Still Tied Up In Its Fight
For Longer Week.

Toledo, Ohio, The Overland auto
me bile plant failed to break lockout
cf its employees by attempting to op-
crate its plant 1t discovered its mis-
take when the engineers and fremen
suspended work.
For three years this plant has been
operating on a 45-hour a week basis
and month ago the company gave
notice that 48 hours would hereafter
prevail, and locked out those who re-
fused to accept it. About $4,000
workers in this and allied plants de-
clined to lengthen their work day and
they are now idle.
The company refused to accept this
offer as a basis for a settlement:
"All former employees to be rein
stated to former positions, the hours
to remain as prior to May /, and after
the resumption of operations the COM
pany to meet with duly elected COM
mittees, in an effort to adjust the
wage scale and other shop rules"
Business interests are lined up a.
gainst the workers and every attempt
has been made to becloud the issue,
which the strikers show is as follows: !:
The eight-hour day with Saturday
afternoons off because it has been in
effect for the last three years
A minimum rate established to old
employees against being displaced by
cheaper labor.
Shop committees selected by employ
es on their own time to be recognized
III the adjustment of grievances.
answer to the company's claim
THAT the wage demands would total
81 100000 the strikers quote the com
pany's figures to show that the com
pany would still have S1,320,000 over
and above what it has declared is a
fair return to investors.

full person viii wish to bring them
help.
But there is another side to the
scale of these little stamps While it
helps our government, it also helps
those who buy, 1t helps them to be
careful of their money 1t helps them
to lay by little which will stand to
credit as a resource. This is surely a
worth while thing to do
And so the work of selling War
Savings Stamps does two things:
1t helps get money for our govern
ment at time when it needs money
1t helps the purchaser of stamps
to accumulate a little money that he
may need at later time
1t is good work grateful Re-

authorizing the chairman to appoint a
committee of five to prepare a definite
plan whereby action could be taken,

And Syracuse Carpenters
Strike.

Syracuse, n u, Since May 2, 1918
on arbitration board of the carpenter
contractors and members Of the Car
penters' union has successfully dealt
with all disputes On April l last
the carpenters union was notified
that the board had been dissolved,
notwithstanding the fact that a mu-
tual plan had been agreed upon to
govern such action that plan not
having been conformed to the car
penters refused to assent to the dis
memberment of the board When the
protest of the carpenters was filed
with the contracting carpenters, the
latter informed the carpenters repre-
sentative that the builders exchange
had insisted on its obrogation While
making that admission they also con
fessed that all relations had been mu-
tually satisfactory, but that if they
would consent to the demands of the
carpenters being considered by the
same board in all probability the de-
cision would favor the workers. For
that reason the exchange insisted on
its termination. In the hope that the
negotiations for the continuation of
the usefulness of the board would not
be ended the carpenters refrained
from striking. Now, that all peaceful
efforts have failed, drastic action viii
result. The contractors have conceded
the carpenters are entitled to more
pay, but they bear the wrath of the
builders exchange

A Loyal American Is

President of the American Federation
of Labor
Let not the great issues and events
of today take our thoughts wholly
away from those small and quiet du-
ties without the performance of which
the larger scheme of things may be
endangered.
The great wheels often must be
turned by silent power that exerts
its force where there is no limehght
and no great acclaim. But the great
wheels must be turned.
The sale of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps helps to keep the great wheels
of the American GOV ernment turning
at their proper speed With the high
pitch Of war excitement almost gone,
this work is one Of perseverance in
the line of duty. The men and women
who sell and the men and women who
buy are doing work no less worthy
than it was when our troops went
charging over the Hindenburg line.
1t is no less worthy now than it was
when the drums were beating. And
it is no less needed
