PRESIDENT FIFM FOR LABOR LAWS
j» OPPOSES ANY MOVEMENT TO BREAK DOWN STANDARDS
RESULT WOULD BE HARMFUL
Hmr
Experience* of England Prove
That Overwork Resulted In a Sacri
fice of Labor Power—Overtime and
8even Day Week Useless Expenditure
of Energy.
Declaring that "nothing would be
more deplorable" than Betting aside
"even temporarily the laws whic'i have
safeguarded standards of labor and of
life," President Wilson recently placed
himself squarely in opposition to the
movement to break down labor laws
as a wartime emergency measure.
Speaking at the White House to the
members of the labor committee of the
Council of National Defense, the presi
dent said in part:
"I have been very much alarmed at
jne or two things that" have happened
—at the apparent inclination of the leg
islature of one or two of our states to
set aside even temporarily the laws
which have safeguarded standards of
labor and of life. I think nothing
would be more deploratftc than that.
We are trying to fight in a cause which
means the lifting of the standards of
life, and we can tight In that cause
best by voluntary co-operation. I do
not doubt that any body of men repre
senting labor In this country, speaking
for their fellows, will be willing to
make any sacrifice that is necessary in
order to carry this contest to a suc
cessful issue, and in that confidence I
feel that it would be inexcusable if we
deprived men and women of such a
spirit of any of the existing safeguards
of law. Therefore 1 shall exercise my
influence so far as it goes to see that
that does not happen and that the sac
rifices we make shall be made volun
tarily and not under the compulsion
which mistakenly is interpreted to
mean a lowering of the standards
which we have sought through so many
generations to bring to their present
level."
Later in the day, at a meeting of the
committee at the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor, British
labor men, members of the commission
recently sent to this country by their
government, out of their own experi
ence in two and a half years of war
gave expression to similar views.
James II. Thomas, member of parlia
ment and general secretary of the Na
tional Union of Hallway Men of Great
Britain and Ireland, said:
"One of the mistakes that we made
in the war was to forget the human
side. At the beginning of the war
some of our people worked 100, 110
and even 120 hours a week. They
worked seven days a week, too, with
never a day of rest. Then they began
to get worn out, and conditions became
alarming. Now we have gone back to
Sunday r&st and Saturday half holiday,
and overtime has been reduced. If
you're going to have a long war you
can't alTord to sacrifice labor power."
In answer to a question Mr. Thomas
said, "With all the great resources of
the United States, serious as is the con
dition of the allies, I cannot conceive
of the wifining of the war to be depend
ent on the breakdown of the child labor
laws of this country." A war so won
would be lost, he said. tuse it would
mean the sacrifice of future genera
tions.
The Committee on Labor of. the Coun
cil of National Defense had been called
together by its chairman, Mr. Gompers,
for the purpose of meeting the British
labor men, Mr. Thomas and Charles II.
Bowerman, also a member of parlia
ment and secretary of the British Trade
Union congress, and a similar delega
tion from Canada led by J. C. Watters,
president of the Canadian Trades and
Labor congress.
The British delegates reviewed brifly
the experience of labor under war con
ditions. They expressed themselves
vigorously In opposition to overtime,
seven day labor and the employment of
Children. While there was a demand
for the breakdown of child labor laws
at the beginning of the war there was
little yielding to these demands, and at
tendance at school has not been inter
fered with in the least.
Wherever women are eniployed-*~and
according to Mr. Thomas there are
about 1,250,000 of them at work who
never were engaged in industry before
—the principle of equal pay for equal
work is rigidly enforced. In the print
ing industry no woman can be employ
ed so long as men are available.—The

a report made i.» the State industrial
Commission b\ nl"*!epu(y Commis

During that period there were 328
strikes reported, involving directly 222,
325 persons, who lost. 8,11-1,IMS days,
and indirectly 31,020 persons who were
thrown out of employment for 1,460,
725 days, Making a total of 0,581,1(«

not become widely prevalent until the
period from 1NS8 to 1803, when there
was a great number of important
strikes in the United States and Can

great strikes, including the one at
Homestead, Pa., and two railway
strikes. Fully 100,000 men were affect

