What can I do for my country?'
The council of national defense and
advisory commission. which is mobiliz-
ing the industries of the country in
cooperation with military authorities
and administration officials, is prepar-
ing for the government complete
census of where the best men in every
line of work can be found when needed
During the ninety days that this
council has been organized. profting
by the example of belligerents and
recognizing that the problem which
this nation has to meet is the same
as that which the British government
| had to consider, leaders in all branches
| OF Industrial organization have been
| called to Washington for conference.
| AS Lloyd Georges first step was an
| industrial census, through which he
| found that watchmakers could make
fuses. that jewelry houses could manu-
| facture periscopes and the manufac-
| turers of textile machinery could make
| field kitchens, so the council of ma
| tional defense has compiled much valu
able information for the Army and
| Navy departments regarding the work
| that can be done by American firms.
$1,000 Plants Inventoried.
| Inventory of $1,000 of the largest
plants for military purposes has been
taken. This work was started by the
committee on industrial preparedness
of which Howard E. Coffin, now a
member of the advisory commission of

FEDERATION SOLIOly
SUPPORTS THE WAR
But Postmaster General BurieSon Is
Criticised for Attitude Toward
Postal Employees.

Buffalo. n Y, Nov. 2t.--~Postmaster
General Burleson is in the bad kraces
of the American Federation OF La Dor.
By an overwhelming standing vote OF
the delegates TO the convention of
the fedora tion this afternoon q reso-
luton declaring him to be harsh and
autocratic, unfair and arbitrary" in his
dealings with tho organized postal
employees of the country, was adopt
ed.
The adoption OF these resolutions
marked the first overturn of the re-
i4oiutions committee. The committee
had reported adversely on the reso
luton, submitted by Thomas r. FLA
herty of the National Federation OF
Postal employees and r. j. Gamer OF
the National Associa ton of Letter
Carriers. II suggested that the COM
plants against the postm aster- gen
ersl be submitted to the executive
council OF the American Federation
of Labor for conference with the
postmaster general and later adjust
nent OF grievances.
The rehuke of Mr. Burleson was the
second sensation OF the day. II may
fairly be considered now that the
pacifst element has lost all Its
strength and that the American fec
Grafton is soiidly and unitedly behinn

CONGRESS tMAcTs
LIQUOR LEGISLATION

The special session of the United
States congress has enacted the fol-
lowing legislation with reference to
the liquor traffic:
/. Prohibition of the sale OF liquors
to soldiers. This law prohibits the
operation of a saloon or place where
liquor is sold within FIVE miles of an
army cantonment, except saloons To-
Gated in incorporated cities. All sa-
looms Within a half mile are closed.
2. Prohibition OF foodstuffs In the
production OF distilled spirits TOT pew
erage purposes. This prohiofs the
use of foods, food materials, fruits or
feeds in the production of distilled
SHIRTS for beverage purposes, and au-
thorizes the president to commander
distilled spirits for governmental use.
3. Prohibition for the United States
navy. This bill was passed and ap-
proved by the president on October
s, and extends the provisions or the
seiective draft act for the army so
that the word army" shall extend and
include navy, and all prohibitions re-
garding military places SHAH include
naval, etc. This upholds the ruling
Of the navy department, based upon
the VI TIC athShHS c~&AS~~ -.
in that respect,
4. Post exchange and recreation
room for the men The urgent de-
ficiency bill for the year ending 1918
carries an additional appropriation OF
$3.50 900 for eQuipping amusement.
recreation and lunch rooms for the
men and including picture films. This
Is in addition TO the 100000 report
ed previously.
s. Liquor provisions in the war rev"
enue bill The war revenue bill pro
vides for increases in tax on distilled
spirits of/s2.10 a gallon, making the
tax S320 a gallon, and increased the
tax on beer $3.50 a barrel, bringing
the tax up to 50 barrel Section
Sol prohibits the i'm portation o. dis
titled spirits into the United States
from any foreign countries or from
the West India Islands. except from
products OF the growth of the latter
islands, and not then into any state
or territory or district of the United
States in which the manufacture or
sale of Intoxicating liquor is prohibit
ed; and prohibits the importation
from Porto Rico or the Philippine
Islands.
Section ITO of the war revenue bin
touches what is known as the bone
dry and anti-advertfsing law OF the
last session. This law prohibits the
sending OF liquor advertisements
through the United States mail into
dry territory
&. National constitutional prohibit
ton amendment was passed by the
senate by a vote of SIS to 20.
In view of the fact that congress
| in the early days of the special SEES
sion agreed TO consider only measures
which related to the war, thereby
preventing the consideration OF some
OF the other dry bills on the calendar.
the drys have every reason to feel
that they Jared very well In the spe-
cial session and the friends of the
cause have reason to rejoice.
