WANTS WOMEN NAMED
ON WAR LABOR BOARD

Appointment of two women as mem
bers of the National War Labor
Board, one of them to be trade
unionist. is urged in telegram to
President Wilson and the Secretary
of Labor from the executive board
of the National Women's Trade Union
League. This information is made
public through the Washington head
quarters of the league, in q telegram
from the national president, Mrs.
Raymond Robins, and the secretary,
Miss Emma Steghagen Of Chicago,
where the executive board is now in
session.
Telegram to the President.
The telegram to the President reads
as follows:
THE executive board of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League.
in meeting assembled. recognizing
the increasing responsibilities resting
upon the woman workers at this war
crisis. urges upon you the appoint
ment of two women to the National
War Labor Board, one of whom shall
be a trade unionist."
Practically every case that comes
before the National War Labor Board
now, it is stated, involves large num-
bers of woman workers, and, as this
condition will become more marked
as the draft proceeds, it becomes both
a matter of justice and of necessity,
say the league officers, to have wom-
ans viewpoint represented in the
membership of the War Labor Board.

New York-New Jersey Results.

Illustrating the results of the raids
in New York and New Jersey. the
Attorney General reported that OF the
30,277 apprehended in series of
roundups within the past ten days
1901 were indicted into military
court action, and 1905 were found
to be delinquent in their relations
with local draft boards. In New York,
300 were sent to camp; in Brooklyn.
252 were held by court order. and in
Newark. Jersey City. Hoboken. Pater-
son and Passaic, 749 were sent to
camp.
Mr.. Gregory cited the draft laws re-
quirement that registered men Should
carry registration or classification
to take draft evaders into custody
and bring them before local boards
or to arrest deserters. Measures to
apprehend s1ackers were undertaken,
he said, about the time Secretary
Baker called his attention to the sub
ject more than a month ago.
To permit the draft evasion to con-
tinue, the Attorney General said, would
weaken substantially the nations fight
ing power and do grievous injustice to
the great body of the youth of the land
who so gallantly met their military obli-
gations.'
Excellent results were obtained in
raids in Chicago, Boston and other
places, said the Attorney General.

STACKER ROUNDUP
NOT TO Be HALTED
Attorney General Gregory's
Orders in Force Until
President Forbids.
USE or SOLDIERS WRONG

Raids in various large cities and
Industrial centers throughout the
country, for the purpose Of rounding
up slackers and draft evaders, will
continue unless the President specifl-
cally forbids them. Persons likely to
be enmeshed in the dragnet will do
well to keep their registration cards
with them all the time if they wish
to avoid possible inconvenience or
embarrassment through being de-
tanned by Department Of Justice
agents.
Attorney General Gregory in q let
ter to the President has made It plain
that the raids viii not be discontin-
ued until such time as the President
specifically orders them to be stopped.
The Attorney General in his letter,
which was in reply to a letter Of in
quiry sent to him by the President,
accepts full responsibility for the re-
cent raids in New York and other
large cities, though deprecating the
use of soldiers and sailors in the
raids. This he characterized as Ill
judged.

Gregory said. was without authority
from the department. though he be-

committing this breach by excess of
zeal for the public good.
Few persons over or under draft
age. the Attorney General said, were
apprehended in the raids, according
to detailed reports. Some who. on
the showing made by. them. should
not have been detained, were appre-
hended in the raids, but none of these,
the Attorney General said. was held
over night. There was no disorder
anywhere, he said. and no persons
were known to have been assaulted or
mistreated.

serters and slackers are at large in
