Ever since the Russian revolution he

tion, but they are delaying the navy's
transport program, and, more impor-
tant than all, they have made i'm
possible any steps for the commence
ment of the progress for the great
new destroyer feet.
The Department does not wholly
blame the workers. 1t is known that
practical agreement between the strik-
Crs and the shipbuiders around New
York has been reached a half dozen
times. only to be kicked over by
last minute refusals by the owners Of
the yards.
Owners After Profits.
1t has been charged in some quar-
ters that the yard owners are endeav-
oring to force the government to COM
mandeer their yards. They believe
that they could go to the Court of
Claims and sue for profits which they
have been making. but which they
fear they cannot continue to make
under the latest arrangements with
the government.
Three great government departments
are now engaged in trying to settle
the strikes. A joint board represent
ing the War and Navy departments
is now engaged in standardiZing the
wages in all navy yards and arsenals
on the basis of like pay for like work
in neighboring private plants. This
plan is entirely agreeable to the work
ers in government plants, and it was
not believed here last night that they
could be persuaded under any circum-
stances to join the strikers in private
employ.
Department of Labor Busy.
At the same time the Department of
Labor is renewing its efforts to bring
the men back to work in the private
plants. 1t was said here that about
12,C00 men had already cult work, and
that the reminder had agreed not to
walk out until James i. Hughes, spe-
cial mediator of the department, has
had try at their difficulties.
Should all the men in the private
plants walk out their action might de-
lay the whole program of the war by
making the dispatch of troops to
France on scheduled time impossible.
1t was stated here last night that
the trouble in the shipyards was not
believed to be attributable to German
agents, though it was admitted that
the connections of all concerned in the
strike are being closely scrutinized.

Washington. - Legislation to give

control is now in the hands of con
gress.
Power is asked for the government
not only to supervise production. but
to deal with distribution TO insure a
fair supply of food to every part OF
the country at reasonable prices.
The food situation, officials realize.
presents one of the most serious prob.

during the war. The United States
faces feeding not only its own popu-
lation on a small food reserve and
poor crop prospects. but supplying. as
far as possible. too, the allies Ad-
ministration heads are bending every
effort towards convincing the country
OF the need for greater production and
for rigid. food economies.
The department of agriculture IS
building up an organization of state
and county boards through which to
reach both producer and consumer in
every corner of the country In this
work it is calling on experts for ad-

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
It is Now Confined Chiefly to Profess
SIGNALS, Drunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing. as far as most people are
concerned. is a lost art. Thousands
attend operas. recitals and musical
comedies. tens Of thousands wind up
monographs: but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people Of all ranks sang together
as a matter Of course. Sailors sang It
their work, peasants. shepherds. cow
boys-all had their favorite and APP
propriate songs. The songs Of chill
d-en at games. the lullabies Of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore OF many peoples, says the In
dianapolis News.
1.-THE pastimes and the labOrs Of the
husbandman and the shepherd says
Andrew Lang. were long ago a kind
of natural opera. Each task had its
own song; blowing. seeding, harvest,
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul Of the
peasant class breathes in their bur
dens as the great sea resounds in the
shell cast up on the shore
Nowadays the whirl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfying TO sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even If their voices could
be heard; while singing in an Office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the boss" or the police. Thou
sands congregate every night in the
silence of moving picture theaters, and
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen in
silence to a paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely coz
