MUNITIONS PLANTS
LABOR SHORTAGE SITUATION
REPORTED TO BE ACUTE.
Government Urges Combing Nones-
sential Occupations for Men to
Handle This Important Work.

New light on the labor situation in
the work of constructing and operat-
ing ammunition plants comes from a
telegram sent this week by the direc-
tor general of the United States en-
ployment service to Roady Kenehan,
state director for Colorado. 1t en-
phasizes the loss sustained in the de-
struction of the big New Jersey plant
and the urgent necessity for rushing
work on the others. The telegram
reads:
Americas biggest shell loading
plant is gone. There are other plants
struction. Work at all is seriously re-
tarded by lack of labor. The ordnance
department states that the immediate
labor shortage in existing munition
plants is 139, 900 unskilled laborers.
Even greater numbers are needed for
army construction projects. The only
way to make good the loss in shells
and to absorb the shock so that it
shall not injure Pershing's men is to
fill this labor shortage at once. In
view of these facts, reallocation of
total labor demands among the states
will be made at once. The require
ments in your state will tax your ut
most efforts. They can be filled only
DN getting men from nOntsstTlldls-
Community labor boards must expe-
dite combing nonessentials and repiac-
ing men by women. Make clear TO the
people of your state their duty in the
emergency. The element of isk in
shell loading plants will deter no real
man or woman. Americans are not
afraid either in the trenches or at
posts of danger at home"
To this telegram Mr.. Kenehan sent
the following reply:
Denver, Colo, Oct. 7, 1918.
-Director General U. S. Employment
Service. Washington, d. c.
Wire where men are needed most.
VIII use every possible endeavor to
forward them. Instruct me 10 fur

and night TO recruit men for any
where you mention that they are
needed. Allow me TO advertise in the
papers the great necessity for men
TO make up the losses.

FURIOUS AT AUSTRIA
Special Despatch to THs suS. a


WASHINGTON. July 2e.--Czecho- Slovak
representatives here are indignant at re-
ports that Miss Milada Jamschek, or.
Jaruskova, n young Czech girl Of New
York. has been sentenced to death by
Austrian court-martial on the charge
OF having taken passage on the same
steamship as Count Won Bernstorff to
obtain information for her countrymen.
The Austrian Government in this case
appears to have marked this girl as
fitting example to intimidate further ef-
forts of Czecho- Slovaks to work for their
own welfare.
Miss Jaruskova Is we'll known to some
members of the Czecho-Slovak COM
munity here. She has long distinguished
herself for her self -sac rificing patriotic
devotion to the national cause of the
Czecho-Slovaks. She returned in 1917
to Bohemia to aid relatives whom she
knew to be In great distress.
The fact that she left on the same
ship as Count Won Bernstorff was known
to only few of her intimate friends.
1t Is assumed that II was by coincidence
that her humanitarian visit to her rela-
tives took her abroad on the vessel
which carried the former Ambassador.
1t Is assumed here that she may have
told her friends before she left that
Count Won Bernstorff would be a pas.
senger on the ship and that they sug-
gested that efforts be made by her to
learn from him anything that might be
of value to her country's cause.
Apparently Austrian or German
agents in the United States have re-
ported to Vienna the substance of gossip
concerning her conversations with
friends.

theless intensely interested at the mere
possibility, of the situation. Nothing
has come officially on the subject, but
attention was attracted here by THE
SUNS special cable this morning con-
corning political unrest in Turkey.
At first flush the report does not
seem logical, because II Is pointed out
that II Turkey intended to break with
Germany the Turkish Government would
probably first approach the Entente and
the United States. This, 1t is explained,
would be the expected course because
otherwise Turkey would find herself
between the devil and the deep blue
sea- so far as her international position
was concerned.
But on the other hand there have been
reports Of Cabinet crisis in Turkey,
and in matters OF this kind events often
move with incredible rapidity. tits not
regarded rs impossible that some wing
of party in Constantinople may have
gained control of the reins Of Govern
mcnt and made severance of relations
with Germany its first official act with
out waiting to hear from Germanys
enemies
The latest reports OF serious tension
in the Turkish Cabinet came from
Athens. 1t was said that a Ministerial
crisis had arisen as a result of the
growing tension between Turkey and
Bulgaria over the territorial adjust
ments' made at Bucharest. Two hostile
camps have been formed In Constantine
pie. according to these reports, one led
by Talaat Pasha and the other by Enver
Pasha. the latter supported by Ger
| many.
French reports received here from

