PROC2KA3I TO DATE j
Attention Being: Given to Labor Trouble,
Food Speculators and the
Enforcement of the Draft j
Law
By D. W. Edwards
Washington, Aug. 6.?President |
Wilson gave no mtimanon ioaay as
=io the possibility of his going before
^congress with a restatement of our
aar aims or an outline of the peace
terms this country would consider,
.'.'instead he pitched into preparation I

Here is the status of the United,
States organization for war as it j
stands today:
*1.?Laboring men who refuse to su-|
'^ordinate their individual needs to
the needs of the government may ce
drafted and put to work under military
authority.
2?Capatilists, in coal and food, the
two great basic commodities, who fdK
to accommodate their production and
prices to the needs of the nation an<3
her allies, may find their business
taken over and run by either Herbert
Hoover or the federal trade commission.

The experts council has firmly
;settled down in its policy of strict
-embargo upon supplies which might
"by any possibility leak into Germany.
"The policy will be applied regardless
of the strain it will put upon
neutrals.
With Prance in the surprising state j
freshness revealed by the remark-!
statement of Andre Tardieu yes-,

weight of -men and metal just begin^aiing
to be felt on the Flanders front,

Attitnde to Labor
Many of these things are not of th
moment. The conscription of labor
ing men is provided for in the selec
ive service act. It is not expected b
any of the officials in close touch wit
the labor situation that it will eve
have to be resorted to. Labor troi;
bles all over the country have so fa
been successfully settled by othe
means. But should the time eve
come when the program of the go\
ernment is held up by the impossi
bility of inducing laboring men to resume
work, this power will be calls
upon.
Serious Delay
Sefretary Daniels today stated tha
labor troubles were seriously delay
ing some of the repair work on tn
Jerman liners taken over in the por
of New York. Mediators of the labo
department will first try to straig' te.
out the tangle. If they fail, eithe
the German ships will be rushed t
navy yards for the completion of tiiei
repairs, or the yards will be com
mandeered under the shipping law, o
those workmen within the conscrip
~ * j ex. ^.
tion ages will find themselves araueinto
the national army and assignee
to "duty" cn their old jobs. As it i
understood that the only differene<
between the mere bosses in thi
instance is 50 cents a day in wagds,
is probable that none of these drasti
measures will have to be resorted 10
Little attention has hitherto beei
paid to the Pomerene amendment t.
the food control bill which gives th
trade commission such drastic pow
ers. The trade commission, however
has been busy with its preliminary in
vestigation of coal costs for week
before the senate gets through tall:
ing about the bill the trade commls
sion will be ready to act. The sam
may be said of the machinery whic!
Herbert Hoover is pieparing for th
food administration.
Under the Pomerene amendmen
the trade commission having foum
the cost of coal may fix a fair pric
and may order its distribution. Thl
will be done either by pooling th
output of certain districts and settiui
a maximum price, or by taking ove
the actual coal and selling it througJ
government agencies at this cost plu
a reasonable profit to be paid to tin
owners. /
Military legislation has long agi
been completed. With the passage o
the food control bill the adminsitra
tion believes that the industrial mo
bilization of the nation wil be ac
complished.
The administration is hopeful tha
the appearance of this huge powe
readv against Germany will brinj
serious peace terms from the Teutoi
empires, But the administration i
not permitting that hope to interfer
with the asse/.bling of its vast ma
chine.

Taylor also quotes several stat
n ments made by President Wilson
public addresses declaring that, tl
. j constitution doe3 not permit the pre
I ident to send the national militia o
^ I of the United States. One of the;
SE j occurred in New York, in Januar
! 1916. when President Wilson salu:
"I beiieve it i.- /.e duty of congre:
8 i to do very much more for the nation
j guard than it' has ever done - hereto
I fore. I believe that that great arrr
j of our national defense should I
I built up and encouraged to the u

0l j under the constitution of the Unite
Lne States that national guard is unci'
the direction of more than two scoi
] States, that it is not permitted to tl
national government directly to ha\
ton a voice in its development and orga;
aft ization, and that only upon occasic
?r"'of immediate invasion has the pres
ar", dent of the United States the right 1
ieQ ask these men to leave those respe<
tive States."
V* p
Taylor contends tne draft army
ya~ in realitv merelv the organized ni
tional m'litia. The law providing fc
5as the draft is merely an extension ac
Lne amendment of the national defens
ns ' act of June 3. 1916, w-hich is a la
10,1 defininfi the composition of the militi
and dividing them into three class*
t)e*;?national guards, naval militia as
irt> un-organized militia. The draft dea:
with the unorganized militia.
' Taylor says an effort was made a
* inserting in the act of May 18, 191
f. "certain cabalistic words whlc
j would authorize the president by a
; executive order to convert the natloi
| al militia called forth a3 such by coa
j gress into a part of the regular arm
! of the United States, and tnus ere
r: prire them of their constitutional ei
j eraption."
w i Taylor contends the congreeslona
V order of July 10 attempting to coe
vert the militia into regulars is voi<
Says he:
"The short and conclusive answe
to all such pitiful ana seditious noc
sense is two-fold: In the fLnet plac<
I the cabalistic and scarcely grammai
ical terms of the act, vrhen proper!
; construed, do not clearly indicate tha
: the congress really intended to cor
I: fer upon the president a power whlc
the constitution pxpressly forbids ]
to exercise itself; in the second piac
if su<"h is the purpose of that part c
the act, it is grossly unuoastitutloni
because, in the words of Attorne
General WickersVm, 'congress car
not by its o?/n enactment, enlarge tn
power conferred npo;i H by the coi
stitution,' and if this provision were
ie construed to authorize cougress to