CLIMBING TO SUCCESS.
Advice to Young Men Who Want to
Get Ahead In Business,
President Bedford of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey has him
self traveled unaided every step of the
way from the valley of obscurity to
the summit of success. I asked Mr.
Bedford to tell some of the things he
had learned during his Journey, to give
some suggestions or pointers for the
guidance of other climbers.
"Well," he began, "my advice to
every young man would be this:
"Do everything you are told- and do
It with all your heart and strength—
willingly, cheerfully and enthusiastic
ally, and then look around for more
work to do.
"Don't measure your work by hours,
but by what it is possible for you to
accomplish from the time you enter in
the morning- and be early rather than
late—until the place closes in the even
ing, and don't quit the moment the
place officially closes If there Is work
still to be done.
"Read and study and think along
the lines of your business. Learn
what it is all about, what service It
contributes to making the world go
round more comfortably and efficient
ly. Cultivate the habit of looking
ahead, of acquiring as much foresight
as possible. Have imagination and
vision.
"Then try to plan out your life, to
map out a course consider and calcu
late the steps necessary to carry you
toward your goal, go forward step by
step—and don't get your sequences
mixed. Do one thing at a time. If
your job at the moment Is to keep
books master bookkeeping thoroughly
and study the fundamentals of ac
countancy don't, merely keep your
books mechanically. From accountan
cy go on to study finance, and this
will help to open other doors. Or if a
man starts in u manufacturing depart
ment let him i master that depart
ment and then learn all there is to be
learned about other departments.
Thus will he become familiar with the
whole process of manufacture.
"His next step would be to learn the
outlets aud the uses for his manufac
ture—the market for his product. By
studying it aud how much his mar
.i\e or will not take he be

Refuses Dutch Proposal For La
bor Congress at Stockholm.
BERLIN BLAMED FOR MOVE
Amerioan Federation of Labor Officials
Believe Plan Was Originated at Be
hest of the German Government.
Conference Called Without Consulta
tion With American Union*.
Having failed in their efforts to get
representative Socialists from the Unit
ed States, Great Britain aud France
to attend the "peace" conference to be
held in Stockholm in June, the pro
German promoters of the plan have
taken a new tack.
A labor union conference has been
called to be held at Stockholm at the
same time. The so called international
labor conference, like the proposed So
cialist conference, is to discuss sub
jects related to peace.
The labor conference was called with
out any consultation whatever with
American labor unions. Although its
official Inception appears to have taken
place In Holland, there is a strong sus
picion In the minds of American labor
leaders that it actually originated hi
Berlin and that Scheidemann, the Ger
man Socialist leader, had a leading
part In the movement. As a result of
tills suspicion the American Federa
tion of Labor has turned down flatly
a request i» send delegates to the meet
ing.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of I^abor, on May
24 received the following invitation,
cabled from Amsterdam:
I am charged by tho International Fed
eration of Trade Unions to Invite you to
assist at an international congress of
trado union centers, which ia to be held In
Stockholm Fulkshus on June a. Agendo,
discussion and establishment of claims of
trado unionists at peace negotiations. I

OTTDEQEBST.
Mr. Gompers promptly cabled the
following reply:
"Long before United Slates entered
the war American Federation of La
bor proposed an iuternatlonal confer
ence after the war and at tho time and
place where the representatives of etlch
government were to meet to determine
the treaties and international relations.
That proposition was rejected.
"Now after United States is In the
war you propose a conference be held
In Stockholm at same time and place
when the so called International So
cialist conference is to be held at
Stockholm, and this proposition, too,
without consultation with trado union
centers of
United
Suites and other
countries.
"There is no time by which American
organized labor could select delegates
to attend the Stockholm conference,
June 8, and cannus see how any good
could come from --r participation In
such a congress at this time."
It was explained at the state depart
ment that the Logan act would not be
Invoked against attending con
ventions, either v. mis country or
abroad, where the abstract question of
peace after the war, hut having nothing
to do with the tinal terms of ieace of
the present war, is discussed.
Passports will not be denied to per
sons desiring to go abroad to attend
and participate in su/h conventions.
The reason the government was with
holding pasi j"r I-. :he American So
cialists elec i 1 i- resent this coun
try's Socialist pursy at the Stockholm
conference was btcause, It was deciar
ed, information had been obtained which
indicated that some of the delegates
were acting as the agents of their re
spective governments. Those agents
were believed to be German aud Aus

