as meyer before;
that our loved ones must be produc-
tive as never before, and that we
must save as never before. =,
It is our war duty that while our
brothers and friends are laying down
their lives in France, while they are
fighting and. dying for us, we must
be working and saving and paying
for them.
With the wages that we earn, we
! must save all we can and lend it to
the government to help win the war,
to support our own brothers at the
front and to perpetuate our"own lib
critics at home.

youngsters begging you not to-then

It's an Old, Old Story.
"Ignoran foreigners? This man
has several generations of American
ancestry behind him. and was scho DOL

smith. -
1T is all an old story to the read
ers of thee1abor press; the; stories of
blacklisting, !of browbeating. Of com
pany guards, bulls of coal cars grow
ing in height, and depth and breadth,
and still officially: holding the same
old amount of coal; of men being
denied the privilege of going to the
postoffice, of unionism being stamped
out, wherever it seemed to show, as
ruthlessly as the government stamps
out treason in these war times"

ers and certain labor officials, that
no more shops should be .unionized
during: the war. That order; directly
violates President Wilson's proclama-
ton of principles upon which the
War Labor board was established.
Judge MCGEE, chairman of the Min
nesota Public Safety commission, has
tried to enforce the open shop rule
against the employees in the plant of
the Steel & Machinery company. The
strike now in progress, and the polit-
icat struggle of the organized labor
and organized farmer forces in Min
nesota to capture the governorship
and rid the state of MCGEE and his
terrorist methods, are so closely in
terlOcked that the War Labor board
will have difficulty in knowing, at
any given moment, whether it is in
vestigating an industrial plant or the
government of Minnesota.
=. Federation Has Big Program.
go Something new is happening in the
labor world Of the United States. The
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes is not merely publishing pro-
gram for the period of reconstruction
after the war, but it is Setting about
the hard job of carrying that program
through. It's recent convention at
Chicago, with delegates present from
hundred local unions adopted res
olutions declaring: r.
l. That the, government should
guarantee to the returning soldiers
and sailors and to all Sciyifians the
opportunity to earn a living.
2. That women engaged in indus
try at the close of the war should not
be forced out to make room for men,
nor be made to undesbii. men in order
to retain theiE. jobs. =. ~ 4
3. That the aged workers and chill
dren should be taken out of industry
for their own good and for the good
of the community.
4. That except thfoi1En the usual
efficiency tests, the returned soldiers
and sailors should not be given civil
service jobs merely as a. means of dis
charging the debt of the public to
these men. u.s.; .yisare =.
Committees were appointed to con-
slider and report means for making
these demands effective. The con-
vention voted that some of the meas
ures needed were:
Old age, health, and unemployment
insurance, backed by minimum wage
legislation.
A national program Of construction
of public works
Preparation of farms for the re-
turned soldiers and sailors and war
industries workers.
Control of prices on the necessaries
of life in the interest of the worker
and consumer.
Heavier taxation of big incomes and
big fortunes, with taxation of land
held idle for speculative purposes.
Luther G. Steward, president of the
organization, is the promoter of this
program, which closely resembles the
demands Of the British and Austral-
ian workers. In the federal employees
unions are some $4,000 government
employees, most of them having high
school or. college training, and having
a standard of living that makes them
dissatisfied with the present situa-
ton of the government clerk. They

are likely to become big fat tor in
the agitation for greater share of
power for organized labor in the gov
eminent, and they will agitate partic-
ularly through politics. Their maya
zine. the Federal Employe, prints in
its September number an account Of
the defeat of Congressman Borland,
who tried to force government en-
ployes to work an extra six hours each
week. They fought him in the pri-
mary in Kansas City,. and he was
beaten more than two to one in the
city precincts and by 6,72S in the
whole district.
In that connection it should be
noted that Representative Edward
Heating of Colorado, who has had the
enthusiastic support of these gov
eminent employees and postal men,
bers, along with the rest of the labor
movement, has been renominated in
Colorado by some 1000 majority,
which insures his reelection in No
