PRESIDENT TO ACT
WESTERN UNION HEAD DEFIES
THE GOVERNMENT.
Possibility of Taking Over Telegraph
Lines for Refusing to Recognize
War Labor Board, Is Discussed.

President Wilson may summon
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
to Washington for a conference on the
controversy which has arisen between
the company and the Commercial
Telegraphers Union of America. This
was intimated after cabinet meet
ing Tuesday, at which the matter was
considered
The President is understood to have
laid before the cabinet the letter of
President Carlton, made public in
New York, in which the telegraph
company reiterates its opposition to
allowing it's employees to affiliate with
the Telegraphers Union.
One of the portions of President
Cartoons letter given consideration
was that in which it was commended
that the national war labor board,
which reviewed the case, failed to
reach unanimous decision on its
recommendations. In view Of this it
was considered possible, the President,
after comforting with President Carl
ton, might ask the labor board to re-
consider the matter.
The possibility Of taking over the
telegraph lines in event OF failure to
settle the dispute and a resultant
Strlke also is UNDERSTOOD 70 nave Deen
| considered. Differences OF opinion on
the authority necessary. for such &C
ton is known to exist among the
Presidents advisers, some contending
that special legislation would have to
be enacted, while others hold that the
President could take over the lines as
wartime necessity.

plause that greeted the favorable re-
port on the ''fifty-iifty" tax resolution
offered by w. D. Mahon, head Of the
Street Railway Employees. This reso-
luton, unanimously adopted and for
warded to Washington, demands that
in order to avoid further cheapening
of the workingman's dollar by infia-
be met by taxation of war profits,
swollen incomes and land values. 1t
specifically endorses the policy set
forth in President Wilson's recent
message to Congress on taxation,
which called for a limitation Of the
amount Of loans, and the levying Of
taxes upon the profiteers.
Again, the delegates enthusiastic
cally adopted resolutions asking the
taking over of the telegraph systems
by the government, and another reso-
luton prepared by President Konen-
kamp of the Commercial Telegraphers
and offered by Delegate Foster Of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, demand
ing that the Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph companies yield to the
order of the national war labor board
that their employees be permitted to
fore President Wilson's letter calling
findings Of the war labor board was
made public. When the Presidents
letter was published, and was read to
the convention by Mr.. Gompers, there
followed one of the few demonstra-
tons Of enthusiasm that marked the
program during the first week.
REIMBURSEMENT Measures.
Reconstruction programs to meet
the danger Of widespread unemploy-
ment after the war have not yet had
serious discussion. Delegates Tay-
lor of the Machinists and McKillop
of the Boilermakers Of Seattle offered
long resolution which called for the
appointment of commission of five
men within the department Of labor,
three to be union men, to consider and
recommend, and to execute, means
whereby the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
workers in the war industries to other
industries may be accomplished as
fast as war workers are laid off. They
declared that the time was approach
ing when the shipyards would have
produced more vessels than were
needed to overcome U-boat losses, and
that at that time shipyard workers
would have to be gradually re-em-
ployed in other lines.
upon Recommendation OF the reso-
lutions committee, the convention
voted to instruct the executive council
to study the matter, and to get Con-
gress to create a commission to take
charge Of the unemployment Of war
workers and Of the soldiers and sail
ors as fast as they shall be mustered
out Of the government service.
Eight Hours Basic Day.
Taylor tried to have the committee
bring in a definite reconstruction
scheme, but Chairman Duncan said
that that would be impracticable at
present.
Eight-hour standards have been en-
phasized in this convention more than
In any previous one. Delegates from
almost every trade have made the
point that our experience Of war work
thus far has been the same as the
British-that eight hours Of tense,
hard toll under wartime conditions
will produce more Of the munitions
that the government needs, over q
long period Of months, than will the
longer workday.

carriage Of justice is being allowed

ties"

In an address to the convention,
M. Justin Godart, assistant secretary
OF war Of France and head Of q
French war mission to the United
States, declared that union Of French
and American workers will be one
Of the results Of the conflict in Eu-
rope.
Replying, President Samuel Com
pers said:

Americas workers and soldiers are

Investigation Of the federal post
office department was asked by the
delegates in a resolution, special men
ton being made of the cost Of carry
ing mail and the possibility of grant
ing postal employees an increase in
salary.
Child Labor Law Repeal
Another resolution adopted pro-
tested against any increase in post
age rates on second class mail mat
ter, it being asserted that newspapers
are disseminators of war news, in
which every person in the country is
interested.
Child labor occupied a part of one
days discussion. President Wilson
and Secretary McAdoo were petitioned
to prohibit transportation Of all arti-
cles manufactured or produced by
child labor.

Gentlemen: Your request for the

Snowy Range Lodge No. 80, Brother

at regular meeting on the 9th, and
Treasurer A. S. Hutchinson was in
structed to forward complete re-

While the matter of complying with
your request was under discussion on
the floor of the meeting, the unani-

Bulletin was one of the main factors
in bringing about the present high
standing of the labor unions in Dem

assisting the railroad brotherhoods in
all their undertakings. The secretary
also was instructed to convey to you
expressions of good will and conf

AL ESSENTIALS

CONSERVATION AND co-oPERA TON WILL INSURE WHOLE SALE HARDWARE FOR THE
 FARMING TRADE.

MT. E. H. Tucker, secretary and chairman of the executive committee of the Tones Bros. Hardware Com napv had returned from a business trip to the East where he made care ful study of prospects for the trade, of market conditions governing the commercial output of industries in iron and steel.
 Tn an interview for the Trade Rec ord MT. Tucker says:
 Iron. steel, labor and coal are the four things on which the hardware. implement and machinery business are primarily based All four com modities are now under government control Iron and steel are issued to manufacturers under the direction of the War Industries Board Coal is controlled by the Fuel Administration and labor is directed into the army or essential enterprises under the Draft Regulations.
 This control of these four essentials affects every merchant in America selling articles into which steel or iron enter. Government needs cover the greater part of the iron and steel production of the country and leave only a small supply relatively for ne- cessary domestic purposes.
 It is a patriotic duty that We all as merchants make this domestic supply of hardware, implements and machin- cry satisfy as fully as possible the domestic demand. This can only be done by carefully watching stocks, carving no surplus or suplies and buying only for business that we know is assured to our ompany or firm serve
 Leaving aside the patriotic feature, We feel that the present is no time for anyone to pile up large supplies of hardware. Market conditions are apt to be disturbed by political events and prices are on high level \ conservatively operated business IS able to weather all storms. Purchase Liberty Bonds, which will be found 70 be d wise and safe investment fn bonds we are merely putting aside some of our profits which can readily be converted into cash should the emergency ever arise,
