ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT STRIKES NEW
CONSTRUCTION NOTE IN LABOR APPEAL
Team Work Talk Is Substituted Propaganda
Furnishes Proof of New Recognition Workers
Value in Nations Service andf for Supply
ing Our Armies

From all sides in these days of un-
precedented doings come Indications
of the nations changing viewpoint.
Reporting on a campaign for stimu-
lation Of industry, Captain c. r.
Dickinson, ordnance department., sets
forth facts concerning the kind of ap-
peal the army is making to the work
ers in ordnance plants. These facts
in themselves constitute a recognition
that every man has right to be
recognized rs an equal with every
other man, regardless of his social
or industrial position.
There has been a start made in
propaganda work to stimulate ord
nance production. In this beginning
the workers were addressed thru pos
! tiers. most of which were produced by
| unauthorized persons or agencies, this
wise:
Don't Be Stacker"
And
BE Suspicious of Your Neighbor." F"
Captain Dickinson's report declares
that this kind Of appeal had to be
stopped. "The wrong kind of pos
ters," he calls them, with negative
appeal"
Captain Dickinson's report declares
i necessary to talk team work." with
the idea that this war is the war of
the whole people. "Cognizance has
been taken." he says, "of the insid-
ious propaganda put out by enemies
that this is war for profit by capi-
talists, and efforts have been made
to Offset this type Of appeal"
Team Work Wins" was one of
the departments most successful pos
ters. mot just Hats OF to the Flag,
but Sleeves Up for It," was another.
In addition to posters, the ordnance
department has used leaflets, book
lets, envelope suffers, speakers and
motion pictures. Out Of 2,1S6 plants
being served by the ordnance depart
ment in this way, between 600 and
500 have motion picture projecting
rooms. Almost twenty films have
been routed to arsenals and large
plants with two distinct appeals" the
report says. The first Of these ap-
peals is patriotic, typified in Pcrshing's
Crusaders" The other is the appeal
to pride in workmanship.
Thruout the whole work, as out
lined in Captain Dickinsons report.
the effort has been. not to preach to
working people, but to talk with them
after the fashion of partners on the
same job, each with his share of the
work to do and each with his re-
sponsibility toward the other, in true
democratic manner.
One of the most interesting phases
of the work Captain Dickinson has
had in charge has been in connection
with racial groups Of foreign birth or
extraction. In this the work has been
largely with employers, and there is
reason to believe that many an en-
ployer has been labored with in the
effort to get for the workman of

LABOR LAWS MAKE
GAINS DURING WAR
ANNUAL REVIEW OF CON-
GRESS AND STATES.
Vocational Rehabilitation Laws Are
Perhaps Most Significant, Says
American Association for
Labor Legislation.
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Advances
in labor conservation mark the first
years war legislation, according to the
annual Labor Legislation Review, is
sued today by the American Associa-
ton for Labor Legislation.
Congress and the twenty-five
states and territories which this year
held legislative sessions" says the Re
view, "have almost unanimously in
sisted on upholding, enforcing and ex-
tending labor laws"
Most significant of the new enact
ments are the vocational rehabilita-
ton laws, it is asserted. The United
States has undertaken to re-educate
crippled soldiers and sailors for their
return to industrial life, while Massa-
chusetts has gone step further and
provided vocational rehabilitation for
the great army of workers crippled
every year by industrial accidents.
Special legislative appropriations were
made by both the United States and
Massachusetts to develop an employ
ment service for rehabilitated persons.
The emergency employment service
| for war workers established on an ex-
| tensive scale by the federal govern
ment, altho developed without legis-
| lative sanction, the association points
permanent by legislative enactment in
| the near future.
Further safeguards were thrown
| about the labor of women and chill
dren in Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York, Rhode Island,
Virginia and Wisconsin.
In the field of social insurance, Vir-
ginia became the thirty-eighth state
to adopt workmen's compensation and
Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts,,
New Jersey, New York and Porto
Rico liberalized their compensation
acts. Four states now base compen-
sation for injuries on 55 per cent OF
wages, four on 60 per cent, three on
| 65 per cent, and six on sc % per cent
In eight states official commissions
J have been making surveys of sickness
| conditions among wage earners, with
view to health insurance legislation

BRITISH LABOR
LIKES WILSON'S
WAR ATTITUDE
BOTH FACTIONS ENDORSE
HIS TERMS.
Even Recognized Pacifsts in England
Are Impressed With Our Presi-
dents Stand Toward the
German Junkers.

