THE STRIKERS AGAIN

TIE HiNGho HOAlN
Somebody has suggested that if the
strikes that are daily occurring in
Americs had occurred in England,
the GerEians would already have won
the waf 1t is now apparent that
twice as much shipping was sunk by
submarines in 1917 as was built
throughput the world. The more Sc
rious the situation becomes, the more
hell bert becomes American shipbuild-

trouble they are giving in these stress

Tuesday. ship workers-six hundred
of Them walked out in Baltimore on
demand for $1056 day for one
class and $24. day for another for
two men and boy. No word of ex-
plantation was given. The work was
stopped-the work which means more
vessels for the government to use in
the prosecution OF the fight against
the suhmarine-laid down stock still
under sNch times as these!
Is there man among those strikers
who would care to know that the
flower sof American manhood is in
: the mid bound trenches of France
working night and day to stop the
German onslaught for a salary Of
thirty dollars month? Does any
striker care to know that the Ameri-
can soldier is there fighting his way
through the deadly gases and the
butchery of foe tina must be stopped
If It takes every red blooded Ameri-
can alive to do it?
Is thge striker who could ever re
alize that unless this foe is put down
his home and little ones are endanger-
ed, that in the very homes of France
and Belgium no fellow laborer has
escaped the rape and murder OF the
Hun and that the highest ambition
of this brute is to conquer the earth?
American soldiers are having to
fight an enemy who deserves no quar-
ter. BECAUSE they give none Ameri-
can arms are in the struggle to save

strikers a free country and the right
