WON'T ATTEND FARLEY.

Washington-The American trade
union movement was not represented
in an interallied labor conference,
held in London, February 20. In
cable to Arthur Henderson, President
Gompers said:
"Your January 16 letter reached
me late Saturday, February 9, and
brought to attention executive coun-
ell American Federation Of Labor in
session on eleventh We regret that
circumstances make impossible to be
represented in the interallied labor
conference, London, February 20.
Executive council in declaration
unanimously declared we cannot
meet with representatives Of those
who are aligned against us in this
world war for freedom, but we hope
they will sweep away the barriers
which they have raised between US
All should be advised that any one
presuming to represent labor of
America in your conference is simply
self-constituted and unrepresentative.
We hope shortly to send delegation of
representative workers Of American
labor emovement to England and to
France. Please convey our fraternal
greetings to the interallied labor
conference and assure them that we
are pledged and will give our man
power and at least half we have in
wealth power in the struggle to Sc
cure for the world justice, freedom
and democracy

NEW RESTRICTION ORDERED
BY FOOD COMMISSION.

Several new rulings Of interest
have been made by the food admins
tration, probably the two most i'm
portant having to do with forbidding
the purchase of barley by brewers,
and the limiting of the amount of
flour that may be used in bread and
pastry served in public eating
places.
Brewers are positively forbidden to
purchase barley to be used in the
manufacture of beer. They may use
the supply they have on hand, which
will probably last from three to six
months, but when that is gone no
more may be bought. This is done
to conserve the barley supply, which
is being used as a substitute for
-four.
The other important ruling states
that hotels, restaurants, dining cars,
boarding and other public
eating places, which use three bar
rels of -four a month, must serve
Victory bread and pastry. All pastry
must contain a third of wheat substi-
tutes, while batter cakes and griddle
cakes must contain three-quarters of
wheat substitutes.

MARK TWAIN'S LOYALTY.

My kind of loyalty is loyalty to
ones country, not to its institutions
or it's office holders. The country is
the real thing, the substantial thing,
the eternal thing; it is the thing to
watch over and care for and be loyal
to; institutions are eXraneous, they
are it's mere clothing, and clothing
can wear out, become ragged, cease
to be comfortable, cease to protect
the body from winter, disease and
death. To be loyal to rags, to shout
for rags, to worship rags, to die for
rags-that is loyalty Of unreason; it
is pure animal; it belongs to mon
archy; was invented by monarchy;
let monarchy keep it. The citizen
who thinks he sees that the com
monwealth's political clothes are
worn out, and yet holds his peace and
does not agitate for a new suit, is
disloyal; he is a traitor. Mark
Twain, in "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court"

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS GOING
FAST.

That sales of War Savings Stamps
have passed the $60,OO0,000 mark
and have been accommodating at the
rate of more than $2,000,000 a day
is the gratifying news from Wash
ington. These facts constitute sub
stantial evidence that there are mil
lions of intelligent American citizens
who are Loyalty combining saving and
thrift with their other patriotic duties.
An appeal has been issued to the
100000 workers enrolled in the vari-
Gus divisions Of the War Savings
organization to make an extra effort
in the next few weeks to farther
spread the gospel of thrift to the
end that the full financial strength of
the nation may be placed behind the
military branch of the government.
While every endeavOr should be en-
listed to carry on trade and commerce,
it must be borne in mind that in war
times unusual actions are demanded
10 meet Ine uIllSudl COHulIlOHS. VI
instance, there must be no cOmpeti
tion with the government for labor
and materials.
Again, it is absolutely necessary
that every man with surplus should
offer it to those who are financing
the great conflict. Following this
thought, each man, woman and child
should endeavor to produce a surplus
that may be invested. It's size is Of
no consequence, because the govern
ment will take even a twenty-five
cent piece. Every person, without
distinction, is in duty bound on this
account to heed the appeal from
Washington "to spread the gospel of
thift and savings so that there will
be a militant army of savers to put
War Savings Certificates and the
next Liberty Loan over the top"

