he had retired from hour mill

cause the dust bothered him.
He had followed the sea for
quite a few years before he had
retired to the flour mill bust
ness; and, with the war coming
up, his feet got itchy.
So, when there was an ex-
cursion train heading for Van

the next thing he knew he WASH

liner, Empress OF Asia, that had
been pressed into service as a
troop ship.
HAD AN ALIBI
Everything was fine until
they locked at Kingston, ia
maica where all the American
citizens except N. Riker we're
compelled to leave the ship.
Riker just happened to have
an alibi,
He'd been born in New
Brunswick province, Canada, at
the town of st. Johns and he
had been by the sea ever since
he'd been Weaned. Later he had
become a naturalized citizen of
the United States; Lat, when
they wouldn't take him into the
service during the World WarI
on account of his age, it made
him mad so he went out TO AL
berta SO he was just about sin
cere, anyhow, when he told the
skipper OF the Empires. that he
didn't know but what he d for
feitcd his citizenship in the
United States so that sending
him back to the States would
be sending him 10 a foreign
country.

declared, It's an international
problem So he went on to
Liverpool and then TO Cape
town and a few other places
with that ship. When the ship

MINED IN JANUARY
You see, the ship hit a mine
along the latter part Of Janu-
airy and while it didn't sink it
had to crawl back into Hobo
ken with its bow stove in but
with the bulkheads holding.
And N. Rlker was injured by
the blast.
SO that laid him n hos
pital in Jersey City for a spell
and then they told him to come
up here and see Billy where he
could recuperate for three
weeks.

Discharged
Workers Not
Barred From
Back Pay

Many workers have written the
National War Labor Board asking
whether they are entitled to back
pay if they have quit or been dis
charged after the retroactive date
of a wage increase by the WLB
but before the date on which the
order is put into effect. The Board
has resolved that in such cases
the employee shall receive the
amount of the increase up to the
date on which his employment
with the company involved was
terminated" But there is one i'm
portant condition: the employee
must make application for his in
crease to the company in writing
within sixty days after the date
of the Boards order in the case.
This 6O-day limitation does not
apply, however, to employees who
have become members of the arm
ed forces of the United States.
Let us take the typical case of
John Smith, employed by the
South Portland Shipbuilding Cor
poration. On August 81, let us
suppose, Smith left the yard to
take a job with another company.
On Nov. IL, the WLB directed a
schedule of wage increases at the
South Portland yards, retroactive
to May 4. Smith, therefore, is en-
titled to the wage increase from
May 4 to August 81. To get the
amount coming to him he must
file a written request with the
shipbuilding corporation no later
than Jan. 10, 1913 (6O days after
the Boards order). If Smith, how
ever, had quit to join the army
instead of to take another job, he
could apply for his back pay at
any time in the future.

Rich Against
Poor

Two parallel moves have recent
ly been started in Congress by
much the same elements-one to
raise the salaries of the highly
paid, and the other to cut the
wages of the low paid.
The same people who are de-
handing legislation to abolish the
$4,000 limit on salaries are also
calling for repeal of the wage
hour law, to cut the wages of
industrial workers by ending over
time rates.
All the old lying arguments
about the 40-hour week are being
trotted out again, despite their
exposure in the last campaign of
this character. The average work
week in all industry is now much
more than 40 hours, in war in
dustries it is 46 and 47 hours, and
the present law places no limita-
ton on working hours.
To cut the wages of war workers
at this time could only have a
demoralizing effect on our war
effort. And to couple this demand
with a demand for higher pay and
higher profits for the rich is Moth
ing short of treason to our ma
tional war unity.

the war without strong Unions?
We must see that the postwar
period does not follow the same
pattern as that of the last war.
With the signing of the Armis-
tice, there will come a CONVEX
sion, not only from war to civilian
production, but from Army back
to civilian life for millions of
American workers. Labor must
see that there are jobs for every
single one of these boys coming
back. America must continue to
60 forward. Labor must play a
part in this conversion. To play a
part, Labor must be organized.
MOI only must Labor be able
to find jobs, but Labor must be
in a strong position to fight the
efforts on the part of big business
attempt to lower wages and abol-
ish premium and overtime pay,
and many other privileges we now
enjoy, but big business will try
to destroy the Union through Ma
tional Legislation. Labor must
build today to win tomorrow.
In view of these facts it is the
duty of every official and mem
Der of this Local to redouble
their efforts to build a stronger
Union than ever, thereby secur-
ing for our boys in the armed
forces of our country the same
privileges we enjoy ourselves.
