DENY j. S. FAILED IN
WAR GAS MAKING

BALTIMORE, March 1O.-Flat de-
nial Of failure in this country's pro-
ductiOn OF war gas, such as was made
at Edgewood Arsenal, near Baltimore,
has just been issued by the War De
partment, which cites some interest
ing figures compiled by Maj. Geil.
William L Sibert, director OF the
chemical warfare service Of the army.
Incidentally, General Sibert yeste--
day pointed out that the Edgewood
Arsenal, under Col. E. L. Walker, had
some time before the signing Of the
armistice, reached quantity production
and was turning out 100 tons "t
chlorine gas daily. Its manufacturing
facilities had been developed to
point where it was the largest gas
making plant in the world.

shipments to France, because all ct
the gas shells in that country had
been filled the shipment in bulk
amounted to 10 tons Of mustard gas,
TO5 tons of chloropicrin and 4S tons
of phosgene, or a total OF 16S tons OF
all types of gas in four weeks.
The total shipments of gas from
this country were sufficient Tor

American troops in action. This, Gen

Following is President Shorts
reply;
Dear Sir and Brother: ] have your
lengthy open letter on industrial
peace. addressed to the public, to
capital and to labor of this State,
together with your personal note
asking if I would assist to make
1920 a strikeless year, while some
sort of a plan for peaceful settle
ment of all industrial disputes is
being evolved.
In reply. let me say that the or
eanized labor movement cannot,
and will not, guarantee that the
wear 1920 will be a strikeless one,
unless those responsible for the
present industrial strife will first
rocede from their position of unfair
.antagonism TO the trades union
movement and agree to meet it on
Ian equitable and fair basis, giving
fair consideration to its aspirations
rather than to pursue the policy
they have now begun of attempting
to break down the union shop, the
only instrument through which la
Dor has ever secured any advance
.ment. and on which it must depend
in the future for pl otection and
progress. To ask labor to forego
the union shop is to, in substance,
ask it to commit suicide, and suicide
lis unlawful in the United States of
america, and the trades union
movement is religiously law-abid-
ing institution.
The principle of collective bar
gaining has become thoroughly es-
tablshed and accepted among all
classes of people imbued with the
spirit Of democracy, thanks to the
years of patient effort and sacrifice
OF the trades union movement, anu
only those who have been able to
hold themselves above the law
have dared, in the face of public
sentiment, to repudiate it.
Only such institutions as the
United States Steel Corporation,
headed by Judge Gary, and a few
other great, powerful financial and
industrial corporations, who have
established a sort of super-Soviet
and ignored the application of dem
ocratic law, have in this day and
age refused to accept the sound,
equitable principle of collective
bargaining. And inasmuch as they
have succeeded, so far, in evading
all other laws through their undue
power, there seems little reason
why we should believe they would

INGRATITUDE OF
THE EMPLOYERS
TO EX-S0L0lERS

The Seattle star of the lNth

attic employers. The Star inves-
tigated and discovered that there
are approximately $500 returned
soldiers walking the streets of Seat
tle iobless and in need. Most OF
the ex-seryice men were volunteers
and among the last to return from
France.
Employers promised their en-
ployees that when the war was
ended they would get their old jobs
back. but what did they do?
They filled the vacancies made by
the men who sacrificed their all
that democracy might live with
the cheapest labor obtainable and
when the survivors from the army
of liberty returned these same en-
ployers forgot" the men who
fought for them and their country
for freedom and democracy-an
went on piling up profits. They
forgot Truth. Honor, God and hui
manity, and devoted themselves to
the worship of Mammon.
The Star says;
"A nation, or city, that will
not take care of its heroes, a city
that will not fulfill its obligations
to those Who dared all for the COM
mon weal-that country and that
city is rotten somewhere. probably
at the top
And the employer who has not
made good to those men who went
away to save the business and

soul is shamed into justice.
