THE GREATEST DAILY CIRCULATION OF SASED WIRK SPRVICR PRESS ASSOCIATIONS VOLUME 19 SEATTLE, WASH., UNIT GE RMANS LOSE BLOODY Open Letter Addressed to Secretary of Labor Wilson Almost at the very moment of your arrival in this city, as head of President Wilson’s mediation board to settle the telephone and lumber labor dif- ficulties here, 150 lumbermen of the Northwest passed a resolution in the Washington hotel asking for United States troops to work in their camps and their mills, This means the commandeering of labor! Perhaps that is the only way to get sufficient en to handle the lumber needed for ship and aeroplane construction. They are asking Secretary of War Baker to ac- cept this proposition on “high grounds of patriot- ism.” They, the lumbermen, promise Baker their ‘“‘sin- cere co-operation.” Soon 1 will meet with the 150, Mr. Secretary of Labor. “You will hear their “patriotic” over again. But remember thi While their “patriotism” permits them to ask so radical a measure as the commandeer- ing of labor—for that is what the employ- ment of troops in the lumber industry means —they were not patriotic enough to accept Secretary of War Baker's request last sum- er for an eight-hour day and fair wages. Had they done so, the shortage they now com- plain of might not have been acute. This commandeering of labor, Mr. Secretary of Labor, is a serious proposition. It may be neces- sary. And when it is n not pawnbroker, pr accept the verdict. But that would be justified only if the govern- ment also commandeered the lumber camps and mills as well as the workers.
