youths from the city who know
little or nothing about farm work
Another class could be added
to these two by the forced employ
mcnt OF oilers. While it is true
that the confirmed idler is likely
to be more trouble than help on
a farm, there are large numbers
who are in the habit OF working
only a few weeks each year or
living off the earnings OF others,
but who could be induced to rend-
err useful service on the farm if a
pronounced public opinion and
perhaps some local legislation
could be made to act as a spur or
inspiration.
Next spring or summer will
not be the time to take up the
farm labor problem. We have
had enough delay in prepared
ness. BY legislation, education
and organization we should, at
this opportune time, take every
possible action that will insure
the farmer all the help available
for the planting, care and harvest
ing of hs crops. There should
be not merely a probability but
certainty that no idler will be
Sinking in the loafing places OF
cities and villages as long as there
is a farmer needing help to kill
weeds in his garden or put crops
in the bin.

BHiDoEPoRT, Conn. Sept 1s.-The
5000 striking machinists OF Bridgeport
will not be back at work Saturday or
even Monday. In spite Of the fact that
the Presidents letter urging them to
return to the munitions plants upon
penalty Of being blackiis,ed for one
year by all Government plants was
published to-day in all local papers.
The trouble. II seems. In that the
Presidents message did not reach the
machinists in any formal manner. They
met at 2 o'clock in the Casino The
atre after several Of their leaders had
card the message read 70 them from
newspaper offices. The strikers voted
hey would not take the word Of the
newspspers but wanted the Presidents
official communication.
Business Agent Samuel Iavit an
nounced he had heard nothing from
the President direct and thought d com.
munication ought TO come direct. since
the strikers had appealed direct to
the President TO take over the plants
and were still awaiting their answer
When Lavit could not produce a copy
OF the communication an appeal was
made TO Alpheus Winter. examiner of
the National War Labor Board in
Bridgeport. for a copy He replied
that he had none and had not heard
OF the communication officially. Ord
nance department officials reported
that they had a copy but thought the
machinists could read the letter in the
afternoon paper.
The machinists then voted TO adjourn
the strike meeting until Monday at 2
o'clock when they hoped there would
be formal communication TO act on
While there were no public statements
that the strikers would openly defy the
President there were many covert sug-
gestions that they would merely take
their night with the manufacturers un-
der cover and keep II up indirectly to
the best OF their ability. Quietly the
machinists were advised to beat IL"
out Of Bridgeport before II became
necessary to formally accept the Pres
ident's demands

resigned as business agent with a view
to appealing to all machinists in the
country against the Eidlitx award OF

cision OF President Wilson as forecast

strikers
The President notified the men that
they must return TO work and abide by

ment over which the Government exer-
cises control and lose all claims for
draft exemption on occvpauonal
grounds.
II 10 a new application OF the work
or fight principle, and IL calculated TO
give new vigor TO the decisions Of the
War Labor Board, against which signs
Of rebellion were beginning TO show In
some quartera
The view taken here Is that the Presi-
dent has defined new policy OF force
with organized labor and made It plain
that the common welfare must be put
above individual beneft and desires.
New Policy Far Reachins.
Al the same time, as IL to show that
capital and labor must bow to the same
principle, Official announcement was
made that the War Department had
taken over the plant OF the Smith 4
Wesson Company Of Springfield. Mass.
which had also refused to abide by a
decision Of the National War Labor
Board.
This new policy respecting labor. de-
cisive and unmistakable, may have q
far reaching effect upon the political
and economic structure OF the nation.

workmen who refuse to abide by their
agreement. making IL a scrap OF paper.

course Is possible.
