GOMPERS ADDRESSES
 LABOR FEDERATION

Richmond, Va, December 10.-The ad- vancement of American industry must depend in an increasing measure on a proper system of industrial education, de- .clared Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, at the annual convention here tonight of the Na- tional Society for the Promotion Of In dustrial Education. s. f'si
 The period is past said Mr. Com pers, when the United States can de- pend on cheap raw materials obtained with comparatively little labor. It is en- tering on period when 1t must depend on the qualities of human labor"
 The speaker declared Germany's method of educating her workers had-.been her chief weapon of industrial conquest, The wide acceptance of the tradema rk Made in Germany he added, means simply industrial education of the workers of Germany"
 MT. Gompers sounded warning against sham industrial education" and against Industrial training not based on the needs of the community.
 Organized labor always will oppose sham industrial education, that superficial training which confers no substantial ben eft. does not make the worker crafts man, but an interloper, who may be available in times of crisis. perhaps as a strike-breaker. but not as a trained ar tisan," he said.
 TO the extent, too that industrial ed ucatfon is not precisely adapted to the needs of the community, 1t will tend to increase the productive efficiency of cer- tain groups of labor and by bringing into these groups an over-supply of labor will tend to economic deterioration

PREPAREDNESS OF THE
 COUNTRY FOR WAR IS CENTER OF INTEREST IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
tcontlnued from Pare One,

for the 59 submarines, built, building or authorzed?'
 The secretary said no, but that enough could be improvised. "In the need of other things" he said we can get along without putting any more money in moth- CT ships. It is not expected or contem- plated to use all the submarines at one time.'' Thirty submarines are completed. With three oil tank ships altogether, the navy he thought, would get along very we'll. When the Atlantic fleet went to Mexico, MT. Daniels said, he found it easy to buy and improvise hospital ship in three weeks.
 My theory" said he, Ifs that we should put all the money available for construc- ton into our fighting ships and not aux iliaries.''
 Submarine Problem
 Secretary Daniels said submarines pre- scented a great problem; there had been much trouble over engines and batteries. He asked the committee to authorize s1O0, 900 for battery from Thomas A. Edison. which. he said. if 1t did the work MT. Edison thought 1t would do, would solve the whole submarine problem.
 Mir Daniels declared the building of sub marines was most difficult and that when they were built they seldom fulfilled promises made for them. NOW he said. I've have bought material and are begin ming to build submarine ourselves al the Portsmouth navy yard. I believe we have got to come to building them our selves"
 He said that at one time he had con- templated the purchase of submarines ir

The number of collisions due to enginemen failing to regard block signals has de- creased.
 The inherent weakness of the train order system continues to manifest itself as prominent feature of the accident record,v says the report, calling atten- ton to the need of legislation to make standard operating rules.

 The Austrian defeat is now an es- tablished fact. The Servians drove wedge into the center of the Austrian forces. shattering four army corps, which are in flight. The mass of pris- oners and captured material is so great that 1t cannot be tabulated.

Germany and France, with view to flnd- ing out their methods.
 Referring to the disappointments in sub marine efficiency, the secretary reminded the committee that "out of the 200 sub marines that Germany and England to- gether have, the world has heard of the achievements of only three."
 Representative Hobson cited newspaper reports that England was building 15 cap ital ships for delivery in 1915. more than three times her average programme; Ger many nine, several times more than her average. and that 1t still was uncertain whether the German fleet would engage the English or French fleets. Consequent ly, MT Hobson insisted those nations would be much stronger after the war than now.
 Secretary Daniels replied that he be- lieved the revulsion against war after the present conflict would greatly alter that situation.
