Let the fight be all along the line against the kaisers and kings, against money and misery, and for equality and freedom.
 "Emissaries of cheap labor and long hours; combines representing alike the Prussian Junkers, the Brit ish barons and the American gentle ment have the brazen effrontery to ask that the standards of labor be abolished during the war, in spite o1 the fact that the British government and the American government as well as other governments have found the labor organizations to be the most important factors in the prosecution of the war, and with whom lies the ultimate successful victory.
 of this is to be a war for real dem ocracy labor must win.
 May we not hope that the workers in the central empires of Europe will ere long see that light and assert their rights in the same manner as their oppressed brothers of the north east?"

UNION OFFICIAL TALKS TO PO|NT
 ID GRAF TSNEN

VISALIA, Cal, April 6.-Shipyard workers in San Francisco were charged with barring competent and needed union men from working on government contracts, in the annual address of o A.

H. Mccarthy, president of the States Building Trades Council a member of the state council of defense and the national fuel administration, Frank c. Mcdonald, first vice-presi- dent serving on a district draft board, and the membership generally active and loyal
 The report said no real shortage of labor exists in California, no strikes have been called by unions in the building trades, and wages in all crafts and trades affiliated with the organ ization have advanced, but not in pro- portion to the increased cost of living. The Russian revolution was pro nounced "the greatest stride on the road to freedom since the dawn of the day when men and women were enslaved by their fellows"
 Of the shipyard situation, the re- port says:
 Tt has repeatedly come to the at tention of your general officers in the past few months that guiding tradesmen with perfectly good paid up book of many years standing and current quarterly working card of this council cannot secure steady or permanent employment in the ship yards.
 Able, faithful, self-sacrificipg and willing they stand ready to help build the ships which are needed to bridge the Atlantic in numbers sufficients to safely transport men, munitions and provisions to drive the enemy back to its lairs if not to it's senses.

%But certain local unions and their members seem to raise the old juris- dicdonal objection; in places of well coming union men, they look for green and raw recruits and initiative fees.
 That seems to be part of the same spirit which actuates the profit eers, and not the kind of loyalty to the cause, the government and the nation which should be expected of good union men.
 At present there are thousands of builders, artisans, mechanics, and la bOrers idle in California, and in the coming year their numbers will in- crease. A few of them found employ ment on the reinforced concrete ships, but reinforced concrete construction of ships is still in the experimental stage.
 By all that is humanitarian and by all that we hope let it not be said that the jurisdictional disputes are hampering the greatest comfort to the enemy"
 The report further says:
 Workers have to sacrifice their strength and their lives that repub- lies may live and freedom may grow; our soldier-boys on the battlefield and in the trenches abroad and our me chanics and our laborers, mothers and sisters, fathers and brothers, and even children doing their full duty" at home in factory and fields, in shop and yard for the defense of the country in or der to fatten the colossal fortunes ot American millionaires.

CONDITION SAID TO
BE TIE MPORARY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2o.-Transporia-

sent out a warning yesterday to- all
packers and dealers on no account
would they be permitted to increase
prices above a normal margin and their
available supplies must be distributed
equally among their customers.
10 Is believed unless great changes
occur In the weather. the Eastern
states, particularly the north Atlantic
and New England ones, Will receive
only a small part OF their normal ship
ments during the coming week. II Is
asserted most supplies are plentiful In
some OF the Western States and with
the resumption OF normal transporia-
ton eastern markets Will have ample
supplies to meet the six meat days a
week program OF the food administra-
ton.
The telegram sent out to officials To-
day by Mr. Hoover said:
There Is likely TO be In the next few
days. and perhaps for some time there.
after, a temporary scare ty Of fresl

the meat. The normal tendency o.
such a scarcity would be TO advance
the prices to retailers and consumer

This must not happen. The food ad
minlstraiion has instructed meat pack
ers not TO sell at prices representing
