Lane Urges Every
Community ind
Jobs for Soldiers
Tells Council of National
Defence Bureaus to Pro-
vide Employment Should
Be Opened Everywhere

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-Agneri
eanization of aliens and general help
fitness in solving rehabilitation
problems were the two salient recon-
mendations made to-day by Franklin
h. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, as
chairman of. the field division of the
Council of National Defence in in
structions sent to all state and county
units of the council.
Emphasizing the Importance of main
tanning community councils of defence
on partisan, non sectartan and
wholly American basis" for the work
OF peace, Secretary Lane declared that
the first and greatest task of an or
gained community is to study its
community problems as whole and
then to see that each problem is AIDE
quately taken care of by some par
ticular agency or by the creation of
a new agency or through direct action
by the community.
1t is not the intention from Wash
ington to instruct councils as to their
duties, continued Secretary Lane, but
matter of suggestion in follow
ing out lines of WORK necessary to be
carried on by the community organizes,
tions during the REIMBURSEMENT period
outlined.
Provide for Soldiers
Since no present task is more i'm
portant than providing for the welfare
of the returning soldiers, see to it that
a bureau for returning soldiers, sail
ors, and war workers, to provide en-
ployment, Information and other as
sistance is created wherever conditions
warrant 1t, under the plans of the
United States employment service.
See to it that every soldier coming
into your community who has any liti-
cation pending against him under the
Soldiers and sailors civil rights act
is given free legal service for the con
duct of the litigation.
Safeguard the moral welfare of the
returning men by seeing that all regu-
lations as TO sale Of liquor and for
the prevention of diseases are rigor-
Dusty enforced, and that if such ordi-
nances do not exist they are immedi-
ately enacted.
See to it that no disabled man re-
turning to the community fails to take
the special vocational training given
by the Federal Board for vocational
education, which will fit him to earn
his living, and that he is not msled
by unwise entertainment to believe
that he can live on his reputation,
Urges Reception for All
HSe 10 II tHat some group IN the
community gives an appropriate recep-
ton to each soldier and sailor immedi-
2tely upon his return.
Assist the adjutant general in pro-
viding for orderly rehabilitation by
reporting to the nearest agent of the
Department of Justice all deserters
from the army who come into the COM
munity, or, preferably, by inducing
them to return to their camps.
report to the bureau of war risk
insurance, Washington, d. c., all cases
of allotments and allowances being
paid after soldiers are discharged or
TO persons falsely claiming to be wives,
children or dependents.
Unite with the county farm agent
in carrying out the national agri-
cultural programme necessary to meet
the present emergency demand for
food

Run by Bolsheviki

Resigns From Workers.,

Group; Arrests Expected
Stag Correspondence

stag Correspondence
SEATTLE. Wash, Feb. 20.-Charges
made by NJ. X. Kennedy, vice presi-
dent Of the Metal Trades Council, con-
Quoting the shipyards strike here. that
the Workers, Soldiers and Sailors
Council had "fallen into the hands of
|. W. W. and Bolshevik delegates"
were supplemented to-day by the dec
laratIon of Sumner Lombard, state in
spector of the minute men division of
the American Protective League, that
that council had never been anything
else but revolutionary.
Kennedy substantiated the last
charge. and, in resigning as q dele
gate from the Metal Trades Council
to the soviet body, declared that be-
cause the unions had neglected to send
delegates, the Workers., Soldiers and
Sailors Council had been ruled by the
leaders of tho |. W. W. and by an
archists outside the ranks Of legiti-
mate labor.
The Workers, Soldiers and Sailors
Council was organized through the
efforts of the Metal Trades Council
last December. It's authorized pur-
pose was to distribute a large relief
fund gathered by the Seattle unions
bers, and to unite the interests of the
returned soldiers and the men at work,
S that employers would be unable
to play one against the other in the
labor market.
Deeper purposes were detected by
many of the hundred or more soldiers
and sailors who attended the first
meetings, and most Of them withdrew
to form a new body, the Soldiers and
Sailors Council. Each body is trying
to get control of the relief fund, of
which $4,000 has been collected and
is in the treasury of the Metal Trades
Council.
1t is believed that the half dozen
|. w. w. men and labor radicals ar
rested last week or sought by the
police in conjunction with the closing
of a printing Office which had done
work for the |. w. w. are actually
wanted for their participation in the
Workers., Soldiers and Sailors Coun-
Gil.
Leon Green, now at large is said to
have made speeches at the council
meetings in which he used threats
that sailors would make the streets Of
Seattle run red with blood as they
had made the streets of Petrograd.

L. S. Board to Fix
Carpenters Wages
On Brooklyn Job
Body Will Meet
Here Tuesday; Decision
May Be Accepted by All,
Settling Builders Strike

WASHINGTON, Feb 2O-The gov
ernmcnt's emergency construction ad-
Justment commission will meet in New
York Tuesday to fix a definite wage to
be paid carpenters at the BROOKLYN
storage base, the only large unfinished
war project in the New York district.
T. A. Rickert, a labor member of
Of the War Labor Board, was selected
to-day by Secretary Morrison, of the
American Federation Of Labor to rep
resent labor on the commission. The
other members who will compose the
commission at its meeting in the En-
glneers' Club in New York City will
be DR.. e. Nj. Hopkins, who will pre-
side, and Colonel J. H Alexander
The announcement from Washington
last night that the emergency CON
struction adjustment commission would
meet in New York Tuesday to consider
carpenters wages at the Brooklyn army
base led labor men TO predict that
nothing will come of the efforts to
bring the carpenters union and the
building trades employers association
into agreement until after this body
makes its findings.
The significance Of the meeting of the
emergency commission here lays in the
fact that it was on the Brooklyn job
that the trouble started last November
Labor men believe that the rate the
| commission will fix will be in excess of
the $3.50 the employers offer and that
this will be the rate finally agreed on
for all work in this section.
To consider the situation further, a
conference is scheduled for this after
noon in the rooms of the association
between committee of union car
penters and a group of master car
penters.
The decision to hold another confer
ence, as suggested by Secretary of
War Baker and Secretary of Labor
Wilson was agreed to late yesterday
could be nothing gained by such a
meeting.
The decision not to meet was based
on the fact that tive-hour conference
in Washington Wednesday had left the
two sides as far apart as when it be-
gan. At this session Mr.. Hutchesor
told his New York associates yesterday
the employers committee refused to
agree to the suggestions of Secretaries
Baker and Wilson that the matter be
referred to the War Labor Board or to
| tHc OilcI OIL lle union committee &c
leave it to the two secretaries.
"They insisted" said Mr.. Hutche-
son, ION the return of the men to
work at $3.50 and arbitration unde,
the contract which expired on Deem
Der 81. Our answer to that was that
the contract had expired and tina,
neither side was bound to abide by its
provisions. We made absolutely nc
headway."
The committee that went to Wash
ington represented all of the building
trades Those which will meet to-day
will be made up entirely of carpen-
ters. Neither side indicated much
confidence that anything would come
from it. 1t was felt however, that as
a matter of fairness to the Cabinet
members, who have interviewed, that
their request for another conference
here be lived up to before the warning
parties present themselves in Wash
lngton for second time Monday.
