LONDON Lieutenant-C Colonel c..
Seymour Bullock, of the Canadian
army, former Chicago clergyman, has
completed organization plans for the
first all-American army, to be formed
in England to fight under the Stars
and Stripes in France. If congress
will accept this means of speedily
placing the flag in the trenches the
force will be constituted as a unit of
the United States army, with a
strength of 10000 seasoned American
officers and men from the British
front. 1t is hoped to add to the
strength at least 1000 more from the
civilian American population of Great
Britain and France.

Many Yankees Abroad.

Officers are plentiful among the
American soldiers in Europe. The
names already registered with Col
onel Bullock include officers from IS
states, the Philippines and Alaska
Privates in one Canadian battalion
alone came from 43 states, Alaska,
Porto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba.
The new force will be especially we'll
off for machine-gun officers and crews
and members.
The allied armies have drawn a to-
tai of 10000 Americans since the war
began. The extent of their casualties
can be estimated from the conserva-
tive optimism of Colonel Bullock. He
asserts that every "Yank" now fight
ing under a foreign flag is impatient
to get into American khaki. Yet his
highest estimate of the number OBJ
is 10000 officers and men.
However, the missing 10000 are not
necessarily killed. Many have been
through wounds and others
have been captured

OLsON's WIDOW GETS PENSION

Olympia, Wash.-In the closing hours
of the State legislature a pension of $4,-
900 was voted Julia Olson, widow of Ed
office by man who was dissatisfied with
a compensation award. The senate re-
jected the pension but the house refused
to accept this position on the ground that
the State should provide for the widow
of an official who was murdered because
he refused to pay out money to an un-
worthy claimant AS the hour for ad-
journment, provided in the State consti-
tuition, had arrived, the senate was
forced to recede and the bill was passed.
The deceased official was a member Of
the Typographical union and was well
known throughout the northwest.

Labor difficulties and strikes have
been reported from various sections of
Germany in the last few months.
Troubles of a serious nature in Ham
burg was reported from various sources
following the Russian revolution. These
reports were substantiated by statements
of Socialist deputies in the Reichstag re-
ferring to ''the deplorable events in
Hamburg and Bremen"
A strike occurred in February, in the
krupp works at Essen, the heart of
Germany's munition and artillery indus
try. More recently strikes have been
reported among the munition workers
at Dusseldorf and among the coal min
ers at Penzburg. These strikes were
said to be caused by the food scarcity
which was also credited with being re-
sponsible for serious riots in Berlin and
other big German cities. -...-

NETS TO PROTECT BUILDERS

San Francisco.-The industrial acci-
dent commission has secured the intro
duction of nets for buildings under
course of construction. These nets cost
on an average of $15 each and are SINH
lar to those employed by fire departments
and circus performers. 1t has been
found that the law that calls for the
temporary flooring of all buildings under
construction is impracticable. High bal
comics, galleries, arch trusses of theaters
and other high places on which workers
are employed is too far distance to the
floor The safety net supplies the need
as a man falling many feet into the net
is uninjured.
The commission states that this latest
safety appliance will reduce the number
of deaths and injuries in the building
industry, which totaled 1858 in Califor-
MIA in 1915.

LAW MAKERS FAVOR
JOINT BARGAINING

St. Paul, Misunderstanding between
employer and employe is recommended
by subcommittee of the house COM
mittee on labor in report on last year S
strike in the iron ore section of this
State.
The strikers were unOrganiZed when
they suspended work to correct condi-
tons forced upon them by the steel
trusts subsidiaries. Later a so-called
Revolutionary union" took charge of af-
fairs and the strike was marked by much
disorder The steel trusts usual thug
tactics prevailed.
The committee made two reports, the
minority more extended than the maj or
ity, but both agreed that the failure of
the companies to recognize collective
bargaining was responsible for the
strike.
The majority report says:
Your committee believes that the
principle of collective bargaining should
not be discouraged by employers of la
Dor, since the denial of this right will
eventually lead to MISUNDERSTANDING
suspicion and consequent disorder and
violence. The failure to recognize the
right of collective bargaining was, in the
extent responsible for the labor dis
tlrbance in northern Minnesota"
The minority report says:
THE investigation brought out the fact
that the mining and numbering interests
have always refused to deal collectively
with their employees. We believe that
the principle of collective bargaining
should not be discouraged by employers
of labor, since the denial of this right OF
collective bargaining was, in Our judg-
ment responsible for the periodical labor
disturbances in northern Minnesota to q
large degree"
