URGES E|CHT-HOUR DAY
FOR STEEL INDUSTRY
Frank Morrison Also Counsels De-
mand for Overtime Extra Pay, In
Address at Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. October Though
deprecating the necessity of strike to
enforce their demands Frank Morri-
son, secretary Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, in an address at the
Union Labor Temple here yesterday
urged union steel workers of the Pitts
burgh district to demand an eight hour
day with time and a half for all overtime.
Several thousand workers of the steel
industry. including many striking en-
ployes of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Co. attended the meeting.
Il want to say that the American
Federation of Labor stands behind
President Wilson for the purpose of
CARRYING the war straight through to
victory, but we do not propose un-
necessarily to sacrifice the members of
labor to help make war profits for the
great manufacturers said Secretary
Morrison
THE steel industry can afford to
operate on eight-hour basis and can
afford to grant proper working condi-
ttons. 1t will require a readjustment,
but 1t will not suffer financially. When
the war is over democracy will be es-
ia blished in the world and the eight
hour day will be established in the
steel industry of this country"
Mr.. Morrison declared the impression
that agreement between the American
ment precIuded strikes during the war
was erroneous. The agreement only
provided that there should be no reduC
tions in the standards of labor. He said
that the ten and twelve hour days of
the steel industry were not standards
and that therefore the steel workers
would be justified in demanding an
eight-hour day.
View of Company Official.
An official of one of the large steel
companies of the Pittsburgh district is
sued statement saying that the eight
hour day as advocated by Mr.. Morrison
was an impossibility in the steel in
dustry at the present time.
There are approximately $4,000 men
engaged in the steel industry in the
Pittsburgh district at the present time"
the statement set forth. ITO adopt the
eight hour day would require 80 per
cent or $4,000 more men. The industry
is short of la Dor now and there are no
more men to be obtained. To adopt the
eight-hour day in the industry would be
to render this nation almost impotent

Object to Unframed Men.

The chief objection of the military au-
thorities to filing up existing guard
regiments with National Army men
from the same state, thus preserving
every guard organization. lies in the
fact that the regiment would be COM
posed of two-thirds wholly unframed
men.
Should the guard regiments be filled
with National Army men, their depar-
ture for France would be delayed many
months, while the green men are train
ed. and the War Department wishes TO
expedite the preparation of guard di-
visions for active service.

to the consolidation of the 9Th Missouri

was against the dividing of the I'd Mis-

LONDON, October 1.--Another series
of thrilling reports of recent naval
actions against German submarines.
illustrative of the manner in which the
U-boat menace is being met, has been
given out by the admiralty. The rec
ords are officials and authenticated. but
no dates are given.
The statement begins by reciting how
torpedo gunbdat sighted a periscope
500 yards away and turned ship so that
the periscope was travelling in the op-
posite direction to that in which 1t was
first seen. When at a distance OF hlty
yards the periscope disappeared and
the gunboat. altering its course. passed
over the submarine.
The impact of the collision was felt'
and when the captain estimated tha'
the submarine was under the after
part of his ship explosive charges We're
dropped astern. seapiane reported
matches of oil on the surface ana a
mine sweeper found an obstruction on
the bottom at this point.
A torpedo boat patroliing IN the Az
Iantic found a steamer torpedoed ana
sinking. The survivors We're rescued
and then the torpedo boat clrciea apout @
the locality for more than an hour
Finally a white patch of water was
seen dead ahead.
The torpedo boat dashed over the
spot grazed the submarine and dropped
three submarine bombs. Oil and air
bubbles reeking of gasoline came to
the surface and the mine sweeper
found another obstruction here.
U-Boat Against U-Boat.
The next encounter described in the
statement was that OF submarine
Ir,-ts +=h hnn
sighted a German submersible while
both were on the surface.
The British submarine dived, and later
picked up the enemy through the perl
scope. A torpedo. fired at SUI yards
caused violent explosion in the Ger
man vessel
when the Britisher arose he found
patch of oil in which Germans were
swimming. They said that they had
been blown out through the coming
tower. and that their craft had been
hit amidships. overturned and sunk.
\ story characteristic of the mine
sweeper's spirit is next rected. y foulla

channel waters when an explosion oc-
CURED between a pair of them. the wire

was pulled in two mines We're found
entangled. one on the ships side and
the other just under the surface.
Peril From Mine "Whiskers.'
The slightest roll of the ship striking
the mines "whiskers" would have been
sufficient to set off an annihilation
charge. The officer in command. being
responsible for the lives of the crew
ordered them to abandon the ship. La
ter a senior officer with volunteers re-
boarded the minesweeper and coolly cut
the wire The mines fell into the sea
without exploding.
The mines then We're towed away
gingerly by another ship. The state
ment points out the value of the
trawler. which hardly costs as much as
one broadside from a cruiser. Life

Objected to Consolidation.
Junior Officers Affected.

A similar course will be followed with
the Junior officers of the regimental or
battalion staffs. This process is being
carried out in the Regular Army in the
organization of the new type. trench
warfare regiments.
Some officers here expressed fears
that they might be assigned when
displaced by consolidation, to the depot
brigade of a division and be left at
home, but Gov. Gardner was assured
that the depot hrige de in every case
would accompany to the front the di
visions to which 1t was attached. 1t
will be the base from which officers
and men to replace casualties are
drawn.

THE GIANT AWAKE

We have but recently witness
ed AN event in this country the
like Of which the world has never
before seen-at least, the world
of our knowledge. We have wit
messed the entrance into the
ranks of nations fighting men
Of ten million soldiers, waiting
for the call to the colors. We
see today an army of nearly two
million men actually under arms
equipped and assembled, ready
to do or die in their country s
service.
It is an amazing sight. America
the peaceful; America, the
cradle of federation, the nursery
Of justice and right-America in
.lrms and springing to the fray.
And the strange feature OF
the case is, it has astonished
even Americans themselves. We
had been so long accustomed to
hear ourselves referred to as a
sleeping giant that we had come
to so regard ourselves. We had
thought that the affairs Of the
outside world concerned us not
and that we were sufficient un-
to ourselves.
But today sees the giant a.
wake. A little groggy, it is
true, but rapidly assimilating
the power and might that will
sweep everything before him
when once he gets his stride. IT
also sees him shorn of his provin
cialism and taking his rightful
place in the world-a man of
power and might among men Of
power and might. q
And being awake, we find
confronting us one of the most
stupendous tasks that ever con-
fronted a people. We find our
selves he probable deciding fac
tor in a world war, the balance o
power that shall make this eartf
a safe place of abode for all
men-a world in which right
and not might, shall reign.
And with this great task be
fore us, we are going about oul
preparations as BELTS a people
who have not only confidence il
their own powers, but a full ap
probation of the magnitude O.
the task as well. While we hav'
not proclaimed it broadcast, ye
