very foundations upon which is buded the tenn
pie of democracy and which for selfish and unhoy
motives would make of no avail the sacrifices the
price in blood and treasure the supreme effort of
America at this time to crush for all times the
spirit of oppression and tyranny
3. We urge attention to the danger from the
profiteers who have placed above patriotism dol
lars and blood-drenched dividends

NO TIME FOR STRIKES.

A MEASURE to prevent the obstruction Of war work
is before congress Il is proposed in amendment
10 exempt from s provisions workmen who strike for
better wage, or improved living conditions Such an
amendment would weaken the law II it did not nuhiy
it, Wages in the industries high although there
may he instances where they should be higher Housing
conditions quite likely to be poor for time new
workers in great numbers come to shipbuding and
manufacturing centers But something Of inconvenience
even hardship should be tolerated for the country
and this is time for strikes No other force has the
power Of obstruction, and where melted by
German agents strikers are fairly give as basis
for their action the need of pay or better living
conditions. Labor should be sufficiently alive to its own
interests forego such controversies but il it will not
voluntarily forbear strikes should he prevented by law
Loyal labor will not object and the other kind needs
discipline
BY submitting all disputes 10 arbitration and con
tnung at work labor will rise highly in public esma
tion and also gain much in substantial reward BY re.
sorting to strikes it will cripple its cause eparaby and
hamper chances for victory. Worknen should know
that they have part to play in this less vital
than that of the soldiers at the front As they fulfill
neglect that part they will be Judged fairly but with
out favor There is work for all to do and all must do
that work turn traitor to nation which treats its
workers better than any other country on the map.

KILLING HUNS.

but in the Picardy battle it is apparent that the
Germans paid dearly for their gains The slaughter
tremendous and that is the cheerful in most Of the
reports from the western battle front this spring The
testimony OF British gunners indicates that the shooting
better. "You could have shot them down with

ABOUT SAVING FOOD.

A AMERICANS have learned much about saving since
this war began and more than they would have learned
in many years Of peace and plenty However they don't
need to think they know it all Most of the saving thus
far accomplished has been by Of substitutes and that
may be the rule until the end Of the war 1t is also cn
couragng to note that the garbage output has decreased
somewhat although that may lead worry over how
we will feed the pigs and chickens But despite all that
has been accomplished too much is wasted STILL and
great deal Of that waste is In other words the old
