DEPT. MOVING
! MEN WITHIN j. S.
AT RECORD SPEED
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

I
reEistrants in Porto Rico and prob
ably could get 20. 900 men out OF that
number who would be suited to eli
matte conditions on the boundary.
These men have been available for
the last seven months and are eager
Tor service. This isa mother thing
mat the War Department is just be-
ginning to take up. Army officers
oeleye the Porto Ricans will make
excellent troops and are anxious that
tonnage be provided to bring them to
camps in the Southern States.
Hurry Cry Answered.
The last month has seen, indeed, a
complete change in the handling of
troops, and it is gratifying to report
that all along the line. the cry OF
hurry up has had its effect. The ma
ehinery is not yet what it can be or
ehould be. but the German offensive
on the western front opened the eyes
OF slow-moving officials to the poss-
bliity that American help was de-
manded not for netX year alone, but
Tor this year.
More than 100000 men are now in
Europe and before the end OF the
summer there should be a milliCn.
Lord Reading aud French officials
privately, as well as publicly, express
uneir satisfaction with the way
troops are being rushed abroad. and
while there is a warning against
3alse optimism, nevertheless il is true
mat official Washington feels very
much more confident and secure about
the whole situation than 1t did fort
night ago.

LABORERS, RIGGERS AND FAST.
ENERS.

Twenty shipyard men cast in their
lot with the Shipyard Laborers. Rig
gers and Fasteners union, at the
regular meeting last Monday night.
This approximates the usual grist of
limitations, and represents the shift
ing of workers in the shipyards.
The question of the first aid con-
The committee has assembled many
and divers testimonials to mistreat-
ment, lack of treatment, inefficient
treatment ct cetera, and this testi-
mony was given the once over and
carefully scurtinized and discussed.
Some of it, it was determined, would
not go through the extractor without
crocking; other portions are war
ranted not to fade in any sort of
weather. So the committee will con-
fer with the general committee rep
resenting all shipyard unions. and
again will attempt to pry loose the
grip of the contractor on the pay
will of handful of employees who
agreed to the contract in the early
days of the local shipbuilding indus
try. The men feel that there is
ample justification for annulment of
the contract, but are not quite so
sure that the insurance commission
or the courts would thus analyze the
grievances. The local situation is
not different from many contracts in
other parts of the state, but let us
hope the final result will not be the
of the contracts at
the behest of the employer and the
sawbones.
