(Established 1873) 5.00 | A WAR BOARD OR JUST | WILL IT BE ANOTHER WIND BOARD? On top of the tremendous victory of the pack- ers’ employes, who win their basic 8-hour day and! AO per cent increase in wages, comes a government movement that’s of the very highest importance to workers everywhere throughout the nation. { For over a month, a commission, consisting of six representatives of labor, six of capital and ex-| President Taft and frank P. Walsh, representing | the public, has been working on a plan under which to deal with “industrial disturbances” affecting! the production of war necessaries, and Secretary | of Labor Wilson announces the program. | There shall be a “National War Labor Board,” | composed as was the body above mentioned, to-! gether with subsidiary local boards to deal imme-| diately with local controversies. | The principles and policies to govern workers | and employers are to be as follows, and we ask every labor and capitalist reader in our lists to| study them seriously: There shall be no strikes or lock-outs during: the war. | Right of workers or employers to organize inj unions or associations and to bargain collectively is recognized and affirmed. | Employers shall not. discharge workers for! their unionism, nor shall workers exercise coer- cive measures to induce persons to join their or- ganizations. Union shops shall continue such, under the union standard as to wages, hours, etc. Continu-| ance of the “open shop” sy established “shall not be deemed 'a grievance.” | Equal pay for equal work by women. | Kight-hour day in cases where existing law| requires it. In other cases, the hours to be fixed | with due regard to government’s war. necessities and the welfare, health and proper comfort of the workers. : Maximum production in all war industries shall be maintained. “The right of all workers, including common laborers, to a living wage is hereby declared.” “In fixing wages, minimum rates of pay shall be established which will insure the subsistence of the worker and his family in health and reason- | able comfort.” | , We contidently believe that, while this plan does not concede all that organized labor wants or has struggled for, it is the fairest, most advan- tageous offer yet made to labor, in this wartime emergency. We state this for the reason that we} are going to express an adscititious opinion to the! effect that neither this fine program nor any | other of merit will get anywhere without full gov- ernmental authority to enforce its provisions. It} is proposed that this National War Labor Board’s functions and powers shall be: | * “To bring about a settlement by mediation and conciliation of every controversy,” ete. | Mediation and conciliation are all right but they are slow and often utter failures. What is our most precious thing, at this crisi: Not more plans, not more conferences, not more | soldiers, cr arms, or war food. But, Time, time, TIME! We rob and outrage imperiled civilization every | time we waste an hour. Any plan that does not bear with it power of prompt execution'is a deadly risk that we arrive at Armageddon only to find! our glorious cause a bloody corpse. Involved in all industrial controversies are three parties—the worker, the employer and the public. In this war emergency, the public—the country as a whole—must come first. It isn’t a matter of unionism, or of capitalism, | or of any other ism, save patriotism. Our national existence as a free country is at stake, and, if we waste time and handle our prob- lems with kid gloves, we'll go under, and with us all the possessions and demands that either union- | ism or capitalism ever got or hoped for. A strike | | | ‘position of the Germans. ystem where such is now |, | WITH THE EDITORS cadiew the upner grades in our pub- lic schools or our high school, I feel’ _._ three or two, and perhaps two to one, what the} .u.pe.c4 .0 enter a most earnest pro- allies have lost in man-power. The captured can- non are of no particular use to the Germans except as trophies. The allies were supposed to have ample reserves of cannon, so they are not handi-; capped by the loss. The Germans were getting further away from their sources of supply—20, 25 and 30 miles. The route for re-supplying was; over ground which is pretty badly shot up and! where the retreating English tore the roads to pieces and destroyed their light railroads, and where the fields were encumbered with the killed 00 and wounded. On the other hand, the allies, and particularly the English, were further back toward | their big depots of food, arms and ammunition. The first ten days of fighting improved the position of the allies and made more difficult the It used up much of the, attacking reserve of the Germans without appar-) ently making important withdrawals from the at-, tacking reserve of the allies. It placed a presum-' ably exhausted German army far away from de- pots of supplies and in the midst of a torn and shell-riddled territory, exposed to attacks on the flanks as well as in front. ° Granted that the Germans did not extend their control of the Channel coast, and that they did not! break through the allied lines, then the further the Germans moved forward from Arras to Noyon, the worse the situation for the German army would become. Pe Germany chose the time and the place to strike. | It is inconceivable that Italy or France should drop out of the war, for any reason. Failing that, the condition can never be as favorable to Germany again as it was on March 2lst. If she fails now, she fails forever, no matter how long the war may be prolonged. “I don’t mind rye flour waffles and dough- jnuts,” postcards T. E.

