MEETING OF THE
STRIKERS and
FRIENDS

A largely attended meeting Of the
striking employees Of the Maine Cen
trail railroad and their friends was held
at the City Opera house Sunday eve
ming, which was addressed by Millard
Fitzgerald and Organizer James II.
Dwyer. The audience was given some
straight from the shoulder statements
by the speakers and appeared to be
thoroughly in sympathy with all that
was said. The meeting was very sue
cessful one, the attendance being even
larger than was expected by the men
in light Of the bad night. The meeting
was called to order at about O'Clock
by Chairman White of the local union,
following a selection by the orchestra
which was in attendance.

CONGRESS MUST PROVIDE
MONEY.

Washington, April 3-(By Unior
Associated Press)-With the House
organization out of the way, Congress
is preparing today to give prompt at.
t~ention to some essentially practical
problems of finance, for the military
departments need money. The Quar-.
termaster of the army is out of money
because Congress in it's wrangles in
February failed to pass certain ap-
preparation bills. Payment for large
purchases of supplies cannot be made
by this richest government on earth
through technical deficiency in Treas
ury allotments.
Another problem which is giving
Congress much anxiety is the uncer-
tainty about the alien pro-German
population in the event of war. The
German propaganda and spy system
has been working for fifteen years in
the United States, and includes in its
ranks many Germans Of high position
and standing in business and financial
circles. The ordinary type Of petty
fanatic who goes about planting
bombs or venting some crazy form of
vengeance can be dealt with by the
police as a criminal, but how to ham
die men higher up is one Of the prob
lens that is becoming more acute ev-
cry day.

BILLIONS OF TIN CANS NEEDED.

Washington, April Shy Union
Associated Press)-Canning factories
in the United States will need billions
of tin cans during the coming sum-
mer. The European war has increas-
ed the demands on the U. S. Gamers,
and it is figured that not less than
$500, 100000 cans will be needed to
take car of this demand during the
next season. Of this total only 4,OOO,-
100000 are in sight, leaving an appar-
ent shortage of $500, 100000 tin cans.
Several agencies Of the government
are straining every effort to solve the
problem, and have secured the COOP
GRAFTON of the railroads. Shipments
of tin plate, steel sheets and tin cans
will be treated in transit as if they
were foodstuffs. 1t is declared that
unless the increased demand for tin
cans can be met the prices of all CAM
ed goods during the next year will
be considerably in advance of the high
price now prevailing.

Detroit, Mich, April 3-(By Union
Associated Press)-The year 1917 is
expected to be a banner n for the

ton of one-third of the $300,000,000
Cuban cane crop by revolutionists.
This is said to be responsible for the
price war now being waged by the
sugar beet growers Of Michigan
against mill operators, In which the
growers are demanding IS . ton

ands of acres Of sugar beet fields is

AS we 90 to war the fundamental issue as to
what will decide the conflict will not be changed.
That issue is the success or non-success of the
submarine campaign.
If Great Britain cannot be starved out or bent
to her knees by the German submarine campaign,
then she has a good chance of winning even with
out aid. At least, she will probably be able to
secure a satisfactory peace.
But if Great Britain can be starved to her
knees by the submarine campaign, then our
participation in the war will probably not aid her
much.
We must remember that England is an island
empire, and must import her foodstuffs to live.
And we repeat, if the Gordon of German subma-
rines can accomplish their object, then scarcely
anything could save England.
Our aid, of course, will be of value in combat
ing the submarine menace. That is certain. Yet,
if it is intrinsically possible for the German SUBJ
marines to starve England, then our aid must be
very material in ships and men to outweigh this
possibility.
It should be understood that we are not saying
that the German submarines can starve England
to her knees, even without help from the United
States. This article is speculative in its nature,
as most war discussion happens to be.
The outcome of the war, then, must hinge on
whether or not the submarine campaign will sue
coed, and whether the entry of the United States
in the war can be a factor toward it's non-success
if without us it would be successful.
The British admiralty announces that the sail
ngs of ships from British ports is still heavy, while
German admiralty announces, though the annihil-
alton Of allied and neutral tonnage hasn't been
as heavy as was anticipated, it still is sufficient to
insure the success Of the campaign, though it will
last longer than at first thought. And there you
are.
Truly, if the Teutonic mad dog" campaign
should prove successful, fighting elsewhere would
be secondary.
