WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. Joint
Chairmen Taft and Walsh of the Ma
tional War Labor Board have been
asked by Secretary of Labor Will
son to remain in sharge of that
Board until the war is officially
ended
"While an armistce has been de-
clared," said Secretary Wilson in his
letter, eve have not yet reached the
status of peace. That will not be
reached until the Presidents proc
lamation has been issued after the
peace treaties have been signed and
approved by the senate. In the
mean time problems of production
and readjustment will have to be
dealt with For these reasons it is
desired that the National War Labor
Board continue it's activities"

HELP NEEDED
BY RED CROSS
The Prevalence of Influenza in This
City Calls fer Aid to Fight 1t
November 80, 1913.

November 80, 1918.
To All Lodges:
The Everett Chapter American Red
Cross is called upon to make an
appeal to all the lodges and fra
ternal organizations in the city for
volunteer nurses aides.
The Spanish influenza has again
made its appearance in our midst.
In many instances entire families
are stricken. These people are alb
solutey without care. There is no
one to prepare proper food or to
keep the homes warm. In other
instances the mother is i'll and there
is no one to minister to the wants
of the small children.
The city is to be divided into dis
tricts, each district to be under the
direction and supervision Of train
ed nurse. Under these trained nurses
will be the nurses aides.
If we are to meet this situation
in an adequate way we must have
the support and cooperation of all.
We will need at least two volunteers
men or women-from each fra
ternal organization. Especially do
we appeal to the members of such
organizations to help out in the care
Of their own members.
Please report any volunteer help
you may be able to furnish to Mrs
Walter Pringle, White 518.
1t is only by united effort that we
are going to be able to combat and
finally stamp out this epidemic
Please give this appeal your most
earnest consideration and respond to
this call.
Yours very truly,
IDA M. COLEMAN,
Chairman.

GREAT SUCCESS
OF I. s. BUREAU
OF EMPLOYMENT
Arrival of Peace Means Volume of
Work Will Continue to Be
AS Great

From its reorganization last jan
uary until the signing Of the Armis-
tice, the United States Employment
Service directed to employment, al
most entirely in war industry, in
cluding agriculture, approximately
2,500,0O0 workers. It also increased
it's local employment offices from
90 to 900 in the same period.
These figures represent an increase
Of about 1000 per cent in both la
Dor finding activities and in the es-
tablishment of local employment of
fices.
The steady rate at which the Ser
vice has grown in extent and accom-
plishment is indicated by the fact
that in January last 62,642 persons
were sent to jobs while last month
SAT, 1862 were directed to employment.
Furthermore, during the week end
ing November 2, the last week but
one of war conditions, 162,754 work.
ers were directed-a rate of ESQ.,
600 a month.
Returns made by employers and
workers show that approximately
100000 of the 2,500,000 workers
directed were placed 1t is impos-
sible to know how many of the bal
ance were placed, owing to the fail
ure of some employers and workers
to notify the Service of the accept
ance of workers or jobs. At the
outset of the reorganization, it was
estimated that the war industries of
the country would require between
100000 and 100000 workers up
to the end Of 1918.
Moreover it was not simply case
of directing to war plants appli-
cants at the local offices of the En-
ployment Service. The Service has
had literally to "dig up" men from
nonwar work and help reduce "turn-
over," the agencies chiefly being the
paid agents of the Employment Ser
vice, the volunteer agents of its
Public Service Reserve, and more re-
Gently, the community labor boards.
Patriotic help was rendered the
agents and boards by employers and
employees and their organizations.
The replacement of war workers
and soldiers in peace industries, al
ready begun, would Indicate that the
volume of work of the Employment
Service during the coming months
will be as great as it was up to
the signing of the Armistice.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

Do merchants ask of their Gus
toners: What will you pay for my
wares ?"
Do manufacturers ask: What will
you pay for my products ?"
Do bankers ask: "What interest
will you pay?"
Do the packing houses ask: what
will you pay for meat products ?"
Do railway companies ask: "What
will you pay for a ride, or for the
shipment of your products ?"
Farmers and stockmen are the only
producers on earth, who, in offering
their wares, must accept the price
fixed by the purchaser.
This evil in marketing must be
remedied during the period of recon-
struction. Todd County (Minn, }
Tribune.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

The war savings campaign was
far more than a campaign to raise
two billion dollars-it was, above
all else, a campaign to create thrift
and good citizenship through saving
his $2OOOOOOOOO from unnecessary
expenditures The campaign is one
IF the best things that ever hap
pened in the U. S. A.
The desire to have these stamps
mas not ended with the war, nor
S the Governments need of money.
Their constant purchase is a splen-
did influence on American Citizen
ship, and their encouragement Of the
habit of thrift one of the greatest
blessings that will come from the
war.