In this neighborhood they’re being taken | away from us. ‘ \ “The most patriotic man I know,” writes H. F. >, “is the paperhanger who was at our home last | week. He made the paste of cornmeal with rye: flour as a binder.” 2 of Lords nas approved a bill giving women the right to practice law. This is a strange world. A woman in Great Britain has the! right to work as a machinist, or carpenter, or ship- builder, or to engage in any other useful occupa- tion, but it takes a special law to give her the right | to make a living producing nothing useful. j Poocceeweenene. eer ecece: MAYO VS. SENATORS When the loose-tongued Senator Chamberlain and the impudent Senator Hitchcock used their high offices to get the stories in the newspapers about the terrible conditions, the illness and death rate in our army camps, they little imagined what statistics and what authorities would be produced to repudiate them. Dr. Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., known to thousands of Montanans by reputation at least, and his institution to hundreds pergon- aly, testified before the senate military committee the other day. The doctor has given up his im- mense surgical practice to serve:in the United States army as a surgeon-major on a salary of; $3,000 per annum. That Dr. Mayo knows what he is talking about when he discusses the physical well-being of the army, few people will have the audacity to deny. Testifying before this committee of which Sena- tors Hitchcock and Chamberlain are members, the Rochester surgeon stated that prior to the en- trance of the United States into this war, the Japa- nese army, assembled in preparation for the' Rus- sian-Japanese war, was the most carefully pre- pared and best cared for army in the point of! health, sanitation and physical well-being that had ever assembled in the world. or a lockout in the forests of Oregon or the mines | of Arizona means waste of precious time all along| the industrial line, clear to the blows of the rivet- ers in the Norfolk or Hog Island shipyards, ° No strikes or lockouts, says this War’ Labor} Board plan. Very good. If such come and media-| tion fails to promptly adjust matters, let the gov-| ernment commandeer the guilty concern, from din- ner pails to office furniture! Since labor, capital and public agree on this War Labor Board, it should have power to act promptly, decisively and efficiently. : | FIRST TEN DAYS OF DRIVE | Maybe you used to do a good deal of fishing, in| the days when you were young and fish plenty. Remember the first time you hooked a 4-lb. bass at the end of your new braided silk line? Didn't} that old small-mouth just grab and skip out! You let your reel sing for a while, until the first. dash’ and added some pressure with your thumb.

Asked as to the death rate, Dr. Mayo said that during the time the Japanese army was being assembled, equipped, trained and drilled in its camps and cantonments, the death rate was twenty to the thousand, the lowest ever in the The senate committee showed some interest in The next question brought the statement from Dr. | Mayo, backed by official figures, that the death rate in our cantonments and training caine last winter, during the worst weather, at its highest, was less than ten per thousand. Thus, our record in taking care of the boys is before. As a matter of fact the dath rate ir our cantonments .and training camps at the worst per was a fraction over eight to the thousand. it is now only a trifle over six to the thousand. This should forever set at rest those who be- lieve the government ia neglecting the boys in the camps. It should smother the pro-German lies and test against the proposed dances in our high school ouilding The high school building belongs to all of us in a sense and I think it un- fair for a number of citizens to bring pressure to bear upon our school beard to turn over the schoo) property for purposes which ‘are obnoxious to another set of citizens.
