deal through the American trade union movement he said.
 A fundamental principle of labor is militancy, he said even if some o1 labor's foes in the so-called work tmen's council be not aware of it.. When it ceases to be militant 1t ceases to exist, he continued.
 Organized Labor Loyal.
 American organized labor is loyal to America, loyal to the core,' said Mr. Gompers. "It is loyal to democ- racy, within our nation as well as without, and there is in America to- day no more potent force for democ- racy than the organized labor move n1ent.
 And we are going to do our best to rout the enemies of America and democracy, whether they are within or without. It is painful to have to say that there are so many within, but it is fact.
 "This so-called workmen's council Is anti-American and pro-German, as is it's parent, the so-called peoples council This I say deliberately. I see no point at which the German kaiser could find any fault with either of these precious Potsdamistic and Lenineistic organizations. And you may believe me when I say that the American labor movement is not in agreement with the German kaiser nor with the pernicious propaganda of the Lenines, and neither it is go- ing to remain inactive while inf1u- ences of that kind seek to divide our nation and help destroy our liberties. We will fight such contemptible treacherous efforts-fght, fight, fight them to the bitter end.

Y OSI11A NEWS |BERLIN-MERIDEN ! ROAD COMPLETED
Said to Be One of the Best in kA the State
YENTRES WILL WRESTLE
Inspection of Home Guard "Non- Coms'' Held at Bristol.-Earle Lew
 
 ], is Receives Aseienment.-Amer \ Paper Goods Outing-''Do It Now.'

! The road which has been under con- struction for some months between Berlin and the Meriden town line was opened up for travel yesterday. Ac- cording to reports of those who have hnd the pleasure of making the trip between the two towns the road must be one of the best in the state. It Is constructed of solid concrete which has been smoothed on top and is six teen feet in width. It is state high way and was built at the expense of the state.
 The contract was let last winter to ,-keonard Suzio who as soon as spring came began work with a large force of workmen. The work was slow be- cause of the great amount of exca- vating which had to be done to get q foundation for the new highway. About two months ago MT. Suzio an nounced that the work would be f1n- ished in three weeks. Just at that tffhe about 40 or 50 of his best work men concluded that they wanted to join the army. Accordingly they left for New York, where some enlisted here while others sailed for their na- tive land.
 The fact that the road is finished
  autoists who pass that way. Under the former conditions they were forced tN detour about two miles in order to reach Meriden. Adding insult to in- jury, the detour was over some rough roads. To reach the silver city now the tourist will be welcomed by the sight of a good, straight, smooth road.
 Leonard Suzio, who had charge of the work, has just accepted another contract in Massachusetts which will take two and one-half years to con- plete. His men and machinery will move there in a few days.
 Ventres Accepts Challenge.
 Albert Ventres, the well-known To- cal mat artist this morning informed ed the press that he would accept the challenge issued yesterday through the columns of this paper by Flavy Benjamin. known in the athletic world as Kid Benjamin. He stated that he would meet him anywhere or un- der any conditions.
 Some time ago Benjamin sent a let ter to the local man in which he chal- lenged Ventres to a match. Ventres this morning admitted that he re- ceived the missive but at the time was so busy that he forgot to answer. His attention was called to the challenge last evening and he is now willing to make reparation.
 young Benjamin is Plainville boy. but has been in Chicago for a number of years where he engaged in he is conceded to be the 1855 pound champion of the country.

You may say," said Mr. qompers, with sharp emphasis, that the Amer ican labor movement Is not represent ed by any one or any agency except itself, and the claims of alleged coun- cils to representing labor are as pre- posterous and ridiculous and treach- erous as any other phase of their ac- tivities.'

