The appearance Of the cabinet min

crowd at midnight in which they ex-
planned the meaning of the recent

abating the antagonism of the rank

the afternoon marched with banners
demanding the resignation of Foreign
Minister Alilukoff. The words of the
ministers were roundly cheered at
times and there was almost no un-
friendly feeling in evidence.

UNION MEN WHO STRIKE DURING WAR ARE 'kAISER'S
 ScABS, SASY SEC. WILSON

San Francisco, Nov. 17.-Laboring men should himself weigh the advan- tages to be gained by victory or the loss through failure before casting his vote on deciding to strike at the behest of party leaders, Secretary of Labor Wilson declared in a speech before the labor council last night. Striking is a last resort, he remark ed and should be invoked only when all other recourse fails.
 Then he likened the United States to a gigantic union, forced to go on strike against the kaiser. q am sure not laborins man is going to scab," said Wilson. He then recom- mended arbitration to to adjustment. presupposing a willingness of both parties to be reasonable.

 Engineer Regiment Takes Over
 French Strategic RaiIway-Ger-
 man Aeroplanes Attack Supply
 Train at Night-Force American
 Crew Under Engine.
 Somewhere. in France"
 September 18th. 1917. An American regiment of engineers recruited frcm western railways has the honor of being the first American contingent to get into active service on a French sector of the western front. They have taken over an i'm portant line of the French strategic railways, and by night and day are hauling tons upon tons of ammuni- ton and other supplies to the French army units operating against the Germans.
 The American regiment has been handed over as a unit to the French and is getting all its supplies except clothing from the French Govern ment. The engineers entered upon their work with the greatest enthusi- asm and already have been under German bombs and machine gun fire from aeroplanes.
 Within the past few nights a heavy train of supplies hurrying to- ward the front was attacked by sev- eral enemy aeroplanes. None of | the bombs came dangerously close, but every time the fire-box of the en- | zine was opened for stoking the aero planes swooped down upon the train and spatted it with steel-iacketed bullets. This fire got so hot that eventually the train was stopped, the crew taking refuge under the engine. Relating their experiences afterwards, these trainmen rather | "swanked' about it over their inex- perienced brothers. The spirit of adventure is strong throughout the American ranks, and the engineers so far unbombed are openly jealous of their more fortunate" comrades so far none of the regiment has been under shell fire, but as the line runs we'll within the artillery zone at several places they may yet have taste of the noisy German 5.9s, Whisling Percies., Woody Bears and Whizbangs.
 The regiment was recruited from American railways, and all classes, train operators, despatchers and so forth are included in its ranks. There is great spirit of comrade- ship among the officers and men, most of whom worked together and knew each other for years. The regiment is. known as an operating unit, as opposed to engineers, who are enlisted as construction units.
 Before proceeding to the front. this regiment was quartered in a pretty little French town within the zone of the French armies Their arrival in this town was kept a se- cret. They marched into the place late one night after all the liehts were extinguished. The soldiers were not allowed to smoke, strike matches or say a word. Despite this stealthy entrance, however. the French townspeople knew quckly of the arrival, and soon the streets were filled with quiet throng which joined in among the Ameri. cans and paraded with them arm in arm. It was one of the strongest welcomes any troops probably ever received anywhere, but it was at the same time one of the most sincere

MORE MARINES WANTED.

Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 19, 1917. Editor Copper Era,
 Dear Sir:
 The T.. s. NJ. corps is again accepting fer enlistment as many men as poSSi- hle. The Corps has for some time been at full war strength, and but a select few of the many applicants have been accepted. This is ''two-in-one" branch of service, both land and sea. Marines are trained both as soldiers and sailors, and are the real first line of defense and protectors of the Mon- roe Doctrine. No finer military or ganization exists in the world is the verdict of the best critics, Dewey, Daniels, French, Roosevelt and many others.
 Enlistments are for the period of the war, and the pay and opportuni, ties for advancement are excellent At present the only way to gain commission is through the ranks. will be glad to give information or send literature to anyone who ap- plys, either in person or by letter.
 Respectfully,
 R. F. BIAACKMAN,
 Sergeant |. s. NJ. C.
