CREDIT Due TO
LABOR LEADERS
Their Patriotic Attitude Recog-
nized as Great Aid in
Winning the War.
HAD MUCH EFFECT in EUROPE.
Chicago Newspaper Acknowledges the
"StatesmanIy Achievement" Of the
Workers-Have Never Been Con-
fused or Led Astray-Federation Of
Labor Wins Praise.

The common-sense attitude adopted
by American labor respecting parleys
with German labor seems to have had
Its effect upon the French Socialists.
An important section headed by the
redoubtable Albert Thomas has ex-
pressed itself in accord with the views
of our labor committees. We have rea-
son to believe the visit of these repre-
sentatives of American labor's prag-
matte policy has done much to
strengthen British and French labor
war policy.
This service should be added to the
considerable list credited to American
organized labor in the world war. We
have had our bolsheviki and our pro-
Germans, but organized labor as repre-
sented by the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor has stood four
square ON the great basic issues Of the
conflict, has never been confused or
led astray, and has kept the feet of la
Dor firmly on the ground. This has
been a statesmanly achievement
worthy of the recognition Of all Ameri.
cans and of our allies. The war might
well have been lost without it.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

4No MORAL RIGHT TO STRIKE"
Plainly In Denying Petition for
Higher Wage Scale.

Declaring that Canadian railroad
men have mo moral right to counte-
nance or order a strike" at this time,
the Canadian railway war board, after
an emergency meeting, sent a letter
to the Railway Federated Trades
denying the shopmens petition for
scale Of wages higher than that to be
paid in the United States by the ma
tional railway administration. While
only the shopmen were directly af-
fected, it was said they would be
backed by the trades membership of
10000 If they carried out their an
nounced intention of striking.
The war board takes the position
that higher wages for shopmen would
mean pr0poktionate increases for all
ranks of railroad workers, and would
involve Ss'theiy early bankruptcy for
everN re N Canada, including the
Canadian racific railroad, or the i'm
position Of freight rates so high that
Canadian industry would be alb
solutely barred from any share in ex-
port business, and domestic cost of
living and manufacture would reach
ruinous heights"

Apportionino UnskilIed Workers.

Approximation Of the common labor
requirement of the war industries Of
the country for the next three months
and of the common labor reserves in
each state available for war work has
been started by the employment serv-
ice division of the department Of la
Dor.
With these estimates as basis the
employment service will allot to each
state the quotas of unskllled workers
to be furnished.
With August / as the date when
independent recruiting of labor will
stop, the employment service, it was
stated, expects to have the state quo
tas completed by the middle Of July,
so there may be no interruption in the
labor supply needed by war contract
plants.

British Labor Leaders Pleased.

Eight labor members Of the British
government have issued manifesto In

labor in the councils of the nation
since the war began, has been unprece-
dented.
The men signing the manifesto are
George M. Barnes, minister without
portfolio in the war cabinet; John
Hodge, minister of pensions; G. Fl.
Roberts, minister of labor; William
Brace, parliamentary undersecretary
for home affairs; John R. Clynes, par
liamentary secretary to the food min
istry; Stephen Walsh, parliamentary
secretary to the local government
board; George J. Wardle, parliament
tary secretary to the board of trade,
and James Parker.
The labor leaders say that in the
last three years greater measures Of
democratic reform have been adopted
than in any previous time in the his
tory OF the country.

Coal Fields Patriotic.

That the bituminous coal miners of
the country, and particularly in the
Pittsburgh district, are 100 per cent
patriotic, is shown by the amount of
much needed coal being mined. Sew
eral months ago Fuel Administrator
Harry Garfield hoisted the danger sig
nal with warning that If coal pro-
duction was not increased the country
would face a coal famine. Operators
became busy and have been holding
sessions nearly every week in Wash
ington in order to keep in close touch
with the situation. At the beginning
quiet and effective work waa~d 0nn,
and later a series Of public patriotic
meetings were held in the thickly set
tied sections, with the result that the
situation is now very much improved.
AS matters now stand it is up to the
railroads to furnish the required num-
Der Of cars.

Unable to Equal Mems Work.

How far the woman workers substi-
tuted for men in Great Britain are
really filling the places Of men is an
swered in an article prepared for the
bureau Of labor statistics by Miss
Mark X. Conyngton, who has made a
study Of the effect Of the war on the
employment of women in England.
"The reply varies with the work"
writes Miss Conyngton. SIN clerical
and banking positions apparently
women are fully replacing men, ex-
cept In the relatively few positions.
SIN the munition trades they have
proved highly satisfactory, but in
general their work has not been the
same as that of the men whose places
they have taken"
Women have replaced 1,413,000 men
In Industrial, professional and civil
service positions in Great Britain in
the last three years, according to fig
ures obtained by Miss Conyngton.
There has been an increase of 100000
in the number of English women en-
ployed since July, 1914.

BOARD SETS MINIMUM WAGE
Decision of Official Body Is Likely to
Be OF Far-Reachins Importance
to the Workers.

Five policies of far-reaching conse-
quence In the employment Of labor
were laid down by the national war
labor board. They were:
l. Approval Of the principle of the
eight-hour day.
2. Insistence on the payment to la
Dor of living wage"
3. Disapproval of the employment
Of children under fourteen on govern
ment contracts.
4. Disapproval of the direct or in
direct employment on government con-
tracts of prisoners who have been SEN
fenced to hard labor.
B. Adoption of a dividing line be-
tween the war Industries in which
women should be employed and those
in which they should not.
In the adoption Of these principles,
applied by the board in many in
stances to labor disputes pending be-
fore that body, the board, Of which
former President William H. Taft and
Frank p. Walsh are joint chairmen,
has not besitated to go beyond the
rival claims Of employers and the en-
ployees.
This was notably the case in the
announcement by the board Of it's de-
, cision in the dispute involving 5000
employees in eight plants at Wayres-
boro, Pa.
In this case the board established
40 cents an hour as the minimum wage
to be paid any class Of workers, in
Guiding common laborers, on the the
DRY that less than that amount was
not living wage.
BY living wage, it was explained,
the board meant "the minimum rate
Of wage to permit the worker and
his family to subsist in health and
comfort"

VIII Admit Mexican Labor.

Secretary of Labor Wilson has let
down the bars to immigration from
Mexico. In a departmental order ex-
emptions are allowed from the head
tax, literacy test and contract-labor
provision imposed by previous regu-
lations.
In statement announcing the order
Secretary Wilson says the decision to
permit the entry into the United
States of illiterates and other Mexi-
cans formerly not admissible, was
reached In order to assist in meeting
the present shortage Of unskilled
labor. Labor imported under this rule
can be used only in agricultural pur-
suits, railroad section maintenance
and Ignite coal mining.
The order will be revoked when the
present emergency has passed and the
men imported will be required to re-
turn to their own country.

are now on a basis of a ten-hour day.
If adopted by the government, the
