ENGLAND WELCOMES
Representatives of American Fedora
ton of Labor.

The declaration of the American
Federation of Labor that it will not
meet enemy representatives during
the war, which James Wilson, chair
man of the visiting American labor
delegation expressed at luncheon in
London, is welcomed by the press.
The London Daily Chronicle says:
"The visit of the important labor
delegation which has reached this
country from the United States brings
into direct contact with US one of the
principal forces upon which the ALI
ance depends to win the war. America
very rapidly is becoming a great mill
tary power, but it was a great in
dustrial power long before and the
contribution made by it's wOrkmen is
no less essential than that of our
own. This has been fully realized
alike by the leaders of American
trades unionism and by its rank and
file.
"The heads of the American labor
world see plainly the outstanding
truth that the liberties of labor stand
or fall with the general liberties of
mankind. In world dominated by
Prussian forces there would be no
room for free human development
either in the industrial or any other
field"

Born November %, 1881
New Bethlehem, Pa.

This is not an obituary, despite its
misleading caption, bat a few re-
marks concerning a very live mar
whose cOuntenance smiles above.
Every empIoye in the great B. &
O. shops and nearly everyone in New
ark knows, likes and respects John
Bush, the associate editor of the
Newark Leader, and a true and
ardent believer in and advocate Of the
principles of true unionism, and one
Of the hardest workers in the city in
the cause of the union label Of all
trades.
Mr.. Bush served his apprenticeship
with the E. H. Everett Co. (now the
American Bottle Co.. and as soon as
eligible became a member of the
union. After several years he severed
his connections with the Everett Co.
and secured employment at the B. &
o. shops, transferring his member
ship to Licking Lodge No. 80, l. A.
of NJ, and at the present time is one
of its most active and enthusiastic
members.
When the Newark Leader was
established in response to the oft re-
peated demands of the many trades
unions in Newark for an official organ
of their own that would honestly and
truthfully represent them at all times
and fearlessly defend their cause
when necessary, and whose policy
would not be controlled by a few
would-be aristocrats and capitalists,
Mr.. Bush was appointed by the Trades
and Labor Assembly as it's Associate
Editor. This arduous position he has
since filled with capabiity and faith
fulness, being ever ready to devote
time and labor to advance the inter
est of the paper he so ably represents.
In recognition Of his ability and
energy Mr.. Bush has been recently

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY?

Editor Harlan, of the United Mine
Workers Journal, takes this pot shot
at an element that all trade unionists
are we'll acquainted with:
"When we hear some of the big
employers of labor and captains of
industry with whom we have had
dealings in the past speak so feel
ingly of their love for democracy, we
are prompted to consult the diction-
ary to make sure the darned word
means just what we think it means" D"

BULLET-PROOF JOBS AGAIN.
(Grand Rapids Press)

The other day the Press called at
tention to the loading Of the War De
partment with able-bodied young
men Of draft age who have secured
bullet-proof jobs that exempt them
from service at the front. Most Of
these young men have adopted the
protective coloring Of the United
States uniform. In other words, COM
missions have been issued, it is
charged, to no less than $4,000 non
combatant officers. This is not a
pretty showing, and the Senate now
has before it a resolution calling upon
the War Department to explain. An
informal investigation Of the inactive
list" already under way makes most
interesting reading.
The son of Secretary Of Commerce
Redfeld is an assistant pay clerk in
the navy supply bureau with the
rank of ensign. The only one Of
Secretary Josephus Daniels four
sons in service is a second lieutenant
in the naval quartermaster's depart
ment The nephew of Secretary Lam
sing is a captain in the army war
college. The son-in-laW of Col. E. NJ.
House is in an office in the State De-
partment. The son of Senator Reed
Smoot is a first lieutenant in the non
flying branch of the aviation service
in Washington duty. Other senatorial
sons are numerous in the war build
ings.
Anthony Drexel, Jr., of the multi
millionaire DreXel family of Phila-
delphia, is a second lieutenant in the
ordnance department. Robert Goelet,
of the rich New York family, is a
captain in the postal censorship serv-
ice. The son of Murray Crane, Of
Boston, multi-millionaire and former
Senator, is a major in the ordnance
department. Two sons of Charles r.
Crane, rich Chicagoan, are in non
combatant service. The son of VIM.
Chalmers, of the Allis-Chalmers COM
pany, is in the ordnance bureau. The
brother of Mrs. Marshall Field III is
one of the non-fyers in the aviation
service.
These are sample cases, but the
prize commission of all seems to have
been secured by L. Ames Brown, the
chum of Private Secretary Joseph
Tumulty. Brown was assigned to
class one by the draft board, but he
has been made a second lieutenant in
the intelligence bureau at Washing
ton, with the express provision that
che shall not be assigned to any other
duty or the command of troops"
AS against these "safety first"
patriots may be set down the fact
that thousands and thousands of
wealthy or prominent young fellows
have volunteered for service in the
ranks or have fitted themselves at
the training schools to be fighting
officers. But the move in Congress
for a show down in the wholesale
commissioning of non-combatants Of
robust health is cOmmendable and
timely. This war is not to be won in
swivel chairs. If it is to continue
another year or longer every able
bodied young man in Washington
should be given a chance to show his
commission is deserved or turned over
to the draft boards for duty in the
ranks.

