T HAS taken the President’s sharp reminder that “no one can strike a deadlier blow at the safety of the Nation than by in- terfering with the shipbuilding programme,” to bring the leaders | of the striking shipyard carpenters to their patriotic senses. | Yet this is not the first time the President has issued the| warning. Nor is it tho first time organized labor has eoleinnl | pledged itself to heed that warning. | Pleading for the united support of the Nation’s workers to! hasten the defeat of its enemies, President Wilson appeared in person | before the Convention of the American Federation of Labor in session | at Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 12, 1917. Part of the President’s appeal on that occasion was as follow If we are true friends of freedom—our own of anybody | else’s—we will see that the power of this country and the productivity of this country is raised to its absolute maximum and that absolutely nobody is allowed to stand in the way it. = When I say that nobody {s allowed to stand {n the way, I don't mean that they shall be prevented by the power of ths Government, but by the power of the American spirit.

Now to “stand together” means that nobody must interrupt the processes of our energy if the interruption can possibly be avoided without the absolute invasion of freedom. To put it concretely, that means this: Nobody has a right to stop the processes of labor | until all the methods of conciliation and settlement have been exhausted. Did the representatives of organized labor in the United States | ignore this plea? | Did they attempt to qualify the President’s contention that only by uninterrupted, unceasing activity and co-operation on the part | of the nation’s workers can the maximum of its fighting power be attained ? On the contrary, though they grasped the full bearing of what he said, they cheered him to the echo. The Building Trades Department of the American Federation | of Labor promptly issued an order calling for the discontinuance cf all strikes on Government work under its jurisdiction—including | shipyards and munition plants, | This action and the pledges which accompanied it were applauded | throughout the country as proving the loyalty of labor in a way at once practica) and convincing. | The country has since seen, however, how powerless is the patriotism of the American Federation of Labor to fix patriotic | standards of action for particular trades associations or for local! | unions. " The leaders of the striking shipyard workers showed that they, at any rate, considered themselves privileged to “stand in the way of the Nation’s power and productivity” until they could exact from| the Government the same old deference to the labor union for which | they had fought perennially with private employers in times of peace. | The question whether union workmen should have to work with non-union workmen on the ships which the nation so urgently | My Matri Recording the A Young Gi manial Chances| Experiences of rl of Thirty By Wilma Pollock Copsright, 1918, by the Press Publishlag Co, (The New York Krening World), edly in his reflected glory, emption By Bide “—"* you ever have your face all swelled up from a re- fractious tooth?” asked Lu- cile, the Wattress, as the Friendly Patron tackled his eggs. “Yes, indeed!" he replied. believe me, 1t wasn’t any fun.” “I got a lot of fun out of a tooth ike that," ehe went on. “Ob, tt wasn't mune.
