months has come strike of the Lon
don police.
The strike fever has spread to Dub
lin. where the employees Of the building
trades, printers and hotel and restau-
rant workers have quit. Much more
serious is the threatened strike of the
Lancashire operative cotton spInners,
which is scheduled to begin again Sep
tember unless there is some rear
fanxement OF the regulations governing
mployment in the mills Eighty per
cent of the workers have decided to
strike against the advice Of their lead
ers.
Leaders Oppose Walk-Outs
1t is a feature of all these labor trou
bes that the leaders are more cautious
and moderate than the workers. In
nearly every case high wages are the
chief demand. Not only have the
women traffic workers won their fight
for equal pay, but the government has
appointed committee to consider the
application of this principle to all in
dustries. AS it would be impossible to
bring the mems wages down to the
level of the women's. tremendous in
crease in the country's payroll Will
have to be made.
1t was expected that this movement
could be checked until after the war,
but the workers nave forced an early
decision. The state controls practically
every industry. and thus the fight be-
comes a struggle between the workers
and the control board rather than with
their employers. who are now hardly
more than directors or state agents.
Behind all of the unrest in the coun-
try is the increased cost of living.
which amounts to nearly 200 per cent
ever pre-war prices. Rents, clothes,
food, transportation. lighting and fuel
have jumped faster than wages, and
the workers declare that they cannot
live as comfortably as thew could be-
fore the war, although they are work
ing longer hours and for higher wages.
Miners Want to Join
The food controller is hearing the
complaints of the Welsh coal miners,
who say that they have been unable 20
obtain jam, butter. tea and meat The
problem is an exceedingly difficult one
unless the government controls the
price Of everything and is able to meet
the demand. Otherwise an increase In
wages followed by a corresponding or
greater increase in the cost Of living is
unavoidable.
Recent military successes have en-
couraged the belief among the masses
that the Allies are certain of victory
and that they can afford to advance
their demands without detrimcnt to the
national cause.

LIGHT flaming CURES
ShLLL SnUCA VICTIMS

The Base Hospitals of Europe,
where American boys as well as the
boys of cur allies are recuperating,
nave decided that the men who are
yet unable to fight, or to go back to
their places in the ranks. may gain
health and strength while filling the
soil, and incidentally may add many
tons OF vegetables to the necessary
food supplies.
Zen expert market gardeners from
this country have been sent to France
to direct the work, as it has been
found that this farm labor is one of
the best restoratives of health, and
also that there is no better work for
those suffering from shell shock thar
this out-of-doors activity. Many sol
diers who have worked at the farms
announce that they intend to buy
farms and continue on their return
from France.
In addition to the helpful exercises
the tables are helped. and in one hos
pitai there has been green corn on the
cob served as result of the soldier
farming. Green corn is not common
in France, but it certainly pleased the
men who were fortunate enough to
get some of it. And the American
boys-well just imagine an American
seeing green corn on the cob when he
didn't expect there was such a deli
cacy nearer than the old U. S. A!
More than two tons of vegetables
were grown at Base Hospital No. 6 in
less than three months. Peas, po-
tatoes, beans ,radishes, lettuce and
corn, and the soldiers declare that
there is nothing like the taste of these
American vegetables grown in the
gardens OF the hospitals.

TUBERCULOSIS fighters
Join WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred nti-tuberculosis
associations in every state in the
Union have set aside their ordinary
work and are giving their time and
attention during the next month to
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
according to an announcement from
the headquarters of the National Tu-
berculosis Association.
Instead of the usual sale of Red
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years Jointly by the
National tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by direct appropriation
Of s2,500,000 from the Red Cross, and
in turn all of the machinery of the
tuberculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership of
the American Red Cross In an effort
to enroll every man and woman In the
country.
In every state there is a we'll or
ganized state organization and under
It there are strong local branches.
These trained workers will cooperate
with the Red Cross chapters in their
community and win endcavor to or
ganize their districts so that no one
can escape solicitation. Universal
membership in the Red Cross will be
the aim

RED CROSS SUNDAY

The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
week begins with a special Red Cross
Sunday ON December the fifteenth.
From every pulpit throughout the
country viii be told the message of
the American Red Cross. Special pro-
grams should be arranged in the Sun
day schools on this day.
The Sunday school room should
fame with Red Cross posters and en-
blems, and there should be prominent
ly displayed both Red Cross flag
and Red Cross Service flag. Teach
ers and pupils should carry home this
Red Cross message to the members
of their families and see to it that
each one of these Is wearing the Red
Cross membership button before the
week Is over. the Christmas spirit
should express Itself in Red Cross
service and sacrihce.

