went on to express regret that the majority So

proposals and failed officially to accept the

OREGON LABOR SUPPLY

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 10-At a
conference of citizens called for the
purpose of rounding up labor slack
ers it was stated that there is much
human energy being wasted in some
of the polite professions and even in
ship yards in this city several hun
dred men may be recruited by filling
their easy jobs with men less physic-

central labor council suggested that
a thorough investigation would un-
cover much misdirected effort in in
dusty and a unproductive work of
professional and business men. This
investigation would also show, the
trade unionist declared, that the
enormous turnover Of labor is where

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 10.-The state
industrial commission has ordered the
1nvincible Metal Furniture company
ola Monroe to pay a boy $1,041.30
compensation for the loss of parts of
three fingers while employed on a
punching shears. eFhissis nearly $500

was -~trebled~-. and 1.-The --1o1slnany will
have to pay two-thirds of the award
and the insurance company pays only

The commission stated that it, is
finding altogether too many accidents
resulting to children working without
permits or working at prohibited en-
ployments. When we consider that
there is a comparatively small per-
centage of employees ~swho sustain

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-President
Gonlpers fooled the prophets who as
sured the world that he was going
to England to ssplit the British
labor party etc, etc.
President Gompers ignored the
prophets. He announced the purpose
of the American Federation Of Labor
special mission to Europe and started
on his way. That he has been sue
cessful in presenting to British and
French workers the war program of
President Wilson, which American
trade unionists accept, is nowhere
denied. 80: :: -. .. :, :. -
English and Scottish newspapers
received at American Federation of
labor headquarters make the pro-
phets' claim look ridiculous.
At Glasgow, Scotland, newspaper
men interviewed President Gompers.
He said he twas not going to criti-
else the labor movement of Great
Britain" and clearly intimated that
the workers of Great Britaip-and
elsewhere-are competent to handle
their internal affairs. -@
In reply to a question relative to
details in connection with the solu-
ton of an after-the-war question,
President Gompers said:

name of the government and the
president of the United States. When
the President has something to say,
he finds means of communicating it."

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
TO EMPLOY MORE WOMEN
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The
United States employment service has
arranged plans whereby large num-
bers of men now engaged in non-es-
sential employment will be pushed
into war work by the force Of public
opinion. Community labor boards
will be instructed to prepare and pub
lish lists of occupations in which men
should be replaced by women.
These lists will probably include
sales clerks and floorwalkers in every
sort of mercantile establishment;
clerical, cashier and office staffs in
mercantile, manufacturing and finan-
cial houses and in the offices OF
transportation companies and other
public utilities; walters, attendants
and many other occupations.

AMERICAN LABOR: DEFEATS
PLANS OF BRITISH PACIFISTS
By CAPT. WILLIAM S. SANDERS.

LONDON, Oct. 10.-The outstanding
feature of the Inter Allied Labor and Socialist
conference, held in London from Sept. II to
20, the influence of the American delegation
upon the decisions of the conference
There were present representatives from the.
United States, Great Britain, France, Italy,
Belgium, Serbia and Greece.
Much time spcnt> before the real business
was reached. When the various resolutions were
discussed, it soon appeared that the pacifst
clement was bound to be defeated
The first motion of Importance dealt with the
Austrian peace note. The conference decided
that any proposal to hold secret meeting, as
suggested by Austria, open to suspicion and
considered that the allies should send a reply
to Austria defining their war aims jointly with
the United States.
President Wilson having formulated his II
points had been able at once to reject the Aus
trian proposal, it was pointed out.
The second motion declared that the treatv
OF Brest-Ditovsk must not be allowed to stand
and that allied intervention in Russia must be
influenced by genuine desire to preserve liberty
and democracy in conformity with article 6 of
President Wilson's II points.
resolution on war aims was carried declar-
ing the conference determined to do all in it's
power to assist the allied countries in marshalline

CAR men BLOCK EFFORTS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct, 10
The newly organized street car mems
union has defeated the compahy's ef-
fort to block organization and forced
the management to enter wage
conference. Rates are increased II
cents an hour or an average of 81
day.
Non unionists who stood at a safe
distance on the side lines during the
dispute, will accept, of course, the
additional 81 a day. They will not
join the organization, as it is q ques-
tion of principle to remain free and
independent"
This puts them in an advantage
Gus position. They can retain the
good will of the company and also
enjoy any gains the union may Sc
