Senator Smith, of South Carolina, said
today, after the senator appealed
to the president to relieve the labor
situation in the south, particularly

Senator Smith told the president
that unless some action is taken at
once, the present shortage in the cot

and urged that some arrangement be
made so that men effected by the man
power bill, but now employed in the
production of cotton, will not be called
into military service until The present
crop is harvested.
The draft law calling men between
81 and 81 years of age, the senator

A.F. OF |. URGES
ALL TO ORGANIZE
Officers Call Attention to Reso.
luton Passed by Last
Convention.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Officers
of the American Federation of Labor
have called the attention of all affili-
ates to a resolution passed by the last
convention instructing the executive
council "to plan and carry into effect
the most intensive campaign Of or
ganization within it's power, and urge
and aid all international, state and
central bodies to do likewise
At it's recent meeting the executive
council directed officers at headquac-
ters to carry into effect the above in
structions. Acting President Alpine
and Secretary Frank Morrison now
urge affiliates to exert every possible
effort to conform to the declarations
and recommendation Of the conven-
ton. "Everything within our power ''
it is stated, "has been done and will
continue to be done through the as
sistance and cooperation of the linn .
tied number of special organizers in
the employ Of the A. F.. of L. to carry
on an active organizing, campaign in
as extensive, a territory as is possibl:
under existing conditions and circun,-
stances. Our very best efforts are be-
ing put forth to organize the workers
in the steel industry.''

MUST EvACUATE

LABOR POLICY
Enemy Must Voluntarily or By
Compu|sion Give Up
Territory.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Trade
Union congress Of Derby. at which
Samuel Gompers was present as fra
ternal delegate from America, dis
cussed the attitude Of labor toward
the war and decided that the govern
ment should establish peace negotia-
tions immediately the enemy. either
the enemy voluntarily or by compul-
sion ,evacuates France and Belgium"
The congress also demanded that the
Labor and Socialist parties of the
Central parties should declare their
war aims, and reaffirmed 'its belief
in the principle Of the international
as the safest guarantee of world
peace"
The resolution was obviously a
compromised one. 1t commanded al
most unanimous support, but the
main point is that negotiations should
not take place while single German
soldier remains on French or Belgian
soil.
This means that Germany must first
be defeated before peace is discussed.
There is no comfort in the resolution
for those pacifists who advocate peace
by negotiation now. 1t is true that
nothing is said about Russia, but if
Germany is forced back beyond her
own frontier, it will indicate here
that the military machine is broken
and that she cannot resist drastic re-
vision of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
It is also true that the congress en-
dorses the proposal for an interna-
tional labor and socialist conference,
but those who were in favor of this
project have had to confess that the
attitude of the German majority So
cial Democrats has made the pros
poets of such a gathering very dark.
The successes of the allies on the
+ western front will also have an effect
upon the opinions of the French So
cialists who support the holding Of
an international conference.

AVERAGE WAGE

Shipyard Workers Earnings
Misrepresanted by the
Newspapers.

OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 26.-Officers
of Boiler Makers union No. 23S de-
clare that newspaper sensationalism
about strikes and high wages in ship
yards is "becoming tiresome." The
publicity committee Of this union says:
''We have made careful estimates
and find that there are only 70 men
out of the $1,000 woSking in Alameda
county ship yards: who are drawing
$50 a week or over.
"The average wage paid ship yard
workers here is $24 week. The
limit for a man working with pneu-
matte hammer is six months on gem
eral work and three months on the
shell. After that he has to take
lay-off and rest. The average length,
of time for a man to stay with rivet-
ing is three years. Then he must
seek other work if he doesn't break
down altogether. We have IA riveters
in the hospital now, suffering from
breakdown.

work for the duration of the war, we
have waived apprentice rules, we have
consented to increasing the number Of
helpers to each mechanic and we have
