Victories Are Achieved
On Greatest Front Ever.
Victories, such as the world
has so far never experienced,
were achieved, thanks to the
leadership and the gallantry OF
officers and men.
Thus, the greatest military

the Black Sea, from the snow

hour of the final annihilation Of
the most dangerous enemy of all

If the German people should
all desire to give their soldiers
a Christmas present, then they
should do without all articles of
warm clothing which they can
spare during the war, and which
can at any time be replaced
again in peace.
For whatever the command OF
the German forces, and Of their
various branches have placed in
readiness. every soldier would de-
serve even more. The other Ger

The soldiers on the eastern front,
will therefore realize that the

they are fighting is no empty

the necessary machinery. and the
principles to govern, can be set
up either through legislation or
through executive order.
The conference is reported to
have been "deadlOcked' because OF
disagreement over the closed or
open union shop question, and to
have taken a recess until 10 am.
tomorrow when it will resume its
meetings. In the meantime, COM
mittees of the conference are at
work, in the hope of ironing out
differences that have arisen.
Industry, it is reported, is afraid
to agree to abide by decisions
handed down by an arbitral board
or boards, because of what has hap
pened in the recent past-especial-
ly the decision of the Presidents
board which arbitrated the union
shop issue in the captive coal mines
and acceded to the C. I. o. demand
despite the fact that the National
Defense Mediation Board had ruled
against union shop.
The representatives of labor at
the labor management conference
have declared a willingness to give
up the strike as weapon during
the period of the war provided union
and closed shop issues are set
tied by conciliation, mediation and
arbitration. The representatives Of
industry are willing TO accept con-
ciliation and mediation, but unWill-
ing to accept hard and fast ar
bitration OF the closed shop issue

en- who work to Join q union,
whether they wanted to or not.
When the National War Labor
Board was set up by President Will
son in 1918, it was after set OF
principles had been agreed to by
representatives of labor and manage
ment. This set Of principles set forth
that in enterprises where the union
shop" existed it should continue, and
union standards as to wages and
working conditions should be main
tanned. In open shops where union
and non-union men worked to-
gether, it was stated that the con-
not be deemed a grievance, and
taken to the National War Labor
Board as such. This declaration it
was made plain was not intended
to prohibit efforts to unionize such
shops. Presumably management
would agree to such plan now.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas, whose bill to authorize the
President to seize struck plants and
to freeze" open and closed shop
conditions existing therein has been
reported to the Senate from the
Judiciary Committee, said when
questioned about the apparent dead
lock in the Labor Management
Board:
My view is that the necessity for
the passage of my bill still exists,
regardless of the outcome of the
present conferences. The United
States cannot conduct this war un-
less it has assurance the plants are
going to continue to operate. The
freezing provision of the bill will
prevent strikes and keep the plants
going
Labor representatives say they do
not intend to strike. If that is true
my bill will not touch them at all.
1t is only when strike delays or
lmpedes production that my bill be-
comes effective. l am unwilling to
draft men and send them to the
battle line and have them dependent
on some little autocrat, as to Wheth-
er he will order a strike in a de-
tense plant.
Il intend to press for action on
my bill as soon as possible"
Senator Connally said this would
probably be after the first of the
year.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
neSota, author of the cooling of -
period bill now reported by the
Labor Committee, also said he be-
lieved legislation should be enacted
no matter what the Presidents
board decided.
