RALLIED TO PATRIOTIC DUTY
With. War Incentive, Co-Operation Be
tween Employers and Employees
Has Become More Marked-
Fair Principles Now Uni
versally Established.
By SAMUEL GOMPERS.
Labor’s great increase in strength is
evidenced whether wo measure it by
the growth in membership to mere
than two and a half millions, by the
great extension of industrial activities
in which onion scale’s and conditions
are obligatory, by the government’s
ever-lncreaslns recognition of organ
ized labor by the degree of soli
da lily.
It is no exaggeration l'1 say there
never has been in all labor history
'•vch n rapid extension of the princl
ples an practices of industrial demo
•rt'y as sin the United States was
forced to enter the world conflict.
And. mark this point—In every case
this extension has been made not to
impede ‘hi- n .tiof'-- war p»- partitions
hut to eceleis t. them by promoting
co-op-ration between employers and
labor. The Initiative in thi extension
of ile’.r.oc. acy to industry h: been tak
en by :.•« iSA-zed labor, but is v.dsdom
has in every instance ppm Jed to fed
eral officials.
In. four gi\. brni bes -shipbuild
ing. antonmeiii instruction, mercan
tile marine and ongshore work—
agreements have been perfected be
tween the government, th rmpiovers
and labor ’o safeguard even the un
orga »!f“il men Theso agreements
have ernme sanction because of
Rn ever-growing realization of the nec
essity nui only for industrial stability,
but for a proper standard of living as
the ba«t for efficiency.
Already th" eight-hour law for gov
ernment contracts has greatly ex
tended rhe eight-hour day, for in many
branches there Is hardly a flrm not
working on government contract.
Although many srablishrcent are
now .Torbing nine or ten hours, the
basic eight-hour day Is in effect and
the payment of time and a half for
overtime beyond eight hours is a suffi
cient chock on the employment of men
more than eight bonrs, except in cases
of genuine emergency etmh as the pres
ent
I tredie. he war’s end will find the
e’ght-hour day practically universal in
Americau Industry, as the result not of.
an?’ spectacular “general strike,” but
of the recognition, nt the insistance of
organized labor, that in the Ion' run
more end better work can be produced
in eight hours than in any longer pe
riod.
There is a rapidly growing recogni
tion that workers are the true basis of
national strength. If labor's hand is
not strong, skillful and willing not a
ship will sail, not a gun will roar.
Through this recognition labor will as
sume a new status in the nation’s
councils.
Rome of our American ‘'bolshevik!”
of the Socialist party, of the so-called
People’s council and other similar ir
responsibles, undertook a campaign to
swerve American labor from the
standard of loyally to self and cniin
ry.
Their futll efforts have only dem
onstrated that among al! the millions
American workers there were only
handful mean or silly enough to join
:he traitorous plan.
It annct too often be emphasized
that American v. irkinginen are on
corned in this gr-at struggle not only
ns Americans, but ns workers. They
,nusi help destroy Hohenzollernism, not
uily because it rnnaced America and
'em' r’acy but 1 peause :he workers
mere than any other ciass stand to
suffer by the triumph of Prussianlsm.
To the capitalist it need matter lit
in what ountry he lives, his
wealth exalts him above the laws and
political government of any country.
With the worker the existence of a
military absolutism is of daily con
cern Whether he is th slavo of the
fate, as In Prussia, or whether the
-date ?s his servant, determines his
whole existence. Therefore labor has
mobilized for an early and lasting
pOfie.',
I: must be recognized, however, that
r.hf.r’s unswerving loyalty is not main
alned without sacrifice. Not only
have the men of labor gone forth as
soldiers, not only have they redoubled
heir efforts in mine and factory, but
ihe same time they’ have had to see
their families suffer through price in
creases far beyond any Increase in
their earnings. Already the standard
of thing has been reduced far below
what is necessary to maintain their
energy unimpaired. All this labor has
borne with wonderful patience.
The toilers of America are willing to
mat. sacrifices, but they must be sac
rifices for the republic and not for pri
vate profit.
Labor is with the government in thk
war because we know the government
is with labor to a degree surpassing
any oilier administration. We be
ll..we, aye we know, that the wise,
good-hearted man in the White House
will a .. endure abuses, but will de
sernd upon the war profiteers and put
an I'ctd to their pernicious practices.
JAILER’S LIFE IS

oner Who Had Overpowered
Her Husband.
Hopkinsville, Ky.—Bravery of Mrs.
Annie Mullen, wife of Jailer A. E.

saved the life of her husband.

a revolver or other weapon, she ran
to his assistance. She arrived in
time to seize one of the negroes as hi’
was walking through ihe door lead
ing from th- cell room into a hall
way, from which his escape to the
outside would have been easy.
Without waiting to consider the pos
sible results. Mrs. Mullen seized the
fellow, a strapping six-footer, by the
collar, twisted him around, gave him a
push and a kick that sent him head
long across a narrow corridor to his
knot and safely inside the steel cage
where the prisoners are kept.
The other two negroes, who had
dragged Mr. Mullen well inside the
cage, loosened their grip and slunk
into their cells. No opposition was of
fered at all as th steel doors were
locked.
There were 12 negroes in the cage
at the time, but only the three took
part in the attack upon the jailer. Of
the three negroes engaged in the at
tack upon the jailer two are charged
with murder and the other with felon
ious assault.

Parent Unable to Say Which of Two
Sons .Should Join Army and Which
Should Stay at Heme.
Cleveland.—John Stotz, a farmer re
siding in Huron county, Ohio, ap
peared before the district draft exemp
tion board in Cleveland and asked that
one of his two sons be relieved from
military service in order that he might
assist in the cultivation of 149 acres
of land. Members of the board sug
gested that Stotz name the lad to be
favored but he declared he could never
look their mother in the face if he
picked either of them.
When Stotz could not make a deci
sion, the board chose the youngest.
Edward, aged twenty-two years, and
sent the older, Robert, aged twenty
five, home with his father.

THE FUTURE
Have you ever thought seriously of how you were
going io fare when your ability to earn a livelihood has
been impaired to the point where you were no longer
capable of earning enough to keep yourself and family?
It’s very important to you, especially if you are a young
man. Many an old couple have been saved the disgrace
of having to depend upon their friends by preparing for
their older days by making investments in municipal
bonds that yield a good income 5^ and 6 percent
There is nothing that is so sound as good municipal
bonds such as the ones that are being sold bv D. H. Pigg
