ARE AIDING FOE
Hints Union Chief Has Committed
Treason by Calling Out
Workers.
REFUSES TO MEET LEADER
Tells Hutchinson He Can See Nothing
to Gain by Comforting With
Hm-Arbitrator Must
Decide.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-President
Wilson has telegraphed William l..
Hutchinson, general president of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, nat he can see nothing to be
gained by comforting with him person
ally about the strike of shipyard car
penters until he has accepted and
acted upon the principle that in the
present circumstances of the nation
no body of men has the right to strike
until every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit.
"Giving Aid to the Enemy"
'If you do not act upon this prin-
ciple," said the presidents message,
"yOu are undoubtedly giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, whatever may
be your conscious purpose"
The presidents message was sent
in reply to one received from Hutch
esOn saying he had been unable to
reach an understanding with officials
of the shipping board, but felt that if
given an opportunity to lay the mat
ter before the president a solution
could be arrived at quickly. 1t was
made public, as follows:
William l.. HutchesOn.
General president United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners Of
America.

81 have received your telegram Of
yesterday and am very glad to note
the expression of your desire as a pa
triotic citizen to assist in carrying on
save America and men everywhere
who work and are free
"A Painful Contrast"
Taking advantage of THAI assur-
ance, | feel it to be<my dH>y to call
your attention to the fxct that the
strike of the carpenters in the ship
yards is in marked and painful con-
trGst to the action Of labor in other
lutely necessary for the winning of
this war. No one can strike a dead
lier blow at the safety of the nation
and of its forces on the other side
than by interfering with or obstruct
ing the shipbuilding program.
"All the other unions engaged in
this indispensable work have agreed
to abide by the decision of the ship
building wage adjustment board.
That board has dealt fairly and lib
ora1lxy with oil hn hoT tnI RI
it. I must say to you very frankly
that it is your duty to leave to it the
solution of your present difficulties
with your employers and to advise
the men whom you represent to re-
turn to work at once pending the de-
cissiOn.
No Moral Right to Strike.
mo body of men has the moral
right in the present circumstances of
the nation to strike until every
to the limit. If you do not act upon
this principle you are undoubtedly
giving aid and comfort to the en-
envy, whatever may be your own con-
sciOus purpose.
81 do not see that anything will he
gained by my seeing you personally,
until you have accepted and acted
upon that principle. 1t is the duty
of the government to see that the
best possible conditions of labor are
maintained, as it is also its duty to
see to it that there is no lawless and
constituencies profiteering and that
duty the government has accepted
and will perform.

VANDERBILT SHIP
DEAL UNDER QUIZ
President Orders Gregory to
Probe Concern.
U. S. MAY CANCEL CONTRACT
Attorney General Directed to Find
Out if $42,ooo,ooo Fund Was Mis-
used-PIant Was to be
Biggest in Country.
U. S. MAY CANCEL CONTRACT

Washington, Feb. 15.-PreSident Will
son on Thursday directed Attorney
General Gregory to investigate the
much-discussed Hog Island shipyard
contracts, which have been adversely
criticized before the senate commerce
committee, and determine if there has
been any criminal misuse of govern
ment funds.
The president also directed the at
tOrney general to work in conjunction
with Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board in his investigation. About
$42,OOO,OOO of government money has
been involved in the Hog Island pro-
ject, in which the American Interna-
tional corporation, headed by Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National
City bank, has figured.
May Cancel Contract.
Chairman Hurley Of the shipping
board has notified Assistant General
Manager Bowles of the Emergency
Fleet corporation that it may be neces-
Sary to cancel the American Interna-
tional corporations contract for build
ing the government shipyard under
construction at Hog Island. Pa.
Investigation by the department Of
commerce was recommended by Chair
man Hurley of the shipping board, who
asked that an assistant to the attorney
general be sent to Hog island to work
with Assistant General Manager
Bowles of the Emergency Fleet corpo-
ration. Mr.. Bowles was put in active
charge of the yard recently.
Mr.. Bowles has been directed by
Chairman Hurley to put the Hog
Island yard on an economic basis.
Shipping board officials are of the
opinion that there has been nothing
worse at Hog island than inefficient
management and a reckless spending
of funds, but they want to know all
the facts.
Greatest Yard in U. S.
The Hog Island shipyard on the Del
awaEe river, near Philadelphia, is
planned to be the greatest in the
country, with more than fifty ways on
which to lay down ships.
Testimony before the senate COM
merce committee, investigating the
whole subject of shipping contracts,
has developed statements that the gov
eminent will be obliged to spend be-
tween $40,O00,000 and $50O00,OO0,
where government and civilian experts
estimated $21,O0O000 would suffice.
This testimony developed charges by
Representative Lenroot (RepD, Wis
consin, on the floor of the house that
through laxness in the letting of con-
tracts the American International and
it's subsidiary were placed in position
to loot the treasury of millions of dol
lars.

There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
leges of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he viii support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces ali
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same.
"FaIse to Their Oaths."
All these naturalized citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government in the conduct of the war
ure false to their oaths, are FORGETTING
their rights of citizenship, are repudi-
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people of the United States have well
co ned them to the liberty and the OPP
portunities of his free land. We must
believe that in many cases this is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really Is.
This is war OF defense. 1t Is per-
fectly described il the words of the
Constitution which established this ma.
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
fense" and ITO secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The national defense demands not
merely force, but intelligence. 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration of the
policies and purposes of other nations
understanding of the inevitable OF
probable consequence of the acts OF
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when 1t will be too late, and prompt
action before it is too late.
BY entering this var the United
States awaited itself of the very last
opportunity to defend itself.
