BRITISH BITTER AT
 ETON'S HEAD MASTER
Dr. Lytteton's Pro-German Expres- sions Bring Severe Denunacia-
 ton Upon Him.

Correspondence of the associated Press)
 London, Aug. 26-Dr. Lyttleton, the head master of Eton, who had the press buzzing about is ears last winter for saying in the pulpit that it was the duty of British Christians to for give the Germans, is again in trouble because of his sentiments. This time, Dr. Lyttleton has aroused the British patriots by finding an excuse for the German foreign policy.
 "Germany,' he said, at a public gathering, "has for the past fifty years that might be none too creditable to other nations"
 He also held Britain's national covetousness" and "discord' to be in part responsible for the outbreak of the present conflict.
 The Post is among the papers bit terly attacking the head of Eton. In answer to his charges it cites the role taken by Prussia in the partition of Poland, Germany's seizure of Schles- W1g-Holstein from Denmark and Alsace-Lorraine from france and on the other hand the cession of Heligo- land by England to Germany and the occupation of German Africa by Brit lsh consent, to. say nothing of Ger many's Pacific islands, section of China and preponderant interest in Turkey. Germany's Baltic frontage is said to refute the charge of being hemmed in.
 In Dr. Lyttleton's view we are a nation of Pharisees whose greed brings war about" comments the Eosa, while we publicly thank God that we are not as these Germans The Germans are bad, he says. but the English are also bad. Only Dr. Lyttleton remains pure in sordid world"

SKILLED WORKMEN
 NEGLECT BODIES
Highest Type of Labor Open to
 Disease Under Best Conditions

| Rochester, N Y, Sept. S.-Startling | figures as to the prevalence of illness
 among skilled workmen, even under i the most favorable working condi- { tions were set forth in an address by Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, Director of 1 before the American Public Health ] association here today. To ascertain l the condition of individual workers and measure how far they fell below their atta ina ble condition of bodily ef- l fciency and well-being, the Institute conducted an examInation of 1000 foremen and skilled workmen in the automobile industry.
 Notwithstanding that these men were working under the most favor able conditions as to environment, compensation and emergency medical aid, forty-two per cent of them showed signs of premature aging evidenced by arterial changes varying from slight fibrosis to advanced arter- ic-schlerosis. More than thiry-nine per cent showed evidence of kidney disorder; sixty-eight per cent showed some form of mouth infection; four teen per cent showed marked over weight and over er-nourishment; 51 per cent. showed serious errors in diet; while 5 per cent showed other errors in personal hygiene.
 65 1-2 Per Cent in Need.
 Although 65 1-2 per cent were found in need of some form of medi- cal treatment or guidance, or this number only 1-2 per cent. were aware of that fact.
 Like other classes in the popula- tion,' said Dr. Fisk, practically all industrial workers. are daily injured their working capacity reduced, their lives shortened and their capacity for enjoyment limited by faulty personal hygiene or bodily neglect due to ig- norance of bodily condition.
 The prevention of industrial acci- dents and of occupational poisoning, the proper sanitation Of factories and ! workshops and the protection of work 1 CTS against communicable diseases is | a splendid and important work al- ready highly organized and producing tremendous results, but the protec- | aion of the workers against highly or | ganized and producing tremendous re- | suits, but the protection of the work CT from self-injury by faulty living l habits and from the gradual impair ment of the machinery of his body 1 through neglect is a work that tram | scends in importance that of indus trial hygiene. Such work is just be- 1 ginning to be carried on in @ thor ough-going and systematic way"

Construction work on the new ad- dition to the plant of the Union Manufacturing company on Church street is being pushed along rapidly. The building, which replaces the original frame structure of the old factory, torn down last year, will be f50 feet long, 50 feet wide and five stories high.

 Heavy lathes and drill presses will be installed in the addition and this will follow at once upon the com pletion of the structure. The com pany at present is very active and is reported to have large orders booked, which will keep it busy for lengthy period.

Dr. Dumba, it is asserted, had received instructions to make known new decree of the dual empire declaring its nationals amenable to martial law for helping in the manufacture of munitions for an enemy. There was no denial, however, that Austria Hun gary's representative would not hesi- tate to handicap their enemies eff forts to get munitions, although they had no desire to injure American in terests.

 Conviction of Lawson.
 Let us not forget the injustice of the courts, not only in this state where the homes of our brothers are being taken away from them, but let us also give thought to the convic- tion of John R. Lawson in Colorado.
 Tn closing, let me say that each of us here today has voluntarily &C., cepted responsibility that carries with it the safeguarding of the hopes, ambitions and social and economic well being of those who have the honor to represent. Let us not shirk this responsibility. Each is entitled to and will be accorded the right to battle for what he considers the right thing to do, but we should be willing to cheerfully surrender to the will of the majority. To be engaged in the Uplift movement, the struggle for better and more humane and just working and living conditions for the toiling masses, is a work worthy of the best efforts man possesses. I sin- cerely hope that your wisdom and good judgment may find a reasonable and satisfactory way by which the many important matters that will come before this convention, may be solved.

TRADES COUNCIL
WOULD AMEND
LIABILITY LAW
Wants Compulsory Insurance
and Pay for Widow Until
She Remarries.

Planning for an extensive legisla-
tive program, the members of the Es-
/ sex Trades Council went ON record
last night as concurring in the action
Of the conference recently held in this
city under the auspices of the Amer
lean Association for Labor to seek an
amendment to the compensation law
Of the state. The possibility of an
other constabulary bill appearing III
the Legislature this winter was
touched upon by Secretary Henry f..
Hilfers, who warned the members TO
be chary of any action taken by the
New Jersey Chamber of Commerce,
which body favored the bill last year
and which is making an investigation
of the subject again. He also suggest
ed that the labor men keep their eye
peeled for any action looking to lower
the wage exemption limit in the gar
nishee bill.
The report dealing with the COM
pensation law and carrying proposed
amendments as set forth at a confer
ence of the American Association for
Labor, which took place at the Wash
ington, was read by Secretary Hill
fers. and after concurring the dele
gates decided that further action
be left to the executive committee Of
the State Federation of Labor. Among
the salient features set forth are: To
have the law administered by COM
pensation bureau to be created with
in the department of labor instead OF
having the courts deal with them.
This matter was only tentatively
agreed upon, and will he taken up at
