AMERICA AND SKILLED LABOR.
[Sioux City Tribune.1

Il
| [Sioux City Tribune.1
| The demand from one end Of Europe
to the other is for skilled mechanics
! men who can go into the workshops
and turn out finished products FOL
winning battles-and do it better and
more speedily than the skilled work
men Of their enemies.
| France has Systematically weeded
out ali skilled mechanics from tho as-
| ing line and sent them back to the fac
tories making guns and ammunition fol-
the use OF their less skilled country
men. Any man is good enough for
cannon fodder" but not every man
can intelligently do days work in a
factory.
England has resorted to heroic meas
ures to fill her workshops with skilled
mechanics. even going SO far as to send
agents to the United States to offer
steady employment for year at high
wages to mechanics skilled in the use
of machinery used in the manufacture
of munitions Of war.
Russia is nat on ner back because
she has few such men, while all the
advantage which Germany has had
from the beginning and still is main
tanning is due to her superior industrial
organization.
Where would America get her skilled
mechanics in event Of such a crisis! 1t
is beginning to be very apparent that
our industries have gradually become
more and more dependent upon un-
skilled foreign labor. The American
laborer has been crowded out by the
cheap laborers from southeastern
Europe. The cheap. foreign speaking
laborer now constitutes the bulk Of the
working population in our mines, in
our steel and iron mills, in our textile
mills, and in many Of the other larger
industries.
Over twenty languages are spoken In
the Baldwin locomotive works by the
workmen. The mill towns in New Eng
land are practically foreign colonies.
The mill districts Of Philadelphia. of
Pittsburg. of Chicago, are foreign COM
munities, while such towns as Gary
or Calumet are foreign in customs,
language and sentiment. These work.
men have American bosses; some few
departments in each mill or industry
may still be manned by Americans, but
the bulk of the work in our great In
dustries is done by foreigners, who are
not skilled, who are not educated, and
over 100000 Of whom are not even
naturalized.
What would this nation do In event
1t met crisis like that which is con-
fronting European nations, What is 1t
going to do in the great commercial
crisis the battle for market supremacy
after the war is over. and the skilled,
trained laborer that is in German, Eng
lish and French factories (not the kind
that emigrates to America from south
eastern Europe) begins to turn out
articles OF commerce. instead OF ar
ticles Of warfare! Just what kind OF
an Industrial system has been built up
under the protective tariff system OF
a home monopoly for products Of any
quality and a free trade market for
labor Of the poorest quality?

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

THE man who never goes to church
till he is carried in should be ashamed
of himself says the Oelwein Register
"a place that is good enough for the
relatives and friends TO gather for
farewell service is surely desirable for
attendance while in the land Of the liv-
ing. While you might feel like the
strange cat in garnet just try your
luck and attend church at least once
to see how it would seem"

Europe crept into dependency case,
which was up before Judge Nels a.
Larson in county court this morning.
The only relatives. grandparents Of
little Moline girl, live in Belgium, and
the question was brought up as to
whether or not they were alive.
Some time ago dependency papers
were made out for Madeline Huzpad
and this morning the hearing came up,
but the case was continued for 20
days and the name changed to Made
line HUtsebout.
Republication of the notice was or
dered but further than the grandpar-
ents, il they are alive, the girl has no
other living relatives. Judge Larson
declared that if the grandparents
were in that part of Belgium where
fighting had been most fierce, that
are that they were not living /
now.
