Strike Threatened Against
Employing Nonunion
Men Of Draft Age.

A complete wslkout of telegraph op-
orators Is threatened on or about
April q unless the telegraph compa-
nies stop shutting out union men, as
is charged by the workers.
Information to this effect has been
brought to the attention of Secretary
Of Labor Wilson by a committee Of
operators. headed by C. H. Ludwig,
member Of the Eastern general COM
mittee Of the Commercial telegraph
ers' Union If America.
The charge is made that the COM
panies. by locking out union employ
ers. are seriously hinderIng govern
ment war business. Union men
above the draft age. 1t is declared,
are refused employment. while the
companies at the same time seek ex-
emption from military service for
non-union operators Of draft age on
the plea Of Industrial necessity.
The union leaders demand that
the Government force the companies
t2 an arbitration of the workers de-
niands Just as they have forced other
employers engaged in vital war in
dustries to arbitrate.
Government kilograms of vital i'm
portance in speeding up the war work
are seriously delayed by the un-
American tactics of the telegraph
companies in not aVailing themselves
Of the extra services OF thousands of
expert telegraphers employed inde-
pendently." Mr.. Ludwig said yester-
day.
A call has been issued for ''organi-

German Losses stin Heavy.

Frightful German loss Of life is
again reported in todays military in
formation here. The British military
attache reports that twenty-five Ger
man divisions were used by the Crown
Prince In his last weeks attempt to
drive down the somms to Amiens.
It Is not asserted that all Of these
divisions were destroyed. So many
men were put out Of action by the
withering British nre which they
faced in their solid masses, however,
that 1t became necessary for the
Crown Prince to throw in fresh units
to that number.
The allied counter blow, n Is
thought. will not be launched with
the great reserve army until It is
certain that the German striking
power has been exhausted. It n be-
lieved that General Foch will hold
the present lines as long as possible
without drawing on his precious re-
serves. Indications are tonight that
the line can be held almost inden.
nitely.

v v Preparing for the Great Thrift Drive

.E7T1 HERE is to be an intensive War
 U Savings or Thrift Stamp drive in all parts of the country and Ala bama is sure to give a good account of itself when the campaign gets in full swing.
 The two billion dollars sought to be raised in the United States by the War Savings method will be raised, but in order to do 1t there must be thorough organization in every state and in every county of the state.
 Alabama is fairly we'll organized. State Director Crawford Johnson is supported by county chairmen who are eager to do everything possible to help win the war and who realize the necessity of the closest cooperation of all the school teachers and school children. When. all the children are enlisted in the cause the results will be all that the most ardent campaign leader could expect.
 Let the work of preparation for the drive be pushed with redoubled lenarov
