Washington. Oct 21.-Use by the
government of its war powers to avert
the threatened nation wide railroad
strike. while suggested in some quar-
ters. will not be exercised. it was as
serted late Friday in high administers

however. as, to what course would be
followed or what information the gov
ernment may have had from the labor
board.
1t was made plain by high officials
that they believed the use of war pow
ers was not necessary, meanwhile de-
claring that this nation is at peace. y
Belief was expressed that amicaole
and definite results could be obtained
through negotiations rather than by
the use of force such as involved in
the exercise of war powers
60aFo Acting Now.
In the absence of any indication that
the administration was considering
mandatory control of the railroads, the
action of the labor board in citing
union heads and rail chiefs to appear
before it was interpreted here as
showing that the board had received
assurances from Washington that its
supervision of the situation was un-
affected by the recent developments.
The boards intention, as understood
brotherhood chiefs or the railroad
executives. or both. had not in face
already contravened provisions Of the
transportation act.
In high administrative circles it was
reiterated Friday that it was "still the
labor boards affair."" While the presi-
dent had not been advised officially of
the boards action at late hour, it
was understood that he approved the
move.
Officials Prepared.
Discussion of the use. Of war, powers
by the cabinet was understood to hnve
been limited. but several pertinent
wacts were developed which gave rise
to the belief that some officials al
ready had worked out u program to
be followed in event strike should
menace the supply of essentials. It
was learned also that officials who had
suggested such a course to the presi-
dent had catalogued men available for
train operation.
Should the situation arise necesitat-
ing reversion to these powers, or. other
methods OF temporary government
control, the war department would be-
come the focal point, It was explained.
The army already has its personnel
listed by occupations and ID IN a posi-
ton to put some men aboard trains

"The civil war which broke out
and the desperate position in
which ths republic found itself
compelled US to change directly to

lengthy experience convinced US
that without having gone through
a period of sociaIistic adjustment
and investigation it was not pos

have put their backs into the work and
achieved record postwar output or
5,307,0 600 tons for one week. Ii this
rate is maintained for five weeks their
pay will be increased by about $780,

miners were told that II they pro-
duced between 25S.O00,00 and 262. 0O0.-
600 tons In year of so weeks they
would get an extra 3 shillings and D
pence day (normally equivalent to
about 81 cents) from January 3, 1921,

To the hard-boiled observer hefes
thing that appears rather queer IN

nloymant. some American industries OF
size are lengthening the hours OF work
or are sticking To the two-shift SYSTEM
IA stone-age remnant, while IN some
other large industrial countries the
trend Is toward shortening OF hours.
In steel, for instance, some OF the
independents In this country are re-
opening on two-shift basis where
they formerly had three shlfts--the
working day thus is stretched from
eight hours TO twelve hours. Ihe steer
CORPORATION itself Is still adhering 10

In nearly, every other large producing

All In all, II Is a disturbing trend as
viewed by labor, which sees In IL
resurge from the eight-hour.day move
ment. Conservative labor leaders say
II demonstrates desire by some large
employers to keep the supply OF labor
In relation to jobs as high as possible.
They link 1t up with the fight made
against restriction of immigration, and
the estimates from some employing
groups that the United States Is short

BY JOHN j. LEARY. JR.
Two methods of handling labor
question were exemplified in Philadei-
phia recently.
The first: At the great Cramp
works, 10000 men were on strike
against an arbitrary cut In wages, ex-
ira police and guards were on hand 10
prevent violence and possible damage
TO property, a battalion of union pick
cts sought 10 keep new employees
from entering the yards. The company
and the men were meantime register
ing losses and production was crippled.
The second: In a room In the Estey
building ten men sat around table.
Five represented the $4,000 union
shipbuilders along the Atlantic coast.
Five represented the big yards. The
ten discussed the situation from every
angle, tentatively agreed on a 10 per
cent reduction in wages, this to- be
subject TO referendum approval by the
men. Meantime there are no losses
to employers or employed through
stoppage, as production continues.
That is the method--the shock abb
sorber-used during the war to protect
the industry against labor extremists
and prevent stoppage, applied to peace
conditions, and now functioning to pro-
tect the workers from extremists
among the employers, and interruption
to production.
The tentative agreement on a 10 per
To. s.as .sf
ferences called under the agreement
by which the Atlantic Coast Ship Yard
board was set up. Under this the
metal trades department of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor named five
members. The yard owners named
another five. The ten made wage rates
and laid down working conditions.
These by agreement were subject to
review on 80 days notice from either
side.
Because of the decline In the world
demand for ships and the big reduc-
tion in the prices of foreign shipyards.
the shipbuilding companies some time
ago asked revision. Their demands
were for 20 per cent cut in wages,
plus revision In working conditions,
involving classification of mechanics
downward. Not getting quick action.
the Cramps management withdrew
from the organization and put cut
into effect. The strike followed. In
this there has been much violence,
with two men now in hospitals at the
point of death.
The other large companies. includ-
ing the Bethlehem Shipbuilding cor
poration, with Its principal plants at
Quincy, Mass; Elizabethport, N. j..
and Sparrow's Point. Nd. which has
separate agreement, proceeded with
the conference, finally agreeing on the
10 per cent cut to be voted upon by
the men.
