His shot did “hit the mark.” Announcement that the Building Trades Section of the American Wederation of Labor has called off all strikes affecting Government work in shipyards, munition plants and other war industries is proof Uist orgenized Iabor in tho United States is able to grasp the force @f the President's argument that only by uninterrupted, unceasing co-| operation of the nation’s productive forces oan the maximum of its) fighting power be attained, “Labor recognizes, moreover, that it is in every way better and more safely American to co- -operate with the Government than to be controlled by the Government, | “The action of the Building Trades Section regarding war indus-" tries sets.an admirable example to workers in every industry upon! which the continued prosperity and enduring power of the country s If, however, labor deserves praise for its loyalty it also deserves Wthe assurance that both the Government and the sentiment of the American people look for and will insist upon a like loyalty from those who employ labor and profit by the distribution of its products.

To Alderman Robert L. Moran, Vice Chairman of the Board, ctl particularly to the efforts of Frank L. Dowling, its President, was) largely due the victory of yesterday which puts the city’s taxicab ordi- ngnce,on a completely comprehensive basis by compelling Ml vehicles ited as public hacks, from whatever point or points, to be fitted taximeters registering the legal rates, Thus the present ordinance, for which The Evening World fought tte Jong but successful fight, and which has emerged stronger than ever from every test, triumphs over the last insidious encomy that sought to undermine it. The citWasserts its full right to regulate and fix the tariff charges of all public hacks that operate within its limits. . ———-+--—_—_ | The Painleve Ministry may, have fallen, but its declaration for centralized war control subvives for France, as for her Allies, the biggest hope on the war horizon. ———————+ GET ON A GRANULATED BASIS.
