(By Chester M. Wright of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy

Four extremely interesting Britons
are in America in response to an
invitation from President Samuel
Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
These four men are members of
organized labor in England. They
come from the heart of a labor
movement in a land almost under
the German guns. They come from
where the war is.
These men are w. A. Appleton,
Secretary of the General Federation
of Trade Unions; Charles Duncan,
M. P, General Secretary of the
Workers Union; Joshua Butterworth
of the Shipwrights' Union; and Will
liam Moses, of the Pattern-makers'
Union Mr.. Moses is Secretary of
the delegation.
A thousand questions come to
mind when men like these come
travelling through our country.
A thousand details lacking from
your mental picture of the war come
to mind and you try to gain from
the visitors the information that will
fill in the blank spaces for you.
All of these questions drive around
two big points: What is the war
really like? and How are the men
and women cover there" standing
the strain?
Nobody tries to gloss over the real
ty of war. War is hell. That's all
there is to it. He'll bred in Germany.
Duncan so declared within a few
hours after he had landed. He had
never heard that General Sherman
had made the characterization i'm
mortal and was intensely interested
when told that the words were Sher-
mans. But Duncan said, "The war
is hell. The Germans started it.
then let the Germans smell hell"
Appleton had been in the trenches
in Flanders shortly before he started
for America. His description is
graphic. If you're where Appleton

will not get the best men there at
first, though they may come later.
There will be impudent boys;
there will be boys who will not
work; you can not help that; but
those isolated cases do not prove
that the great bulk Of American la
Dor in this country is unpatriotic
If / believe that statement, | would
favor making immediate peace with
the Kaiser on the best terms l
could get. We can not win this
war unless American citizens gener-
ally and American workmen in par
ticular are patriotic,
at is no way to make workmen
satisfied and contented and efficient
to call them names; to call them
Bolshevikis; that is not the way to
do it. There is a great labor prob
lem in this country; there is a
greater one in England; there is a
great one in France; and the great
est one of all in Russia; but the
way to solve that problem is by
calm, dispassionate argument and
debate and counsel with one an
other, and not by abusing laborers
and making eX parte statements
against them"

ROLPH MAKES GOOD
HIS PROMISES TO
ORGANIZED LABOR

Less than year ago Mayor Rolph
of San Francisco, went to Eureka,
Humboldt County, California, and
started a wooden shipyard. He an
nounced he would run his yard OH
the "closed shop" basis with union
labor. The lumbermen of Eureka,
who assume to run everything and
everybody (all same Kaiser), in
formed Mr.. Rolph he would have to
abandon his union labor ideas or he
would get no lumber for his ship
yard. Rolph answered that he
would run shipyard and build
ships, but he would buy no lumber
from Eureka lumbermen. The fol-
lowing from the Eureka Labor News
shows what happened subsequently:
With the launching of the "Con-
queror" at Rolph begins the first Of
what promises to be long list of
wooden vessels to be constructed by
union men getting union wages, the
eight-hour day and other union con-
ditions. The coming of Rolph to
Humboldt was warmly welcomed
by all the people of this community
except those mossbacks who still adj
here to long hours and the non
union shop theory. The hopes chat
were aroused in labor union circles
when Rolph made his announcement
of less than a year ago on what his
attitude towards labor would be are
being realized today. Not only is
an increasing body of men in the
Rolph shipyards reaping the bene-
fits that union shop affords but the
example is helping to awaken other
workers in other industries to a
realization of the need of organiza-
ton.
To Rolph belongs the credit of be-
ing willing to grant his employees
the top-notch conditions they have
won in the field of labor by years
of struggle and sacrifice in the la
Dor movement as a whole. To him
belongs the credit of granting these
conditions in non-union community
where all the power of the lumber
trust and the A. B. Hammond union
smashing outfit brought all the pres
sure of which they were capable to
bulldoze Rolph into running his
shipyard nine hours and conducting
it on an open shop basis. They re-
fused to sell Rolph lumber and all
the shipbuilding he has done thus
far has been done with lumber
brought here from the north.
Rolph has made good his promises
of less than year ago. Yesterday
he and his party of more than one
hundred San Francisco guests came
here to witness the launching of his
first boat. The workers of this
community may not be so profuse in
showering their praises on Rolph as
some of the rest of our citizens but
deep down in their hearts there is
feeling of appreciation that is more
genuine than that which comes from
any other class of people in our
community. On the other hand
Rolph is showing his appreciation of
the fact that labor will create for
him all the wealth that he may get
from his venture in the shipbuilding
industry. 1t is not every employer
who recognizes this fact. And just
because Rolph does recognize it and
is willing to meet his employees half
way, he is a welcome visitor in our
midst.

Army Motor Service
Control Is Unified
New Transport Corps Takes
Over Cars Of Many
Branches
(Speciut Disputeh to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Motor
transportation facilities for every de-
partment of the army will hereafter
be controlled by the Motor Transport
Corps. the War Department announced
to-day. Heretofore motor vehicles
have been assigned to various depart
ments for their exclusive use. Under
the new plan they will be operated
under one control for the benefit Of all
departments.
In Washington, where the need for
passenger cars for official business is
great, an elaborate taXicab system has
been established, consisting of thirteen
stations connected with an adequate
system of telephones. Officers above
the rank OF captain are provided with
cards emitting them to call govern
ment cars when needed, for official
business only Junior officers and civil
service employees must have trip tickets
to gain the use of the special service.
A bus service, operated on schedule
between principal buildings occupied
by army organizations provides trans
port over regular routes for officers and
employees on official business. The new
system will reduce the motor equip
ment necessary for the army's use by
about 33 per cent. The vehicles re-
leased from domestic service will be
available for overseas duty.
Joy riding, the evasion of state
license fees by privately owned vehicles
masquerading as government cars, and
other abuses will be prevented by the
rule requiring all army trucks, cars and
motorcycles to be painted olive drah
and stenciled L. s. A. on the sides and
rear and by the words "For official use
only All chauffeurs will be limited
