He alone, they eny, refused to sign the agrea- mont entered into between labor and the Government last June, Conscription of labor alone will not folve the shipbullding problem, Sec- retary of Labor Wilson stated to-day. “I am opposed to drafting Inbor for work in private plants, regardless of whether these plants are working on Government contracts,” sald Wil- son, “Tho whole plant should be taken over by the Government be-| fore conscripting Inboi The Secretary sald no immediate action to end the strike of ahip car- penters at Now York ts planned by the Labor Department, but that he was “keeping In close touch with the situation.” He refused to oomment on the present necessity of the Government taking over the privately owned ehip yarde but emphasized that he be- Neved that steps should be taken be- fore efforte to force labor to work wore taken. Chairman Hurley has sent another ‘measage to William L. Hutcheson, President of the United Brother- hood of Carpentere and Jolnora, renewing his demand that striking | shipyard employees be e#ent back) to work pending an adjustment of their differences, Hoe eaid in part: “Yours of the 14th received. You were present at the convention of the American Voederation of Labor tn Buffalo on Friday, Nov. 3%, when, by ® unanimous vote, a resolution was passed stating that it is necessary to | the Nation's protection, a» well as to the welfare of the trade union move- | ment, that there should be no cessa- tien of work, except as a last resort ‘and after due hearings. He then tells of an agreement signed Aug. 20., and continu “Under this agreement @ board was established composed of @ representa- tive of the Navy Department and Emergency fFieet Corporation, a representative of organized labor ap- pointed by Mr. Gompers and the Chairman of the board appointed by the Prosident of the United States, ‘The agreement provided that all dis- putes as to wages, hours and con- ditions of employment should be sub- mitted to this board for settlement, ‘The official positions of the signers of this agreoment are « guarantee uf 8 fairness. “You are the only international President of all crafta working in the shipyards who has refused to become | ® party to this agreement Are the other international Presidents lows patriotic or less careful of the inter- ests of thelr crafts than yourself? “I do not question the patriotism of your members, and, in fact, have rea~ won to believe they are aa loyal as members of other organized crafts, “Will you ask the men now para- tyaing th- shipyards and the Nation's war programme to go back to their work and trust their Government, Yhrough the Labor Adjustment Board, to deal fairly with them as it has with every other group of workers? Will you help now when every day's “delay may mean the slaughter of our Dboys?” Presiden Gompers, according to “Shipping Board officials, is co-oper- aung with governmental agencies to effect a settiement of the problems that are pressing. Rumors of a break in the ranks of the employers, which could not be verified, had it that a small ehip r pairing concern at Edgewater, N. ad yielded to the demands of the hip carpenters and had taken back thelr striking employees at the rate of $6.60, wood hatled the news as indicative that other and larger plants would fall shortly into line, but there was 9 basis for this optimism that wae simooverabie. —— SHIP STRIKE ZONE COVERS NEWBURGH TO PERTH AMBOY; 10,000 ARE REPORTED OUT sweeps Along Seaboard S$.

L. iutoheson of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, at the Continental Ho- tel headquarters, reosived unoffictal word of the conference at Washing- ton between Assintadt Becretary of | the Navy Roonevolt, Chairman Macey ond Piese of the Wage Adjustment | Committee and profeased to neo hops for & peacabie sottlement in tho meeting. “Now that Secretary Daniels and ‘his aasietante have taken a hand, wo'll show the Shipping Board some- thing,” was the comment of T. M. Guerin, national organiser of tho brotherhood, Hutcheson reveaied to-day how Chairman Macey had “turned down cold" the former's proposal, made to him in Washington yesterday, that the Hrotherhood should have a mem- ber alt on the Wage Adjustment Com- mittee with full power to vote on all adjustments affecting the union work- men who were Brotherhood members. | Hutcheson said admirable precedent for his scheme was offered last Octo- ber whon, after three montha of di: |pute with navy yard workers, As sistant Secretary of the Navy Roose- velt admitted Gearing to sit with the Wago Adjustment Board and the whole matter was satisfactorily cleared up tn three hours, Mr. Guerin hailed this report of ( the intervention of the Department of | Labor aa the most favorable aign in | the day's developments, H “If the Department of Labor has | Power to act in @ real attempt to adjust the wage grievances of tho union men,” maid he, “I belleve full confidence on their part will be re- |stored re? an am -*'s adjustment | of the entire situation will be effected, “Tho striking members of the union |as well as all others who threaten to walk out, 60 far have lost confidence |in the work of the Wago Adjustment Committees of the Shipping Board that I do not believe that Mr. Hut- choson or any other offloer of the brotherhood could force them to re- turn to work on promises of what | that committee intends to do, If the Department of Labor ean take charge of the mituation without the modding of the Shipping Board doubtless there will be unother story to tell.” Guerin expressed doubt aa to | whether the: carpenters would pay any attention to Hutohesen’s appeal last night to obey the call of patriotisw and refrain from tying up work at the shipyards, One reason he gave was that the President of |the Brotherhood had made his appeal |only through the nowspapers and had | not, #0 far as Guerin knew, @ent tho plea direct to the strikers through his subordinate officials of the union. Guerin hinted at @ possible oom- promise acceptable to the strikers, Carpenters employed in construction work about the city make $5.60 a day, he sald, Those employed by tho ship bullding compantes were working on a wage scale of $4.80 when they | struck for $6.60, | “It's all well and good to appeal to |the men's patriotism, 44 Guerin, |“put when @ carpenter 1s asked to give up $5.60 a day and accept $4.80 for the good of the Government his patriotism may not bridge the difter- ence in wages. I believe the strik- ing union men should accept a com- promise of $5.60.
