They're the traffic cops of the army,
and darned good ones, too. Thereu

America when the NJ. P.'s get back"
The officer was abiding to the mill
tary police, the organization that
keeps order in the army prevents
congestion on the roads, and does
the work that other departments OF
the army do not do. The military po-
lice have taken an important place
behind the lines.
The military police is distinct or
ganization, and is made up OF picked
men from various military units. AS

realize that there is as much traff1c

tain hours. SO the "M. p" has a big
job on his hands as traffic cop. Of
ten there are two streams of traf-
fic, and he has double job, to pre-
vent congestion.
Usually there is an IN. p" at every
cross road, to examine passes. ana
see that people who do not belong near
the front never get there. When you
enter a divisions area you are al
ways met by an I'M. p" who looks
over your credentials, and gives you
information about roads, dangers, ana
see that you have your gas mask
ready before you go in the "gas alerte
zone"
"The W. P.'s' are made UP of the
best men in the army, and they have
lot of authority. What is more, they
know (which makes them a little
disliked by the ordinary dough oys.
But everyone agrees that the army
couldn't run without the m. P's."

Unable to Equal Mems Work.

How far the woman workers substi-
tuted for men in Great Britain are
really filling the places of men is an
swered in an article prepared for the
bureau of labor statistics by Miss
Mark X. Conyngton, who has made a
study Of the effect of the war on the
employment Of women in England.
"The reply varies with the work."
writes Miss Conyngton. "In clerical
and banking positions apparently
women are fully replacing men, ex-
cept in the relatively few positions.
SIN the munition trades they have
proved highly satisfactory, but in
general their work has not been the
same as that of the men whose places
they have taken"
Women have replaced 1,413,000 men
in industrial, professional and civil
service positions in Great Britain III
the last three years, according to fig
ures obtained by Miss Conyngton.

Labor Wins Praise.

The common-sense attitude adopted
by American labor respecting parleys
with German labor seems to have had
its effect upon the French Socialists.
An important section headed by the
redoubtable Albert Thomas has ex-
pressed itself in accord with the views
Of our labor committees. We have rea-
son to believe the visit of these repre-
sentatives Of American labor's prag-
matte policy has done much to
strengthen British and French labor
war policy.
This service should be added to the
considerable list credited to American
organized labor in the world war. We
have had our bolsheviki and our pro-
Germans, but organized labor as repre-
sented by the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor has stood four
square on the great basic issues of the
conflict, has never been confused or
led astray, and has kept the feet Of la
Dor firmly on the ground. This has
been statesmanly achievement
worthy of the recognition of all Ameri-
cans and of our allies. The war might
well have been lost without it.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

! Coal Fields Patriotic.

That the bituminous coal miners Of
the country, and particularly in the
Pittsburgh district, are 100 per cent
patriotic, Is shown by the amount Of
much needed coal being mined. Sew
eral months ago Fuel Administrator
Harry Garfield hoisted the danger sig
nal with warning that If coal pro-
duction was not increased the country
would face a coal famine. Operators
became busy and have been holding
sessions nearly every week in Wash
ington in order to keep in close tpuch
with the situation. At the beginning
quiet and effective work was done,
and later series Of public patriotic
meetings were held in the thicklyI set
tied sections, with the result that the
situation is now very much improved.
As matters now stand 1t is up to- the
railroads to furnish the required num-
Der Of cars.

nNO MORAL RIGHT To- STRIKE
Canadian Railway War Board Talks
Plainly in Denying Petition for
Higher Wage Scale.

Declaring that Canadian railroad
men have mo moral right to countc-
nance or order a strike" at this time
the Canadian railway war board, after
an emergency meeting, sent a letter
to the Railway Federated Trades
denying the shipments petition for
scale Of wages higher than that to be
paid in the United States by the MI
tional railway administration. While
only the shopmen were directly af-
fected, 1t was said they would be
backed by the trades membership of
10000 if they carried out their an
nouneed intention of striking.
The war board takes the position
that higher wages for shopmen would
mean proportionate increases for all
ranks Of railroad workers, and would
Inass .either early bankruptcy for
eV pf0ad in Canada, including the
CaiAsxAn Pacific railroad, or the i'm
position of freight rates so high that
Canadian industry would be alb
solutely barred from any share in ex-
port business, and domestic cost Of
living and manufacture would reach
ruinous heights"

Will Admit Mexican Labor.

Secretary of Labor Wilson has let
down the bars to immigration from
Mexico. In a departmental order ex-
emptions are allowed from the head
tax, literacy test and contract-labor
provision imposed by previous regu-
lations.
In statement announcing the order
Secretary Wilson says the decision to
permit the entry into the United
States of illiterates and other Mexi-
cans formerly not admissible, was
reached in order to assist in meeting
the present shortage of unskilled
labor. Labor imported under this rule
can be used only in agricultural pur-
suits, railroad section maintenance
and Ignite coal mining.
The order will be revoked when the
present emergency has passed and the
men imported will be required to re-
turn to their own country.

Apportloninq UnskiIled Workers.

Approximation of the common labor
requirement of the war industries Of
the country for the next three months
and of the common labor reserves in
each state available for war work has
been started by the employment serv-
ice division Of the department of la
Dor.
With these estimates as a basis the
employment service will allot to each
state the quotas of unskilled workers
to be furnished.
With August 1 as the date when
Independent recruiting of labor will
stop, the employment service, it was
stated, expects to have the state quo
tas completed by the middle of July,
so there may be no interruption in the
labor supply needed by war contract
plants.