ably on account OF i'll health
The chief interest in official circles
here Is centred on the fact that II any
faction gaining control in Turkey has
selected this time to break with Germany
II could not have chosen a more oppor-
tune moment. There are practically no
German forces capable OF bringing pres
| sure TO bear on the Turks and latest
reports show no Germans fighting with
the Bulgar!ans. There are a number of
German officers in Turkey, but Ger

pressure as means Of holding Turkey

sible German aggressions.

LONDON, July 29.-Lord Robert Cecil
remarked some time ago that Germany
probably meant by the term freedom
Of the seas the freedom to import
raw materials, but II appears the idea
in the back OF the German mind Is more
far reaching than this. F. A. Macken-
zie. formerly the correspondent OF the
Times In Berlin. quotes an article by
DR.. Victor Fuchs In the De,Ltsche
Poltfk to show that Germany aims TO
absolutely dominate the world market.
DR.. Fuchs writes:
THE ultimate strategic aim Of our
economic policy is not, as people too
often narrowly suppose, to merely pro-
vide for our home markets. Our ulti-
matte aim Is the greatest possible domi-
nation OF the great materials In world
trading, whether we ourselves require
them or not.
general power to permanently secure our
requirements in materials from abroad"
In another passage he says:
1T must be our aim to establish our
power over at least a large part of the
world materials In order, at any rate
indirectly, to secure the supply OF those
materials We need. but do not ourselves
control. As Germany produces only an
Uncomfortable quantity Of these ma
terials our aim must be to obtain terri
tories which will promise US. for ex-
ample, fax. copper. rubber, phosphates,
oil. tobacco and metals In such quanti-
ties that they will compel everybody to
give us the decisive voice In the world
market"

COMPROMISE IN EFFECT

ployees They Are Helping to

LONDON, July 2e.-The situation in
the munitions areas is distinctly i'm
proved to-day. As a result Of the meet
ings yesterday the majority OF the
strikers in the Birmingham and Cow
entry districts returned to work this
morning. or agreed to return soon. The
decision of the Coventry workers, where
the strike originated. to accept the Gov
eminent proposal is likely to be de-
termining factor in the ballots now be-
ing taken on the question Of striking in
other districts.
In Woolwich, where the Government
arsenal is situated, the skilled workmen
had decided to strike tomorrow unless
the embargo we're removed. but the feel
ing Is freely expressed now that IL some
means Is offered for a retreat without
loss Of prestige the workers will take
advantage of It. A meeting was called
for tonight by the shop stewards with
a view to finding some way out Of the
difficulty.

The Coventry strikers resumed work
on the understanding that the Govern
ment committee sit Immediately, and
that It include representatives OF their
societies. 1t was also understood that
the Government would call Off the threat
to call up the strikers for army service.
The men say this will safeguard them.
The Leeds munitioneers who decided
yesterday to fight the embargo will hold
another meeting this evening to recon-
slider the question.
The Erenirg Star says: ut will be
well II the workers are enabled to real
lie that It Is British labor that is bring
ing Americans across the Atlantic and
supplying them with munitions and
equipment. The American armies'would
not be in France II our navy and our

not provided them with military mate

A leading member OF one of the big
firms in Lancashire said the incompe-
tence, stupidity and multiplicity of Gov

The view held by those in closest
touch with the situation Is that the
human question has not been taken suf-
ficiently into account In summer. they
say. the men get restless and irritable.
and the suggestion has been made that
1t perhaps would be a good thing to
give the men a week or two holiday.
