WASHINGTON. Dee. 10 Conscription of labor to prevent interference with war work is regarded as unnecessary by Secretary of Labor Wilson in his annual report to congress today. Noting a "sudden and enormous increase in the number of labor disputes with the beginning of the war, the secretary blamed most labor lawlessness on employers who forbid organization by their workmen on pain of dismissal. Secretary Wilson indorsed labor unions.

But he declared in favor of making workers government employes rather than compelling them to work "for private profit," should labor conscription finally become necessary. "By simple and fair systems of collective bargaining between the government, labor organizations and business Secretary Wilson, "all labor disputes prejudicial to an effective prosecution of the war can be eliminated." Mothers in industry received special mention, the secretary favoring pensions and allowances rather than permitting the "increased infant mortality which follows employment of nursing mothers away from their infants." Recommendations were renewed for old age pensions for government employes and colonization land grants for soldiers and "wage earners in general." Secretary Wilson praised the new immigration law, containing the Ilt-erasy tests, as "an eminently satisfactory lawt destined to be of great benefit to the country." The tests showed 14.3 per cent illiteracy. Total immigration was 362, 877, a decrease of 1 percent from the preceding year. Sffltl 01 IB111 i j. uiu 111- W.

The meeting was opened by speakers who urged union men to join the navy. Among the speakers were Lee Meriwether, a lawyer, and Joseph Taylor of the British Recruiting Mission. After his speech Taylor asked the Great Lakes Naval Band, which is doing recruiting worc in St.

Louis to play "The Star-Spangled Banner." All in the hall rose save Oburn. When Taylor saw that Oburn vins not standing, he rushed from the platform to Oburn's side. "Stand ut" he cried. Oburn refused. Taylor grabbed him about the waist and dragged him to his feet.

"You'll stand, anyway," shouted Taylor, who held Oburn on his feet until the band had finished the patriotic air. The disturbance now became gen-eial, and several delegates made a rush in the direction of Oburn. The formed a circle about him and held back several men who wanted to attack him. James F. McGinn, delegate of an electrical union, got through the gu-ird, however, and landed several blows on Oburn's face.

He also forced Oburn to salute and kiss the flag. letter, when Oburn was being escorted from the building by two jackies. another attempt was made to beat him. On this occasion blow was landed on his jaw. President P.

He said when Taylor grabbed him in an effort to make him sta.id he resented it and just sat there for spite. "I'm just as good an American as anvone else," said Oburn today.
