A eve LABOR should take notice of the way its special delegates are being received in England, Energy no less tham pride ought to be stimulated in this country’s workers by the full, frank recognition from British Govern- ment and British press of the intmensely important part the labor strength of the United States will,play in beating the German war| lords to their knees. “The visit of the Inbor delegation which has reached this country) from the United States,” says the London Daily Chronicle, “brings into direct contact with us one of the principal forces upon which the alliance depends to win the war.” “America is very rapidly becoming a great military power, | but it was the great industrial power long before, and the con- i tribution made by its workmen:is no les: of our own. _ The assurance brought by the delegation that the American Federation of Labor will not confer with representatives of the labor of enemy countries while the war lasts has been received with special enthusiasm by the British, who have Leen close enough to the inter- national labor conferences of Europe to know the dangers and decep- tions of such conclaves during the present struggle. Speaking at a luncheon given the American Labor Delegation, last Monday, the British Foreign Secretary, A. J. Balfour, laid stress on the urgent need that “the fighting forces of the United States shall be brought as speedily as possible into the ficld” in order to frustrate| the German plan of striking the hardest blow against British: and| French before American help can be effective, But Mr. Balfour did not forget the all-American effort of produc- tive energy and industry required to develop in short order America’s military strength. And his analysis of German method and German purpose left mo doubt as to what would, become of those ideals of industrial ential than that if the governing powers of Prussia should ever become the ruling force in the civilized world. American labor begins to realize that it is in this war as much as armies of governments, . It is menaced ‘by a danger which threatens the very principles Which have made American workingrfen the best paid, best housed, Vest educated, most independent.and rapidly advancing of any in the world to-day. For its own self-preservation it must defend those principles—defend them from behind the fighting lines by hard work, willing work, uninterrupted work. The rights of organized Inbor in the United States have never beon better protected than at this moment. It has been fully recog- nized that under the stress of war no opportunity must be left for employers to take unfair advantage of those they employ. Wages, hours, conditions of labor have never been more extensively and defi- nitely fixed or more vigilantly watched by the Government, nor have provisions for the prompt settlement of labor disputes by arbitration ever been worked out to a more promising degree of fulness and efficiency. Furthermore, there is no reason why such of these meas- ures as prove beneficial should not be retained after the war is ended, Under such circumstances it would be unnatural for American labor not to become more and more sensible of its responsibilities and its obligations. Unquestionably it docs so feel them. During} the past month or more there has been throughout the country a marked lessening of labor troubles. Pledges made in the name of unions are now oftener kept than broken. In war industries, ship- building particularly, production is speeding up and its continuity now practically certain, Labor on this side of the Atlantic is getting into its war stride, Sufficient reason why it should receive congratulations and stimulus » for increasing fort from its allies overseas, ++ As Director General of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, Charles M, Schwab will be on the jump to see that 130 Ameri- can ship yards launch ships as fast as American skill and energy can build them, A congenial job for Mr’ Schwab, who has done few days’ work in his life that didn't add to the solid, tangible output of something. Theories and waiting soon get on the Schwab nerves, The Government could have picked no better man to keep the hammers ringing. += In the eternal fitness of things the City of New York might have been granted a war-Mayor who measured up to the times instead of a petty nagger who rattles around in the city’s chief executive office like a dried pea in a pod, ——_—_——-4+ -—_____ According to the Frankfurter Zeitung, Germany {s getting no food out of the Ukraine, Another good reason, by the tron | logic of Prussian economics, why a million German lives can | be pald for whatever they'll buy on the Western front, Hits From Sharp Wits Bome people's good points seem to »bave been broken off.—Chicago News ee “Love levels all rank sings the ‘post.
