 wORKMs@.?

George Lansbury. who has made name for him self as sane leader of English labor. asked recently avhat is the matter with the laboring men of Great Britan?~ The question has been asked since the European war began whenever English laborng men demanded better pay or improved conditions and es- pecally when some of them have struck to enforce their demands.

 I.ansbury says the British unions not against the war but would welcome honorable peace; that. while there are scores of thousands of British work inrmeu in the British army now the workingmen are being cursed because they do not enlist but the work irgmen cannot work and fight too."
 There are certain classes in England" says Lans- bury "that are. trying amid the excitement of the war to take from the workingman the rights they have gained during years of struggle, but the workingmen are determined to hold these rights at whatever cost So there arc men and classes Of men in America who are tryng to work up war scare-and would even pro yoke war; for the purpose of disacng the attention os the American people from political and economic questions that demand settlement

Conference Held Today On United States Prepar-
 edness Bill

Washington, April 27AIt is expect cd the first meeting of the Senate and House conferees on the Army Preparedness Bi1 VIII take place to- day. That this conference win last two and perhaps three weeks is the prediction made by some. The diff army which should be authorized are so wide between the Senate conferees and a majority of the House represep- tation that it will take some time to straighten them out, and bring in a. report which will receive the sup port of both branches.
 While nothing is known as to the feeling among the conferees, it is gen. orally accepted that the number of men to compose the regular army will be a kcompron1ise between the 25O3- O0O force carried in the Senate bill and the 14o. .0O0 provided in the meas ure as it passed the House Some members claimed that the strength of the standing army in time Of peace would be finally fixed at 170,OOO
 The original figures brought forth by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate military affairs committed were for 175.O00 men. He accepted the amendment for 25O, 900 largely for trading purposes, it is understood. The Federal Reserve he regards as desira- bIe. and he believes the National Guard under strfcter supervision by the war department can be made far more effective than now.
 In view of the fact that the five conferees on the part of the Senate Chamberlain, Beckham, Broussard, DuPont and Warren=are all regarded as big army men, their influence will be pitted against the three conferees on the part of the House-Hay, Den tants Kahn The latter favors a large increase in the standing army.
