LABOR MEETS
WITH CAPITAL
IN Dc. TODAY
Millions of Men and Billions
Of Wealth Seek War
Work Unity.

For the first time IN history. en-
ployers and labor representatives win
meet under government auspices to
solve their problems, when the Labor
Planning Board meets today.
This board. composed of six repre-
sentatives from labor circles and six
representing a figurative capital of
about 1900. .0oo. 900. Is headed by John
Lind. Two members Of the board re-
main to be named. They may be ap-
pointed when the board meets.
Their object Is to formulate gen.
eral policy to be pursued in labor
questions for the duration Of the war.
Added importance is attached to this
by the possibility that the policies SO
decided now may be a basis for a
permanent understanding in the days
after the war.
The questions which will come up
one after another include many
around which labor has waged its bit
terest lights. In addition there are
new ones added by war exigencies.
The problem of dilution of skilled la
Der and alteration OF apprentice re-
Quirements come under this head.
Two outstanding matters are the
open shop and the dilution prob
lem. The open shop" actually has
there phases. There IL the shop where
union and nonunion men freely work;
the shop closed to unions; and vice
versa A possible solution of this, It is
said, Is to allow matters to remain in
statu quo for the duration of the war.
The question of diluting labor may
prove more troublesome; and a set
tlement may be possible with a very
definite understanding of terms.
Secretary Wilson said that such
agreements as may be reached will be
by reason OF circumstances only
general Settlement of any specific
controversy must be made locally, as
has been done in the past. It was
pointed out that both sides must re-
alize the present emergency In their
discussions. The fact that such ad-
justments as are to be made are ef-
fective only while we are at war, is
also counted on to smooth out many
difficulties.

$4,000 FUND
Palestine Zionist Movement
Takes Shape in Weeks
Canvass Plan.

Plans Of District Of Columbia He
brews to raise $4,000 as their share of
the 100000 fund to be collected by
popular subscriptions In America for
the establishment of q Jewish home-
land in Palestine, are expected to cul-
inmate successfully by the end of this
week.
At a meeting held yesterday morning
at the headquarters of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association the Dis
trict was divided into fifty sections,
each one to be covered by young peo-
pie who are to make a house to house
canvass this week for membership in
the Washington Zionist Circle. Men,
bership at this time practically means
enrolment as q subscriber to the
homeland fund.
The total amount pledged yesterday
was approximately 10000. while the
sum OF $l7,055.50 has been remitted for
general Zionist affairs to New York.
With the present campaign of per-
sonal solicitation In force, Il Is ex-
pected that the amount desired will
be easily realized.
New members as asked to subscribe
to this pledge:

established in Palestine in accord.

Will Hays. New G. O. P. Leader,
Regular ''Humdinger' Of Bird;
"Watch Him Put the Jazz in Politics
BY THE SENATOR.

what sort of a bird is VIII Hays,

1 had just got back from the st.
Louis roundup and had ducked
over to headquarters to pull the
box.
He's q humdinger," says I.
Watch him put the jazz into poll

youngest national chairman the Re-
publicans remember, but he's much
older than his years. In Indiana
they begin to play politics before
they get out Of the cradle. VIII

before he came of age. He was
helping run the party before. he
cast a vote. And here's something
that will sound strange to you Chi
cago precinct wallopers; he hasn't
been trying to grab public ONCE.
He was city attorney of Sullivan,
a hamlet near the Wabash, soon
after he busted into the game.
That's all. He hasn't been trying
to slip himself a pat hand every
time it was his deal Strange, isn't
it?
Hays was educated at Wabash Col
lege," I goes on. Its a small col
lege, for men only, and believe me.
it's a college where the students have
to work. It's in Crawfordsville, the
home Of General Lew Wallace, who
wrote Ben Hur.' General Wallace
was a Wabash College man, and when
the civil war broke out he drilled the
students in such good shape that
many Of them came through as gen.
erals, colonels, majors and captains.
Vice President Marshall was a Wa
bash product, too. They cram II into
the noodles Of the students down there
that life Is real and life is earnest.
Hays worked in politics for all he
was worth and became known in
the State as a remarkable organizer.
So in 1914 they made him chairman
Of the Republican State committee.
He had some job before him. Two
years before. in 1912. the Moose had
planted its heels on the ribs OF the
elephant like a trap drummer beat
ing a crash on the kettles. The Demo-
Gratis had copped everything-all the
State Offices. the two Senators and
the thirteen Representatives.
so the Republicans gave Will the
job of breaking in the Moose and
hitching 1t up tandem with the ele-
plant. He jumped at the job. He
performed with great success and, al
though the @. o. P. ticket didn't get
by in 1914, still the returns showed the
vote was getting back. He had man
aged to elect two Representatives Old
lines were being neatly sponged out.
Progressives and Republicans were
beginning to eat at the same barbe-
cues.
Then came 1915, and that's where
Will tore loose as the original human
cyclone. He breeZed up and down the
State and blew into every precinct
nearly. He was on the job eighteen
hours a day and sometimes longer.
The result? Well, the Republicans in
1916 carried Indiana for Hughes, elect
ed State officers. two United States

Campaign Ends with the Desired
Amount Oversubscnbed.

