No Strike Policy
Sharp Decrease In Strikes
Is Noted During The
Past Yeur

New York City.-Reporting on five
years of steadily diminishing indus
trial strife, the state Mediation Boa rd
set forth its conviction that media
ton pays social dividends in the form
Of community peace and industrial
stability
Since July /. 1887, when the board
began its work, the State mediatOrs
have helped settle 3S3 strikes, invoiv
ing 2l0,DO0 workers. and have been
Instrumental in averting S2S other
walkouts that would have affected
$4,000 employees
The board gave special praise 10 the
leaders Of organized labor here for
their cooperation in maintaining Il no
strike policy since Pearl Harbor and
even before.
From the time this country entered
the war. IA sharp change occurred III
the industrial scene" the board re-
ported.
Strike rashes Immediately turned
to SpeckS,' the report observed. The
number of strikers and idle ulan-dayS
Of work became fractions and the sores
Of dual unionism and jurisdictional dis
puteS almost disappeared
To support its statement. the board
cited statistics on the decrease in the
number of strike cases and the in
crease in the number OF arbitration
cases since the beginning Of this year.
| In the first six months Of 1912 the
board 4 ctively interviewed in lO2
strikes, as against 223 in the same

Life Still Precious
(FrOm the New York TimeS)


A physicians glory is the number of
lives he has saved the number Of per-
sons he has restored to health. A naval
or military doctor in war time shares
that glory, but he has also to face the
fact that the men whose wounds or
illnesses he is able to cure may be
destined all the sooner for another
gamble with death.
President Roosevelt was evidently
thinking of this tragic irony when he
spoke at the dedication of the new
Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md.
1t is lesSened somewhat by the fact
which he pointed out, that "eXtradori-
nary physical alertness," which the
service doctors may help to build up
among recruits, is Il life-Saver in bat
tie. 1t is a life-saver at home, too. The
President spoke of 10000 persons killed
in automobile accidents last year, of
1920 killed in industrial accidents, of
100000 crippled, of a million and a
half injured, of 42,00O,OOO man-days
lost
If we were all as careful and con-
siderate as we ought to be these
CHASTITY totals could be reduced to frac-
tionS. We are committed to spending
lives for something more precious than
life. 1t is all the more our duty not
to spend them or risk them wantonly.
Characters never change. Opinions
alter. Characters are only developed.

Labor News From Britdin

Neither the Tue. nor any Of it's
affiliated unions can be said TO have
shown as yet any inclination to depart
from the official Trade Union view
that attempts to control upward wage
movements would b" "impracticable
and undesirable" The argument has
nevertheless been reOpcred
The Unions are not imperviOus to
reason. The Government itself has paid
tribute to the prudenc" and moderation
the unions have shown in pursuit of
their wage claims. They would, as the
Times" recognizes, probably react
strongly against Il general wage-stop;
but that is not to say that they would
have no constructive alternative to
offer if it becomes necessary 10 recon
slider the present method of regulating
wages.
Unions Many New Members
How Trade Union organization has
been affected by the mobilization of
man-pOwer for war production is vivid
ly illustrated by an appeal which the
acting general secretary of the big
Transport Workers Union (Arthur
Deakin) has just made 10 new entrants
to the Union. Since the war began up
wards of 100000 men and women, boys
and girls. have joined this Union. It's
aggregate membership now exceeds
100000.
In his appeal to these new entrants,
Arthur Deakin insists that they have
joined an organization which not mere
ly plays an important part in the regu-
latiOn of wages and working condi-
tons, but which is great instrument
, of social progress. In all the free coun-
tries, wherever Trade Unions exist,
they are making their contribution,
Arthur Deakin says, TO the improve
ment of human relationships. In Il
world once again in the travail and
havoc Of war, resulting in the devas-
| tatiOn of fertile lands and the infictOn
of great suffering on countless millions
of people, the Trade Union movement
stands out as great dynamic force
dedicated to the service of humanity,
striving and planning for the social
security Of all"
Railwaymen's Proposal
First of nearly seventy resolutions
on the preliminary agenda of the 74th
Annual Trades Union Congress. about
to be circulated to affiliated unions, is
a proposal from the Railwaymen 5
Union that the Tue. General Council
should institute an immediate and com
plete examination of existing Trade
Union structure.
The object of the survey, the Union
proposes, should be to ascertain where
overlapping and destructive compete
ton exist between Unions, where the
existing Trade Union structure is un
economic, and where Unions within ar
industry are pursuing diverse policies
This is not the only resolution which
is likely to give rise to lively discussion
at the Congress, which opened AT
BlackpOOl on the first Monday il
September but it is one of many
indications that the Trade Union exc
cutive are thinking seriously of the
problems that await their attention
when the war comes to an end.

Birdie Is

Young, loo
She Does NOT Know About
Life, But Just Read
Story Anyway
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, April 23-As the
door of the jug clanked behind
Birdie a matron placed her hand
upon the shoulder and said, Don't
worry, dearIe. YOU'RE young. What
do you know about life snyway?"
What did she know about life?
Just this:
At eighteen Birdie was the
mother of a two-year -old son, sep
arated from her husband, singing
hash in a dockside restaurant. She
earned IS week and tips.
One day a truck driver came in
Tor some pie. They became conf
Dental My names Birdie" she
told him Whats yours?"
Joe"
Il used to know man named
ice. He's a rat. l married him"
Joe looked at her closely and
liked what he saw "I'll be waitin'
for you when you get off tonight"
he said
Later, as Birdie explained it
to the Judge, she and Joe saw a
lot OF each other They went every
where together and she was crazy
about him. One day he piled her
into his car and started for Philly
Just to have little fun but on the
way there truck ran out of side
street and when they cleared all
the wreckage away Joe was very
dead
Birdie got her old job back at the
restaurant and was there just six
weeks when another truck driver
named Larry, dropped in for some
coffee. They chatted informally
Later, when it was time for her to
60 home he was waiting for her in
his car. They took a long ride in
the country The next night they
went to a movie. After that they
went steady"
One day he said, kid, we could
lose ourselves in this town. Lemme

take you outa that greasy joint
you're in. Okay?'
SO Birdie left the baby with her
mother; she and Larry changed
their names and went to live in a
room not far from Lincoln Tunnel.
1t was lot of fun for the first
ten days. Larry didn't work much
at his truck driving job but then he
seemed to have plenty of money.
Birdie asked him about it one
day. You make more dough than
any driver I ever saw. How do
you do it?"
That's for me TO worry about,
Baby. Be ready when 1 come home
tonight. I'll have a new car and
Well have some fun"
But Larry never came back. He
turned into one-way street
against traffic, and at the police
station, where the cop took him.
they doubted that his name was
really Larry. You look like a guy
named Blackie who's wanted for 6
series of drugstore holdups."