In discussing the Hog island situa-
ton in the house, Congressman Alex
ander, chairman of the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, said:
81 would be reluctant to say that
the American international corpora
ton, which is the child of the Ma
tional City bank (New York city),
and of the subsidiary corporation
directly engaged in building the plant
at Hog island, did not intend to carry
out their contract in good faith and
safeguard in every possible way the
interests of the government. But
they have failed, signally failed, thus
far to do so. But great waste is in
evidence everywhere and the manner
in which the governments funds have
been squanderd is a public scandal" ."
Poor food is one of the causes for
labor dissatisfaction at Hog island,
according to Rear Admiral Bowles,
who charges that workers suffer
poisoning in a mild form and are
charged 80 cents for a meal that costs
II cents. The ship building corpora
tion is making a profit at the rate Of
$1,800,000 on this item alone.

WILL PROBE HOG ISLAND.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
directed government officials to in
vestigate the contracts relating to the
ship building at Hog island, near
Philadelphia, conducted by the Amer
lean international corporation.
The president said an inquiry
should be made into charges of graft
"with a view to instituting criminal
process in case the facts justify it, y
and that the very serious facts which
have recently been developed care so
serious, indeed, that do not think we
can let them be taken care of merely
by public disclosures and discus
sions."
A senate Investigating committee
finds that a group of eastern capital
lists secured contracts to build ships
at Hog island, the government to pay
all costs and the capitalists to receive
about $6,O00,000 for possessing the
"know how" of ship building. Other
profits will mount into the millions.
1t has since developed that none Of
these capitalists have had any expert
ence in this industry. Charges of
graft, incompetency and inefficiency
are freely made. A sentiment is
strong in some quarters to have the
government take over the entire Hog
island venture.

FIRST ANNUAL BALL OF H. &

The first annual ball of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Association
No. 799, held on Thursday evening
of last week, at Fromholtz hall, was
a social and financial success. Each
member of this fourishing and pro-
gressive young local made it special
duty to see that their guests were
entertained in a fitting maner and
spared no effort to that end. An
evening of unalloyed pleasure was
the result. The only "kick" made was
tha the final dance came too early

REJECT "EIGHT-HOUR" DAY.

Washington-The A. F. of L. is
aiding the National Federation of
Federal Employees in it's fight against
Congressman Borland's alleged "eight
hour" day. Government employees
now work minimum of seven and
one-half hours, with half an hour
lunch time included. This irritates
Congressman Borland, whose home is
in Kansas City, Mo. The lawmaker
can see nothing more important in
these war times than to increase
hours. He talks of "union hours" but
hi s amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill makes no reference
to overtime or extra pay, which are

,ABOR MUST WATCH CONGRESS-
Senate Paving Way For Industrial
COnscriptiOn.

In spite of Secretary Wilson's re-
peated declarations that the war can
be won and must be won without
draft labor, certain elements here
are pushing straight ahead for in
dustrial conscription. The Senate
Committee on Military Affairs has
reported out Senate Joint Resolution
1913, amending the draft act, which
provides, briefly, that the admin
istration may call into immediate
service skilled experts in industry
and agriculture, however classified
or wherever residing"
If that sounds harmless to you on
first reading, then read it again! The
sole purpose of calling into govern
ment service "skilled experts in in
dustry and agriculture" is to put
them to work. They will be assigned
to work in "industry and agri-
culture" but they will be under mill
tary discipline. That is industrial
conscription, the beginning of the
"Servile State" against which the
English workers throughout the war
have resolutely fought.
The present draft law now applies
in its entirety to 100000 men be-
tween the ages Of tWenty-one and
thirtv-one. It's primary function is
to raise an army. But it recognizes
that some vOcations are so essential
to winning the war that it authorizes
the military authorities to exempt
workers whose everyday work is con-
sidered essential All it does is to
exempt-it doesn't take man from
one Job and thrust him, willy nilly,
into another. That would be indus
trial conscription, the real article.
But the law as it stands simply
leaves untouched, the men whose in
dustrial services are rated of greater
value than their military services.
But under the proposed industrial
COHSSIIptiOi dIlSilstIsiSsit, tLLC SONN IL
ment can take a man from one job
and thrust him, willy nilly into an
other. 1t can canvass the entire list
Iof 10,0O0,000 men married, single,
able bodied and otherwise and can
draft those which are skilled in in
dustry or agriculture" and put them
under military discipline, at any Oc-
cupatiOn which il desires. 1t can do
this regardless of their residence,
their classification, the condition of
their domestic affairs or anything
else.
On the face Of it this amendment
would permit General Crowder to
seize half the mechanics of Phila-
delphia who are on the draft registra-
tion list and put them to work at
Hog Island, rolling up profits for
Frank A. Vanderlip and the Inter
national Trading Corporation. Per-
haps the amendment can be so
changed as to prevent the govern
ment from drafting labor for private
profit, but that will not be done un-
less the American Federation OF La
Dor and other bodies get mighty busy
in the Senate and the House.

