Boards Cure-All
May Cause Trouble

But the piece system prevails
more or less in Atlantic yards,
whereas the day wage prevails on
the Pacific Coast. Moreover, the
navy yards and navy work are on a
regional basis. The Shipping Boaro
has endeavored to make it's wage
schedule correspond to that Of the
adjacent navy yards. The navy is
proceeding on a wage scheme
worked out IN conference with the
unions. 1t is getting along all right,
but if the Shipping Board finds a
cureall for its own troubles it will
mar the navy programme.
SO, in an exaggerated way, it may
be said that Skinner & Eddy, away
out there in Seattle, in settling their
labor problem in manner agreeable
to their employees upset the whole
house Of blocks.
Similar things are happening
throughout industry. If one dis
located joint be set, others are put
out of joint. The body Of the labor
problem must be treated as a whole,
Local cures, however we'll meant and
however effective, breed disorders
elsewhere

ISpecial Correspondence

wv rASHlNGTON, Feb. 15.---
M The labor problem is like
w a badly tangled fish line.
IN untying one knot you are apt to
,;e others. After a while you be-
come impatient and angry and whip
ant YOUR knife and cut out all the
l.nots--and then, perhaps, you dis
cover that you have parted with so
inch line that you can't fish at all.
To the perplexcd and baffled ex-
eeutives in Washington, who are
confronted daily and hourly with the
difficulties Of the labor problem in
their determined efforts to increase
and expedite production, there
seems to be no end to the knots, and
some of them are nervously reach
ing for the knife. To compose one
dispute or meet one labor supply diff
fculty seems inevitably to create
others.
labor Unions Oppose
Call for Man Power
Just now the country is ablaze
With the drive for shipbuilding re-
serve of 100000 men. The response
is wonderful and inspiring. New
reservoirs Of patriotism have been
tapped But labor unions are writ
ing to the Shipping Board to pro-
test that the drive is superhuous
and demoralizing because they have
, thousands of competent men reg
istered who are unable to get work
in the shipyards. The Pennsylvania
labor commissioner, on the other
hand, is reported to have had 400
kilograms from employers in other:
lines than shipbuilding complaining
that the drive is demoralizing their
working forces. One shipyard is
said to have -, 900 men waiting for
Jobs. The drive may provide an
abundance Of men for shipbuilding,
but it may seriously handicap other
essential industries.
The Senate Commerce Committee
investigates shipbuilding with view
TO finding out what the basic causes
Of unsatisfactory progress are and
it devotes special attention to the
Hog Island fabrication plant.
The purpose is laudable, but, most
unexpectedly, the investigation is
discovered to have had depressing
effect on the entire personnel Of the
plant. 1t had labor troubles before
now they are worse than ever. One
labor authority says that there is no
hope of reGstablishing a healthy
spirit among the men until the news
papers stop talking about Hog
Island.

WHEAT RULINGS

Since the harvesting and thrashing
of crops of wheat in this vicinity,
many farmers are at loss to know
what they can do with the wheat
raised. Many had the idea that they
could use as much as they wish in
any manner they saw fit, but such is
not the case. The latest ruling sent
out by the Food Administration
makes the following statement:
Farmers growing wheat and rye
may have ground an amount equal to
a. supply of eight pounds per month
for each member of their family for
s7ze period ending August 1, 1919
II, other words a farmer having
homegrown wheat or rye ground to-
day may have 90 pounds for each
person in his family. If he has his
milling dine on the first of September
be may have 88 pounds for each per
son, and so on"
This news will undoubtedly be wei
eume to the farmers who have raised
wheat and will set at rest all ques
tons and doubts as to what dispose
shall be made Of the gain he ha'
Eaised.

Saw Soldier Cousin In Movies.

At a moving picture performance,
says the Boston Post, there was shown
1.-THE Battle Of Arras" and the retreat
of the Germans. One view showed
some English soldiers marching
through a street in France. In the
film the soldiers stopped in front of
the camera a few seconds, when sud-
denly an American soldier jumped to
his feet and yelled at the top Of his
voice, "Give 'em thunder, Johnnie, old
top! Give 'em thunder!" The audi
ence almost went wild in its applause ;
but the soldier, realizing what he had
done, .blushed and started for an exit,
when a young woman usher told him
not to mind, but stay and see the show.
He later explained that the man in the
picture was Johnnie Clark, his cousin.

BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN

The war news from the western
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portray the
gloom that overhangs the people in
the large cities. That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed is not to be doubted
The Liberty Loan bond buyers of
the preceding loans have their share
In the success of the entente allies
They furnished the sinews of war not
only to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equip, and
send our soldiers over, not only to
supply them and our allies with food
and munitions, but more than $4,000
100000 of their money has been
loaned to our allies so that they may
prosecute the war with vigor and
strength.
We here at home have an oppor-
tunity to send the Germans some
more bad news. The Germans have
great respect for money; they know
IDS vital value in waging war. They
Know, to, that the support the Ameri-
Gan people give a Government loan
measures largely the support they
give their Government, the moral as
we'll as the financial support they give
their armies in the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a
defeat for them on the battle field,
and, it will mean as much. It spells
their defeat; it breaks their morale; it
means power to their enemies. A
subscriptin to the loan is a contribu-
tin to German defeat and American
victory.

GOVERNMENT AGENCY
DIRECTS LABOR SHIFT
UnskiIIed Workers Included Now
Other Glasses to Be Added Later.

Unskilled Workers Included Now.
Other Glasses to Be Added Later.
The new labor program Of the Unit
ed States Government, providing for
the shifting of labor exclusively
through the United States Employment
Service, which has been organized by
lthe Federal Department of Labor, be-
came effective August 1. The program
begins with the inclusion of unskilled
workers only. 1t is the plan Of the
Government later to extend this pro-
gram to include all classes of work
men. The purpose of this move,
which is more widespread in it's effect
than anything else which the Govern
ment has undertaken since the Selec-
tive Draft law was put into effect, is
to regulate the supply of labor to the
demand for labor. The program has
been designed as a protection for both
employer and employee. Farm labor
is not included nor is labor for the
railroads.
