URGES sIx-HoUR WoRKDAY
Lord LeverhuIn1e, in Address, Puts
Forward Proposition Which Is In
teresting British Employers.

According to q report received by
the department of commerce, six
hour working day, with increase of out
put and pay and reduction of cost, ad-
vocated by Lord Leverhulme in an ad-
dress to Birmingham business men, is
interesting British employers of labor.
Sufficient thought is not given to
the man behind the machine" said
Lord Leverhulme. "lntelligence and
application count for more than mere
hours and should be the first consider
alton in fixing a wage scale. There is
no reason why capital and labor should
remain in opposed camps and it would
be better for both if they could COM
pose their differences.
Increase your output with shorter
working hours and without decreasing
pay Take the workmen into your
confidence and ask each to solve the
problem in his own department. There
should be no decrease of wages for the
siX-hOur day; if it is feasible they
should be higher. There should be no
decrease of production. On the con-
trary, it should be increased"
When the war is over, he said Eng
land will be four years in arrears in
renewals of plants, machinery and va
riOus other mechanical utilities in fac
tories. Men will be available, return
ed soldiers and those released from
muniti0n factories and other war
works

More Coal Miners Needed.

The labor situation as it pertains
to the coal industry Of the United
States was never better than at present,
according to officials of the United
States fuel administration, and the out
look for a steadily increasing produc-
ton would be indeed excellent were 1t
not for the threatened labor shortage
of the future.
But although labor in the mines is
apparently content for the present and
earnestly striving to do its bit to win
the war, nevertheless officials are dis
appointed because of the labor short
age by reason of the draft and the Sc
rious prospects for a much larger
shortage when the second draft COM
mences to drain the miners from their
employment to the cantOnments.

Labor Leader Has Riuht Idea.

There is one labor leader in the Brit
lsh isles who has stood out above 9TH
,ers since the beginning of the war.
That is Joseph Havelock Wilson, for
merly a member of parliament and now
president of the National Seamen's
union. Mr.. Wilson, like a good Eng
lishman, is keeping his eyes fixed upon
the main issue, the defeat of the Ger
man armies This Is the fundamental
reform. A proper distribution of wealth
may come afterWard.

Hours of Labor to Be Reduced.

Hours OF Labor TO BE Reduced
"Seven hours a day" will be the
slogan of union labor throughout the
country.
This declaration coming from Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, is q Significant
development In the labor problem OF
the United States.
The statement was made at Typo
graphical temple at Washington before
approximately 1900 federal clerks at
mass meeting to protest against the
passage of the Borland amendment
which would establish an eight-hour
work day for government employees.
In the absence Of Samuel GOmpers,
head of the American Federation or
Labor, Mr.. MOrrison's assertion, the
trade union believes that the time Will
come when it will find way to make
seven hours a days work, had added
significance.

ASK for $500 More shipbuiIders.

The United States Public Service
Reserve of the department Of labor
for the District Of New York and West
chester county, sent out a call for s.
500 more volunteers for the shipbuild-
ing army. The quota for the district
Is $4,000, and to date 16,500 men have
been enrolled, the volunteers includ-
ing carpenters, iron workers, riveters,
riggers, skilled and unskilled laborers
and men Of other trades, all Of whom
are waiting the call to help man the
shipyards.

Does Business in Open.

The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand. does busi-
ness in the open. i4a cannot hide be-
hind q corporate name or talk to dis
pleased customer from behind the
locked doors OF a private office. he
knows that he must face the music in
case he is party To any transaction
that won't stand the light of day. He
knows that he must satisfy every Gus
toner with whom he may be dealing
or he will lose not only that customer
but probably others WHO viii soon
know all the facts If he does rot do the
square thing by any one OF his
patrons.
There is no reason in the world for
any person to send his money to a
mail order house because he cannot
find the article he wants In his local
store. The local merchant is IN busi-
ness for the very purpose Of getting
you what you want. He has the infor-
nation that will enable him to get
what you want and to get 1t as quick
ly as you could get IL from mail or
der house. 1t is only fair to him to
give him the chance to mako such
profit as any dealer would make off the
transaction and it is only fair to your
self to keep that profit at home rather
than to send it away to some far dis
tant city from which it will never re-
turn.

Mlddle.Aoed Men Not Wanted.

Men who have reached the age of
forty-fve are discounted on the labor
market, according to John II. Walker,
president Of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor who declared that in a
recent canvass there were 1000 men
in Chicago forty-fve years of age or
over, who could not be placed by State
or Federal employment bureaus be-
cause of their years.
This condition, he said, Is present
despite the reported shortage of labor
ers In many industries due to the war.

GEN. NAFARRATE SHOT
DEAD AT TAMP|C0, MEX.

General Emiiano T. Nafarrate. acting
governor of the state of Tamauipas, was
shot and killed Thursday night at Tampi-
co, Mexico, according To Americans who
reached the border last night from Mon
terrey. The first report Of the death OF
General Nafarrate wa, heard at Reynosa
where a message was received by the
station agent yesterday afternoon an
nouncing the death of the officer
Information reaching Matamoros today
said taht Nafarrate became involved III Il
difficulty with Jose Danache, chief of po-
lice in Tampico, which resulted IN the
shooting. Death was almost instantane-
Gus.
General Nafarratc has been making hi
headquarters AT Victoria, the capital of
the state, and j. supposed To have been in
Tampco on his way to Mexico City on
business. He was formerly in command
at the Mexican gulf port. being relieved
there some weeks ago by General Alfredo
Ricaut. former acting governor OF the
state. The exchange of places by the two
commanders i said to have followed the
recent trouble at Mexico City Between
General Cesar Lopez de Lara and Gener-
al Luis Caballero, rival candidates Tor
governor of the state. Because OF con
F, tentions the election in which the two
candidates participated was declared
void bv President Carranza. 1t has been
understood on the border that Nafarate
supported Cabalero, the two having
fought together during the early days Of
the Carranza revolution.
! Because Nafarrate was in command IN
Matamoros. opposite Brownsville during
the bandit troubles of 1918. and because
| he was widely charged with having been
at least partly responsible in taking no
steps to prevent the raiders depredations
and their freedom on Mexican soil. the
demise of the Mexican leader will be
heard with unusual Interest on the Amer
Iican side of the border. 1t was reproted
that Nafarrate'S territory offered haven