features of union conditions. He
talks of government employees being
in "favored Glass;" because they
have 3O-days' leave every year, but
he fails to state that this leave is
optional with department officials.
The objectional amendment was
put in the house agricultural appro-
priation bill when few members were
in attendance and the bill is now in
the hands of the senate agricultural
committee. This fight is most i'm
portant, for if a precedent can be
created it will be applied to all other
departments. Trade unionists are
urged to write their senators to vote
against the Borland "eight-hour"
amendment.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT
THE FRONT. August IL tdelayedl.-
The German artillery is beginning to
reappear in violent local lombard
ments. SUIT still there are no German
airplanes on the French, front. Ger
man aviation has been disrupted

One remarkable detail Of our Of
fensive was the tactical skill with
which the tanks and infantry worked
together. Tank tactics have under
gone great development since the
French first used them in the spring
OF 1917 The only tanks then existing
were large. slow and unwieldy and
were flung like a great herd of ele-
plants against the German lines in
two places in April. 1917. The tanks
went through. but the infantry was
unable to follow. The Germans coun-
ter attacked on the infantry's flank.
thus cutting off the Infantry from
the tanks. SO the latter were obliged
TO turn about and charge back
escape.
Two Theories Are Evolved.
Study Of this operation by French
experts led to the evolution Of two

number. to be used not to precede. but
TO support the infantry. Thus In the

of four to six. followed behind the in-
fantry. When the latter encountered
undestroyed machine gun nests they
would pause while the tanks came
forward and reduced the machine
guns. The infantry would then con-
tinue to advance. the tanks returning
to the rear to await another call from
the infantry.
Meanwhile. the brilliant English
surprise attack at Cambria revealed
still another use for tanks-namely in
surprise attacks to crush roads
through barbed wire through which
the infantry could pass. thus obviat-

With the delivery of the first of .
series of small. fast. mobile tanks this
spring. the French began to develop q
system of infantry attacks whereby
the tanks would accompany the troops
at regular intervals along the whole
line, crushing their way through the
barbed wire, and at need attacking
machine gun nests and batteries.
Experiments in Counter Attacks.
Several small experiments were
made in local counter attacks and it
was found that as the tanks always
drew a concentrated flre upon them
selves the infantry had a tendency to
drop behind and let the tanks go
ahead. thus breaking the liaison be-
tween tanks and the infantry to the
detriment of both. To obviate this
divisions were given special tank tao
tics.

-Belasco Program Contains Words OF
Anthem in Full-P1an OF
Association.

In an announcement printed in this
weeks program of the Belasco Theater
patrons are urged to stand and sing
America" when the orchestra plays
the anthem.
The words of the anthem are printed
in full on the inside of the back cover
page of the program, with the request
that every one attending any perform
ance at the theatcr join in the singing.
1t is announced that this is to be
regular feature at every performance.
1t is part of the propaganda being
carried on by the National Anthem As
sociation. which is endeavoring to in
duce every patriotic American to learn
the words of America" and THE Star
Spangled Banner" and to join in sing
ing the songs whenever the airs are
played by orchestras or bands.
Other theaters of the city are ex-
pected to join in the movement, which
originated in this city. Theaters in
Baltimore and in various parts of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Maryland. it
is stated already have taken up the
movement and the singing of the an
thems has become a regular feature of
all performances. 1t is intended to en-
large the movement until it shall have
become nationwide in scope.
