cording to a statement issued to- day
by the Belgian Legation, which says:
In October, 1914, on the strength of
q promise of the German Governor of
Antwerp, Won Huehne, no longer to de-
port young people into Germany nor
force them to do military work the
Dutch government helped the Belgian
refugees to return to Belgium. Ar
rived there, they were victims of de-
portation and other measures.
At various times the Dutch govern
ment has interceded with the German
authorities in favor of the Belgians,
whom, entirely involuntarly, it helped
to put back into the hands of the exc
cutioners. Complete success has not
crowned its efforts, but very faithfully
the Dutch government comes back to

Jersey Shipyards
Issue Hurry Call
For Skilled Labor
Riveters, Welders, Reamer.
and Men in Other Lines
Urgently Needed

NEWARK, N. j., July 1S.-There is
serious shortage of labor in the
local shipyards and the New Jersey
branch of the United States Employ
mcnt Service, at 9 Franklin Street,
is making every effort to satisfy the
call for more men. 1t placed 1858
men and women last month. but is
still far behind the demand.
Lewis T. Bryant, Federal director of
employment for the State of New
Jersey, discussing the situation yester-
day said.
"Thc Federal government considers
the situation of such Importance that
it has sent several kilograms urging
us to use our utmost efforts in OBJ
tanning the necessary supply of help.
Az this time we have specific request
from one Of the largest shipbuilding
corporations in Newark for 300 riv-
eters, 800 heaters and 800 holders on. -
Thomas j. Burns, examiner in charge
at the employment office, said: eve
have urgent calls for construction
laborers, riveters, welders, copper
smiths, reamers, drl!ers, caulkers,
toolmakers, diemakers and engineers.
There is practically no limit to the
number Of men we can use.
"The Submarine Boat Corporation of
Port Newark, needs 5000 men; the
Federal Shipbuilding Company, Kear-
ny, at least 1000; the Foundation
Company, of Kearny, more than 5000;
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company,
Elizabeth, 5000, and the New York &
Pennsylvania Shipbullding Company,
Camden, about 10000. Men familiar
with concrete work are needed at Lit
tie Ferry, N. j., where a plant for
the construction of concrete barees
has just been established.
There is a school at one of our
yards where class OF 800 is being
instructed for six weeks in the ship
building lines. Schools will be opened
at other yards to meet the demand
There are fine openings for men quail
fled to act as instructors in these

Both Sides Ready
For Finish Fight
I'm Newark Strike
Only Government Inter
ference, They Say, Can
Settle the Difficulty

NEWARK, N, j., July 18.-Repre-
sentatives of the striking machinsts
and toolmakers and the employers
each issued statements to-day, decar-
ing their intention of fighting out their
dispute to a finish unless the govern
ment intcrfercs. The impression
among the men was that the whole
controversy would be submitted to the
War Board for settlement, exactly as
was done at Bridgeport, Conn, few
days ago.
There is wide divergence in the fig
ures of men on strike as given out by
the spokesmen for the opposing fac
tons. c. ?. Gibson, an organizer of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, placed the figure at l5,O00
while Arthur NJ. Torrey, secretary of
the Employers Association of North
ern New Jersey, set the number at
5000.
1t was reported to the men to-day
that the employers are listing the
names of men now on strike who had
escaped being placed in Glass Al of
the draft because they were employed
ON Whf WORK. ne llSL, as soon AS
completed, it is said, would be sent
to the local draft board for such action
as the latter may see fit to take Labor
leaders. however, declared the move, f
intended as a threat would fail, mas
much as the board had decided that the
men might strike without endangering
their sstication.
Picketing of all the plants affected
by the strike continued during the
day. but there were no acts of violence
reported. The union officials have
been emphatic in their instructions to
the men TO refrain from any action
other than that permitted by law.
Moreover, they stated to-day that if
the War Board does act in the strike
and orders the men back to work. they
have been advised to go promptly
Practically all the plants affected by
the strike are engaged on government
contracts. One or two, it was stated
Yesterday, were doing work vitality i'm
portant to the government at the pres
ent moment.
Harvey ". Brown, business agent
and organizer of the union, went to
Washington to-day. Two rumors were
current concerning the purpose of his
trip. One intimated he intended to
present the strikers case to the gov
ernment authorities. The other ex-
Dlanation offered was that his trip had
to do solely with the internal affairs
of the union, the headquarters of the
national organization being located in
