Those British Strikes.
p. w. Wilson. in New York Tribune.

Much attention is being paid here to
strikes In Great Britain. It Is serious
matter, but 1t should be seen in its true
proportions At q recent date the returns
show that under 4 per cent of British
labor was employed. This means that taxi
ing the year as a whole there have been
very few idle hours. In one or two cases
strikes have broken. out because continu-
Gus work has got on peoples nerves, and
something Is to be said for granting regu-
lar leave to munition workers like that
granted to soldiers. Under the iron dis
cipline OF Germany 1t Is probable that
there have been as many labor troubles
as In Britain
Our latest dispute has broken out not
which hitherto have been the perilous
areas Apparently this is not syndicafist
trouble. The center of it is Birmingham,
known hitherto as a city most outspoken
for Its patriotism. the stronghold OF the
Chamberlain family, and exclusively.con-
sentative IN Its parliamentary representa-
ton. Women are unaffected and nothing
has shaken their resolution to beat Ger
many. The difficulty lies with the Anal
gamated Society of Engineers. The leaders
OF the union are against the strike. The
strike is therefore unauthorized by labor
itself, and it is unpopular with other
unions and even with the unskilled men
in the engineering trades.
Earlier in the war there were exempted
Industries, and chief among them was
skilled engineering Immense numbers OF
young men Joined the union and so OBJ
tanned the badge which relieved them
from the duty of voluntary military serv-

AMERICA WILL MAKE
ITS OWN GLOVES NOW
New Processes Found Enables
Manufacturers to Duplicate
German Work.

Washington. = Technical difficulties
encountered by American manufacture
ers in the production Of high grade
cotton gloves have. been overcome and
goods of this kind, made in the United
States" will be placed on the market
this fall
A review of the industry by the tariff
commission said that the domestic pro-
duct which has been evolved Is Of ex-
,cellent quality. One of the most diff
cult things to achieve has been the
velvety suede finish, which gives the
gloves the appearance of leather. "Du-
picking" or combining OF two thick
ness Of cloth In heavier gloves also
has given trouble.
Prior to 1914, no sueded cotton gloves
were made in this country. Ninety per
cent Of those imported came from Ger
many. Manufacturers have been ex-
perimenting in an endeavor to produce
an article which would supplant the
German goods for all time and ap-
parently now have succeeded.
The United States Is the only coun-
try in the world in which the manu-
facture Of work gloves is OF any i'm.
portance. About $12,000.000 worth OF
such cotton gloves are made annually
in this country for home consumption.
These gloves are made In several hun
dred different styles and are used in
great number Of Industries, from
candy making to ship building.
For the year ending June 80, 1914,
imports of cotton gloves Of all kinds
were valued at So, 84,039.24; during the
year ending June 30, 1917. only 1908,
b65 worth Of cotton gloves was brought
Into the United States
The price Of the German made
gloves averaged SO cents pair to the
American consumer; the price now
averages $1.0o q pair. Not all of the
increase should be ascribed to the
higher cost of production in the United
States, however, as 1t is partly due
to an increase in the general level of
prices, the commission says.
From 1890 to 1909, with the excep-
ton Of the years 1894 to 1897, the rate
OF duty on cotton gloves was so per
cent ad valorem. From 1894 to 1897
the rate was 40 per cent. An attempt
was made in 1909 to encourage the
manufacture of cotton gloves of the
sort worn by policemen, and by SOL
diers and sailors when on parade. A
duty equivalent to about 85. per cent
ad valorem was placed on gloves of
this sort by the tariff Of 1909, but the
total value Of gloves of this sort made
in this country has been small. The
rate of duty on cotton gloves, by what
ever process made, was reduced to IS
per cent ad valorem in 1913.

Tho French Woman Praised.
From the London Star.