The remarkably clear, able and firm
reply of President Wilson to the Ger
man note requesting an armistice and
accepting his fourteen points as the
basis for peace have been unanimous
" endorsed by the chief labor organi-
zations of Great Britain.
Both the parliamentary committee
of the Trades Union Congress and the
national executive committee Of the
labor party have expressed their ap-
prevail And even well known pacifists
are impressed by the Presidents ac-
ton.
For instance, Mr.. Phillip Snowden.
NJ. p, well known independent labor
whole, think the second note is very
satisfactory. 1t leaves the door open,
and do not think that in view of the
reply which the Germans gave to the
Presidents interrogations last week
there will be any difficulty in satisfy
ing the other demands he makes"
This is a striking tribute to the in
fluence of President Wilson'S strong
statesmanlike attitude, for only a few
days ago Snowden was using a very
hostile tone toward the President.
The truth is that President Wilson
has effectually spiked the pacifists'
guns. They have been compelled to
realize that his view that force alone
would bring the Germans to reason
has proved correct. 1t can now be said
that British labor was never so united
on the subject of war as at the pres
ent moment, thanks very largely to
the splendid handling of the German
peace feelers by the President
The slump in pacifism which re-
suited from the deliberations of the
interallied labor and Socialist confer
ence continues and the rank and file
of labor. heartened by the favorable
condition on the western front, is not
inclined to listen to peace propaganda
other than that of the kind voiced by
Wilson.
This is manifested in the attitude
of the members of the Boilermakers
Union, a large, powerful organization
whose executive committee had agreed
to somewhat pacifist resolution re-
garding peace. At subsequent meet
ings members of this union have
passed resolutions demanding the un-
conditional surrender of Germany
and calling upon their secretary to
resign for framing the motion. This
is symptomatic of the spirit prevailing
in trade union circles, which has been
strengthened by the sinking of the
Leinster and Hairano Maru.
The reference in President Wilson's
second peace note to the outrages COM
mitted by Germans reflects exactly the
feeling which is widespread here.

foreign lineage fairer deal in better
accord with Americas democratic
spirit.
The report points out that the
"Czecho-Slovaks when they are told
in their own language, that il they
put another ounce of effort in their
work they will be helping to destroy
the Hapsburg dynasty, know exactly
what the speaker is talking about,
since these people have seen their
school houses burned to the ground in
order that they might be forced to
send their children to German
schools"
Efforts are being made to induce
employers to look upon the foreign
speaking workman in the light of their
"Wops" are not considered proper
classihcations by the ordnance depart
ment.
The essence of all this is that labor
by its own sheer necessity in the
scheme Of things today is commanding
respect for its dignity. The soul and
personality, the aspirations and the
hopes, the traditions and the dreams
of man are not made less worthy
by the wearing of a workman's
clothes. They never have been less
worthy, but today those who once
considered them so are brought to a
sharp turn Of the road by the great
fact Of war! And now the ordnance
department teaches that n mans a
man II he does his share in the great
work Of humanity. that service COM
mands respect and that the payment
of wages gives no title to the right
to look down from aloft upon him who
gets the wages.
Captain Dickinson's report dis
cusses strikes almost word for word
in the language of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. 1t says:
"The attitude toward labor has been
that no strikes should be inaugurated
which cannot be justified to the man
on the firing line in France, and to
the employer, inaugurate no indus
trial policy or hold to no practice
which cannot be justified to the man
risking his life on the firing line.
1t is believed that there are wrong
kinds of manufacturers, as well as
wrong kinds of workingmen, and that
the former need education as we'll as
the latter. Federationist.

LABOR PROBLEMS
BEING TAUGHT
COURSE PREPARED FOR
SCHOOLS, COLLEGES.
United States Bureau of Education Is
suing Lessons Dealing With Work
men and Working Women; Many
Topics Covered by Instruction.

Labor problems are being brought
before school pupils thru the work of
the United States bureau of educa-
tion, which, in its series of courses
on community and national life, has
prepared interesting lessons on "The
Worker and the Wage System" and
''The War Labor Administration"
The lessons for the upper classes in
the high schools discuss topics more
advanced than those for lower high
school and upper graded school pupils,
while still more elementary subjects
are provided for the intermediate
grades of the grammar schools.
Topics previously discussed include
the rise of machine industry, social
control, unemployment, labor organi-
zation, employment agencies, employ
ment management and social insur-
ance.
In the high school lesson on "The
Worker and the Wage System" is dis
cussed the rise of the wage system,
which is shown to be of comparatively
modern development, with its result
leaving the worker dependent on the
employer for hire, in speculative So
ciety. The classes of risks that en-
ployers are subjected to are described,
with their consequences in the way of
insecurity for the worker. The in
fiuence of accidents, disease and
fatigue, and the weak bargaining po-
sition of the workman, are presented.
AS remedies for some of the difficult
ties of present-day society, the lesson
goes on to tell of devices for making
capital secure, and consequently in
surfing the workman. The aim of the
lesson is to stimulate constructive
thought on the problems of the wage
worker.
In the lesson for the high school
students in the lower classes, the prob
lens of women in industry are dis
cussed; and in the lesson exclusively
for graded schools, the child labor
problem is taken up.
