"Bawled Out"

New York-Because associations

pute with their employees regarding
pay and working hours was rebuked
by the national war labor board, which
overruled their claim that the New
York harbor wage adjustment board,
created under an agreement with their
men, had gone out of existance with
the signing of the armistice.
The war labor board dismissed the
contention of the employers that its
functions ceased with the signing of
the armistice. The secondary plea of
the boat owners that the wage ad-
justment board had been dissolved by
resignation of some of itsmembers
was denied, and advised that immedi-

OF the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy

What will labor do now that the
war has ended ?"
This oft-repeated question is being
answered all over the United States
by what labor is doing.
First of all Labor is standing firm
on the ground which it has gained by
its long years of endeavor brought to
climax by the patriotic demands of
the war.
Labor stood unwayering in its fealty
to the principles of political democracy
during the war for freedom of the op-
pressed people of Europe.
Now it stands equally firm for its
own economic freedom at home.
The membership of the American
Federation of Labor has increased
by about one million during the period
of the war Organizers everywhere
report unparalleled success. The hour
has struck for the complete and final
overthrow of the opponents of collec-
tive bargaining Their day has passed.
Reports of progress are universal.
Organized labor is making a stand

January 22nd.
Will Explain Work On U. S,
Employment Service.

This war was won by the working
men at home as we'll as by the boys at
the front. Every man and woman en-
gagged in useful occupation, and all
sticking to their jobs day after day
until the war was won was the object
for which the United States Employ
ment Service was organized. The day
of private labor recruiting is over.
The private employment agency with
its fees and its encouragement Of
labor turnover is at the end of its
career. The United States Employ
ment Service, under the direction of
Hon. John B. Densmore, is revolution
izing the employment situation of this
country.
"Win the War" was the slogan of
this Service No man idle, no man
idling, and regulation is what the De-
partment of Labor's system is work
ing to bring about Production, not
profit. is every mans duty today.
Mr.. Nicholas Van Der Pyl, who will
tell about the great work of the y. S.
Employment Service, will speak here
in this city-before the Manufacturers
Association on January % at o'clock.
He has for many years beer. prominent
as a lecturer and writer on industrial
problems, and is one of several indus
trial research experts who have been
selected by the Information and Ed
ucation Service of the Department of
Labor to visit cities where Govern
ment contracts are being filled,
Since the first of July, Mr.. Van Der

Mr. Van Der Pyl was born in Boston

into the newspaper work, put himself
through college, and has been connect

years. He has made thorough study
of social and industrial movements,

Child Labor
Tax.
FAVORED BY UNITED
STATES SENATE.

Washington, The senate has ap-
proved a bill assessing a tax of 10 per
cent on child labor by vote Of 80 to
u The minority vote was cast by
southern democrats. The new amend
ment was drawn after the decision of
the supreme court invalidating the
previous law and has the approval of
the president It provides that those
who employ child labor shall pay for
each taxable year, in addition to all
other taxes imposed by law, and excise
tax equivalent to 10 per centum of the
entire net profits received or accrued
for such year from the sale of the pro
ducts of such labor. The labor of
children is prohibited in certain in
dustries under Is years and in others
as low as IA The action of the SEN
ate is apparently disapproval of the
notification by the supreme court of
the previous child labor law
Senator Lenroot, in speaking on the
amendment, said: Take away the
incentive of profit and the practice
will be abandoned He read from
President Wilson's address urging
that taxation be utilized to stamp out
profteering and said his recommended
tion was being followed. This is one
method of reaching the profteers.
The amount of revenue resulting from
the amendment may be nominal. The
The main purpose of this legislation
is to stop a very great evil and throw
around the children a protection that
will insure US Of a more vigorous and
healthy progeny.

opportunity for regulation offered
through international treaties. It is
felt that particular nations should not
be permitted to demoralize the mar
kets of other countries that are striv-
ing to uphold decent business stand
ards.
1T is well, however, not to forget
that one of the important factors in
production is labor he continued.
Labor is entitled to at least equal
consideration with credit and raw
materials in any plan for industrial
and international peace. If, under the
circumstances which have developed
in the world war, an apparent effort
is made to belittle or even to postpone
the Just claims of labor now more
strongly organized economically, and
to a rapidly increasing degree politi-
cally throughout the western world,
there viii be serious unrest.
Labor in Europe has learned. at its
own cost and to the loss Of efficiency
of it's respective governments, that
war endangers every legal safeguard
thrown about labor, he concluded.
Even in this country, where we had
been warned by the earlier experience
Of Europe, it was only by the most en-
ergetic and united efforts that protec-
tive labor standards were for the most
part maintained during our eighteen
months participation in the struggle.
Does this not suggest that if the
workers of many industrial nations
come to have common interest in
the maintenance Of international pro
tective labor standards, their interests
will form am additional bulwark OPP
posed to the plunging Of the world
into war? We can't stand still We
can't 90 back. We should, and must,
go forward

to the wage adjustment board, citing,
in emphasizing the urgency of such
action, "the necessity of food being
shipped to Europe for the civilian pop
ulations and for our forces under arms
across the sea-"
Previous to the reading of the de-
cision by Mr.. Taft, the boat owners
announced that they were willing to
arbitrate the wage question, but not
before the wage adjustment board,
which they considered without au-
thority.' A basic eight-hour day,
they asserted, was impracticable for
harbor craft
The owners delegates left the con
ference without any intimation as to
whether their attitude had been
changed by the war labor boards

Unless the expressed determination
of the boat owners is modified and
they agree to conform to the action
of the joint chairman of the war
labor board a strike of the harbo1
workers is apparently inevitable To
force such action at the present time
would seriously hamper the shipment
of necessary supplies to Europe to re-
