Buy Those Bonds

kendrick still has good many thousand dol
lars to make up before the fourth liberty loan
drive will go the top. !fevery man does his
duty the quota will be made up. If not Kend-
rick will 60 down on the records as having failed
to do what was expected of her. Today and to-
morrow will be the Zero hour for this drive and
it is then that every effort must be called forth to
meet the situation. The home boys in France and
in the training camps will feel proud of the old
town if she raises her quota They will wonder
why if she fails.
1t is the time when real sacrifices must be ex-'
pected and those who not making them to
assist the Government, are falling in their duty
and not doing their share.
After the banks close tomorrow evening it
will be too late to buy bonds of the fourth liberty
loan. Don't delay, but take your quota now

TERRIFIC STRUGGLE
SURGES TO AND FRO
Great Double German Drive
With Decision Still Hanging
in Balance.

BRITISH RETAkE VILLAGE
Pershing's Men in Thick of Bat
tie and Many Wounded Are
Arriving at Hospital Behind
the Lines.
The great double German
drive, in the Somme and Armen-
there's sectors, which began
Wednesday morning, has devel-
oped into a terrific struggle.
The tide of battle has surged to
and fro during the last two days.
with the decision still in the bal
ance. The British, having been
forced back out of Villers-Bret-
onneuX, launched counter at
tack and swept the Germans
back almost to the lines which
were held before the present
fighting began. The French
have been driven back out of
Hangard-E but are
holding their positions close by.
while on the line southwest of
Ypres, the British have been
compelled to withdraw slightly
before furious attacks along the
Meteren Baillieul Wytscheate
line.
Wounded Americans are arriving
at hospital behind the French lines
in the Somme sector, showing that
General Pershings men are bearing
their share Of the burden of the great
battle.
notwithstanding the frantic prep
arations made by the Germans for y
continuance of their drive toward
Amiens and the extreme violence of
the fighting, their gains thus far in
that region have been very small.

Denver labor bulletin., 1918-10-12

Acting as a national war labor
board umpire, Justice Walter Clark
of the North Carolina state supreme
court has awarded Wheeling iron
molders an eight-hour day in a de-
cision that will be far-reaching in
effect. A few features of this decision
are:
The basic eight-hour day is not an
eight-hour day, but merely a wage
agreement which permits of extra
hours at increased rates.
Eight hours should be the work day
except in cases of emergency.
The question OF what constitutes an
emergency shall not be left to the
employer, but shall be decided by a
joint standing committee of two en-
ployes and two representatives of the
employer. The assent of at least three
members of this committee shall be
necessary for permission to work
more than eight hours in any day of
twenty-four hours.
Justice Clark is one of the ten UNI
pires appointed by the President to
act where the national war labor board
fails to reach decision. A contro-
versy arose between Iron Molders
Union No. 364 and the Wheeling Mold
and Foundry Company of Wheeling,
W. Va, on the Interpretation of the
first section of an agreement between
the two parties which provides that
eight hours constitute a days work
for all molders and coremakers." The
next session of the agreement provides
that "the wage rate shall be $3.50 for
the basic eight-hour working day"
Both parties agreed to refer the mat
ter to the national war labor board
uv.A L.%
pire.
The iron molders contended that the
agreement was an eight-hour one. This
contention was upheld by Umpire
Clark, who said:
"It is not reasonable to suppose that
the employees, having agreed upon an
eight-hour day, should, by the next
rule, repeal it by substituting a ten
or twelye-hour day for extra compen-
sation.
There is a vast body of expert
ence," continued Umpire Clark, "that
a ten-hour day shortens the lives of
the employees, Injuries their health and
that in point of production there is an
increase by the substitution of eight
hours for a longer period. Even if
this were not true as to one day, the
accumulated fatigue of working more
tnan elEnl nours LOT series OF Gays
reduces the production below the guam
tity produced by strict adherence to
that limit.
Especially is this so as to the
molder's occupation, the life of whom,
working nine or ten hours n day, sub
ject to the heat and noxious fumes, is
said to average not more than four
teen years. In work of this kind there
can be no doubt that greater produc-
ton will be had by the working of an
eight-hour day than by working nine
or ten hours.

