LonGon. Dec. Morning newg-
papers give great and equal prom
inence to the speech OF Premier
Clemenceau before the French
chamber of deputies and President
wilson's address at Manchester. By
their headlines and by placing III
juxtaposition the striking passa ges
and by their comment the news
papers reveal n certain uneasiues5
in consequence OF the apparent di-
vergence between NJ. Clcmenceau
and Mr.. Wilson.
There is an endeavor, however.
TO avoid anything suggesting the
existence OF substantial disagree
meEt or promoting ANXIETY regard
ing the conference. Their desire
seems mainly TO show that NJ.
Ciemenceau' 5 standpoint is not So
remote from Mr., Wilson's as might
appear AZ first sight and that any
differences that exist ought to be
arranged with pains and patience
The British war cabinet Is con
sidering IA proposal To ask the

of men,
New-York tribune., 1918-02-16

Of the Spedden shipbuilding Company,
to-day said that there was much evil
dencc of pro-Germarism behind the
strike Of the ship carpenters and join
crs. He dcclared:
"The pro-German hand was shown
clearly when the men walked out with
out giving us any warning whatever
II they desired to help the government
they would have waited until the wage
scale for shipworkers had been ad-
Justed before striking.
"Thcy know the government needs
badly the ships they arc working on,
and they think that they will get their
raise in wages by holding up the gov
ernment."
Whey Dr. Charles Eaton, head of the
Natlo al Service Section Of the Ship
ping Board, sought conference with
tie strikers while they were holding a
meeting he was told to go to hell and
that if he wanted to make a speech so
go TO Washington and make it," lie
did address the workers at the Spar
rows Point plant OF the Bethlehem
Steel Company.
Unless the strikers return to work
they will be drafted into the National
Army. The local boards have been or
dered to call the men on strike for an
other exam ination and make them
eligible for yhc next draft.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-16

sent to him late in the afternoon by Ed
ward N. Hurley, chairman Of the United
States Shipping Board, and promptly
idea to believe that either he, person
ally, or the brotherhood had any inten-
ton of offending or hampering the gov
ernment in any way.
Having been shown an extract Of
telegram sent to me by Mr.. Hurley late
tonight, in which he asks me will
order the men to return to work in
the shipyards," said Mr.. Hutchinson.
81 desire to say that the action of the
men in striking does not meet with my
approval. As | have previously cX
planned to Mr.. Hurley, the fact that
the carpenters organization has no
agreement regarding this work leaves
me powerless to order the men back to
work and enforce such order. That
agreement We have sought in vain for
several months. While it is too late
for me to reply in full to the telegram
of Mn. Hurley. | cheerfully declare my
wish and desire that all men return to
work and trust to the government adj
iusting their long-standing grievances.
II desire also to resent the impress
sion which might be gathered from
the communication OF Mr. Hurley to
the effect that the Broth erhood of Car
penters would for d moment consider
offending the government in any re-
spect. or that they stand second to any
branch OF labor in loyal support Of
the Administration in its conduct Of
this war;
