WAR LIFE IN EUROPE
HAS CHANGED MEN

VIENNA, June 23.-The general
state of belligerency in Europe has
not only modified the material course
OF life, but has had such an influence
on the psychology of the public that
after two years, state of war has
become an almost normal condition,
according to a woman contributor 70
prominent Polish newspaper.
The constant presence of the
thought of war is the great condition
of the day, and to win it the prime OBJ
ject, has in the course of the past few
years given a secondary place to the
interests of the masses, she said, so
that now the loss of relatives on the
battlefield is no longer associated with
the self of person but with the will
o fthe aggregate to win. For this also
sacrifices of material nature are
made, whose rendering NO other cause
or demand could hope to achieve.
While the war is not as yet looked
upon exactly as normal state in
which continent ought to find itself,
there is striking stole indifference
about it, in many respects. There is
OF course still keen desire that
peace may come soon, but coupled to
it inseparably is a grim determination
to show that the Central Power group
cannot be effaced
Fine weather and reassuring crop
reports from all of the empire have
served to heighten the impression
here that all is we'll. Vienna and
Budapest are close to their habitual

Let's give it with prayer.
Four hundred million souls to save!
Let us on Bonded knees
Give thanks that with our bounty
We can save the lost Chinese.

With no hope, no help at all.
Oh, what a glorious privilege!

Let's give our money and our prayers
To help our Chinese brothers!

Contrastando con la actitud Sc
rena y reposada del Gobierno de
los Estados Unidos y con ell des-
apasionamiento y ecuanimidad de
los 6rganos imparciales de ia OPT
nion p1blica en- este pals, los pc
riodicos que estan bajo ell control
de Hearst han emprendido con-
ira Mexico y su Gobierno una
campana tan ruin como infame.
Cualquier rumor que viene de
nuestro pals, y que puede ser des-
favorable, es hinchado, abultado,
exagerado escandalosamente y
presentado q la curiosidad publ
ca en- forma y manera que no pue-
de menos de causar desagrado.
Los canards su suceden, uno tras

de funcionarios y jefes militares
mexicanos completamente agre-
sivos para los Estados Unidos.
No importa que despues venga el
parrafillo medroso, vergonzante,
medic oculto entire ell material pc
riodistico, por medic del cual Sc
desmienten las falsas noticias y
las declaraciones apocrifas; pues
ell efecto esta logrado, la mala

SHIP BUILDERS ORGANIZE.

Baltimore - Over 1000 unorganized
ship builders employed by the Baltimore
Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Company
struck to enforce better working condi-
ticns and shorter hours. Then they or
ganized. A conference was arranged,
and the company agreed that a per
cent wage increase would become effec-
tive not later than September 30. and
arother per cent increase not later than
January /, with fiftyhour week on the
later date, or earlier if work now in the
yard is completed
All strikers will return to their former
positions, and the company agrees not
to discriminate because of union affilia-
ton and to hereafter receive committees
to discuss grievances.

that this plan means an indefinite post
ponement of the employees claims.
The resolutions provide that both the
railroad managers and employees defer

state commerce commission is able to
complete its investigations and make its
report-a suggestion that will be emf
nently satisfactory to the railroads, as
the commission would be instructed to
go thoroughly into the question of min
imum, maximum, and average wage paid
with hours of service to each class of
railroad employees in the United States
and so far as they are comparable, the
minimum, maximum, and average with
hours of service paid in other indus
tries where similar skill and risk are in
volved, the relation of wages to railroad
revenues, the question of whether rail-
road revenues based on existing rates
for transportation will admit of equally
favorable terms of all classes of railroad
employees, and any other matter in this
connection that the commission may
deem relevant"

INJUNCTION RULE OPPOSED

; Detroit, Mich - President Gompers
was the principal speaker at mass
meeting of trade unionists called for the
purpose of agitating against injunction
rule in times of strike. Organized work
ers in this State are circulating petitions
to place on the ballot constitutional
amendment against this evil, which was
summarized by President Gompers as
follows:
at is all for one purpose-that is, to
endeavor to clothe tyranny and injustice
of employers in the form of law, to
break the spirit of protest, to prevent the
workers from organizing, to prevent the
workers from the constitutional right of
ownership in themselves and to try to
tie them to their task"
A parade preceded the mass meeting,
and these inscriptions on banners indi-
Gated the spirit of protesting unionists :

the Stetson Hat Company have voted to
return to work, accepting the agreement
made possible by Robert McWade, repre-

and was the elimination of continued
dissatisfaction because of working con-

improve conditions and receive commit

AS an indication of conditions that
formerly existed, President. Cummings,