UNION WISDOM.
If there
Is to
be unity of labor,
it the full strength of labor is to
bo realized and the workers are
to receive the greatest benefits
through co-operative effort and
concerted action, there must be
no warring factions. t»
The union label represents «S»
united labor and is effective to «3»
the extent that labor is united
and does Its duty. If there were
no warring factions the union
label would be much more pow
erful than It Is today. It has
done much for the i-auso of lar
bor, but stands ready to do
thrice or ten times more when
ever the workers get ready to
drop their petty Internal strife
and get together once and for 4
all in unity. 4
Remember your povror as pur
chasers is your strongest weap
on. Patronize all union labels.
LABEL LEAGUE.
The purposes of the Label
league are to weld into closer
relationship the local unions and
union made goods and that they
may have greater influence In
the settlement of any disputes,
to make It possible for the aliil
lated locals to co-operate in the
extension of organization to
deal with measures relating to
union and nonunion made goods
to give an opportunity for har
monlous co-operation of the
wage workers In the defeat of
men or measures antagonistic to
organized labor or the public In
general to support men or meas
ures politically that are of ad
vantage to the labor movement

MARK OF FAIR DEALING.
Demand That Merchants Show Union
Label Before Buying Good*.
It is now the time of year when we
must be rebuilt as to our wearing ap
parel.
For as much as we may dread it, a
change of season is encroaching upon
us, aud we must shed our older wears
and invest in new ones commensurate
with the changing temperature and
our purchasing powers.
But we've got to get them, and
whether for the head, feet or other
body coverings we've an opportunity
available to do the fair thing toward
those who have obtained fair condi
tions under which they work while
shaping and making these multitu
dinous articles of wearing goods.
Those who make these lines of neces
sary apparel are waging a constant
struggle to keep the union label there
on and representative of the nearest
approach to equitable work conditions
obtained by those whose minds and
hands design and make them.
They ask of us, who are also con
stantly insisting upon the right to en
joyment of union conditions, that we
play fair with them to the extent of
practicing good union consistency and
always make It our business to Insist
that the union label representative of
the craft making the article is visible
upon them.
They are quite within their bounds
of propriety when reminding us of
this matter, and we are very much
astride the union labor ethics we hold
out before the l^bor world as being rep
resentatives of if we do not keep their
appeals in mind when making our In
vestments in these things.
This question is always in order, and
we should always make it the first or
der of business when in mercantile es
tablishments.
But just now it is especially so from
the fact of such a fight on part of fae
tories to have open shop (nonunion
shop) conditions prevail.
The only sure and permanent as
surance of maintaining humane work
ing environments in factories and
workshops is by a continual insistence
upon being shown the union label on
your purchases.
Let. us be firm in our insistence about
this matter, for it is right and just that
we do It.
Farmers to Blame.
Refusal of farmers to pay better
wages despite the high prices they re
ceive for their products Is held partly
responsible In a statement by fxuis
Post, assistant secretary of tfc? labor
department, for the present lack of
farm help. The demand for funn la
bor, Mr. Post says, must bo met large
ly by the employment 0? boys this
summer and by the release for short
periods of factory workers for harvest
ing crops. The department Is complet

reserve and is urging manufacturers
to let their employees co io the farina

A Few Suggestions on the Best Grip«
For Hands and Feet.
The importance of the general equip
ment of a golfer in all its details is
often overlooked, and it Is therefore
proposed to mentiou a few tilings to
be remembered. Perhaps the greatest
problems are t!i- i.est grips for the
hands and feet. far as the former
Is concerned, to many this is no trouble
at all, for they just rub some pitch or
wax on their grips and have no fur
ther difficulty, but there an- others
who canuot use either of tl. because
It makes the hands I taking
away much of the a- nc of the
game.
Something In the way of an alterna
tive to be recommended is rough rub
ber. One would Imagine that this ma
terial would wear the hands out sooner
than anything else, but this Is not the
case. There seems to be a prejudice
against wearing gloves for golf, but
they are really quite easy to play in,
although It takes a few weeks to
get thoroughly accustomed to them.
Gloves have the advantage of keeping
the hands warm, as well as preventing
them from becoming sore, cracked or
blistered.
A Arm gTip for the feet Is Just as
Important as a good grip for the hands.
It has been said that the ordinary
nails which are put in golf shoes are
not much good. Gymnasium shoes are
•uggested for dry weather, but are
practically useless if the ground be
comes at all wet It Is a great mistake
to play in gymnasium Bhoes or those
with no heels and then suddenly to
change to thick soled boots, for when
these have studs or nails fitted the
player stands quite an Inch higher. A
difference like this Is apt to alter the
game of any one considerably, and one
golfer who tried It sliced all his drives
until he got accustomed to his higher
pocdtlon.
