HAIDERS' REMOVAL IS ASKED
Philadelphia Mayor Says Ships Men
ace City's Safety.
WASHINGTON, ' March 12. Formal
request for the removal from the Phila
delphia Navy-yard of the Interned Ger
man commerce raiders Prince Eitel
Kriedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm, or
the 700 men comprising their crews,
was made personally to Secretary Dan
ielstoday by Mayor Smith, of Phila
delphia, on the ground that they con
stitute a menace to the safety of the
city.
The Mayor was told that transfer of
the German crews already was under
consideration. He also was assured
that every precaution was being taken
to guard against the possibility of any
disturbance by the German sailors and
that they were under constant surveil
lance by the Navy-Yard authorities.
No official report of the arrest on
charges of smuggling of some of the
Germans has reached the department.
Officials said they had heard informally,
however, that several arrests had been
made and that rumors were current In
Philadelphia that high explosives were
being secretly taken aboard the ships.
It has been suggested that the Interned
crews be sent to some inland barracks,
but none has been found available.

Right of Search Conceded.

privileged to exercise the right of visit

In other words, any American mer
chant ship carrying arms furnished by
the United States Government with a
crew of naval gunners to operate them
has the right to sail the seas as it
pleases and is none the less a merchant
vessel because it has a battery for de

ship comes in sight and makes the
necessary inquiries, this Government
will have no complaint and the naval
gunners will not be supposed to fire
their guns at the warship.
But if the warship neglects to com

POSLAM
tlonal law and shows Intention to be
hostile the gunners would be privi
leged to turn their battery on the war
ship, as on a pirate, In order to save
the lives of those on board.
The official communication to all
governments of the President's de
termination to place an armed guard
for the protection of the vessels and
the lives of the persons on board was
inspired by several considerations.
First, such action was desirable In
order to show that the ships could not
be regarded as "pirates," which is the
contention of Germany.
Second. In declaring that tne wjt
ernment.of the United States has de
termined to place armed guards ror
the protection of the vessels, the Pres
ident and Secretary Lansing wants
Germany to understand that If the
submarines attack, the American craft
they will be attacking enlisted men
of the regular service. carrying out
the instructions of their Commander-
in-Chief. ,
Armament Is for "Protection."
Third. The communication Is a no
tice to Germany that the vessels are
armed "for protection." and not for
attack, and Germany will realize that
the right of protection carries witn it
th rierht to resistance, which means
instant firing upon German submarines
necessarrily acting under the German
decree of January 31. "that all ships.
those of neutrals included." met witnin
certain zones of the high seas, would
be sunk without any precautions - ror
the safety of persons -on board and
without the exercise of "visit and
search." -
Fourth. In transmitting the commu
nication to all countries, the President
and Mr. Lansing desired them to know
officially what the United States pro
poses to do and to encourage them to
adopt a similar policy for the protec
tion of their vessels ana tne uvea oi
their nationals.
It is worth noting further that the
Government specifically limits the arm
ing of ships to those "sailing througn
the barred areas." In other words, the
United States has no intention of arm
ing every ship at the present time. It
will do so Only If submarines inaugu
rate operations outside the so-called
"war zone" described in the German
decree.

