Battalions of Dock Laborers.

As further indicating what has been
done to secure labor needed in connec-
s3on with the war. there have been or
ganfzed under the army hattalions of
dock laborers at Liverpool, London and
other ports In London alone there
are said to be not less thau 10000 DICK
workers in the army engaged in dock
work. These battaIions are sent where
needed to assist in unloading ships.
While at WORK they receive the regu-
lar workers pay in addition to their
army pay.
Under the munitions act there has
been organized national advisory COM
mittee on war output. composed of
seven labor representatives. this COM
mittee to receive complaints from labor
with regard to the carrying out of the
munitions act" the bulletin concludes.
Under this central committee there
have been established more than sew
enty local committees In these COM
mittees there are only labor men.
There has been no Limitation of the
hours of labor in plants. but the policy
has been followed of continuing sucn
hours as are usual in each business.
To train women and unskilled men
classes have been formed at tecaalcal
schools. Also groups of UNFRAMED EN-
ployes have been placed in plants I'M
der skilled men"

Three Fundamental Changes.

Three Fundamental changes in labor
conditions were Brought about, it is
stated. In certain classes of plants
strikes are not lawful; in such plants
increases in wages may be asked only
TO offset increased cost of living. and
the restrictions by labor unions against
the so-called ''dilution of labor" by the
employment of women and unskilled la :
Dor have been laid aside for the war.
Also restrictions upon an individuals
output.
When men went to the front women
wanted to take their places in the fac
tory. but union rules forbade the en-
ployment of women on many kinds of
work. These rules were relaxed upon
certain conditions, it is stated, and more
than one million and a half of women
have. in consequence, been put upon
mems work.
All persons are forbidden to employ
men within six weeks after they have
left work. unless the man has .leav-
ing certificate" from the last employer
stating that he left with the employers
consent. If such leaving certificates
are unreasonably refused. the NUM-
tons tribunal may issue certificate hav-
ing the same effect and impose fine
upon the manufacturer who refused
the certificate.

ALARM WORKS ALL RIGHT,
BUT BURGLARS GET AWAY
Messenger Boys Watch Outside and
Fail to Notify Police-other
Robberies Are Reported.

Two messenger boys went to the
store of D. N. Walford, 909 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Tuesday night at 1887
O'Clock, in response to the sounding OF
burglar alarm. and remained there
until an employe opened the store yes
terday morning. Burglars were in the
store while the boys watched on the
outside, and an examination OF the
stock disclosed the disappearance OF
revolvers of different makes and sew
is valued at s130.50. Detective
O'Brien, who made an investigation OF
the robbery. was informed that the
boys saw nothing of the intruders and
took it for granted that no burglars
were on the premises. 1t was for that
reason that they failed to notify the
police in time for them to apprehend
the burglars. In order to gain entrance
to the premises the burglars climbed
to a rear window on the third floor
by taking hold of iron bars covering
windows on the lower floors, jimmied
door leading to the lower floors and
succeeded in reaching the store.