The French woman must be reckoned
with in every financial transaction of her
family. and she has ability as well as
energy. The French nation is noted for
its saving habits, and, to the woman be-
longs the credit; as f3nanciers, the French
women are superior to the men. Wherever
you go In France you see the women in
evidence. They do more work than any
other women in the world, in spite of
their reputation for being gay, and they
are SO clever that French cooking and
French styles are famous over the world.
No Frenohman makes decision without
consulting his wife. because he has
learned to respect her Judgment. Much
or the sane prosperity OF France is due
to her women. In certain lines Of French
business. particularly sl1opkeeping, the
voman's guidance and help are con-
sidered 20 necessary that the man with
out wife. sitter. or aunt will not embark
In them.

Initiation.
From the Milwaukee Journa,

From the Milwaukee Journal
Much has been said about initiation,
Most people ignore the meaning Of the
term because Initiation comes upon the
country SO silently and gradually that It's
effect is not noticed. In war time there
is an inevitable expansion OF the credit
currency outrunning the needs OF the
business done. A cheapened medium Of
exchange means injustice and suffering
to all those with more or loss fixed in
comes. The cost Of the war. OF course, in
creases In the same proportion as the de-
crease In the value of monaH. This in
turn necessitates heavier taxation and
more bond issues, and SO the vicious circle
runs. To a large extent, these are bur-
dens incident to the war but they can
be made lighter by consistent saving II
everyone will save TO the utmost, the
financial and monetary situation will not
get out Of hand.

Ice, as 1t then was. The union thus be-
came, as 1t were. a guarantor against MILF
tary service-not OF course officially, but
by the very fact that 1t had accepted 80
many new members. The less responsible
OF these workers are now trying to en-
force their privilege. They fnsist upon
being regarded as Indispensable, and they
dislike anything which limits their moe
bility. Leaving certificates were there-
fore abolished, but since then there has
arisen what has been called the embargo.
which, as described here, apportions to
each manufacturing concern the number
OF men essential to its war output. The
engineers do not like this. apparently be-
cause it revives the leaving certificates in
another form.
The answer of the government Is simple.
The right to strike Is not denied. But the
strikers are, told that in so far as they
cease work they cannot be regarded as
essential, which means that they become
liable to- military service. One personal
factor should be noted. Winston Church
i'll Is minister of munitions and very
vigorous personality. He Is not liked by
labor, but IN saying this must add that
the difficulty which confronts him is not
of his making. Mr. Henderson, Mr.. Hodge
and Mr.. Barnes have all tried their hand
in it.
The strike will be discouraged by public
opinion. But every such incident affords
opportunities for those who are led by
their religious or their socialist convfc-
lions to advocate an early peace.

Alien Enemy Offers
Unique Airp1ane to
Fight Countrymen

Waterloo. March 21.-Altho he is in
jail as a dangerous alien enemy, Her
man Kummerow, Of Cedar Falls, a
skilled cabinet maker, has an applica-
ton in the United States patent office
for unique type Of airplane. He says
it will be the most efficient aircraft in
existence from the viewpoint Of de-
struction to the enemy, and he is will
ing to turn 1t over to the American
government for activity against his ma
tive country, Germany
The airship is composed Of two par
allel tubes, held together by a steel
frame. The fans which furnish the
driving power are in the tubes. The
motor IL on the frame between the
tubes. Mr.. Kummerow claims advan-
tage in destructive power because the
guns can be surmounted on either tube,
permitting the firing Of a broadside
upon the enemy. He also claims that
the steering apparatus is superior to
that Of al other aircraft because Of its
quick turning power.
Mr.. Kummerow was arrested on a
presidents warrant. No hearing is
necessary He is to be committed to
the nearest prison and held until pa
rolled at the suggestion Of the legal
department of the federal government
A. P. Houston, Dubuque, deputy

him like It, too!
You see. by this time I'm wise
enough to know that the reason

Is that they aren't cooked right
SO l set to work to cook spinach in
a way that I knew even Jim couldn't
resist. FhG secret is AL SAUCE.
He would cat nails think, if they
were favored with that sauce!
This is how l did it, in case you
want to try it on your Jim!
l washed the spinach we'll, put it
in q covered kettle and cooked it
with a tablespoonful of bacon fat
until it wasa tender. Then l chopped
it fine, and seasoned it with salt,
