The Workers.

In an article on how labor can aid
in the war, advising longer hours, in
creased production, ETC., the Industrial
Economist says: According to the
census there are at present about 80
100000 workers in the United States
including all over the age OF ten. The
figures submitted by the secretary OF
the American Federation of Labor
some time ago show about l,S4I,oOO
persons working on an eigfs-hour ba-
sis in the United States, and of tins
number 4T5,000 were either federal,
state, county or municipal employees.
Since that time the number of those
working on an eight-hour basis has
increased, and today there is a mini
mum of 100000 workers operating
on an eight-hour basis, and these 2
100000 workers are probably the ones
who will be very directly concerned
with producing that which the govern
ment needs through the various fac
tories, mills. mines, ETC.. throughout
the country"

Congress adjourned without voting
for the conscription of aliens. The
main difficulty arising from such an
action would be that the same privi-
lege might be taken by other govern
ments with regard to our citizens
and majority of the congressman
thought it would be a violation of
treaties with foreign countries. 1t
might have brought about a compli-
Gated state of affairs that would be
dangerous business. for If we were
to draft German or Austrian sup
jects. we would be powerless II they
decided to draft Americans. How
ever great numbers of foreigners-are
now living in the United States en-
joying the material advantages the
drafted men have been forced to give
up. and give nothing in return ex-
cept the indirect benefit derived from
their labor. It is rank injustice. II
congress did not deem it advisable
to draft these aliens. it would have
worked no great hardship on them
to be given a choice of becoming
citizens, subject to draft. or return
ing to their own country and serve
with their own army. We believe
that such an action on the part of
the lawmakers of this country would
have met with approval and would
be absolutely justtiable. 1t is an
admitted fact that the United States
is harboring many an alien whose
heart is with Germany. If he rem /
ders service it will be for Ger
many and therefore. this country
would be far better off if he were /
with the German army than a Sc
cret enemy in our midst.
