Open Shop Declared ON
u. S. Job; Soldiers Work
Call for Non-Union Carpenters
Answered by Discharged
Men in Uniforms

Threat of a general carpenters and
builders strike did not affect work on
the United States army base at Fifty
second Street and Second Avenue, South
Brooklyn, where an open shop was de-
clared and about 100 non-union men
went to work yesterday guarded by
soldiers. Some Of the non-union men
we're former soldiers in uniform.
Although 500 pickets had been prom
ised, only a few civilians put in an ap-
pearance, and except for the soldiers
there was no evidence of strike trouble
The situation was explained by the
constructing quartermaster
The carpenters in November made a
demand for a wage increase. The War
Department decided the rate in New
York for carpenters was $3.50 day
The carpenters struck and have re-
manned out since. The dock builders
went out at the same time. Workmen
are being employed to-day to complete
all carpenter and dock building, to
bring about prompt completion Of the
entire project"
1t was said that the dock builders
were offered an increase from $5 a day
to $3.50 a day, but failed to return to
work Work which should have been
turned over completed to the govern
ment on January 1 is still unfinished
as a result of the strike, it was de-
clared.

SYRACUSE, Feb 1O.-Carleton A.
Chase, Of this city, president of the
Associated Manufacturers and Mer-
chants of New York State, has for
warded to Secretary of Labor Wilson
his resignation as a member of the
advisory board of the United States
Employment Service for New York
State
This, following so closely upon res
olutions adopted by the directors of the
association protesting against the con-
tinuaton of the service, backs up the
action of Mark A. DAILY, general secre-
tary of the association, who was as
sailed by Acting Director Kirchwey, of
New York, as having some ulterior
motive in declaring against the extern
sion and perpetuation of the United
States Employment Service. President
Chase also notified Acting Director
Kirchwey that he had sent his resig-
nation to Secretary Wilson.
Mr.. Chase, in his letter to Secretary
Wilson says, in part:
"Since the armistice, some of the
incentive has been taken away from
the members Of the Community Labor
Board, which clearly affects their use

British Syndicalist
Predicts Failure i'm
Strikers Movement
Effort 10 Break Away From
Union Leaders Is Called
Backward Step by Repre-
sentative of Labor Party

A syndicalist's Interpretation of the
industrial upheaval which is takine
place in Great Britain was given tc
Inc Tribune yesterday by John l.
Jones, auditor of the British Steel
Smelters' Union and member of the
Manchester and Stafford Trades and
Labor Council as we'll as of the Man
chester and Stafford Labor party.
Mr. Jones, who IS in communication
with labor leaders in England. at once
dlsmssed any idea that the present
British labor disturbances might be di-
rected against the government.
The two main objectivcs underlying
1he present British industrial unrest,
salo Nr. Jones, care the absorption OF
the the unemployed by bringing about re-
uuction IN working hours, and the rails
ing OF the purchasing power of the
masses, so that there shall not be peri-
odlc overproduction, followed by glutted
markets, depression and unemployment
Workers Lose Confidence
Many of the British workers have
lost confidence in the politicians and
forming councils of workmen and sol.
dlers, and with this in view are re-
pudlatlng the union leaders and vestinp
power IN the local shop stewards
rms movement is localized on the
Clyde, in Belfast, South Wales and te
some extent in the Midlands.
lt IS bound to fail because the posi
tloh OF the British workers is not ia
these things. ''$' %'''0
The lesson was learned in 1911 bv
the workers. They want to mt tbe
power OF declaring strikes in the hands
OF their shop stewards and avoid the
delays OF referring such matters to
union leaders 1t is, of course, a reac-
'lon from syndicalism and has the
effect of sectionalizing the workers.
On the other hand there is a power
iul syndicalist movement, led bv Tom
Mann. Already the syndicalist ten
dency Tor organization of all the work
crs IN an industry in one union is
manifest. For example, the railroad
workers. the Miners Federation and
the transport workers, numbering 8
million and half, have agreed to take
common action in industrial disputes
Sees Failure in Movement
"The decentralizing movement will
believe, fail. The government vii
conccde lower hours and has ALREADY
started to do so in London. There viii
then be a period of reaction and ther
the syndicaist or industrial unior
moyement viii grow rapidly.

ain. think rather than a repudiatio,
OF political government there will b,

Labor party is at present the opposi

PERSONALLY, l am for syndicalisn

BERNIE, Feb. 9.-The international
Socialist Labor Conference pursues its
work utterly oblivious of the storming
of Samuel Gompers against its irregu-
larities. At the request of American
journalists President Branting and the
organizing secretary, Arthur Hender-
son, issued d statement to-day reply
ing to the accusations Of Mr.. Gompers,
saying that "the character and organ
ization of the Berne conference has
been attacked and so misrepresented
that it is impossible to understand the
motive and spirit by which his state
ments were Influenced.
"There is only one explanation, the
statement continued, namely, that in
consequence of the failure OF Mr. Com
pers to prevent the conference being
held, an mplshment to which he
equally diligent in an attempt to un-
dermine its influence"
Answering the words of Mr.. Com
pers, Charles Edward Russell and
William English Wallng that the
Berne congress could cnly be "de-
scribed as a so-called international
conference Of social labor delegates" :"
Branting and Henderson replied that
''twenty-six nationaities are repre-
sented"
They also said that for nearly four
years the American Federation of La
Dor encouraged the idea of an inter
national class conference at the same
time and if possible at the same place,
as the peace conference.
"Thorefore," they commented, much
stronger grounds for the abandonment
of the idea must be found than those
contained in this futile attack on the
Bcrne conference"
Both Rranting and Henderson char
acterized as "malignant and entirely
without foundation" the statement
that one third of the Berne congress
membership had been recognized by
the rulers of the Russian Soviets as
Bolsheviki in good standing.
"The best answer to that" they said,
"is firstly,s the attitude Of uncompro-
missing hostility which the Bolshevlkl
everywhere assumed in regard to the
conference; secondly, the presence at
the conference OF number of Russian
Socialists who have been driven from
their homes and country by the pol
icy of the Bolsheviki."
