wounded men to the front has focused
attention on the attitude of engineer
ing and ship building employees along
the Clyde, where the trouble has been
most active. Sir Auckland declared
many young men in essential indus
tries had acted as though they held a
privileged position. He said they
must share the burden with the
others.
Engineers Fight COnseriptiOn.
At a meeting in the Clyde district
Sunday the engineers and ship build
ers decided to strike If the govern

before the end of January and a peace
conference called
The rebuke given these men by Sir
Auckland Geddes generally is en-

menace. J. Ramsay Macdonald, labor
leader. who has just returned from
the Clyde. says the situation needs
very careful handling. He thought
reference to fathers was most unjust
and feared il " Ould have very bad
effect.
Workmen Think They Have Bargain.
Mr.. Macdonald said the view of the
workmen was that they had a defln-
tie bargain by which il had been
agreed to give the government GER
tain support. and the government was
now trying TO repudiate its side OF
the bargain
The press condemns the malcontents
warmly. the Daily News describing
the threat to strike as a betrayal Of
freedom and a tabbing of sons and
brothers in the back A liberal mem
Der OF parliament is quoted as say

Want An Excuse to End War.
'HThe men want an excuse TO end
the war and this is as good as any
other. They want to cause a general
strike 10 prevent the output Of mu-
nitions and make war impossible
They are also talking OF delivering
an ultimatu to the government 20
provide industrial districts with
plenty OF food TO have a strike"
In the Hobbies OF parliament the
opinion is expressed that II a strike
occurs il is not likely to last long.

were training in the Vosges. and
French papers carried the names OF

said to America. and nothing can be
said yet
Thus writes Haywood Broun, writ

American army headquarters in
France. Continuing. he draws
strong Indictment OF the censor s

airplane flew over the camp and
dropped a message. saying. Hello,
Americans, We know you're there.
but we aren't going to bother you

OF course. the German intelligence
