u. S. BOYS WHO SERVED
WITH ALLIES PREFERRED

WASHINGTON, d. c., April %
Under a ruling Of the United States
Civil Service Commission today, citi-
zens of the United States who served
in the forces of the allies during the
World War will be given preference
in appointments to civil service posi-
tions. Heretofore, the preference has
extended only to those who served
in the American forces, to their
widows. and to their wives under GER
tain conditions
In authorizing this extension of
the preference, the Civil Service
Commission states that consideration
is given TO the fact that service in
the forces Of the Allies was in a
common cause, and Cor a considerable
time under a common commandment
chief; that is, after March % 1918
when Marshal Foch was placed in
command of all the allied forces.

IS POLICY or OPEN SHOPPERS
BY CHARLES N. Hollow

BY Charles NJ. Kelley
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 20
| A charge most frequently made
against the workers is that "tney
won't stick The exploiting en-
ployer wants to believe that they
maintain a "dog-eat-dog' attitude
and can be relied upon to cut each
others Threats when the struggle for
existence becomes accumulated by
reason of unemployment or any
other condition that tends to reduce
the level of subsistence.
Perhaps there may have been some
basis for the Indictment in the past,
but if so. it is rapidly losing its
force, if it has not definitely been
laid on the shelf along with many
other popular misconceptions.
Faced with the greatest unemploy-
ment in the history of the nation.
driven and badgered by labor-hating
employers, confronted with all the
resources of the "open shop" crowd,
and trod upon by legislative bodies
amenable to the coercion and dicta-
zion of the employing class, the
workers at this particular moment
might be forgiven if they fell back
on natures first law and sought TO
preserve themselves at the expense
of their brethren who were making
similar fight to live.
No Scramble for Jobs
Dogs eat dogs only when they are
hungry Workers, the employers
thought, could be relied upon to in
dulge in a merry scramble for Jobs
if Jobs were made scarce. This wa.
the inspiration Of the "open shop
campaign. There was to be wide
spread unemployment, followed by
an attempt to cut wages ana
lcngthen hours.
The idea was to starve q few mil
lion men for few months and then
offer them a chance to scab on othel
workers for more 10 be put through
the starving process, preparatory to
calling upon them in turn to scab
upon those who were to get another
dose Of "deflation."
1t was q beautiful theory, but like
many theories, it didn't work out il
practice.
The workers prefer starving to
scabbing. as the records will show.
What Happened in New England
In New England textile worker
have for three months made brave
fight against starvation wages aad
back-breaking hours. They have tied
up the mills and they remain tied
up. A desperate effort has been
made to get strikebreakers, but they
are not to be had in sufficient num-
Der to make mill operation profitable
There are in New England more
than 100000 iobless men and women
They have been hungry for more
than a year The employer regarded
them as strikebreaking material, be
cause the employer never learns any
new ideas. He has his face to the
past and is ruled by tradition and
precedent. He cannot understand
that there is new social leavcn in

well was at one time considered dry,
but recent developments prove that
1t had only encountered a hard place

1t is now believed that the field
will extend west possibly clear up

up since the completion of the re-
