Few Strikes In Britain.

There are now fewer strikes In
Great Britain than at any period since
the war began, says an official report
to parliament on the labor situation.
The report says in part:
"The soundness Of the labor situa-
ton in this country is really remark
able, considering the large issues In
volved and the millions Of men affect
ed. After three and a half years of
war the great body Of laboring men are
still working with steady devotion
never known before in this country"
Winston Churchill, in a statement
GSupplementing this report, said that
the labor situation was so good that
the secret service department in the
ministry Of munitiOns-had been abol-
ished and the ministry now has no
secret agents of any kind. '"The wide
spread and answering loyalty and
resolution with which the production
Of munitions is being maintained is
shown by the fact that time lost in
all branches Of our work during the
last six months has been less than one
fourth of per cent" he added.

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And / will toast with mine;
For all the land is dry as dust,
And we can't ask for wine.
Don't leave a kiss within the cup
A kiss intoxicates,
Inebriation is a crime
In these United States.
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And don't use THEM too much,
Or you would make me drunk with
bliss,
And | would know the clutch
Of legal hands upon my sleeve
And languish in a cell,
Because | drank your loving glance,
Not wisely but too well.
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And do that on the sly,
Lest those who guard our morals note
You have a liquid eve.
Let not your smile be one to make
My spirit rise at all,
For those who make the laws might
think
That spirit Alcohol!

ENORMOUS INCREAeE

An increase Of 100000 in the
number of women employed
since 1914 is shown in figures
announced by the bureau Of la
Dor statistics.
The greatest increase was in
industries which took in $4,000
more women, but the largest
proportionate Increase was 214,-
600 additional women taken into
government service. Women
have replaced 1,419,00O men
since 1914.
Industrial and government
work have taken 100000 women
formerly employed In domestic
service or In dressmaking.

When a union man buys goods
without the union label he is doing
just what he condemns employers for
doing-employing non-union labor.
When the members of unions fully
appreciate this fact the labor move
ment will advance much more rapid
ly, working conditions will improve
and life be made worth living. These
are worthy objects and easily achiev-
ed. Demand the union label.