.aENSE NK
AHEAD FOR WOMB N

Mr.. Henry P Dawson, chairman Of
the War Council of the Red Cross, has
said that if the government should
oEer him a check for s500,000,000O 90
Or check for only 100000, 10000
and the work of the women of the
country, he would not even look at
the larger check! He knew what he
was saying. too, as the magnificent re-
Spouse of the women of America has
shown. Never before did woman
shine as now; never before did she
so show that but for her aid the worst
would have occurred. And the end Is
not yet.
The calls are endless. Refugees
have no underclothes, no stockings,
little to protect themselves against
the coming winter winds. The women
Of America are going to furnish these
clothes. these stockings, are going to
see to it that no French, no Belgian,
no Italian child, or mother, shivers
into bitter grave before next spring.
The Surgeon General of the Unit
ed States is asking for thousands of
sweaters, for hundreds of thousands
Of socks, and for hundreds of thous-
ands of articles of all kinds! Eng
fish calls ring over the water-and the
American women remember what the
English fleet did for us-they do not
forget, French women, whose souls
are bowed with grief, are listening for
those sweetest of all sounds, the click
of needles that mean warmth, and the
shipping of scissors that mean
clothes for the children.
No babies in the history of the
world have been better guarded than
the American. Now all the skill, all
the tenderness, all the love of Amer
lean mothers finds limitless oppor-
tunities to help babies who but for
them would have nothing at all!
New England alone has three mil
lion dollars worth of material wait
ing to be made up and sent! Now is
the time for hearty pull together, to
show the world that we really under
stand!

CARING FOR THOSE WHO
ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she
lived in rather an undesirable neigh
berhood and was on the streets all
day school teacher recently brought
to the attention of the Home Service
department of the Red Cross the story
of a girl of ten years whose mother
was ill and whose only other rela-
tives were two brothers, one in camp
and the other youth of seventeen,
whose earnings seemed to be the
only means of support for the family.
The Home Service worker called,
found the mother very i'll and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care
and also for home for the girl in
the country where she would receive
real home training and love. Tho
mother grew worse and died soon af-
forwards. The seventeen-year- old
boy enlisted. The boy in camp had
not known that his mother needed his
help, but was glad to contribute from
his pay when the true circumstances
were made known. The girl is now
In the country, going to school, and Is
receiving allotments from both of her
brothers and is well cared for. She
is under the watchful care of the
Home Service workers and comes to
them often for counsel

BE SURE TO SHOW YOUR
RED CROSS BUTTON

Who hides his flag on Fourth OF
July? Who fails to rise to The Star
Spangled Banner? Why do we wave
flags, and why do we riser Because
we human beings demand a sign. The
Indians exchanged wampum when
they met and swore friendship. The
Greeks of old sent presents of earth
and water to their correspondents.
When a letter fails to come we all
think that the friend has forgotten us.
Now who wishes his fellows to think
that he has forgotten that this is
world where kindness and love are
welcome?
We may feel well disposed toward
the Red Cross and keep our button
tucked away under a lapel somewhere
where no one can see-and who knows
that we are not traitors to the lads
who have been through hell in Eu-
rope to keep us safe? When a man
has a stolen purse he hides ii in an
inside pocket, and he sneaks down a
back alley when he can But those
of us who belong to the Red Cross-and
who will not belong when Christmas
arrives?-we who belong must show
our colors, must wear the button,
must say to our friends. yes, I'm
with you for world of safety and
peace and kindness and Lowell"
It's the same beloved red of ser
vice, such as hangs before the shrine
the white of purity, and the blue of
constancy. Where is the better
cause? Where the better service?
Where a badge to be prouder of? On
with the button when the campaign
opens, next week. Let the Red Cross
not be denied!
