HYATT BRINGS MESSAGE FROM ~.
j. s. Department Of LABOR
Labor Official Makes Splendid Address At Trades Assembly
Meeting, Appealing For Support Of Government.

avail yourself of all governmental
adjustment boards to settle industrial
disputes before taking matters in your
own hands, 80:
This was the message brought to
the Federated Trades Assembly at it's
meeting last Friday night by Gilbert
E. Hyatt, representing the United
States Department of Labor. Mr.
Hyatt is a former Minneapolis labor
man, and at present is located at
Washington as president of the Ma
tlonal Federation of Postoffice En-
ployes.
The speaker began his address by
pointing with pride to the fact that
the Federal labor department is a
thoroughly trade union body-"from
cellar to roof" managed by men who
are familiar with the philosophy of
the labor movement through years
OF close association. He said it was
the aim of the department to get in
close touch with workingmen in all
parts Of the country, and in further
ance of this object II well-known
labor men are making speaking tours
at present.
1--WE Are In the War;
1.-THE time is past when we can dis
cuss whether the United States should
have entered the war, and the rea-
sons for so doing!" said Mr.. Hyatt;
1.-THE fact is, we are in the war, and
workingmen should do all possible to
make this tie last war. It is erron-
eOus to state that this is rich mems
war, and if the profiteers did start
it, they began something they can't
finish" The speaker then referred
to the recent sensation caused by Lord
LansdOWne, when he made several
peace proposals and stated. that the
war must stop. The fact that Lord
Lansdowne is a spokesman for the
aristocracy of Great Britain lends all
the more significance to the assertion
and is indicative Of the attitude OF
the wealthy class, said Mr.. Hyatt
Labor has more at stake in this war
than any other GLASS;" he continued
"for democracy means more to the
workers and is essential to their well
fare"
The Friend of Labor.
In showing why labor should give
it's whole-hearted support to the war
Mr.. Hyatt laid particular emphasis
on the fact that the administration is
the friend of labor, and he who is
an enemy of labor is an enemy Of the
administration.
more safeguards have been thrown
around labor and it's protective stand
ards now than at any time by any

other government" he said efforts
have been made to provide boards of
Cancellation and every other means
for the adjustment of labor disputes.
1t is apparent that labor asks only
for a square deal, and the boards
have been created to see that it gets
it,"
That there is no justification for
the CONSUMPTION of labor was the
sincere belief Of the speaker, and he
also referred to Secretary of Labor
Wilson's position in this matter.
Points Out Need of Shops.
Mr.. Hyatt dramatically pointed out
the dire necessity for ships, stating
that the problem of transportation is
one of the biggest factors in the war.
He pointed out that there were large
stocks of wheat in, Australia, but that
no ships were available to move the
grain. That shipbuilding Will remain
an important industry long after the
war, according to Mr.. Hyatt, is at
tested by the fact that the tonnage
so far destroyed in the war cannot
be replaced inside of eight years.
Don't give up the ship; and the
department Of labor will see that you
get square DEAL" was the perora ton
of Mr.. Hyatt's splendid address.

Other Business.

Besides hearing the speech by Mr..
Hyatt, the Trades Assembly adopted
resolutions asking pardon for
Thomas Mooney Gas related by an
article on the first page), and decided
not to take out a membership in the
Commercial club. A committee ap-
pointed at the previous meeting to
ascertain if the assembly were quail
fled reported that membership
could be taken out through an indi-
vidual delegate of the labor body.
After an exciting discussion it was
considered indiscreet to affiliate with
the club.
A communication was received from
the St. Paul Trades and La Dor Assem-
bly, submitting a copy of the legisla-
tive program formulated by that or
ganization which will be pushed at
the next session of the state legis-
lature. The matter was referred to the
legislative committee of the local
body.
The Cinco cigar was reported as
still on the unfair list, and the dele
gates were urged to discourage it's
sale in the city.
The meeting was one of the best
attended in several mont S, many new
delegates being obligated, including
three from the Postoffice Clerks

BOULEVARD TO CONNECT

Survey Bureau of Quaker City
Prepares Plans Endorsed by
Chamber of Commerce.

Philadelphia, March 15.-Plans have
been prepared by the Survey Bureau Tor
a boulevard to extend from the city line
at Cobbs Creek TO the Delaware State
line. The roadway is intended to afford
traffic facilities to the residential develop
mcnts in Delaware County, but cannot
be built until after action by the Legs
lation.
The plans, us drawn by Chief Albright,
have the indorsrmc MT of the Chamber
of Commerce, but the whole project
being hrvond the city limits, nothing
further can be done until state action
results.
The route Of the roadway, rs tentatively
decided upon, lies about mile back OF
the Delaware River and extends between
Norwood and Essington, touching Ridley
Park and EddyStonc and through the
western section Of Chester. Beyond
Chester il parallels the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to tho State line.
Connection would be made At = point
on the south side of Cobb's creek with
two roads leading into the city, one
over the Passyunk avenue bridge and the
other over the Pcnrosc Ferry Bridge.
These two roads would cncircle the area

LARGEST CONCRETE
SHIP IS LAUNCHED
Faith" Leaves Ways at Atlantic
Port; Engineers Approve
New Vessel.
BY Associated Press TO Every Evening

A Pacific Port, March l5.-The largest
concrete ship in the world was launched
here yesterday If the vessel stands
all tests the builders hope this type will
help solve the nations need for ships.
Every step Of the construction has been
watched by the Government The vessel
Is 800 feet between perpendiculars, "A &
feet wide and 80 feet deep, and when load
cd will draw twenty-four feet of water
Her displacement will be7 90 tons and she
will have carrying capacity Of 5000
tons and make ten or eleven knots an
hour with triple expansion engines,
furnishing 1850 horsepower. She is ten
times larger than any concrete vessel now
on record in this country.
Advantages claimed for the new vessel,
which was christened the Faith, are that
concrete construction does not interfere
with steel construction. Plenty Of CON
crete can be had Concrete vessels can
be built for the present cost of wooden
vessels Concrete vessels of 1900 tons
can be launched within ninety days after
work starts, while the cost Of the "plant"
is "as $4,000 TO $500, 900 compared
with steel shipyard.
