ARMS WALK0UT
SETF0R TO-DAY:
STRIKES GROW
Labor Leaders Threaten to
Tie Up 20 Munitions
Plants at Once.
900 OIL MEN GO OUT:
SHIP STRIKE HINTED

Five hundred workmen in the REM
ing,on factories at Bridgeport have
been ordered by their leaders to so
on strike to-day. This news from
Bridgeport last night was Immediately
followed by the announcement OF the
International labor leaders that the
strike in the munitions plants would
be general and that twenty or more
concerns engaged in turning out war
supplies for the Allies would be COM
pletely tied up within few days.
Concidentally with the statement Of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. that
there Is reason to believe that an
organized propaganda exists designed
TO foment labor troubles and 80 cut
of the Allies from munitions manu-
factured in this country, the hint
spread through shipping circles that a
seamen's strike is to be called to pre-
vent the loading Of merchant vessels.
The trouble appears to be spreading
to all industries concerned in supply
ing European customers. Nine hum
dred workmen at the Standard oil
plant in Bayonne struck yesterday
and there is some reason to believe
that the strike will grow and cover
5000 men.
Although officials of the American
Federation Of Labor professcd yester-
day to believe that an amicable settle
ment Of the Bridgeport troubles could
he effected. 1t was known last night
that a fight is inevitable ard will be
waged desperately. The Bridgeport
manufacturers have promised the
bennington company all of the aid
within their power. Attention was
called la the fact that the various
s,rikes-all affecting the ability ot
Germany's enemies To get war sup
p,ies-have been forced despite the
fsct that no grave differences existed
between employers and employees.
The idea set forth by the London
Morning Post on the word of its Buda-
pest correspondent that $4,000 0O0

The SuHgcstiOns.


Dae suggestion is that the President.
after reviewing IN the note the facts Of
the CORES pondencc with Germany and
the pJint I, which the exchanges have
brought this Government. might re-
iterate his demand for specific assur-
al.cs In lsugu ge virtually the equiva-
lent OF an u!timatum.
Anuther suggestion is that thc de-
mands be reiterated with somewhat
more severity than in :he note of June
. and he accompanied with AN !ntima-
ton OF the action which the United
states Government might be expected to
t,ke If Germany still remains unre.pon-
siv,.
St,l another course suggested is that
the President reassert finally the prin-
clpes up. II which this q tvernmont will
stand and make il clear that this Gov
ernment will feel obliged to act In de-
fence OF those principles in the event OF
any further loss of American life.
Evidences are plainly sce,nible how
ever. that the President is alive To- the
fac, that there is strong feeling in many
quarters against any action which would
involve this Government in the war, and
II is certain that this sent .ment will be
reflected in the note which the President
will send

blity for any break upon Germany.
Much Ad,ice Given.
Secretary Lansing when he met the
President in the morning was FUZZY pre-
pared with a concrete expression Of his
ideas on the subject. In addition the
two had before them memoranda pre-.
pared at the State Department and by
unofficial advisers Of the President. on
various aspects of the situation and also
general recommendations as to tine
course to he pursued.
There IL good reason to believe that
the differences among the recommends
tions were chiefly ON the point as to
whether Germany should get a definite
idea of what to expect from the United
/ States in the event that she remains
rresponsve.
Some officials here feel II would be a
wise step on the part of the President
/ to follow his Forthcoming note with
some sort of a demonstration in order To-
convince the German Government of the
! earnestness of the United States One
form suggested for such IA demonstration
would he the summoning to Wash!ngtou
OF the party leaders OF the House and
Senate. There t. no doubt that such
action would cause profound impres.
sion in the country and would have a
similar effect abroad
Officials mere are satisfied that the
Germans have been proceeding on the
theory that in no event will the United
states take any drastic action and that
therefore there is no necessity for Ger

In his letters to the presidents Of the
respective societies. forwarded to-day.
Secretary Daniels said.
A few days ago, as you have doubt
less seen I'm the papers. desiring to make
available the latent inventive genius Of
our country to improve our navy, | re-
quested Thomas \ Edison to become
chairman Of AN advisory committee Of
eminent men who would make up the
committee. MIR. Edison with the patriot
ism characteristic vt American inventors
accepted the call to duty.
Il am writing to ask the membership
OF your society to give practical and
valuable aid and needed cooperation by
selecting representatives OF their body
to serve as members Of tn. advisory
committee. II il believed that the best
results can bc obtained only by such
selection of the membership as will be
representative of the inventive genius
and scientific knowledg. found in the
membership of your kindred societies.
"Will you not ~ president of your
society, arrange to secure the selection
of two Of its members to serve on this
advisory board? | feel that the work
your society has done has been such AS
to give IL the right To lie In a way Off
Cially represented and the Navy Depart
ment desires in this way to testify to its
own appreciation of the splendid work
for our country that your society has
done In addition, ! feel that the Judg-
ment OF your members as to who is best
qualified among you to serve Oh this
board will he far better than my own.

Il am going 10 ask YOU take "a poll
by letter of your members, or in what
ever way seems to you most certain OF
securing the men desired by the majority
of your organization. To choose two of
your members to serve on this board
and 4 will give me great pleasure when
you have furnished me these names to
extend the gentlemen the formal invita-
tion Of the department.
I'VE are anxious to begin as soon as
possible and. If your society can furnish
me the names al an early date, IL viii
help the prompt organization of the ad-
yisory board very much. In adopting
this course ! have the emphatic approval
OF Mr. Edison. and he agrees entirely
with me that your society should be rep
resented in this way ana that no better
method of getting the kind of men We
nce,i could be devised
In making his announcement that he
had asked societies to advise in the mat
ter Of the personnel OF the advisory
board Secretary Daniels said
After consultation with eminent men
in the navy and civilian life | have de-
cided to ask eight societies, having large
memberships. each to select two mem-
bers who will make up the advisory com
mttee. IN this way ! feel sure we will
have the hearty cooperation of the thou
sands Of trained experts who make up
their membership.
"'rhe members Of these societies will
naturally see To II that their most emil
nent representatives are chosen. We Will
b therefore obtain for the navy the direct
advice of those selected to serve on the
committee and also the interest Of all the
members Of the societies who make the
selection.

Executive Committee OF Which Capt.
Daugherty 70 Chairman De-
cided On Location Of
Meeting.
DATE MAY BE AUGUST 10
This Fact Was Not Definitely Deter
mined, But Committee Will Meet
Again For This
Purpose.

Donnellson will get the meeting Of
the Lee county old settlers this year.
The executive committee Of which
Capt. j. F. Daugherty is chairman, met
Friday at Donnellson and decided that
the celebra ton would be held there
this year. The committee Is to meet
some time later to discuss the date
and further plans. It is understood
that August Is was favored as the
best time for holding the celebration.
The executive committee is COM
posed of Capt. j. F. Dsugherty of Kec-
kuk, James Cruikshank, F. c. Tabor
and David McColloch of Donnellson,
and B. B. Hesse of Fort Madison.
During the last two years Keokuk
and Fort Madison have entertained
the Old Settlers association. The
program for this years meeting will
be arranged by the Donnellson mem
bers OF the organization, and it is
limited that it will be an exceptionally
good one. with several addresses by
well known men.
A reunion at Donnellson undoubt-
eddy will attract many pioneers from
the central part of the county who do
not ordinarily attend the annual gath
erings of the old settlers, and for this
reason the executive committee feels
sure that it has been wise in naming
that place.
