Addresses Employers

Addresses Employers
The appeal was addressed almost as
much to the employers as to the men,
although the meeting was entirely for
the workers and the manufacturers
were told in plain terms that they
must not expect to make undue profits
from government contracts
I'VE tried" said Mr. Asquith, with
out success, to minimize the conflict,
but our honor, our security, our glo-
cherished ideals were put in the ISSUE
Whole Nation In War
The premier declared that the de-
mand for men and material was on SO
vast scale that it might be said,
without exaggeration, that the whole
nation was taking part in the. war. The
armies fighting at the front like the
armies which were being made ready
were drawn to q degree never before
known from all classes and sections
of the people There were very few
houses which had not voluntarily and
spontaneously delivered their best
manhood to the forces Of the crown
The men who were producing mate
rial were, in as true a sense as the
sailors and soldiers, fighters, and COM
batants in this national war.
Equipment Excellent
"Never has there peen better equip
ment. l saw a statement recently that
our work at the front was being Grip
pied by lack of supplies. There is
not word of truth in that statement"
he said.
The premier also denied that the
government had only lately become
alive to the Importance of the matter.
Nor is it true that there has been any
general slackness on the part Of any
employers or employees" continued the
premier. Some employees register 81 to
SO hours per week per man. The sit
uation can be otherwise explained. 1t
is due to the unprecedented scale on
which ammunition has been expended
on each side, to the shortness Of skilled
labor and to the success in recruiting"
Two hundred and seventeen thou
sand minets had enlisted-20 per cent
of the total number-and nearly So
per cent of the men of military age,
said the premier. There was an influx
of 10000 men from other industries,
and there was still 4 shortage of IA
per cent. of the former numbers, the
result being a present diminution of
II per cent. in the normal output,
while the war had caused an increased
demand.
Mr.. Asquith appealed to the men to
rival the patriotism of their fellows
who had gone to the front and in
crease the output. All were called upon
to make sacrifices. The premier con-
graduated. the men on the formation of
committee at Newcastle which was
devoting itself to bringing in skilled
labor to fill the vacant places in the
armament firms.
4 state my own conviction" said
the speaker, when I say that once
productive factories are organized and
modified all will be we'll I remember
your message: The masters and men
together will deliver the goods That
is all we ask you to do

Pride in Rough Riders
He sketched his political carer and,
with considerable pride discussed the
regiment of Rough Riders he organ
lied for service in the Spanish war.
He would have related orders he had
given the men under him had not coun-
sci for the plaintiff objected. Then he
gave detailed testimony about his re-
lations with the late Senator Thomas
c.. Plat, with Mr.. Barnes and CONVEX
sations he had with both these men on
various occasions. He will continue his
testimony tomorrow.
Discussions With "Judge"
Col. Roosevelt talked to the coun-
sci for both sides, offered suggestions
and entered into a discussion of more
than one point with Justice William
S. Andrews, presiding, whom he adj
dressed as Judge" He was entirely
at east in the witness chair. He
stretched his arms over the back of
his chair, crossed first one leg and
then the other, and then adjusted his
glasses from time to time. He cut all
his words off shortly except when he
mentioned the name Of Mr.. Barnes. He
drew out the name of his opponent and
put a peculiar pronunciation upon 1t.
Mr.. Barnes himself appeared to be
very much interested in the first part
Of Col. Roosevelt's testimony. AS it
progressed, however, the plaintiff
seemed to lose interest and finally left
the room.
Mr.. Barnes attorneys had rested be-
fore Col. Roosevelt was called to the
stand. They completed presentation of
their case in 20 minutes and called
as their single witness the defendant s
own private secretary.

after technical question of proper
identification Of the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT had been brought up by the
lawyers. He was asked just one uucs-

PENDANT in the action. He replied in the
affirmative and was then made a wit
