BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. ID
The American Federation of La
Dor is preparing to urge the gov
eminent, as a war measure, to
take a positive stand against the
"open shop" and to insist upon
the employment of union men
wherever possible on government
work., 1t was learned from COM
mittee chairmen and federation
leaders here today.
The men believe that such a
concession is due organized labor
in return for its action in calling
off all strikes affecting war work.

How organized labor turnout
Great Britain has battled in the
cause of worldwide democracy,
both in the trench and in no less
complete industrial service at
home, was told the delegates of
the Federation today by John Hill
of the British Trade Union con-
gress.
The patriotic moves of the Brit
ish were started by the labor
unions, he said, stating that after
the declaration of war there were
so many of them trying to enlist
the government requested unions
to exert their influence to keep
the men in civilian life at the
shipyards, factories and munition
plants.

He told of the feeling of unrest
and discomfort that showed itself
in the English and Scotch shops
during the early months of the
war; of the Investigations by COM
missions to their causes and the
better understanding that finally
resulted In speeding up production
until the government has felt the
necessity of stepping In to restrain
the speeding-up process permitted
by organized labor to win the war.
Speaking OF the United States
entrance into the war, Hill said:

can hospital this afternoon.
The defective child has become
practically paralyzed and its

rifles, pistols and machine guns
for Uncle Sans army is being

For In these towns to say that

two new guns. Both have been

The new weapons will be put
into the field against Germany AT

Browning comes from an old

AS a young man he was a great
hunter, going off into the woods
for month or six weeks at a
time, with only his gun for COM

He was only "a when he work
ed out his ideas for a gun carry

which could be fired rapidly in

He pounded out the parts for
his first rapid-fire gun with ham

Since that time, pump and
l"trombone" shotguns, automatic
pistols, rapid-fire rifles produced
by the biggest firearms manufac-
turers in the country hvae been
Browning products.

For airplane work, where the fir
