DANIELS IS TO
MAKESTEELC CO.
KEEP ITS WORD
Every Power of Navy to Be
Used in Making Labor
Board Awards Binding
By Associated Press


Washington, Jan. 1S.-Every pow
er of the Navy Department will be
used to force the acceptance by
companies with which it has con-
tracts of awards made by the War
Labor Board, Secretary Daniels said
to-day, after a conference with Joint
Chairman Taft of the board, on the
situation growing out of the Beth
lehem Steel Company's refusal to
put into operation one of these
awards.
Mr.. Daniels said he was taking up
at once the question of how the de-
partment should proceed. 1t appear
ed, he said thatthe Bethlehem
Company had agreed some months
ago to permit collective bargaining
and the establishment of shop COM
mittees among its employees, but as
soon as the armistice was signed,
the company lost interest"
No hint was given as to what form
the Navy Departments action might
take, but Mr.. Daniels pointed out
that every contract let by the Navy
included cancellation clause. The
War Department has more and larg-
err contracts with the Bethlehem
Company than the Navy.
Joint Chairman Taft announced
later that the War Labor Board
would defer for ten days it's decision
on the complaint of Bethlehem Steel
Company employees that the COM
pany had not lived up to the terms
of awards.

WOULDFORCE NEW
MOONEY TRIAL BY
A GENERAL STRIKE
Labor Delegates Adjourn Con-
vention Following This
Action

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Delegates tc
the National Labor Congress are on
their way home to-day after having
decided yesterday for a general
July as means of obtaining ane
strike of organized labor beginning
new trial for Thomas J. Mooney and
Warren Billings. This action will
only be taken delegates to-day said,
II federal Intervention and every
other means adopted to procure the
desired relief fail.
The convention concluded its four
day session last night and adjourned.
1t authorized the raising OF a fund
OF S1,000,0O0 to carry on a cam
paign of education to liberate the
labor leaders and to promote the
general strike. 1t is planned to
finance the movement by levying an
assessment of fifty cents on each
member of organized labor in the
country.
The convention adopted the pro-
gram recommended by the 'Interna-
tional Workers Defense League to
secure the liberation of Mooney and
Billings which was presented to the
delegates in the final report of the
committee on resolutions. 1t pro-
Nlded that committee of five
labor representatives be named to
go to Washington and ask Presi-
dent Wilson and members of Con-
gress for federal intervention.
The committee will ask that q
special assistant United States attor-
ney general be appointed to obtain
the release of Mooney and Billings
by habeas corpus or other means in
order that they may have new trials
in court outside of California.
The Legislature of California will
be asked to pass a law which will
enable the courts of that state to
grant new trials in cases where con-
victions are obtained, by perjured
evidence or other fraudulent means.
II these means fail then organized
labor will be asked to call the gen.
eral strike. The plan of the Inter
national Workers Defense League is
that the general strike will not be
called unless other means to secure
the labor leaders release has
failed.
The American Federation of
Labor will be asked to endorse the
general strike at its next annual con-
vention.
