Will. ESTABLISH
NATIONAL LABOR
POLICY FOR WAR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Virtual
reorganization of the department Of
labor has been decided on by Secre-
tary Wilson as the first move in a
plan to establish a war labor admin
istration which will formulate broad
national labor policy for the duration
Of the war.
This step was recommended by
special labor advisory council named
by Secretary Wilson two weeks ago
to assist him in working out a pro-
gram. A war labor administration
was proposed in the council of ma
tional defense and approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, who put under Secre-
tary Wilson's direction all government
activities relating to labor problems.
Taking up first the most difficult
task confronting him, that of bring
ing capital and labor together in an
arrangement to end strikes, it has
been learned Secretary Wilson will call
both sides Immediately to form a joint
board to meet in Washington to agree
on general principles to govern their
relations during the war. Each side
will be asked to name five represent
atlVeS, VINO IN turn Will select one
person each representing the general
public, making a board Of ~ men,
bers.
The war labor administration will
be centered in the reorganization and
enlarged labor department.. Secre-
tary Wilson will be supreme labor
administrator and industrial service
sections of other government depart
ments, although they will continue
their activities as at present, will be
centralized under his control.
Seven new labor departments or
bureaus will be created. The most
important of these will be an adjust
ment bureau, which will deal with
industrial disputes. The others will
be designated: Conditions of labor; in
formation and education; woman in
industry; training and dilution; hous-
ing and transportation and personnel.

LABOR SUPPLY
and DEMAND IN
EXACT BALANCE

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Labor sup
ply and demand. in the United States
are in exact balance, according to
statement issued from the newly
opened office OF the United States
employment service attached to the
department of labor. The only draw
back to an exceptionally favorable
situation, it is declared, is the num-
Der of men, particularly those of the
building trades in many sections.
who doubtless will have to take up
different lines of work in other To-
calities, where labor will be in de-
mand for essential purposes such as
shipbuilding."
Except for temporary inconven-
lences," says the statement, 1.-The
United States employment service be-
lleves that practically every able and
willing worker can be we'll EMPLOYED
during the current year and that the
needs of every industry can in a rea-
sonable time be filled up to 100 per
cent?
Summary of Conditions.
A summary Of official reports of

The principal California cities re-
port the labor supply far in excess Of

supplied and why we have a shortage
in rifles and shells. You also will find
that 'unrestrained selfshness,'' as
President Wilson called it, is really to
blame for the coal shortage and the
breakdown of the railroads. It also
caused the curtailment in steel and
copper production. Much of the red
tape Of which Mr.. Roosevelt COM
plains was simply necessary attempt
on the part of honest government Of
ficials to check and limit the extor-
tionate prices fixed in contracts which
were let by certain members of the
Council of National Defense to cor
porations with which they had close
connections. But Mr.. Roosevelt does
not complain about this piratical
profiteering; his chief objection seems
to be that it was stopped by red tape
TO this extent he is dealing only with
effects and not trying to remedy the
underlying; cause. If he wants to do
the country real service he might
exhort some of his big business
friends to surrender their profits with
the same degree of ready sacrifice
that the poor have given of their
earnings to carry on the war. I think
this would do more to expedite the
war than Mr.. Roosevelt's obvious ef-
forts to become secretary of war or
the first third term president.
Anticipates Abuse.
"Of course I expect a fresh volley
of abuse directed at my own head be-
cause I am not afraid to criticize Mr.,
Roosevelt" President Townley contin-
ued. I'm some circles it is considered
high treason to attack the profiteers
or to disagree with the Colonel. These
same persons and newspapers, how
ever, seem to think it all right to Bit
terly attack the government.
Anticipating this abuse, merely
wish to point out that the Nonpar-
tisan league has been squarely behind
the government ever since the war
began. I refer you to the resolutions
passed by the Nonpartisan league con-
ference at st. Paul on Sept. 20. These
give truer insight into the real at
titude Of the league than, false inter-
pretations placed upon these reso1u-
lions by a hostile press or of words
which have been put in my mouth by
lying newspapers.
LET me conclude by stating that
in my judgment Mr.. Roosevelt not
only is choosing very inopportune
time to launch his presidential cam
paign at home, but his violent and I'M
called for attack also will have a very
harmful effect abroad. I do not see
how it can help hardening the resist
ance of the German people and thus
p1olong the war. Mr.. Roosevelt has
been very vituperative in denouncing
the "Huns" within our gates"
think he might do we'll to carefully
review his own actions in view Of his
previous statements: So. far as I
know he has no special. license as a
public disturber and there is no rea-
son why rules which apply to others
should not apply to him."
