ould deny the right to stride was to
[ivy full asanwince that no strike
'ould be iKScosaary.
1‘And that meant much more than
uissing a hiw. American workers have
iiany times placed good laws on the
ytatue books only to find that they hud
|o organize and Strikb for their en-
forcement. No matter how patriotic
they were, they could not be uxpecteu
te trude their ouly weapon for a
statue.
‘‘That is the problem which con-
fronted the war labor conference, out
of which grew the present board. And
lot me say that 1 believe the problem
would huve been insurmountable a few
years ago. The most porfect law eould
not have pulled the trick. Compulsory
aribtrution could not do it. It is .in-
conceivable! that American workers
shall bo forced to toil by the strong
urm of the government, to any nothing
of the uncouatltutioaulity of involun-
tary servitude. Again, no force on
earth could make men jyield that cheer-
ful service necessary to win tho war.'
Confidence lu the Fveaident.
“Fortunately, there was a man at
(the helm of the government who real-
ize^ all this. To the vast majority of
the labor representatives President
Wilson’s word was inure than u con-
tract. A contract might be literally
fulfilled, bpt President Wilson’s pro-
mist! would be fulfilled in spirit too.
1.euding employers in the conference
felt the sumo way. All got behind the
president und the president got behind
the problem. When you see our big lit-
tle machine in action 1 think you will
agree that our confidence was justi-
fied. Legally we are without power.
Hut morally and actually I believe We
have more power than any court of
compulsory arbitration which congress
could have instituted.’’
Just u word about thut “machine,”
to which Mr. Walsh referred. The- old
idea of arbitration was that uu “ im-
partial" and " disinterested" party
holding the balance of power should
make a presumably impartial and dis-

award.
Lion of unionists of my acquaintance,
iwevor, has been that some of the
wurst findings have been made by
these supposedly disinterested ones. In
disputes between workers s»d employ-
ers, the “public” was hold up as the
impartial party. But who were the
public l Workers and employers—and
loafers, or at beat, meddlers. Why have
tho third party represented at ullt
In this national war labor board the
third party is not represented. There
are two representatives .1 of the .public
to be sure, one of them was chosen
by the labor representatives and the
other by the representatives of capital.
They arc the two joint chairmen, • Jtfr.
•fait and Mr. Walsh.
• • 0
It is the duty of the joint chairmen
of this tribunal not ouly to do justice
to plaintiff and defeudnut but to con-
vince both parties that justice has been
done.
This .regarding of law and regardless
of what any court has ever decreed.
The labor men who come beforo the
board are not all used to technical de-
bate. few of them know much ubuut
law und most of thorn have learned by
experience to trust the power of or-
ganized labor instead. But all have n
sense of justice and of injury. If the
oue is not appealed to und the other
appeased, the proceedings of the court
Would be in vain. The board is not
there to bund down decisions. U Is
there to prevent strikes, in the Only
possible way, they say, that strikes can
be prevented—by a full appreciation of
the human nature of the problems and
by substituting justice for mere de-
crees.

■shat Labor *.as Sacrificed.
“This board, like the udwunistra-
tiou,” he addod, “is simply making n
supreme effort to understand labor.
And the more wc understSm^labor, tho
more we realize how patriotic Ameri-
can labor has been. Organized lubof,
Through the American Federation, ha»
agreed to lay down its only weapon.
a hat is the supromo sacrifice collec-
tively. Individually, the workers are
giving their whole lives, all that is in
them, to win the wur.
“Whut arc we doing!” he added.
“Wo professional men, what sacrifice
we make short of~going to the
trenches that can compare vvith that!
We think we are doing our bit when
we stick around in comfortable sur-
roundings and puss out suggestions. If
we were required to go into the mines
or shipyards wc would know better
what labor is giving to the war.
• * *
But the workers by the hundreds of
thousands are giving up their homes to.
iivo sometimes in almost unbearable
conditions. They have given up the
short workduy for the dull drudgery of
overtime. They are not heralded as
heroes, and although their casualty
lists may be published in the local pa-
pers, the country takes no notice. We
may say that they are doing ull this
forthe extra money they can got, but
that extra money could not possibly
make up for tho sacrifices they are
making. It wou$l bo almost as just to
say that our soldiers arc fighting for
their $30 a month.
‘Because lubor demands a sufficient

The general conlen- income to keep itself in good Working
condition w« often hear if criticized
for lack of patriotism. It -would be
\bc stupidost sort of patriotism that
would demand' anything less. Bead
workers are of no use to the nation
now. Live ones are. “And the more
alive they are the more use they are to

cpme only from decent living condi-
tions for themselves and families and

“That is why tho war.lulior board
bis discarded the old formulas of arbi-
trution which consisted mainly of split*
ting the differendu between the lowest
tonus each side to the controversy
would offer to accept. We are ap-
proaching the question from an alto-
gether diforent angle. We axe looking
at labor not as a commodity, but as the
flt-sh and blood of Ameriea.
Vo Coddling of Labor.
“Make no mistake. The purpose of
the national war lubor lizard is to se-
cure maximum production of ull war
necessities. It is not to coddlo labor
or to carry through asoy man’s pet
scheme of social reform. It is to gut
more out of the workers than they
eould possibly produce under the ohl
system of strikes und lockouts. It
happens, however, that there is no con-
flict between idealism und practicality j
here. In the old days wc refused to
treat lubor humanly because we
thought it wasn’t practical. We "Un-
just beginning to see how impractical
our inhumanity was. You can get
more work out of a man than you can
can out of u commodity. ”
How can one board of twelve men
hope to do away - with the industrial
frietion in a community of 100,000,0001
The board, Mr. Walsh explained, does
not hear any grievances which euu be
settled without its help, and it assert*
no jurisdiction over the muuy legally
constituted bodies inaugurated to me-
diate und arbitrate special disputes. It,
however, eo-ordiuuted all the work of
existing boards, all of which have ac-
cepted the principles enunciated in
declaration, and it in bringing the n1
powers of the government to bear upon
the settlement of ull disputes. Even
then it euu accomplish its work only by
dividing into sections to act on cases
that tho whole board cannot disposu of.
Sure New Order WiU Last.
And after the war!
“When the war is over," said Mr.
Walsh, “I believe neither labor uoT
capital will w ant to return Jo the old
wasteful and painful system of indus-
try. The fundamental rights of labor
being recognized, labor will of eourse
go on to greutcr und greater attain-
incuts, but no intelligent capitalist to-
day would wish to interfere with that.
Just as the mind of the average work-
er today is vastly different from what
it was a year ago, so is the mind of the
average American capitalist. Tho war
has fused America. Fovs people are
looking at the problem of industry now
as a mere problem of profits and wage.
They are looking at it, first as the na-
tion's problem, OUB problem, the
problem which must be settled accord-
ing to what is best- for ull of us.
“It means a new era for America
and a new ora for the world. The time
has forever passed, I believe, when any
section of our population shall be kept

Honest Work at Honest Prices
There are two highly important
points for a man to consider before
having his cor overhauled-
The first point is to asBWf® himself
that the om who are going to worK
on his car are mechanics expert
enough to locate and properly repair
all the parts that need attention.
Th# second point is to qq*wince
himself that he can true! toe shop to
give him an honest accounting oft£#
amount of worK th#t was actually
done on the car.
We gladly welcome ah investigation
on both of these potnte. We have
the facilities, the worhmen and the
business' methods that will more *han
satisfy all who investigate.

“The only question," he concluded,
“is how the workers shall advance.

progress or in hysterical revolution,
