SEEK MEN FOR SEA SERVICE

1t is far cry from firing station

drive a fast freighter laden with a
million dollar cargo through the sub
marine zone. but that is the prospect
held out to firemen by the United
States Shipping Board, which is seek
ing men for the new Merchant Marine.
Several thousand young firemen are
wanted for special training as marine
firemen, oilers and water-tenders at
special course given by the Shipping
Board at Chicago school of engineer
ing. The service they are wanted for
is vital. After special training at Chi
cago the men will be sent east at gov
ernment expense for sea training as
apprentices on a government training
ship, before going into actual service.
They will be exempted from the
draft. After brief, intensive course
iof sea training, on pay, the apprentice
win be put into the crew OF modern
merchant ship at regular pay. which

eligible to take examinations to enter
free government marine engineering
school, of which the Shipping Board
conducts several, and there fit himself

and 80, may apply for training on a
squadron of training ships maintained
by the Shipping Board, for the drill
ing of crews for the new national car
go fleets.
These 289 druggists volunteered for
this patriotic service through q trade
organization Of national scope, head
ed by Louis K. Liggett of Boston.
which has pledged it's members to
work for the Merchant Marine. Of
the stores controlled by these allied
druggists, 1854 are In the United
States.
Recruiting stations for the Mer-
chant Marine will thus be established
In 1896 cities and towns, represent
ing every state in the Union. The

Patternrnakers
AT Hoovens Strike.

All the patternmakers employed at
Hooven, Owens Rentschler Co, on
Monday morning laid down their tools
and walked out. The reason for this
action was the refusal of the firm to
grant the increase of wages asked for
by the men.
The patternmakers working at the
Hooven plant had been receiving Sc
cents an hour. In February they asked
that this be increased to 70 cents an
hour dating from February 1st and
that they be given rs cents an hour
to begin July 1st. The firm asked for
time to consider the request and kept
showing it off until about April 1st,
when they granted an increase of five
cents on the hour. This wasn't at all
satisfactory to the men and they so
notified their national association.
General Organizer Binder of the as
sociation, came to the city at that time
and urged the men not to strike and
obstruct production at that time, as
the Hooven company is doing much
war work. He also tried to adjust
matters, but with little satisfaction.
In the meantime the patternmakers
have been trying to get things
Strengthened out to their satisfaction,
but with no result.
On last Friday, Mr.. Rogers, a gov
ernment representative, came to the
city and added his efforts towards
satisfactory adjustment of the differ
ences, but so far has failed. AS re-
suit the men walked out on Monday
morning and are now demanding that
they receive rs cents an hour dating
from June 1st.
This affair might be regarded more
in the nature of walk-out than
strike. They will not attempt to keep
others from going to work, but simply
refuse to work for the amount paid
them and will seek other positions un-
less the firm grants their request
They are all members of the local pat
ternmakers' union.

AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE
Service on v. s. Ships as Important
as Service in the Trenches,
Says Official.

simultaneously with the Inaugural
tion Of nationwide recruiting cam
paign for officers and men for the
American Merchant Marine, the United
States shipping board will impress
upon local exemption boards the need
of granting exemption to all men
known to be mariners, and to all vol
unteers for the United States Shipping
Boards training ships
The Shipping Board Is now making
a special drive In the states around
the Great Lakes to secure men be-
tween p and 80 be specially trained,
at an engineering school In Chi
cago, as marine firemen, oilers and
water tenders, before putting them
on training ships at Boston for special
drill at sea. 1t will also accept men
to be trained as sailors, coal passers,
cooks and walters (messmen).
In the case of the men sent to Chi
cago for training their exemption will
begin on their arrival at the school.
Exemption OF the others will begin as
soon as they are received on training
ship Of the United States Shipping
Board. It will continue In both cases
as long as the men remain In the Mer-
chant Marine. Such exemption is pro-
vided for In recent regulation.
Service on a merchant ship In the
present emergency takes the place of
military duty and is fully as important
as service in the trenches" says w.
M. Thompson, Field Agent of the
United States Shipping Board Recruit
ing Service, now In this section.
The Shipping Board also wants to
hear direct from experienced men who
can serve as officers.

Machiiniists
Hold A Monster Meeting,
Hall Couldn't Accommodate
Them All AT One Time.

What is conceded to be the largest
attended meeting ever held by the To-
cal Machinists' Union No. 241, was
the one held Wednesday night of this
week A vast amount of routine bust
ness was transacted and large number
of applicants were initiated into the
organization.
In order that the new members
could enter the hall, many of the old
ones had to find places in the hall
ways. Standing room throughout the
building was at . premium.
Brother Chas. T. Nicholson of the
International Executive Board, was
present and addressed the meeting.
The talk that he gave to those pres
ent was one that will be long remem-
bered. 1t was brimful of patriotism
and loyalty to the country and the or
ganization. The. men said that they
could have listened to Brother Nichol-
son for hours and are hoping to hear
him soon again.
From reports brought in by the var
ious shop committees the situation re-
sulting from the request for higher
wages is growing serious.
Immediately after the meeting the
executive committee of the local held
meeting.

WOMEN CONDUCTORS STRIKE E.

Kenosha, Wis.-The Wisconsin Gas
and Electric company has been shock
ed by walk out of women employed
as conductors on its street cars. This
city was among the first to employ
women conductors and now these
women have joined with 100 male
employees who struck to enforce a
wage demand of 35 cents an hour
The distressing feature of this stu
alton is that the problem of finding
a conductor who will work for low
wages and who refuses to strike is
still unsolved.

1t was also reported that the or

The North of England Steamship as
ISOLATION is anxious about the present
and future shipbuilding position OF
Great Britain, and has adopted reso-
tuition expressing deep concern over
the fact that large orders have been
placed with British shipbuilders by
neutral owners at f25 per ton for de-
livery after the war. This was regard
ed as a serious menace to the mari
time supremacy of the country. The
amounts recovered for vessels lost
could not possibly be sufficient to re-
place tonnage at anything like such a
figure and the association called on
the government to take such steps as
would enable British owners to rehabiI-
stata the British mercantile marine.

LONG WORKING DAY
DECREASES OUTPUT.

1t has been the experience of
England, In the readjustment of
her industrial establishment TO
meet the necessities Of war, that
insistence on an abnormally long
working day has not only de-
creased output but has exhaust
ed the working forces in a man
ner that threatened seriously to
impair their capacity for their
tasks. At present the eight
hour day is regarded generally
as more economical In most call
ings than a longer day; In cer-
tain particularly difficult trades
a shorter day is imposed by the
strain of the occupations.
