by mediation and conciliation, of every
controversy arising between employ
ers and workers in the field of pro-
duction necessary for the effective
conduct of the war.
80. To do the same in similar
controversies in other fields of ac-
tivity-delays and distractions in
which may, in the opinion of the ma
tional board, affect detrimentally such
production.
''3. To provide such machinery by
direct appointment, or otherwise, for
selection of committees or boards to
sit in various parts of the country
where controversies arise, to secure
settlement by local mediation and con-
ciliation.
"a. To summon the parties to the
controversy for hearing and action by
the national board in case of failure
to secure settlement by local media
tion and conciliation."
If this mediation and conciliation
fails to bring about a voluntary set
tlement, and if the members of the
national board shall be unable to
reach a unanimous award, then the
national board is to select an umpire
for the case. If they cannot choose
the umpire by unanimous vote, the
President of the United States is to
nominate ten men suitable for the
place, and one is to be chosen by lot
from among the ten.
In all committees selected by the
national board, in this work of un-
dertaking to establish industrial har-
mony thruout the nation, the employ
ers and the workers are to have equal
representation.
Workers Turn Tide.
1t appears that while the five labor
members of the present board all
took part in the discussion, it was the
influence of Olander of Chicago and
Hutcheson of the Carpenters, backing
up Walsh, which really turned the tide
in favor of an agreement. Walsh
was able to persuade Taft that these
men, in their definite statements of
the minimum demands of labor, rep
resented a conservative rather than a
radical element of the wage workers
of the country, and that the principle
of the living wage and the right of
workers and employers to organize
could only lead to better understand
ing and mutual advantage. Taft, in
turn, broke down the opposition of the
five employers, four of whom were
typical anti-union standpatters.
If the board is retained to carry out
its own declaration of principles, as
seems quite likely, Taft may win a
reputation as powerful friend of
the living wagei

Denver labor bulletin., 1918-04-06

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Denver Trades and Labor As
sembly was called to order at 7:30 p.
m. Tuesday evening, April 2, in Paint
ers Union hall, 1747k Arapahoe
street, by President Peregrine, with
all officers present except the record
ing secretary, Thomas P. Rodgers, who
was reported i'll and unable to leave
his home. Business Agent Earl r.
Hoage acted in the capacity of record
ing secretary for the meeting. De-
spite the inclement weather, there was
a large attendance of delegates pres
ent and a very interesting and lively
meeting was held.
Two new organizations were added
to the roll call, when credentials were
received from Postoffice Clerks No. 299
and Machinists Union No. AT. While
the Machinists Union is not new
affiliation with the Assembly, it has
not been represented in the central
body for long time, and the dele
gates were much pleased to have this
large and progressive union again en-
rolled with them in their work for the
labor movement of this city. The
Postoffice Clerks is a real new addi
tion to the Assembly and are repre-
SellIeu ny d llNe utleSdIioil.
Among the communications of in
terest to the delegates was one from
the Metal Polishers and Buffers Union
No. A of Newark, N. j., stating that a
strike was on at the Altha Tool Com
pany of that city. This concern is
owned and controlled by the Stanley
Rule and Level Company of New Brit
tain, Conn, who have always been an
tagonistic to organized labor. The
communication was turned over to the
Label League and campaign will be
started shortly to bring the matter
to the attention of all local unions in
the state and the union men requested
not to purchase the products of this
concern.
The Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stable
men and Helpers Union No. 575 pre-
sented new wage agreement to the
Assembly for endorsement. The new
agreement calls for an increase in
wages ranging from So to SO per week
and nine-hour work day. The As
sembly endorsed the agreement and
instructed the mediation and concilia-
tion committee to lend all assistance
possible to this union in their efforts
to secure the new scale of wages.
The following resolution, which was
turned over to the legislative commit
tee at the last meeting of the Assem-
bly, for investigation, was, on recon-
mendation of the legislative commit
tee, unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That Congress shall i'm

