WAR INDUSTRY
LABOR UNREST
is INDICATED
Miners Ask More Wages;
Are Refused; Ship
Workers Uneasy.

Unrest on the part OF labor in war
industries developed throughout the
country yesterday in conferences with
the Fuel Administration and Shipping
Board. Large increases in wages
were asked by Representatives OF both
industries.
The miners were refused advances
by Fuel Administrator Garfield, while
the request OF the shipbuilders is un-
der advisement by the ShIpbuilding
Adjustment Board. limitations are
that the advance asked will not be
granted.
At the same time Frank J. Walsh.
joint chairman Of the War Labor
Board. was hurrying to Bridgeport,
Conn, to address a meeting last night
OF 5000 machinists employed in the
munitions plants there who are
threatening strike vote. Walsh was
to seek TO hold them at their work
until the War Labor Board could
complete its consideration Of their
case now pending. The machinists
are demanding quicker action by the
board.
Receive Unpleasant Surprise.
District presidents of the United
Mine Workers OF America, who saw
DR.. Garfield yesterday received an IN
pleasant surprise. They thought they
had but to request a further wage
advance and II would be granted.
Last October the operators agreed
to an increased wage and DR.. Gar
field then recommended to the presi-
dent a a cent increase in the price
fixed for bituminous coal TO cover
the wage increase. The new scale
was agreed for two years.
DR.. Garfield said that he himself
had been a party to the wage in
crease last October because OF the
entrance OF the United States into
war. but that this last agreement
had been made with fun knowledge
of the fact that living prices would
increase. 1t was for two years.
The Ship Building Labor Adjust
ment Board is confronted with an
intricate problem in the double de-
mands OF skilled labor in the ship
yards. The yards have been oper-
ating on six-months' agreements
with the men.
There is no apprehension OF a
strike in this industry.
Il can't go to the President and
ask for another increase in the
price OF coal. which an increased
wage would force. and ] won't" DR..
Garfield declared.
No Threats Of strike.
No threats OF strike were made on
DR.. Garfield's refusal, but IL was
said at the Fuel Administration
that even such action would not af-
feet his position.

Credit for revelations made in the
aircraft report must go largely to the
courageous band of Senators who
have held out. from the moment they
began to look into things. for a most
efficient conduct of the war and for
the complete elimination of red tape
and dishonesty and selfishness.
Let no man say these men were not
interested In Americas success. The
truth Is they saw that if we continued
on the inefficient basis We were once
operating on. in several branches of
the War Department it would be
much to the Kaiser's liking and of
course, to his immense benefit
These Senators wanted every blow
to count for America. They knew 1t
could not count with inefficiency and
red tape and dishonesty standing in
the way. F''
For their efforts, of course, they
have the profound thanks of the SOL
diers OF America and of the folks left
at home who sent those soldiers
abroad and who are footing the bill
OF equipping and sustaining them
there.
And for their efforts they probably
have the devout ill-wishes of the

 The hospital staff could not under stand 1t.

"As soon as you learn new trade they'll take away your pension,' was the whisper that had run like wildfre through the wards Even the most positive denials failed to- coun- teract It's effects altogether. and good many European soldiers still refuse to learn, solely because they fear to lose their pension. They have no desire to lose ono bone by snapping at It's re fection in the water. . .
 Jean, however, was convinced In time. He learned to be rnasseur--- as a gymnast> he had perforce been something of a 'Tubber''-and is now earning quite as much ss he ever did and has far steadier5 employment than he ever, had. Sc. '
 The United States will of course meet no such difnculty, Our soldiers will know all about, re-educaton long before they are wounded; and they will know that the insurance bill spe- officially provides that a soldier shall suffer no reduction in his compensar ton because he learns to work h spite of a permanent injury.
