IT, S. PUTSSHIP
TANGLE UP TO
MEN IN YARDS
Board Declares Other Crafts
Must Decide Merits of
Carpenters Claims.

II the International Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners, through its
president, William L. Hurcheson, con-
tinues to insist on concessions from
the United States that are not granted
or asked by other shlpyard crafts,
such concessions will have to be ef-
fected by consent of the other crafts.
This was the statement last night
by Shipping Board officials concern
ing the status of negotiations with
Mr.. Hutcheson over his demands for
union control of shipysrds and spe-
cial representation on the shipbuild-
ing labor adjustment board, on which
all other crafts have waived special
representation.
On the point of the closed or union
shop. however. the Shipping Board
remains adamant, determined to give
no prestige to either side OF the
closed-shop-open-shop controversy by
putting the shipyards, most Of them
privately owned. into the control of
the carpenters brotherhood. The
other crafts already have agreed to
leave the issue in status quo for the
duration of the war, so far as ship
yards are concerned.
Whether convocation Of the other

the wage adjustment board agree
ment will be called to change it TO
meet the demands of Mr.. Hutcheson,
probably will be decided within few
days by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
Illustrative of the general spirit Of
labor, two instances were cited by
Shipping Board officials: A message
was received from Oakland, California,
saying that all the shipyard unions
there had signifed in concert their
determination to do everything pos
sible to speed the shipbuilding pro-
gram: other advices from the Great
Lakes reported that 500 delegates from
all the shipbuilding unions of Duluth
and Superior. called together to con-
slider the question of striking. turned
the conference into a loyalty meeting
and pledged themselves to work with
the Shipping Board.

THE RIGHT TO cRlTlclsE.

There will be no general admira =
ton of the manly directness with
which Senator Cummins of Iowa has
asserted not only the right of sen
ators and representatives to criticise
acts and policies of the executive even
lit time of war. but also the coordin-
ate equality of the legislative depart
nlent Of the government
1T is just as disloyel," said SEN
ator Cummins, during the debate on
the Overman bill. "for the president
or any one else connected with the
government to denounce members of
congress for the manner in which
they discharge their duties as it is
fer members of congress to denounce
the president"
That is true, although the word
"denounce" expresses. perhaps, an ex-
IRENE possibility of attitude, either on
the part Of the executive toward the
congress or of members of congress
toward the executive. The sacro-
sanct quality, If it belongs to either

longs equally to both.

If there is any good reason to trans

and honorable one and calls for a
man not only possessed of high legal

Mr. Clyde measures up to the full re-

profession in this county for upwards
Of twenty years, first in Wardner and
then in Wallace, with steadily increas-
ing cientage until his practice has
reached point at which his elevation
to the bench would involve financial
sacrifice. While not unmindful of the
honor, which Is worthy of the aspira-
ton of any attorney. it is literally
true that In announcing his candidacy
Mr.. Clyde has yielded to the urgent
request Of his friends, both within

regard him worthy successor to the
retiring jurist who is voluntarily clos

The presidents speech at Baltimore,

of Liberty bonds, was an admirable.
II belated, statement of the war pur-
poses of the nation. 1t was also re-
markable for the enlarged and ex-
pansive hind sight which has come to
him in acknowledging that our en-
trance into the war was inevitable and
that the purpose of German leaders
from the outset was to lay the United
States under tribute and bondage
with Belgium, Serbia. Rou-
mania and Montenegro. The facts
upon which Mr.. Wilson bases this con-
clusion have never been hidden from
the view Of men with more provision
than he possesses; and they have
been open to his knowledge with an
even larger measure Of accuracy be-
