CREATED ARMY OF WORKERS
Remarkable Increase in Number Of
Men Employed in United
States Shipyards.

Less than year ago there were not
$4,000 men employed in American
shipyards. Today there are more than
100000 skilled mechanics and laborers
engaged in building ships and 25O,00O
more employed in making the engines,
boilers, winches and other machinery
necessary to equip them.
This tremendous expansion by
which the United States hopes to put
into service a new merchant marine
that will rival the trading fleet of any
nation in the world has been accom-
plished in methodical fashion, without
any .fnss ana feaf her. . but achieving
result that industry long will regard
as one of the most brilliant victories
of the war. 1t has been brought about
by the shipping board through recog-
milton of the principle that unframed
men can become skilled workmen only
through competent instruction. One Of
the first tasks of the shipping board
therefore was the creation of divi-
sion of education and training, which
has supervised the establishment Of
training centers and the development
of instructors among the foremen and
superintendents.

combIna out shipyards.

New draft regulations which will
take from the exempt classifications
thousands of men employed in ship
yards are being prepared at Wash,
ington, according to Lieut.. Col. J. 5,
Easby-Smith, representative of Pro
vost Marshal Crowder, who visited
Philadelphia investigating selective
draft conditions.
The new regulations 1t is said are
designed to place in military service
men who are now exempt simply be-
cause they are working In shipyards
and whose places can be taken by men
In other deferred classes under the
work or fight" order. Actual ship
builders and technical men will not
be affected by the new rules.

No Limiting of Production.

Roger Babson, who Is one of the
most reliable advisers of labor In the
United States, gives good advice when
lie says: "Workingmen should have
their right in red to collective ac-
tion, including collective bargaining.
In a very real sense they should be
made partners in the business with q
share in the profits and, at least along
certain lines, a share in the control.
But there must be no limiting of pro-
Guction, no reduction Of the efficiency
of the skillful and hardworking men
to the plane Of the shiftless and inef.
ficient." 1t remains for the laboring
men of every craft to see to it that
individual initiative Is not lost through
the limiting of individual production

FULL EDUCATION FOR ALL
Leader of British Labor Party Says
Nothing Else Will Satisfy Mem
bers of the Organization.

Not until the fullest educational op-
portunities are opened to every child,
irrespective of the income or circum-
stances Of its parents, will the British
labor party be satisfied, said Arthur
Henderson, leader Of that party. at
a conference the other day. Mr.. Hen
derson added that the labor party
welcomed the new educational bin
now before parliament as "at least
an installment Of long overdue re-
forms.

German Wages Doubled.

According to the imperial statis-
tical office, wages in Germany for both
men and women workers rose by more
than 100 per cent between March,
1914, and September, 1917. The rate
Of increase has risen still higher mean
time. Wages sank temporarily In
September, 1914, but have advanced
steadily ever since. The rate of rise
was highest between September, 1916,
and March, 1917. The Berliner Tage-
blatt points out that:
"No opinion as to the actual value
of this heavy increase in wages is
properly to be deduced unless one Is
able to compare 1t with the increase

With the American First Army, Oct
17.-Plunging through belts of German
wire in the face of showers Of hand
grenades, the men Of the First army
have mopped up Grandpre, crossing
the pass through the Argonne, and are
pushing on. Captured German orders
stated that Grandpre must be held at
all costs.
A new Prussian guard division was
encountered In this fighting, making a
total Of 20 such divisions encountered
since the beginning Of the American
offensive.
Rapid Work by Ysnks.
At the start of the present phase Of
the assault, the Americans. jumped of
at $50 o'clock in the morning, and
gained their first objective at some
points with great alacrity.
In many cases there was only slight
opposition, due to the deadliness OF the
Yankee artillery fire.
In the region Of Cunel and Bois de
Foret, the Germans used "clackers, :
which made the same sound as ma
chine guns. These machines led astray
our troops searching for the machine
gun nests. Thiswas especially the case
when the clacker boxes were located
behind the doughboys.
South Of the Aisne the Americans
are digging In.
The Americans have captured st. Ju-
win heights and have advanced north
ward from them. Two hundred and
forty prisoners were taken (St. Juvin
is just east of Grandpre)
Batter Krlemhlde Line.
Americans are battering another
breach in the Kriemhilde line in the re.

fighting with the utmost desperation
A break between the Aisne and Meuse
rivers means collapse Of the entire
German front in this sector.
Should the Americans break through
here the enemy's left flank would be
shattered, and the effect would prob
ably be felt all along the line which
has been showed back by recent as
saults Of the allies farther north.

The way is being cleared for a fur

The Americans, steadily pushing on
are narrowing the avenue through

Rapid gains by the British and French
to the northward make 1t necessary
for the Boche to offer the stfffest re

There are no indications that the

warns Of Coal MInino Troubles.


"Work full time, work hard, and
make no request for increased wages"
is, in effect, the demand made upon
every union miner Of Illinois by the
head Of their organization, Frank Far
rington, president Of District No. II
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
At the same time Mr.. Harrington
demands that mine operators and
owners stop what he calls the
"damnable practice Of paying premi-
ums" over and above the wage scale
fixed by national joint agreement un-
der the Lever act and ratified by the
United States fuel administration.
There is trouble brewing, Mr.. Far
rington asserts, and selfish mine own
ers and operators. not the mine work
ers, are stirring 1t up. They will
be to blame, he further tells the OPP
orators, If there Is another "rebel-
lion" among the miners, such as cut
down production last year.