chinists, is here with a delegation
from the Puget Sound shipyard
crafts, who are asking an upward re-
vision of the wage scale on the Pa
cific coast. The 25,000 men in the
Puget Sound yards estimate that the
cost of living has increased IA per cent
since last October, and a shipping
board Investigator figured the in
crease at SA per cent. The shipyard
labor adjustment board here has re-
fused to increase the wage rate. The
delegation is asking for a review of
this denial, and in case of refusal its
next recourse will be to an appeals
board, made up of three workers and
three government representatives.
Labor Delegation Sails.
The delegation of seven American
labor officials and Chester M. Wright
ance for Labor and Democracy, is an
nounced to have sailed for England.
1t goes at the expense of the British
government, thru an arrangement
proposed by a British mission here,
and it will tour the English industrial
centers to assist in the campaign of
speeding up the war among the Brit
ish workers. Upon its return it will
assist in speeding up war production
in the United States.
Until the time of its departure it
was understood to be going at the
instance of President Wilson. This
impression has now been corrected.
The President will not intervene in
the British labor argument, in view
of the fact that his utterances on the
war have been endorsed more warmly
by the labor party, which politically
opposes Lloyd George, than by the
premier himself.
Seamen's Case Advanced.
The Strathearn case, which in
wolves the refusal of a British ship
master at New Orleans to pay half
his wages to a sailor who quit the
ship in that port, has been certified to
the United States supreme court, and
motion to advance it on the calen-
dar was made last week. The case
comes under section A of the seamen's
act, which protects the sailor, when
he exercises his personal freedom to
quit, from losing all the wages due
him. 1t is his safeguard of economic
freedom while hunting new job. The
lower court decided for the shipmas-
ter and against the constitutionality
of the act.
The Seamen's Union is going to
carry up to the highest court also
the adverse decisions at New Orleans
and New York on the anti-crimp sec
tion of the act. Shipmasters refused
to pay to the sailor, who had earned
the money, the fees they had advanced
to the crimp for getting the sailors
for them, in foreign ports. One case
affects a foreign ship and the other
an American ship.

The communication from the

the Assembly at the last meeting, re-

communication to all affiliated locals,
requesting them to take action on a
proposed general strike all over the
country should the governor of Cali

sentence of Tom Mooney for alleged

plots, and which was referred to the
Legislative committee, was turned back
to the Assembly with the recommen-
dation that it be given to the special
committee having this matter in
charge.
The legislative committee further
reported that an ordinance licensing
elevator pilots and starters was about
to be presented to the city council
The matter of the recent increase in
gas rates, referred to the legislative
committee, was next taken up. The
committee reported that the cost of
starting a suit was prohibitive and
recommended that the whole matter
be dropped. The Assembly concurred
in the committees report. 1t seemed
to be the sentiment of the delegates
that the Assembly had plenty of trou-
BILE to occupy its time, without taking
up public questions along this line.
The committee recommended that
the proposed pig ordinance matter be
dropped and the recommendation was
concurred in.
The committee on organization re-
ported that the question of organizing
the policemen was not advisable at
this time, and the Assembly concurred
in the recommendation of the COM
mittee to drop the matter.
Business Agent Earl r. Hoage made
lengthy and detailed report on his
activities in behalf of the Assembly
during the past two weeks. The re-
port shows that much benefit has re-

streets have one word in big letters

are to vote in this election for the first
time, so they are an unknown quantity,
but hope they will vote right. Much
depends on them.
The Bulletin got in ahead of me,
as you will see by enclosed printed
literature, which has been circulated
by the thousands-in fact, in 10000

ious to see and hear the editor-if he
backs up what he prints, as they say.
Well, they are soon to discover that
he does.
A prohibition spellbinder from Lans-

we have adjoining rooms. Seems a
very clever chap. A fellow who styles
himself "The Kansas Cyclone" is here
speaking for the "wets." Newspapers
are about evenly divided for and
against. Some of the society women
are holding "wet, teas" and preaching
for a continuation of the saloon. This
