hear what some of the mattresses in
the qUick-lUnch restaurants have to
say? How about a few basement
clerks from State street? Haven't
you got any girls in Chicago who
work in factories? Why aren't they
here?"
But the quick-lunch counter work
ers and factory girls were not forth
coming from whoever had arranged
the program of witnesses.
The subcommittee had only one
day to sit, and Rep. Carter had hard
time squeezing in, late in the day, a
few witnesses in favor of the eight
hour law.
Carriers witnesses, women who
worked ten hours a day and got no
5000 per salaries, were all for the
eight-hour day-strong. They told
of instances where the health of
young women was broken down and
they became nervous wrecks, unfit
for work of motherhood.
There. were a few boomerangs
among the carefuly-chosen reg
ular" witnesses. Mrs. Fairbanks,
head of Chicago Lying-In hospital,
told the committee that an eight
hour law was "a very necessary
thing" that it would mean better
health for the women it affected.
'The nervous strain of a long work.
ing day is highly injurious to a wOm-
an, - she said.
E. J. Barlow, sec'y of the Ger
lach-Barklow Co., calendar makers
Of Joliet, H., spoke against an eight
hour day, but in favor of a 48-hour
week. He thought it would be bet

have a half day on Saturday. He re-
minded the committee that a ten.

'LUNDE TENDERS
RESIGNATION
To Take Circuit Parish In
Northern Part Of
North Dakota

Rev. A. NJ. Lunde, Norwegian
United Lutheran minister of Chris
tine, Richland and Colfax parishes,
has rendered his resignation to take
effect Dec. /.
Rev. Mr.. Lunde has been one Of
the diligent ministers in the United
church. He is one Of the members of
the board Of council Of Concordia
college, Moorhead, and has done good
work in behalf of that institution. He
has also been interested in the pro-
gressive hospital work in connection
with the Lutheran hospital at Wah-
peton.
Mrs. Lunde, who is a graduate
trained nurse, has been a most eft1-
cient co-worker with the pastor in
all his engagements.
Rev. Mr.. Lunde has been doing ac-
tive work in the eastern part OF
North Dakota for the past 10 years.
1t is understood that he. will take a
circuit parish in the northern part
of North Dakota. such parish being
arranged by the new missionary
board which is an amalganation OF
the United Hauge and Synod boards
of missions.
The amalgamation of the various
syHods in the Norwegian Lutheran
church is a subject of deep interest
at this time for the reason that 1t
involves so many ministerial changes
and the reorganization Of the in
dividuaI churches, which is an ex-
ceedingly slow process. OF course,
war conditions and the general con-
centration Of the parishioners being
centered, at this time, on domestic
and commercial affairs, hinders a
rapid advancement Of the situation
denominationally.

MondStir, Is "Worse Than
Verdun Says French Officer
Who Was On Petdin S staff

Monastir, Serbia, Oct. 7.-(Staff
Correspondence OF The Associated
Press sl-This rnartyred city Of the
Serbs, under continuous lombard
ment from the Bulgar batteries only
two miles away, was visited for the
first time today by a civilian. on
orders issued by General Grosetti,
commander chief on the Monastir
front of the army OF the orient 1t
is seldom that a press dispatch goes
from Serbia these days, for practical
ly the whole country has been swept
clean by the Austro- -Bulgar hordes,
and only this little corner in the
southwest, retaken last November,
is holding out against the terrific
bombardment.
1T is worse than verdun," said
Lieutenant Colonel Dosse of the
staff, who was on General Petain's
staff at Verdun during the worst
days.
Monastir lies in a cup-like hollow,
and by reason OF its being on Serbian
soil it is the center of the bitterest
strife between Serb and Bulgar. 1t
was one of the last points abandoned
by the Serbs in their exodus before
the rush of the Austrians in 1915.
The Bulgars held il last year through
August. Then the new Serbian army,
reorganized, gave their first attention
to getting back this city. But their
newness was against them and they
were badly repulsed. But in Oc-
tober the Serbs got their revenge
making a mass attack with the
French and Russian divisions.
Bloody Battle.
This fight OF Serb against Bulgar
was one of the bloodiest of the war.
The Serb took the strategic key of
Mount Naturalization, which today
marks the burying place OF 10000
Bulgars. Monastir was again taken,
but the Austro Bulgars still held on
only three miles north and west Of
the city, General Grosetti cleared
them from the northern hills in a
brilliant attack last March, when the
famous Hill 1,24S was taken. But
they clung to the western hills, and
there they are today raining down
their shells on the old Serbian town.
Ii used to have $4,000 population;
now it has 5000 living in cellars.
Entering the city, by the street
through the poor quarter, there were
signs OF life, despite the rumble of
the guns. Little girls ran along the
street with jars of water on their
heads, carrying fresh water to the
people imprisoned in the cellars. All
the shops were closed or abandoned.
Many Of the front walls were ripped

