A TRIBUTE FROM DENMARK.

Americas part in the war has moved Denmark
TO astonshed admiration. Here is a need OF gen
erous praise from the Copenhagen Poiken:
'sWhat America has achieved is world
record which no European country can match.
An army has been created which il has been
possible so move 10 France and which has
changed the fortunes OF the war commercial
fleet is now being constructed which in few
years will make America the greatest sea
Power in the world and politically, America
has gained leading position within the circle
Of the Allies which will make it indisputably
primus inter pares
The Poitiken is al pains TO explain our
sudden and successful appearance in the ime-lighi
OF the world stage and il finds the secret of our
material and political success lies in the melting
pot
''If one asks what has been the reason for
this almost explosive development OF strength,
the answer must be that the American nation Is
an extract OF European youth, which, melted
together fer some generations, has produced n
race of Incompatible health This young ma
ton has the finest natural setting to develop IFS
abilities and has, BY acquiring what il found
most useful Of European technique and culture
IN addition 10 it's own improvements, given a
new impetus which will he decisive for the M
ture direction Of It's development
The British world outlook, the German
power of organization, the Gallo logic, the
slavic imagination, Scandinavian broad mind
eduess-- all this has been transpanted in the
American fertile SOIL where it blossomed into
growth OF exotic abundance
Problems which IN Europe in a tarry-
ing way try to conjure away, the destruction
threatening the war-deyastated countries,
America seems to solve with playful ease The
community is organized Tor war according to
one Will capital is ratoned factories placed un-
der state control, prices regulated and TAX

To the public of Barre: Mr.. Z. ID

berg Co., seems to think that / have been
misinform4d about conditions existing
in the local shirt factory. What | pre-
viously stated il the plain, funyarnished
truth and nothing but the truth and the
information stated came directly from
the operatives themselves in mass meet
ing assembled. Ii the girls misinformed
me land | do not believe they did the
fault lies with them and not any out
side informant.
Mr. Luckenblll says Immediately he
came to Barre and found prices were
low he advanced wages all round, this
when the girls had declared strike and
told him they were not going back till
prices were altered. The increase over
all work amounted to an all-round in
crease of one-haf cent, whether il was
by the dozen, the two dozen or the hun
bred different parts that go to compose
a government army shirt or the pres
ent work they are now doing, which is
known in the trade as "fannels."

and little pay looks like quote some

As to the managers since the firm
started in Barre, the following persons
have held Office in one way or another:
Mr.. Bernard, Mr. Beerhohm and Mr.
Luckenbill. Mr. Beerbohm was here for
five or six weeks, probably temporarily,
but here nevertheless.
Mr.. Luckenbill says the operatives
were inexperienced. and no one doubts
that statement. We must all learn, but
his firm must also learn that if they are
to do business they must not expect
women wage earners TO live on fresh
air until such time a. they are taught
to learn the trade, especially when the

bill says the operatives are turning out |

The Daylight Store


in the previous five months, let me make
this clear to everybody. The first five
months the work was wholly govern
ment work; it had to be frst~class, all
thoroughly inspected before ii would get
by; and in that lies a great difference
between working for Uncle Sam and
what is known as the '.jobber." When
/ went through this factory in the early
spring the manager told me there were
no books to show, in fact, said they did
not have them, which seemed queer to
me. / am pleased to hear that Manager
Luekenbill now has books for the in
spection of those who have been misin-
formed, whoever they may be.
Finally, why did Mr.. LuckenbiH stop
the power in the factory one day lately
and tell the operatives that the first
one to his knowledge who told another
operator her wages would be instantly
And this in a factory where
there is supposed to be an iron-clad scale
for every grade of work performed This
firm may be good to their managers but
that does not help the poor working girls
toiling in this factory and believe the
girls and will do all ! can to help them
get better conditions.
