Continued Erem First Paae.) employers and' the employes in tbe lumbering Industry on the. Pacific Coast to settle thei-n differences at once and mutually co-operate for the produc tion of lumber for the common defence. "The United States has established an eight-hour day. and for mechanics and laborers engaged in work done for or by the Government the Presi dent is authorized to waive the eight hour day when an emergency exists. The- law requires time and a, half to be pa4d for overtime in order that there may be no inducement to work more tban eight hours when the emergency is over. . v Keel of Sacrifice Shows. A large portion of the timber pro duced on the Pacific Coast will be need ed for shipbuilding and airplane pur poses. The legal workday there might be very properly adopted. We would urge that basis of adjustment as a so lution of the problem. vour men a the front' are even now making sacrifices for the common good, with greater sacrifices to follow. Sure' ly our men at home must be equally willing to make sacrifices for the wel fare of the Nation. "We are making this appeal to the men engaged in the lumber Industry on the Koast, confident in our belief that their patriotism will respond to the country's call. (Signed) "Council of National Defense, "Per Newton D. Baker." General Strike Called.

Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, reply ing to a telegram from Brown, in fprrnine him of the. failure of the negotiations, replied today that "the eight-hour day is not only the normal recognized daily working time, but es tablished by law." He declared in fa vor of working longer than that in extraordinary emergencies, but stated his belief that time and a half should be paid for all- overtime work. Spruce Supply Promised. . Robert B, Allen, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, last night telegraphed to the Secretary, of War a pledge that the entire lum bering industry of Washington., would turn out all spruce lumber needed by the United States and her allies for the construction of the bugre airplane fleet.