With a flying finish. the people of

night went over the top In their

10000 debt on their church.
When the congregation assembled in

F. McCarron, presiding officer.
Immediately hands began to boo
up throughout the church Of persons
willing to contribute. and within FIVE
minutes more than $500 had been rais-
ed. making the grand total for the
campaign $20,261.
When Thomas ]. Fitzgerald, secre-
tary OF the campaign. announced the
final figures the congregation stood up
and cheered Justify. Rev. Eugene A.
Hannah, pastor OF the church, arose
and told his people that he could not
find words to express his apprecia-
ton for their work in the campaign.
He named one by one the many par
ishioners who carried on the active
work of the campaign.
Prof. Walter Kennedy, of Catholic
University, reminded his fellow par
ishioners that the money they have
contributed not only will pay on the
debt on the present basement church,
but will make possible the erection
after the war OF the proposed super
structure, for which plans already
have been drawn.
Charles w. Floeckher. chairman of
the campaign organization. thanked
the men and women who served on
the teams which made the house-to-
house canvass for contributions, and
paid equal tribute to those who con-
tributed their savings without taking
an active part in the collecting.
Rev. Morris Alexander, assistant
pastor of the church, told the people
they should not feel that they had
merely paid of the debt on a ma
terial building, but that they had con-
tributed 10000 that the work of God
might go on in this world.
Henry /. Quinn called attention to
the fact that the people of st. Mar
tins Church should be proud OF the
fact that they did not have to go out
side their parish to raise the amount
needed to pay their debt.
Practically half of the amount
raised was cash and the balance in
notes payable in three months.

WIN THE WAR
DAY" DESIRED
BY SOCIETIES
Anniversary Of Entry Into
War Suggested for Patri-
otic Revival.

A plan TO observe April 6, the
first anniversary of Americas entry
into war. as National Win the
War Day" has been suggested by
William Mather Lewis, executive
secretary OF the National Commit
tee Of Patriotic Societies.
A statement sent out to the pres
idents OF fifty national patriotic or
CARNATIONS. to Cabinet members
and other government officials says:
Arouse Fighting Spirit.
At the beginning of our second
year in the great war II is fitting
that we have q national consecra-
tion to the task remaining before
US. Because OF numerous working
days lost the past winter Il il not
advisable that the occasion be a
holiday, but in every factory. store,
mine, school and on every farm
there should be a brief period dur
ing the day where everyone who
Is loyal to the flag could stand up
and be counted. Flags should ey-
erywhere be unfurled. At IL o'clock
noon factory whistles and church
bells should send forth a volume
OF sound that will reach Berlin.
Every band in the country will then
play the Star Spangled Banner"
while the people stand at attention.
In the evening in the churches,
halls and theateEs the people can
gather for meetings Of inspiration.
Regiments of the national army
may parade in the cities near the
cantonments.
The winter OF our discomfort"
with its coalless days and congest-
ed railroad and other minor an
noyances is past The spring with
its promise of abundant crops and
increased industrial production is
here.
Encourage Our Fighters.
Now is the time for Americas
home army to mobilize and thus
bring courage to our boys in the
trenches and cantonments and de-
preston to our enemies.
Let Germany feel that this il a
popular war in America. The ef-
feet of having the nation a unit in
patriotic thought on this day can
not be overestimated. 1t will
bring renewed courage and hope to
our brave allies.
Every State council Of defense,
every county and community coun-
Gil. every mayor, every liberty
bond committee, every labor or
ganiZation. every patriotic society,
every school board should at once
lay definite plans to make win the
War Day a great success.

RADOO HALTS PLAN
FOR HUDSON TUBES
Director General Tells Gov. Edge
1t Is Impractical.

Scant hope for consummation of
the project involving the construc-
tion of a tunnel connection between
the Jersey Central terminal and
the Hudson tubes in Jersey City is
held out in a reply from Director
General of Railroads McAdoo to a
letter on the subject from Governor
Edge, OF New Jersey, given out las
night. Governor Edge urged the
proposal because of the advantages
it would afford suburban traffic of
the Jersey Central in quick trans
portatfon under the Hudson river to
and from New York City.
Director General McAdoo, who
built the Hudson tubes, pointed out
that the proposed tunnel would
present some great engineering
and operating difficulties, to say
nothing of the cost of the work"
He suggested that some other plan
Of obtaining the desired result
might be developed.
Surface. connection between the
Jersey Central and the old PennsyI-
vania station. where the tunnel sys-
tenn could be tapped. was mention
ed as a possibility by the Director
General The possibility that the
old Pennsylvania station is not
large enough to care for this addi-
tional burden offers an obstacle to
this plan.
A thorough investigation OF the
situation was promised.