the club which the trust holds over
the head of the actor, for the actor
knows that if his name appears on
this blacklist he cannot obtain any
work until these six agents remove
his name from this typewriter list.
1t was not to be thought that men
and women brought up with Amer
lean ideas of liberty, with TUdimen-
taTy ideas of justice, would stand this
without protest, and it was because
Of these and other injustices pTac-
tiCed on them that the actor and act
ress joined the White Rats Actors
union in thousands.
Directly the White Rats Actors
union became strong and powerful,
the managers advertised publicly, in
total disregard Of the Sherman anti
trust law, or Of any laws and statutes
against conspiracy, that on and after
Oct. 81, 1916, they would not book
any actor or actress who was a mem
Der of the White Rats Actors union
or Associated Actresses of America.
Those organizations being secret,
it was difficult for the managers to
find out who were members, and so,
to avoid making any mistakes, every
vaudeville actor and actress in the
country, to obtain work, has to swear
an affidavit that they are not mem
bers of the White Rats, or, if they
were, that they have resigned. And,
to make assurance dOUbly sure, the
managers stamp on the contract:
The actors who are parties to this
contract hereby warrant and guar
antee that they are not members of
the White Rats Actors union, and if
this warranty is found to be incOr-
rect that they may be discharged at
any moment
These wholly Un-American pro-
.ceedings could not be allowed to go
on unchecked, and the White Rats
Actors union, after repeated letters
asking for a conference were left I'M

bring about a conference with a sim
liar failure, there was nothing left

strike.
And the first blow was delivered on
Monday night in Boston, when the
BOwdOin Square, the Washington
Square and the Olympia, Boston,
were closed and the big HippOdrOme,
Lynn, Mass, which seats $500 peO-
pie, was also shut because our men,
bers refused to work.
Only one actor in all these theaters
refused to obey the strike order We
knew we had 100 per cent of the bur
lesque actors in our organization, we
knew we had 100 per cent of the cir
Gus actors, but we only claimed 80
per cent of the vaudeville actors, and
yet SO per cent of the actors Obeyed
the call.
And even now, when we have
shown own strength in aristOcratic,
cultured old Boston, we still are will
ing to arbitrate.
Whether this strike will reach Chi
cagO or not, it is impossible for me to
say today.

WHAT CAUSED FOOD sHoRTAcE1

Herbert Hoover, u. s. Food Admin
istrator, says there have been two
principal reasons to account for the
present food shortage. First, the "un-
kindness of nature" including the lato
spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con-
ditions of rainfall, unexpected frosts
and periods of intense heat in sections
throughout the world.
Second, he gives reduced produc-
tivity of the soil in Europe" Concern
ing this, Hoover says: "This condi-
ton has been bT6ught about by bad
management, und&9lled work, and lack
Of fertilizers; an these in turn can
be explained by withdrawal Of men
from farm and "a to army and fac
tory, and the end 1oyment on the soil
Of overworked men, unskilled old
men and listleaq prisoners Further
more the vicioul ubmarine has sunk
boat after boa& Rlled with nitratsa
and fertilizers, SAspiring to augment
the pauperizatiog 4 the earth, 90 that
reduction in scil eoductivity was in
| evitable."

SCHOOL NOTES

Donald Breckenridge, formerly the
driver of an ammunition truck in
France, gave very helpful and in
teresting talk to the high school last
week.
Wadsworth put it over on us again,
Thanksgiving day, and they may well
be proud, for Medina isn't so easy.
The score, 60, proved close game.
M. H. S. is O. K. and we give them a
rousing three cheers. The football
season is over-what can the high
school offer in the way of athletics for
the next five months? Or do we get
free access and an open path to the
pool rooms and other general and US
ual hang-outs?
"A splendid crowd of enthusiastic
Thanksgiving vacationists were at the
dance at Chippewa Lake last Friday
night. Out-of-town dance halls and
parties seem to be heavenly haven
for M. H. s. people. Alas! would
that we had aNgym or a decent audi
tOrium.
Notice the knitted quilt in the win
dow of Fuller's store. Rather nifty,
is it not? Yes, some Of the pupils
in the Garfield building scraped up the
yarn and knitted the blocks. We are
all doing our bit-"be it ever so
humble" e"-even the little kiddies Of the
third and fourth grades.
A number of Ohio State people( for
ever members of M. H. S.) were great
ly in evidence around the halls during
the last week end. Their Alma Mat
er is always glad to welcome them.