EIGHT HOUR DAY MEANS JUST THAT,
SAYS JUDGE CLARK AS LABOR UMPIRE
Workers Give Employers Receive
Carolina Supreme Court in Award That Will Have
Reaching Results in Future Industrial Disputes;
Emergency Idols Are Smashed.


at is not conclusive, tho a subject
for consideration, that the majority
of the other shops in Wheeling and
vicinity are working on a nine-hour
basis. All betterment has come by
improving conditions, and not contin-
uing them when bad. Improving con-
ditions is the object of this proceed
ing:
triotically given full aid to the prose-
cution of the war by placing their
splendid plants and their highly skilled
chiefs at the service of the govern
ment. The employees, as a rule, have
also, with the same patriotism, yielded
the eight-hour limitation for the gov
ernment The former have received
great increase in profit. The latter
has contributed an increase in the
hours of labor, and vast numbers of
men to fill our armies. The former
the latter have given to it. They
should not be asked to do so beyond
the necessity of the occasion"
Umpire Clark continues to smash
idols in his treatment of the question
what constitutes an emergency. By
demanding that workers be given a
voice in this matter, he extends in
dustrial democracy and establishes a
precedent by ordering that both par
ties set up standing committee of
two from each side, a majority of
which shall decide when it is neces-
sary to work more than eight hours
in any one day.
"It is better that the machinery
should be worn out than the bodies
of the employees" says Umpire
Clark. Man passes thru the world
but once, and he is entitled, in the
language of the Great Declaration, to
some some enjoyment of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.'
at has been suggested, as some
protection against the abuse of con-
stantly exceeding the limitation of
hours by the employer declaring in
his judgment AN emergency to exist,
that such extra days should be limited
to three days in the week. This would
only be a very partial remedy, for if
the employe is oyerworked three days
in the week his product will not only
fall off during those days, but also
during the remaining days of the
week. A better plan would seem to
be provision that the employer shall
appoint a standing committee of two,
and the employees a similar commit
tee of two, and as the burden of es-
tablishing an emergency is upon those
who assert it, the eight-hour limita-
ton should not be exceeded unless at
least three members of the joint COM
mittee of four agree that there is an
emergency justifying working over
time. This would avoid also the OBJ
lection that if there was only one
member of the committee on each side,
factious opposition by the represen-
tative of labor might prevent opera
ton even when there was an emer-
gency requiring it"

Emergency Fleet News.)

From the outside a steel ship looks
simple as a watch. But like a watch
it is a most complicated piece of
mechanism. In its construction a ship
makes necessary the employment of
the most skilled workmen. The me-
chanical genius of America is today
engaged in turning out merchantmen
and passenger ships in perfect work
ing order at record breaking pace, due
to the splendid teamwork of the
United States shipping board emer-
gency fleet corporation.
Building one of the steel monsters
of the sea is more of job than the
average man conceives. 1t not only
requires the fabricated steel and other
products of the mills, but the services
of hundreds of skilled mechanics at
the shipyards to assemble the various
parts. The American shipyards en-
ploy more than 800, 900 men today and
250,000 men in allied trades.
Sixty per cent of the labor is used
in constructing the hull and 40 per
cent in the making and installation of
the mechanical parts that operate and
run the ship.
Many Trades Included.
Included in the important trades
called upon to build a ship of steel
are the following:
Shopfitters, blacksmiths, riveters,
clippers and caulkers, drillers, plumb
ers, pipefitters, machinists, joiners,
carpenters, pattern makers, foundry
men, coppersmiths, heavy forgers,
sheet metal workers, furnace men.
shearers, punchers, anglesmiths, ship
wrights. riggers, Hangers, drop forg-
ers, erectors, bolters-up, crane men,
locomotive engineers, firemen, lofts
men, laborers, painters and helpers in
all these trades.
In the actual construction of the
hull of the ship the more important
trades employed are:
Loftsmen, shipfitters, drillers. rivet-
crs, clippers and caulkers, ship
wrights, riggers and shopworkers.
Loftsmen play large part. The
plans of the ship, rs made in the
drafting room, are drawn to small
scale. These are sent to the mould
loft-a large building with a smooth
floor of sufficient size to have drawn
upon it the plans of the ship to full
size. This is the work done by the
loftsmen. The lines of the ship con-
sist of three different plans, called
