Labor in Days Before War.


When, early in 1917. the clouds of
war began to become apparent to
discerning men. a call was issued
from the headquarters of the Arneri-
can Federation of ofLabor in Washing
ton asking the officials and leaders
trade unions to assemble in Wash
ington on March IL. The die had
not been cast for war at that date.
But the representatives of the great
American labor movement then
adopted unanimously a declaration
that, come peace or come the bitter
days of war, there was but one place
for labor and that was under the
flag. for the flag and with the flag
The words of the conclusion of that
declaration will bear repeating. for
no expression like it has been uttered
in any other land. Thus spoke labor
on March IL, 1917:
I'VE. the officers of the national
and international trade unions of
America in national conference as
sembled in the capital Of our nation.
hereby pledge ourselves in peace or
in war. in stress or in storm, to stand
unreserxedly by the standards of lib
erty and the safety and preservation
of the institutions and ideals of our
republic.
''In this solemn hour of our ma
tion's life, it is our earnest hope that
our republic may be safeguarded in
its answering desire for peace: that
our people may be spared the hor-
rors and the burdens of war; that
they may have the opportunity to
cultivate and develop the arts of
peace. human brotherhood and a
higher civilization.
But. despite all our endeavors
and hopes. should our country be
drawn into the maelstrom of the
European conflict, we. with these
ideals Of liberty and justice herein
declared. as the indispensable basis
for national policies, offer our serv-
ices to our country in every field of
activity, to defend. safeguard and
preserve the republic of the United
states Of America against it's enc
mics whornsoever they may be. and we
call upon our fellow workers and fell
low citizens in the holy name of
labor, justice, freedom and humanity
to devotedly and patriotically give
like service"

America and the Labor Issue
What the Toiler Demands and Intends to Get

organize and bargain collectively
through chosen representatives Is
recognized and affirmed. This right
shall not be denied, abridged or in
terfered with by the employers in
any manner whatsoever"
Thus. the right of workers to a
voice in the determination Of their
conditions of life became one of
Americas guiding principles not only
in the war industries of the govern
ment, but the spirit became most
general among employers the coun-
try over. The men and women OF
toll had come to stand straight and
to speak with authority in matters
of executive direction. In these days
when so many prophets throughout
the world are prociainfng revolutions
of such sweeping character. it may
be presumptuous for me to use the
word revolution" but l maintain
that when we reached that point in
our national life where labor as--
sumed a directing role in the affairs
of the country. very definite and
practical revolution had been accom-
plished. A definite result had been
gained. a deep-rooted concept COM
pletely destroyed and replaced by
new one of exactly opposite char

acter, and the struggling masses OF
mankind given a new status in So
ciety.e
The Demands of Labor.
Labor insisted upon the right of
determining the conditions under
which service would be given. Labor
will continue to insist upon main
tanning that principle as right in
perpetuity. Labor demands also the
right Of full representation in all
activities Of our industrial. CONNER
cial; political and social life.
We have come through the war.
The worth Of labor's creative efforts
and of 1abor's administrative thought
is written into every page OF the
record. Labor gave service to the
conviction and consciousness. Ihe
voluntary offering of free men for
the principle they believe in sur
passes any product of bondage, the
world has ever known or ever could
know.
We are upon days no less trying
than the days Of war, and no less
fraught with great consequences. The
service Of labor to our country Will
be great, il its opportunities are
great, a true reflection of the status
that labor occupies in the nation.
The higher and sfreer the position OF
labor, the greater and nobler will be
the service Of labor Bondmen might
write declaration of freedom, but
they could not conduct their own af-
fairs and act the part Of freedom
until they had become free. Ameri-
can labor has achieved the great
fundamentals Of industrial freedom
and it has established this fact in the
life and consciousness of the COM
munity. AS free men they wish to
go forward in constructive effort to
improve all life from day to day as
opportunity offers, working to that
end with every person, every agency
and every influence that seeks prog
ress. We are on the road called
Progress and We cannot and shall not
turn back.
II there be those whose desire it is
to turn back. labor will resist. and
resist to the utmost, every effort they
put forth. The safety and well being
of our country and of the world lie
in going forward. Never was this
as true as 1t is today. The will of
the world is set to go forward. There
are among US those whose minds are
set upon raction, it is true. Not in
our time will the world be free of
those whose creed is reaction. Were
we within sight Of the p. oenised land
itself I verify believe there ~>oud be
some who would turn their faces To
the rear, out of fear that some seliisl
interest would be lost in the bright
ness of the future.

BILL AIMED
AT SCRUBS
OF STATE
Measure Now Being Drafted to
Provide Means for Pure Bred
Cattle for Oklahoma
Stockmen.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1S.-The
bill intended to Danish scrub BULLS
from the state by legislative action
is being drafted by the promoters
along the lines outlined by J. Rob-
ert Gillian when he launched the
move to drive scrubs from the state
several months ago.
The proposed law will provide for
the payment of the difference be-
tween the market price and 10 cents
a pound for scrub bulls out of state
fund created for chat purpose, but
there will be nothing to compel the
owners of scrub bulls to sell them at
that price,
To the contrary, scrubs will be per-
mitted to do service until the end of
their usefulness as breeding animals
and it shall be optional with the own
ers of scrubs whether advantage is
taken of the attractive price afford
ed them by the provisions of the bill
or retain them.
Those, however, who sell their
scrub bulls at 10 cents a pound will
be required to apply the amount so
received toward the purchase price of
registered bull. And in addition,
such owners Of scrubs Will be en-
abled to borrow sums not exceeding
5000 from the state for the purpose
of buying bulls of pure blood with
pedigree.
1t is claimed by the promoters that
the replacing of scrub with registered
bulls will result in practically dou-
bling the value of the cattle in the
state within five years, and that the
legislation to be asked will be the
more radically beneficial to the
farmers and cattle raisers than any
law ever enacted in this or any other
state.
AS the matter stands at the present
time, there will be several members
of the senate and as many members
of the house of representatives sign
the bill, and it is expected that by
making it non-partisan in character
it will go over with a whoop.

One CASE COMES OUT
OF GASLESS SUNDAY

Atlanta, Ca, April 11.-Although it
is not recorded that there were any
actual arrests or prosecutions of
automobile owners for using their
cars on the gasless Sundays inaugu-
rated last fall for the conservation of
gasoline, there is shortly going to be
at least one prosecution in Georgia
growing out of a gasless Sunday.
A requisition was issued yesterday
by Governor Dorsey for white man
by the name of William Raines who
is wanted in the city of Columbus on
a charge of shooting a negro garage
porter because the negro refused to
sell him gasoline on Sunday last
November Raines was arrested and
bound over on charge of assault
with intent to murder and his bond
was fixed at $500. This bond was
skipped and his bondmen had to pay
it. But they did not give UP their
efforts to locate him. He was recent
ly found in Colorado Springs, Col,
and was arrested there and held for
the arrival of a Georgia officer
a deputy on yesterday came from
Columbus to Atlanta to secure requi-
sition for Raines, and he will be
brought back to Columbus and prose
cuted
