The Industries Deserters

Lloyd George has again demonstrated

returned to work at this writing, but the
greater part of them have and the rest will,
or, as Mr.. George declares, they will have a
chance to exchange their safe and comforta-
BILE berths in the muntion factories for
places on the firing line There was but one
thing for the British government to do under
the circumstances and they did it. 1t was
perhaps a bold thing to confront two or
three hundred thousand strikers with the de-
mand that they work or fight, but there was
no alternative
No class of men have ever appeared in
a more inexcusable attitude than those who,
retained at home for the purpose of supply
ing the armies with munitions, desert those
armies in crisis like this. The sentiment
Of England made itself felt very promptly
in condemnation of the strikers. Their own
leaders denounced their action, appealed to
them in the name of the honor of labor, but
nothing worked so effectually as the knowl-
edge of the fact that they were confronted
by choice of returning Immediately to their
tasks or starting on their way to the front
We have few men in that class in this
country and we should not hesitate to deal
with them in the same fashion. The gov
eminent has taken pains TO protect the rights
Of labor and it viii do so, but it certainly will
not parley long with slackers in the ranks of
industry whose desertion of their posts in
time. Of war is just as disastrous and as dis
honorable as the desertion of men on the
battlefront Minneapolis Tribune.

WHEN HITCHCOCK WAS NOT SLOW.

"Mr. Hitchcock was bit slow in realizing
that the duty of this country was not peace, but
war, and that its place was by the side Of Britain,
France and Belgium, with shining sword un-
sheathed," says the Omaha Hyphenated, apollo
gzing for its owners pro-German activity. Yes,
indeed, he was slow; so slow, in fact, that lot
OF folks are doubtful as to whether he has yet
fully realized that the duty OF this country was
not peace, but war" On the other hand, he was
swiftness itself in flying to the aid OF the kaiser
On August l9, 1914, less than three weeks after
the war had started, he introduced in the senate
bill to prevent either of the Entente Allies from
borrowing money, selling bonds Or securing any
financial help in this country. On December 7,
1914, he presented his bill to put an embargo on
arms Should one of these measures have passed
it would have made the kaisers victory certain
and speedy, for it would have left Britain,
France and Belgium helpless before the Blonde

as an unneutral act. Mr.. Hitchcock might have

the Liberty Loan Bonds, the Wa; Savings
Certificates and Thrift Stamp campaigns and
invested literally in all these issd,s The
first Liberty Loan -atl caused considerable
withdrawal from these associations, and this
for time halted building operations. but
the members gradually adjusted themselves
to the new conditions, exercised greater
economy, With the result that they no. only
made their usual payments, but also ac-
tually laid aside little more during the year
than was their custom in ordinary times.
There is no doubt but that the thrift cam
paign inaugurated by the federal government
has had and is having stimulating effect
upon the members of building associations.
making them more frugal and developing in
them more firmly the saving habit.
The increase in assets during the last year
was little over $170,000000, and the associa-
ton loaned out on mortgage security $492,-
100000. There are in the United States
1869 associations with aggregate assets of
$l,76o,l42,l75. and total membership Of
3838,ol2. This is an increase of 1917 associa-
tons, 270,l80 members and $l70,514039 in
assets over the report of last year. The in
crease in membership was rs per cent, while
the increase in assets was 106 per cent. The
average amount due each member is $460.37,
as aSaluot pTTF'|o, tHC dlilOullL SHOWu last
year.
The aggregate receipts for 1917 from all
sources were $l,220,600,65a, which is an in
crease of $l58,687,635 over the receipts of
the previous year. The receipts from weekly
dues were increased $37,647, $50, from paid-up
stock S6,7S3893, and from deposits $23,l96,-

Gus year in mortgage loans made of $78,-
8O5,48l. Stock Withdrawals increased $7,175.-
32l, paid-up stock $l5,Slo,998 and deposit
Withdrawals were $7,7S9,840 in excess of 1916.
