Keeping Workers Amused

"The greatest problem with war workers Il
keeping them amused" says J. n. Connor, who is
IN rye of the welfare work at the United
States Explosives Plant &C. at Nitro, w. Va For
unless the workers able to find entertainment
they won't work.
Eat the present time there 5000 workmen
at Nitro and it is planned to increase that number
to 10000. But despite the high wages it is diff
cult to keep the $4,000 there Wages are almost
unbelievably high. For example: Office boys are
started at $75 a month; stenographers at $50.
and I have the weekly pay envelopes of
many carpenters with more than 500 inside
However, it is an actual fact that 70 per cent or
the workmen who are transported there at the
expense of the government disappear en- route
and more than 80 per cent of those who arrive do
not stay more than two three days
You see, Nitro is a new town about twelve
miles from Charlestown. w. Va. It's IN dry sec
ton of the country with absolutely nothing to at
tract workers Except high wages. And as soon
the majority of workers save a bank roll they
depart for pleas;nter and wetter chimes.
THAT'S why welfare department has been es-
tablished at this plant. where million pounds of
powder will be manufactured daily when every

what wages paid

being done in the most modern plants We have

CANDIDACY Of BERGER
Says Fight Is C1ean-Cut in Wiscon-
sin Between Loyalty and
Disloyalty.

OcoNTo, wis, March 29-ITnited
States Senator Key Pittman Of Nevada,
speaking in behalf Of the candidacy Of
last night that Victor L. Berger, the
socialist candidate, will get every
disloyal vote in the state" He referred
to Representative Irvine L. Lenroot,
the republican candidate. as "a sup
porter Of our cause in the war and a
half-supporter Of the commander-in-
chief of the Army"
He said in part: "Mr. Lenroot has diff
ferent ideas with regard to the conduct
Of this government from those enter
States: he has different views with re-
gard to the rights of our people; he
has different views as to what consti-
tutes the honor Of this government;
he has not always stood behind the
commander-in-ch chief of our Army. and
I do not believe that he always would
stand behind the President of the
United States.
''Mr. Berger Is the socialist candidate.
He represents those socialistic points
leading socialists in this country as
disloyal to our government and de-
structive to our cause in this war.
Berger to Get Every Disloyal Vote.
while Mr.. Lenroot Is a supporter Of
our cause in the war and a half sup
porter of the commander-in-ch chief OF tho
Army. Mr.. Berger Is an opponent Of our
cause in this war and bitter oppo-
nent of every policy and plan of our
commander-in- chief.
The fight Is clean-cut in this state
between loyalty and disloyalty; a fight
between that candidate who is openely
tnd entirely in opposition to the Pres
ident and that candidate who is with
him heart and soul no matter where he
may lead. Berger will get every dis
loyal vote in this state. and Berger
cannot be defeated unless every loyal
vote is given to the candidate whose
position in this fight is above and be-
yond question"

In part, Mr.. Davies said:
Party politicians are trying to whip

This is the darkest hour of the war.
Nothing could be more unfortunate
than disunion between the executive
and legislative branches of the govern

do not mean it ts extraordinary that
good-fellowship exists--we rather take
that for granted--but by It's quality.
The relationship between the Ameri-
can officer and the American private is
quite unlike that between officer and
soldier in any other army Of which
have knowledge. In this Army they
are really friends.
The general had Just been saying
that he accounted himself extremely
lucky to be able to take part in this
great adventure on which the Ameri-

to the colonel:

he. Company Cs cook?'
Imagine a general and a colonel in
any other army knowing company
cook! The general told of a talk he
had had with Williams, in the course OF
one of his inquiries into how the men
are getting along. Williams had been
particularly happy that day. He was
whistling at his work and as the gen.
eral approached the cook shack he saw
