GOVERNORS URGE BOND
 PURCHASES

WASHINGTON. May 19.-There will be no official announcement of subscriptions to the liberty loan until the subscription books close June 15. No official statement of the amount subscribed at any period prior to that date will be made public by the treas ury department, and officials will exert themselves to see that no accurate un- official estimates are obtainable.
 In announcing this decision today officials stated that it would be phy- sically impossible to give out any to- tals until June 15.
 The number of subscribers, how ever, will be officially announced from time to time. Officials want 'tremend. ous oversubscription and to announce that the bonds had been nearly sub- scribed, it is felt, might result in a falling off of subscriptions thereafter.
 Encouraging reports from all sec tions were received by the treasury department today
 Governors of the following states have agreed to have the slogan your patriotic duty-buy a liberty bond printed on envelopes: Colorado. Wis consin, Pennsylvania, Florida, Nebras- ka, Mississippi, Tennessee, Indiana Connecticult. Kansas. Rhode Island, North Dakota, Vermont, North Carol ina and New Jersey.

EXEMPTION FUR LABOR
 SUGGESTED
(By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Exemp- tion from army conscription for workers necessary for munitions manufacture and for production of articles needed to maintain the civil ian population was urged by Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor in a statement today pointing to Great Britain's mis- take in taking into the fighting forces thousands of men who afterward had to be returned to the manufacturing industries.
 "The fundamental demand which labor makes in connection with the conscription act" said MT. Gompers. ''is that representatives of wage earn- CTS must be upon every board. na- tional. state and local. which has to do with the administration of the law. This demand is in accord with the methods found necessary in Great Britain and is founded upon justice and democracy. The wage earners will be vitally affected by selectice conscription and they ought to have representatives in such strategic posi- tions.
 The spirit of labor in the nations emergency has been generous and patriotic They must be met in the same spirit of fairness and co-opera- ton by both the government and the employers that the ideals of our re- public may be maintained in the con test which we are engaged"

 To Preuent Strikes
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Legisla- tion to prevent future railway strikes was proposed to congress today by Secetary Wilson of the labor depart ment A commission of nine to fix wage rates on all railroads for three periods was suggested.
 A bill submitted provides uniform pay on all roads engaged in inter state commerce and in the District of Columbia and provides heavy pen alties for railroads paying more or less than rates prescribed.
 The system aims to eliminate all strikes and lockouts Ey creating a condition under which nothing would be gained by them.
 All wage rates would be based on an eight hour law.
 The zoard would fix wage rates for water as we'll as rail transportation systems.

7 Million Men Haue Been Killed Thus

Member of English War Coun- cil Declares Total Casualties Will Be In Excess of 45,- 900, 900.
(By Review Leased wire).

LONDON. May 19. (4 p. m.)- The number of men killed in the war thus far was estimated at seven million by Arthur Tender son, member of the war council. in an address today at Richmond. He estimated the total casualties of the war to be in excess of the population of the United kingdom. (The population of the United Kingdom. according to the cen sus of 1911 was 45.370,530.)
 Mir. Henderson said that after nearly three years of military ef- fort which was unprecedented there was no immediate prospect of cessation of hostilities. The severe character of the war and its prolongation tempted some persons to ask why peace should not be attempted by other means
 He would tell them, he said. It was because the challenge thrown down by Germany in 1914 still held good; the lust of world domination which dictated the policy of aggressive military ac- tion on the part of Germany, con tinued to be supported by the German emperor and his Prus- sian advisors. He said that un- til the great act of liberation had been fully achieved the allies could not falter.
