"THEM GUYS IN WASHINGTON
Government Official Hears
Himself Discussed, Pro and Con,
on the French Battlefront.

A delightful anecdote is cabled the
New York Times by it's Paris CORE
spondent. The story is printed in the
Stars and Stripes, the American news
paper published by the soldiers of the
Expeditionary Corps on the battle
front 1t concerns a civilian in a
derby hat who strolled into a garage
in a town on the American front in
France where dozen chauffeurs were
sitting around a stove swapping
yarns.
"Well, how do you boys like it
here? ?" asked the visitor. They ans
wered his question: Some of them
liked it and some did not.
"TeH you what, guy" said one of
the hardest of the car propellers,
"things is better than what they uster
be. Time was when we got nothing
but canned Willy and hardtack for
Sunday dinner and didn't get any
days off after driving the big birds
up to the front and hanging around
all night. Now, though things are
better all along the line. Guess some
body must Of tumbled to his job
down in Washington"
"Oh," said the stranger civilian,
with just a little smile around the
corners of his mouth. $50 you think
someone in Washington was to
blame?"
"Sure, and why wouldn't we?" an
swered the informative person. owe
know all the people high up here and
thy're onto their jobs now. Chances
are if they can't get things for US
that they can't get 'em themselves
from Washington to hand out to US.
Sometimes think some of them guys
in Washington is fightin' this war in
France-hOnest, l do"
CAV, don't know that they have
done so bad," piped up another. "You
can't expect 'em to fit out million
men overnight, when they were only
geared to fit out about a hundred
thousand before we got into it. Give
'em a chance, | say. And another
thing" he persisted, "that gets my
goat is the way the papers back
home slams this guy Baker, the Sec
retary of War. He's up against a
helluva tough job for even lawyer
to handle, and editors that's pannin'
him would probably do darn sight
worse with it. He must be a smart
son of gun or the President wouldn't
have picked him out for it."
The civilian laughed, and then
"Well, boys, I've got to be running
along" he said. "Who knows? Some
one of these fine days | may be wash
ing the top of a car and some Of you
may be Secretary of War;"
And Secretary Baker, who was en-
joying one of his little incognito visits
to get right at the facts as the men
see them, slipped out.

whom the matter was pending, would
be sure to overrule him. He said:
"My personal opinion is that the
whole bunch should be kept in Jail.
However, | don't want to appear
stubborn in the face of the Supreme
Courts ruling in the Weinberg case.
Bail granted"
Three of the defendants are now at
liberty and with a determined fight
Labor will free Mooney and Billings
also. In view of the enormous pres
sure brought to bear upon Governor
Stephens by the financial interests of
the country, it is advisable that in
dividual unionists and central bodies
continue to write him requesting that
he comply with the wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson and pardon Mooney.
The time is short and no effort
should be spared in making Governor
Stephens acquainted with the senti-
ment of Labor.
Another attempt to suborn perjury
IN the cases came to light recently.
David Farber, a former friend of
Weinberg's, admitted in the presence
Of Detective Sergeant Tom Furman
Of the San Francisco Police Depart
ment that he was employed by Flick
ert to attempt to blibe Weinberg to
swear Moneys life away. Furman
confronted Farbar with Weinberg a
few days after Weinberg's release
and Farbar admitted the charge
with the exception of the amount of
the bribe he was told to offer
Weinberg.
"You will be paid $4,000 or $20,-
0O0," said Farbar one day in the
county Jail, eff you swear that you
carried Mooney down Market street.
You can swear that you didn't know
where Mooney was going or what he
was going to do. A committee of rich
Jews have asked me to make you this
offer. You will also get tickets for
your wife and family to any place
you want to 60"
Farbar admitted to Weinberg be-
fore the interview was over that
Fickelt sent him with the offer-not
committee of rich Jews" Vein
berg spurned the bribe and told Far
bar that he'd sooner be hanged him
self than send an innocent man to the
gallows.

Include Dollars
In COnsCription
FAIR TO CONSCRIPT WEALTH
: AS WELL AS LABOR
While the Government COnscripts for
Service, Employers Would do
so for Exploitation

In a speech before national or
ganization of platform lecturers,
American Federation of Labor Secre-
tary Frank Morrison took the argu-
ment of labor conscriptionists and ap-
piled it to themselves. He declared
that if it is necessary for the nation
to live, organized workers will accept
the governments dictum that every
thing shall be thrown into the COM
mon lot, with every citizen placed on
soldiers rations.
"The trade union movement opposes
the conscription of labor unless wealth
is likewise conscripted," he said.
"The claim that labor should be
conscripted on the same Theory that
the country drafts its citizens for mil
itary purposes is not correct COM
parison. The government conscripts
it's citizens for service, the employer
would conscript for exploitation.
Courts have repeatedly drawn a
sharp line between civilian and mill
tary life, and while in theory no one
can deny the governments right to
draft any citizen for any purpose it
sees fit when the nations life is in
jeopardy, the dollar should at least be
forced to surrender it's per cent rights
just as labor would be called upon to
surrender it's rights of freedom.
Labor notifies the elements that
urge conscription of labor that it will
go farther than they will and that it
will be the first to accept the gov
ernment's dictum-if that time ever
comes-that every ounce of man pow
er and every dollar and other evidence
of wealth must be thrown in the COM
mon lot with every citizen on soldiers
rations that the nation may live.
eve notify these employers and
their spokesmen in the United States
Senate that they cannot use the war
to establish principles of peonage that
they long for when the days of peace
return, while they insist on interest
and on the establishment of deprecia-
tion funds, so that when the war ends
it will be found that they have not
only maintained well-rounded profits
during this period of stress but that
the people have paid for the equip
ment to make these profits"

OUR FLAG SPEAKS

You call me Old Glory
In song and in story,
You call me the banner you love.
How oft have you told
That you love each bright fold
AS it floats in the heavens above!
Would you leave me to-day
The plaything and prey
Of despot far over the sea?
OR will you enroll
With your heart and your soul
For the banner that floats DER the
Free?
What dross is your gold
If you shrink and withhold
That gold in the time of my need!
The wealth you deny me,
When tyrants defy me,
Is pitiful profit indeed!
You waved me for years
And hailed me with cheers
When war was not here to affect
me;
What part have you shown
In the Liberty Loan?
HOW MUCH WILL YOU GIVE
TO PROTECT ME-?

When a union man buys goods
without the union label he is doing
just what he condemns employers for
doing-employing non-union labor.
When the members of unions fully
appreciate this fact the labor move
ment will advance much more rapid
ly, working conditions will improve
and life be made worth living. These
are worthy objects and easily achiev-
ed. Demand the union label.
