Stimson Says Force
Could Be Found for
AI|is-ChaImers Plant
Mediation Conferees
Moy Be Reminded of
Possibility Tomorrow

When representatives of employees
and employers at the strike-bound
Allis- Chalmers plant meet here to-
morrow morning at a National De-
fense Mediation Board hearing on
their old dispute, now in its 18th
week, they may be reminded of
Secretary Of War Stimson's state
ment yesterday that the War De-
partment is equipped" to operate
such a plant, if necessary.
Mr.. Stimson, in response to ques-
tionS at a press conference about
the Chalmers situation, said he
had IAN idea we could find force
right nearby" (to operate the
planD.
While he made no direct threat
that the Government would take
over the Milwaukee concern, which
makes machinery vital to destroyers
and other defense weapons, the
Secretary of War asserted
The patience of Uncle Sam is
very long, and rightly so, for the
power of Uncle Sam is so great it
ought to be used very carefully.
But nobody makes a greater mis-
take than to conStrue Uncle Sans
patience for weakness"
Cites Pullman Intervention.
He cited the intervention of Fed
eral troops in the 1894 Pullman strike
over the protests of Eugene V. Debs
and Gov. Altgeld of Illinois, as an
example of possible forceful action.
Then he went on to quote a jingle
written at that time by Henry Wat
terson, editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal:
Nov don't you try it, Mr.. Debs,
Don't tackle Uncle Sam,
"Ten thousand Johnny Rebs,
Can tell you that project, Debs,
"Ain't worth a tinker's dam"
Wants Home Guards.
Secretary Stimson also asserted
that the appeal for Federal aid in
the Allis-Chalmers strike, made by
Gov. He'll of Wisconsin, underscored
a need for immediate formation of
home guards in the States to take
the place of National Guardsmen
in Federal service.
Declaring that the Mediation
Board was starting fresh" on the
case, C. A. Dykstra, board chairman,
said he and his colleagues felt free
to act in any way" they thought
would best meet a given situation.
He appointed five-member panel
to deal with the case. 1t consisted of
William H. Davis, representing the
public, who will act as chairman;
Cyrus Ching and Eugene Meyer,
representing management, and
Thomas Kennedy and Robert Watt,
representing employees. Mr.. Watt
was designated a substitute for
George Meany, board member in
California on business.
