corning this vital matter
Growing alarm has been manifested
this week In British labor circles at
the possibility that the government
will attempt to force conscription up
on the nation. Premier Asquith has
announced that the British army and
navy are now nearly three million
strong. About two and half million
men are thus presumably in the army
and the pressing necessity for con-
scription therefore Is not apparent to
the working classes. British LABOR
suspects the real object OF the con-
scription campaign IS to make the
workingmen more amenable to capl-
talistic discipline. Labor representa-
tives have threatened inside the
house Of commons and outside, that
conscription will lead to civil strife.
The railway mems union Have en-
phasized this fact by announcing
that conscription will be met with a
strike which will tie up railroad traf,

titude Of the workingmen is so posi-
tive that it is highly improbable that
