FREE RAILROAD
FARES. NOW. FOR
SH|PYARD men
Who Live Great Distances From
Work; Rules Labor Adjust
I1ent board.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-ship-
yard workers along the Delaware
river are to be paid their raiload
transportation when local housing
conditions force them to live at a
distance from their work, according
to the latest decision of the Shipbuild-
ing Labor Adjustment board.
The board, in it's decision, declares
"the most serious obstacle to the
maintenance of uniform minimum
wage scale In all of the yards of the
district is the variable expense for
transportation to and from their work
to which the employees of the yards
up and down the river from Phila-
delphia are put owing to inadequate
local housing facilities.
ITO equalize this condition we here
by authorize shipyards whose employ
es are compelled to expend regularly
more than cents for transportation
to or from their work to provide
such employees with Communication Or
other tickets at the expense of the
company: In providing free trans
portation for employees coming from
a distance each shipyard must adopt
such precautions to prevent the privil-
ege from being abused as may be
prescribed by the auditors of the navy
department and the Emergency Fleet
corporation
1--WE permit the. payment of the
entire fares of such employees, rather
than merely Of the excess over Is
cents, to enable yards with inadequate
local housing facilities to draw their
employees from greater distances"
The board has again emphasized
the eight-hour work day, urging that
it be more universally adopted as the
most feasible as we'll as most ef-
flcient. The boards ruling declares
eight hours to constitute a days
work from Monday until Friday, and
four. hours on Saturday, Work in
excess of these hours constitutes over
time and is to be paid for. at the rate
of time and one-ha1f. Work in ex-
cess of 60 hours a week shall not be
permitted, except in dry docks, or by
direct order Of the navy department.
Other reforms in the decision are
the elimination of bonus or premium
schemes, In favor Of universal fiat
wage payments; and also a standard
ization of wages for piece workers.
In specifying the number Of hours
Of work, the board declares: T. !. ~
*"Our purpose in limiting the work
of employees under ordinary circum-
stances to 60 hours a., week; ts=to dis
courage the practice Of excessive over
time, which we believe leads to in
efficiency and lessened rather than
enlarged production, and to encour-
age the introduction of. the two and
three shift systems. The feasibility
of working two or three eight hour
shifts in shipbuilding plants has been
conclusively demonstrated; ]; and we
urge the shipyardsspfthe Delaware
river district to- take immediate steps
looking toward the introduction of ad-
sditional shifts In their yards !. -

the senate debate last Thursday on
the administration bill to empower
the government to commander tim
ber and conduct logging operations.
The debate fared up sos suddenly
and lasted so long that time allotted
for considering the bill was used up,
and Chairman Cham berlain of the
military committee let it go over for
action later.
Senators were not sparing in their
declarations that the government
should act swiftly and drastically to
meet what they characterized as a
menace to the people. Chamberlain
particularly declared it might be
necessary to send troops into the
spruce forests to protect workers get
ting out the precious timbers for the
airplanes.
Would Crush I. w. w. Leader.
'The Industrial Workers of the
World will not allow men to work in
the forests" he said.
Senator Borah, Idaho declared the
government could deal adequately
! the I. w. w. without resort to force
! and by orderly, lawful action.
J. 1.-THE government now has in It's
possession the evil genius of the I. w.
| W., a professional criminal for 20
years, who has taken the lives Of at
least 18 men. The I. w. w.. believe
he leads charmed life. The best
thing to crush the I. w. w. would be

Senator King, Utah, attacked the
ton commission on the depOrtations
from the Arizona copper districts as
"quasi Justification" The I. w. w.
| he declared had been "coddled' too
much by certain sympathizers in the
| labor department.
Senator Jones, Washington, said SO
! far as the lumber people of the Pa
| cific coast are concerned command
eering legislation is unnecessary, for
! they are glad to let the governm ent
have what timber is needed.
Replying to Senator Hardwick's
! question as to whether the presidents
| action in 80 communicating lumber
would be limited to that made neces-
| sary for military purposes, Senator
Fletcher, Florida, said that only lum-
| ber needed for war requirements
would be taken.
- Senator Jones characterized reports
Of the I. w. w. being crushed out as
untrue.
1.-THE indications are that they are
likely to break out this spring or

FORE" he said. 1--WE hear a great deal
about spies. If newspapers reports
are true, the government is not doing
its duty in getting the spies. We
ought to catch them and treat them
as all spies are treated in war times. -