LABOR TO STAND BY
Hi CRISIS
Services Offered in "Every
Field" by Representatives
of 3,000,000 Workers. .
UNANIMOUS ACTION TAKEN
Industrial Service Held Equally
Meritorious With Military, and
Representation Asked In All
Agencies for Defense.
WASHINGTON, Mjrch 12. Organized
labor In America, throu. .. its repre
sentatives in conference here tonight,
offered Its services to the country in
every field of activity.
This offer is made in the event that
despite all endeavors and hopes, the
United States should be drawn into
war.
The action was taken by unanimous
vote of more than 150 delegates from
National and international trade unions
affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor and five unaffiliated or
ganizations, including the great rail
road brotherhoods. In all, about 3.000,
000 American workers were represented
In the conference, called to determine
and announce the part to be claimed by
labor In National preparedness plans.
Labor's Interests Safeguarded.
A statement formally adopted and Is
sued after the meeting set forth, in
addition to the offer of services in case
of war. various demands which were
held to be fundamentals In safeguard
ing the rights of workers in war times
as well as in peace. Militarism was
protested against; it was held that in
dustrial service should be deemed
eauallv meritorious as military service;
that service should conform to trade
union standards and that organized la
bor should have representation on all
agencies determining and administer
ing policies of National defense ana
controlling publicity. The concluding
paragraphs of the statement pledging
labor s support to the Isatlon toiiow
We hereby pledge ourselves in peace
or In war. in stress or in storm, to
stand unreservedly by the standards of
liberty and the safety and preservation
of the institutions and ideals or our
Republic.
Services Offered In Every Field.
"In this solemn hour of our Nation's
life, it is our earnest hope that our
Republic may be safeguarded in its un
swerving desire for peace; that our
people may be spared the horrors and
the burdens of war; that they may
have the opportunity to cultivate and
develop the arts of peace, human broth
erhoodi and a higher civilization.
But. despite all our endeavors ana
hopes, should our country be drawn in
the maelstrom of the European con
flict, we, with these Ideals of liberty
and lustlce herein declared, as the In
dispensable bars for National policies,
offer our services to our country in
everv field of activity, to defend, sare-
guard and preserve the Republic of the
United States of America against its
enemies whomsoever they may be, and
we call upon our fellow-workers and
fellow-citizens in the holy name of laJ
labor. Justice, freedom and humanity
to devotedly and patriotically give like
service.
- Work Completed In Few Hours.
The statement was drafted by the
executive council of the American Fed
eration of Labor, which submitted it
to the delegates gathered here today
in response to a call from Samuel Gom
pers, president, who presided at the
conference. It had been thought that
perhaps two or three days might be
required for discussion, but the con
ference finished its work in a few
hours.
Although the meetings were execu
tive, it was- said later that only slight
objection was voiced to certain pass
ages In the original draft of the state
ment, and these were explained away,
the vote of adoption being without
dissenting voice. .
The statement opens with this dec
laration:
"We speak for millions of Amerl
cans. We are not a sect. We are not
a partv. We represent the organiza
tions held together by the pressure of
our common needs. We represent the
part of the Nation closest to the funda
mentals of life. Those we represent
wield the Nation's tools and grapple
with the forces that are brought under
control in our material - civilization.
The power and- use of industrial tools
are greater than the tools of war and
will in time supersede agencies of de
struction.
War Must Be Reckoned With.
It then goes on to say that "whether
we approve It or not. we must recog
nize that war is a situation with which
we must reckon," and points out that
the United States may be drawn into
the European conflict at any moment.
Attention is called to the fact that
methods of modern warfare are far dlf
ferent from those of previous ware, and
that "the Nation's problems afford an
opportunity for the establishment of
new freedom and wider opportunities.
Modern war, the statement says. In
eludes contests between workshops,
factories, the land, financial and trans
portation resources; therefore, it is fit
ting that the masses of the people of
the United States should "take counsel
and determine" the course they shall
pursue.
"It is timely," It adds, "that we
frankly present experiences and condi
tions which in former times have pre
vented nations from benefitting by the
voluntary, whole-hearted co-operation
of wage-earners in war time, and then
make suggestions how these hindrances
to our National strength and vigor can
be removed."
Fundamental Preparedneaa Urged.
It is maintained to be a fundamental
step in'preparedness for the Nation to
set Its own house in order and estab
llsh at home Justice in relations be
tween men."
Previous wars, for whatever purpose
waged, are. said to have developed new
opportunities for exploiting wage
earners; labor being stripped of its
meana of home defense and robbed of
the advantages, protections and guar
antees achieved after ages of strug
gles. Wage-eaniers are declared al
ways to have lost, regardless of the
outcome of the wars.
"Since the masses perform Sndispen
sable service, it follows," the statement
declares, "that they should have
voice In determining the conditions
upon which they give service.'
It then proceeds, on behalf of th
workers of America, to make known
"their beliefs, their demands and their
purposes."
The demands include "the right in
war times to be the recognized d
fender of wage-earners against th
same lorces wnicn in former wars
have made National necessity an ex
cuse for more ruthless methods."
Recognition la Demanded. '
Conditions of work and pay In Gov
ernment employment and in all occu
pations. it is asserted, should conform
to the principles of human welfare an
justice, and "whether in peace or war,
COUNTRY
the Government must recognize the or
ganized labor movement as the agency
through which it must cooperate with
wage-earners."
It is held that service In war time
may be either military or industrial,
and that both are equally essential to
the National defense. "
"We hold." the statement says, "this
to be incontrovertible, that the Gov
ernment, which demands that men and
women give their labor power, their
bodies or their lives to its service,
should also demand the service, in the
interest of these human beings, of all
wealth and the products of human toil
property."
Welfare to Be Protected.
It also is held that if workers are
called on to give ' more exhausting
service than their welfare warrants
such service shall be asked only when
accompanied by increased guarantees
and safeguards and when the profits
to employers shall be limited, to fixed
percentages.
Demand is made for clear differen
tiation in preparedness between mili
tary service for the Nation and. police
duty in -industrial disputes.
Whenever changes in the organiza
tion of industry are necessary upon a
war baBis, it is insisted that they shall
e made in accordance with plans
greed upon by representatives of the
Government and those engaged in the
industry.
When women may bo employed
equal p'ay for equal work is demanded
without regard to sex.

Conciliation committees composed
Jointly of employers, labor leaders and
the public would be formed in every

"There is need of early precaution on
this subject, not only on account of the
publicly announced intentions of cer

strikes and rfots in every manufactur

get a hearing, but also on account of
the experience iiv England, where it
was found, after the South Wales
miners' strike involving 200,000 work
men, that the only means of settling
and preventing strikes was through
such voluntary efforts, the munitions
compulsory act having proved futile."

a little off perfect, just enough to catch the eye of the
grader at the millst You won't mind the slight imperfections,
because, in many instances, you'll have to actually hunt for
them! And often you won't find the "hurt" the first time,
either!
These stockings are full fashioned on good fitting lines;
legs are all silk, with lisle garter tops for extra service, in
white only, and you'll find all sizes in the lot!

A Reliable Remedy for
Kidneys and Bladder
Foley Kidney Pill Also Do
Remarkable Work Where
There Are Urinary
f Irreerulaxitfe
Irregular, painful bladder action
Is another convincing evidence of
kidney trouble. The urine becomes
concentrated, causing great Irrita
bility of the bladder. There ia a de
Blre to pass water frequently with a
painful burning sensation. This Ir
regularity becomes a serious nuisance
at night, causing loss of rest and
sleep to one already weakened by
kidney trouble. There Is also the
added danger of chilling the body, a
condition to be very carefully avoided
at such a time.
Foley Kidney Pills control thia
situation promptly and effectively.
They cause a normal, healthy flow,
relieving the concentrated condition
that produced the Irritability and
burning sensation. The bladder ac
tion is regulated to avoid the too
frequent calls, and easy restful
nights, without pain or backache,
without loss of sleep or bad dreams.
Is a quick result. .