Head Of English Mission At
Conference of Employ
ers and Employees
CONSCRIPTION WAS
NOT NECESSARY
Greatest Blunder Was In
Sending Skilled Work
men To The Front
~ Assoclatad Press.l

New York, Nov. 10.-Members OF
! the British ministry of munitions at
a conference here today with manu-
facturers in the oil, leather and rub
Der trades told how Great Britain
has treated the labor problem since
the outbreak of the war. The confer
ence is the first of a series in this
city with employers and employees in
all lines Of industry. #..
sir Stephenson Kent, head Of the
mission said Great Britain blundered
at the beginning OF the war IN sending
so many skilled workers to the front.
Employers associations and trades
unions then agreed to the munitions
act. The unions agreed to abandon
all restrictive operations for the
period of the war so that employers
could make use of any kind Of laboR
in any kind of employment.
Women and unskilled workers
may replace skilled craftsmen to
facilitate work." he said. "Wages are
fixed definitely. 1t was made illegal
to strike or demand an increase In
pay during the war and all labor dis
putes must be presented to the min
lister OF munitions. ......
1T was made unlawful for one
employer to entice, men from anoth-
er through promise Of higher pay.
The profits OF the employers were
definitely fixed"
1t was explained that If guns were
the need of the moment. then skill
ed labor was sent to the arsenals
and ordnance factories. II ships were
the chief need, these same men went
to the shipyards.
In no case, Sir Stephenson said,
did the government adopt any sys-
tenn OF labor conscription. To at
tempt to compel labor to work any
where the British considered unwise
and the government relied upon pub
lie opinion to put the munitions act
through, he stated.

Will Refuse To
Recognize The
New Government

A Pacific Port, Nov. 10.--Admiral
Koltschek, former commander sof the
Russian Baltic fleet and head Of a
Russian naval commission that has
been visiting in Washington with
government of1ciaIs for several
weeks, said today that he and his
fellow commissioners would In no
case support the Lenine government,
but would report to the government
represented BY KerensSy. on reaching
Russia.
II believe this Is only another
transitory event., he said in refer
ence to the Petrograd revolution.
"and think al right-minded RUS
slams will soon come 70 their senses.
The admiral added that he felt
convinced that this was not the end
OF kerenssy's government by any
means.

out, and the abandoned stock scat
tered about. Almost every third
house was down-a mass OF debris.
Those between were askew, with q
cornice or wing blown off, or the up
per story torn out, or a huge round
hole in front showing where a shot
had cut through before exploding. A
tlimbled down cafe showed several
men at the tables. '"They take
chances" said Colonel Dosse, 'but
when an explosion comes they scuttle
to the cellars"
No Sign Of Street.
The business section had lost all
semblance 20 streets with houses. 1t
was one long stretch of blackened
heaps Of debris, with jagged wall
or chimney sticking up here and
there.
Besides the destruction, the killed,
scattered through the past summer,
runs into the hundreds. Shell-fire
and falling walls have not been alone
in running up the death list, for the
Bulgars send wave of asphyxiating
gas every time the wind is favor
able. .-r
The run from army headquarters
to Monastir gave the opportunity of
seeing the vast military preparation
on this front. Four American ambu-
lance cars also were passed bringing
sick and wounded from the Monastir
front
The camp of equipment and engi-
neering supplies stretches for four
miles along the route, with vast
stores of munitions and stores,
trench and railway material. Sol
diers, prisoners, horses, mules and
camels were sending up great clouds
of dust, and the nearby cornfields
had turned grey with the dust Of
this legion of workers who keep
pushing the supplies up to the fight
ing front. The approach of winter
is evident, for winter barracks are
being constructed of wood and CORFU
gated iron, and great stacks of fuel
are being laid In.
Everything on the Monastir front
indicates that the entente forces are
here to stay. There is no evidence
OF withdrawal, and every evidence Of
holding what they already havei and
pushing further forward. Monastir
itself has been freed of Bulgars but
the city is still under the fire of their
guns and the task still remains of
clearing them from this outpost of
the Serbs-the last they left and the
first they recovered.

LRv Aasoclated Press,l

Washington, Nov. 10.-Plans for
continuing the Liberty Loan finance
ing between periods of intensive
campaigns, through disposal OF bonds
by banks and other large purchasers
to individuals who have not already
subscribed to the extent of their
ability, were formulated yesterday by
governors of the twelve district re-
serve banks i'm conference with Sec
retary McAdoo and the federal re-
serve board.
AS one detail OF comprehensive
scheme for preparing the nation to
absorb other war loans, the reserve
hanks will urge that member banks
dispose Of Liberty Bonds now held
by them. trying particularly to place
them with farmers. To assist in this
movement, the governors suggested
that the government maintain an ac-
tive publicity system to emphasize
the need OF bond buying by persons
OF small means.
