 '"The bond will be given without re- serve; but those who may see service will receive such aid as, in the dis cretion of the officers of the company they may seem to need.
 Tt is not going to be possible to make and follow fixed plan, but the company will do it's best to be helpful to employees who have been in it's ser vice for more than two years It Is possible, however. to say definitely that if the company is in normal condi- tion at the close of the war positions will be given to employees who return"

Make Plans to Queu
Further Strike Moves

Amsterdam, April 26.-The recent
strike movement in Germany was dis
cussed at a meeting of the Reichstag
auxiliary service committee at which
Count Westharp, leader Of the con-
servatives, welcomed Gen. Groener's
declaration that further attempts to
interfere with munition work would
be ruthlessly suppressed. Count West
harp insinuated that money had play
ed part in the strike and accused
the socialist minority of playing the
game of Germany's enemies. He de-
MED that the trouble was caused by
lack of food. The socialists indig-
nantly denied the insinuation that
brides had been used, and placed the
blame for the strike on the admins
tration Of the Spandau works, the fact
that the bread ration had been de-
creased, and the agrarian policy. One
speaker declared that the agrarians,
owing to the high price of cattle, fed
them with bread and corn, which the
munition workers could not obtain.