LABOR PROGRAM
WINS FAVOR IN
GREAT BRITAIN

That the reconstruction program
of the British Labor Party now ap-
pears certain of adoption because it
expresses the trend of practically the
combined public opinion in England,
including returning soldiers, is the
atement made in an interview by
the Right Rev. Charles Gore, Bishop
Of Oxford, on the eve of his return
to England after a two months tour
Of America.
"The average working man knows
where the shoe pinches," said Bishop
Gore, in commenting on the govern
ment's wartime policy of admitting
the workers to a larger share of
control over industries and approx
ing its universal adoption in peace
time. 81 think that the actual
workers ought to feel they can share
in the management of the condi-
tons under which they work, and
this is already coming to pass in
England since the Whitley Report.
BY such plan, every particular bus
mess has its own managing commit
tee, chosen from among the work
ers ard employers. These then
elect representatives to the general
)mmittee representing the whole in
dcstry, and that group in turn elects
its representatives to Parliament. "
AS an indication of the general
public acceptance of the Labor
Party's program, the Bishop pointed
to the report of the Archbishop's
Committee on Industrial Problems,
which is just about to be published,
containing a program almost iden-
teal with that of the British Labor
Party. England has already pro-
vided a comprehensive system of So

BOTH SOLDIERS
AND CITIZENS
GIVEN WARNING

The Commissioner of Police of
New York, during the recent riots
caused by the display of the red
flag by men and women who have
renounced the Stars and Stripes, and
resented by men wearing the uniform
Of the United States, restored or
der quickly and warned both parties
,hat he would use the means at his
disposal to preserve the peace.
The people who displayed the red
flag knew they were melting riot
by their act, particularly in these ex-
citing times, and the soldiers dis
graced the uniform in resorting to
mob violence.
The Metal Trades Council of this
city warmly commended the firm
stand taken by the New York Police
Commissioner.

NEW LABOR LAWS
ARE ASKED FOR

Legislation enabling him to con
troll Alaska cannery labor contracts
is requested by State Commissioner
of Labor C. H. Younger, in his BIZ
ennial report.
Younger asks for a law similar to
the California seasonal labor statute
giving him power to protect this
class of workers and arbitrate dis
putes.
The creation of small debtors
court, providing a swift and in
expensive method of collecting small
wage claims" says the Commission
ers, twill help to convince the peo-
pie that the State of Washington
stands for even-handed justice"
Child labor and womens branches
of the Department of Labor, under
women inspectors, are also recon-
mended. The report shows that
3,452 women are employed in 1876
shingle mills in this state. A law
enforcing the installation of blowers
to protect the workers from shingle
poison dust is requested.
The report suggests increased sal

WON'T STAND FOR
WAGE REDUCTIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-An-
swe1ing q request Of a news agency
for a statement on proposed wage
reductions, \. F. of L. Secretary
Frank Morrison said;
Regardless of the wishes Of in
dividuals or groups, any reduction
of present wage scales in this coun-
try will be opposed by the workers.
who will not accept reductions for
the simple reason that this pro
cedure will lower their standard Of
living. And by standard of living
l refer to substantial food. clothing,
housing and all necessarias to we'll
ordered life
THE cost of living is not a theory
with the workers; it is a plain un-
vanished tale that cannot be ex-
planned away by sophistry. The
United States Bureau of Statistics
shows that living costs are mount
:ng higher and higher. Its report
for August. this year, shows an in
crease Of , per cent over last July.
an increase of Is per cent between
August last year and August this
year, and an increase Of 10 per cent
during the five-year period between
August, 1918, and August. 1918.
The right to love comes first.
and workers will resist amy attempt
80 reduce their living standard. in
view of present costs, even though
some employer talks of capturing
the markets Of the world.
81 am hopeful that the be.. thought
among employers and o.ho clements
Of our citizenship viii agree that
nothing will create more internal
turmoil than a denial that the high
est possible living standards for
workers is the first requisite for
the America we dream to have.
"The eight-hour day should be ac-
cepted by every manufacturer not
only because the transition to a
peace basis may be orderly through
the quick assimilation of workers
but for the larger reasons that have
SO often been advanced IN favor of
shorter work day"
