Washington, Feb. 17— President Wilson has telegraphed William L. 1 Hutcheson, general president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join- ers, that he can see nothing to be gained by conferring ‘with him per- sonally about the strike of ship yard carpenters until he has accépted and acted upon the principle that in the pregent circumstances of the mation, dy of men has the right to strike until every other method of adjust- ment has been tried to the limi { “If you do not act upen this prin- iple,” said the president’s ‘message, “you are undoubtedly giving aid and comfort to the enemy, whatever may be your own conscious purpose.” The president's message was sent in reply to one received vesterday from HutcheSon sayjng he had been unable to reach an understanding with officials of the shipping board, but felt that if given'an opportunity to place the situation before the presi- dent a solution' gould be arriveq at | auickly.

TRIKING SHIP CARPENTERS ORDERED BACK TO WORK \By President Hutcheson and Brother- * hood Officials. New York, Feb. 17— President Hut- cheson and his staff of brotherhood. of- ficials telephoned to all ‘local officials ‘of the striking carpenters and joiners, askjng them to have the men undet their jurisdicfion back at work tomor- |row, and wired uhion officials in Bal- timore and other places where, carpen- ers have dropped their work on ships, hat he wanted the wish of the presi- {dent’.of the United States complied with immediately. Mr. Hutcheson refused to make any comment. T. L. Guerin, executive committeeman, said he was _entirely confident that the great majority of the strikers would be back atswork by noon and that the strike would be en- tirely at an end by night. The agreement was President Hut- cheson said he was powerlé®s to sien is one which would bind the carpen- ters and joiners to acceptrthe award of the adjustment board and continue at work regardless of the findings. Ever since the strike started, week before last, Mr. Hutcheson has denied that he had countenanced the action of the men, and he insisted that their ac- tion in striking was_in the nature of & rebellion against his authority, Committeeman Guerin said: “The situation has . been entirely changed by the telesram from the president. The workmen who have been striking for a hearing for their grievances will now feel sure that they will get it.” LONG ISLAND SOUND ward to Their Destinatign.