The horrors Of war are not con-
fined to the area known as "over
there" as the state department of
labor reports that Lip workers in
the Pennsylvania mining industry
were killed last year.
Fatalities and serious accidents in
which compensation agreements have
not been filed or where the cases are
not compensate under the law, are
not included in this list.

Contracts for Government
Structures to Be Let
In Few Days. t

Contracts will be let within a few
to bs constructed on Union station
plaza and at 18th and 3 streets to
house government war workers.
At the outset twelve units to furn ish
houses for 1000 persons will be built
on the plaza. On the square bounded
by Delaware avenue. North Capitol
street. ID and E streets six units. to
accommodate 1000 persons. will be
built. The project at 18th and b
streets is not expected to start i'm
mediately.
That the government will have lit
tie trouble in getting its war work
ers to live in the dormitories to be
erected on Union station plaza and
at 18th and B streets is indicated by
the fact that the room registration
fense already Is receiving letters
from clerks asking for reservations
in the big Temporary structures.
Edwin S. Hege. manager of the
room registration Office. said today
that neither clerks already in the city
nor these who expect to come to
Washington to work for the govern
ment should write to his office for
reservations. The United States
Housing Corporation has not desig-
mated the registration office of the
District to run the dormitories.
Furthermore. it was pointed out that
the dormitories are being built to
house the overflow of clerks who can
not be accommodated in the homes of
the city.
1t was a source of qualification to
the housing officials. however, to see
reservations for the dormitories COM
ing in. because of fear which had been
| expressed by some that the young
women who have left their homes to
come to Washington would not live on
the dormitory plan.
The buildings to be erected are not
dormitories in the sense in which the
| word is generally used for the build
ings will be laid off into private
rooms. some for one person. others for

The Symbol of Democracy.

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Sunday Star on page there is
a design for a monument to be erected
in Washington at the close Of the war"
This design represents an old man on
"a bridleless horse with another man
with flowing cape (as drapery) walk
ing beside this vicious charger
Just why two men and q horse should
represent Victorious Democracy" is
beyond my war worked brain to COM
prehend, and will be very much pleased
to have it explained.
Democracy has always been repre-
sented as woman and addressed as
Miss Democracy.
Democracy is She and not He: De-
mocracy is the Motherland. not the
Fatheriand: Democracy Is the Mother of
Men. not Monarchs; Democracy is a
glorious word: it means Government by
the People; and as women are part of
the people there can be no true Democ-
racy until women have all the rights of
political equality.
Women have fully demonstrated their
part in this war: they have done this in
all countries. Last week 200. 900 men
went on strike in Birmingham. England,
while 10000 women working for their
government in Manchester pledged their
loyalty to their government and their
work until the war ended and victory
won. 49,.
Beyond a doubt the loyalty and cour-
age of these women did much to send
many men back to their work in Bir-
mingham.
We learn our faith. loyalty and de-
mocracy from our mothers; later we
may get 1t strengthened from the pater-
nal side of the. house. but it Is the
mother that fashions the foundation Of
humanity.
There is mother in little town in
the west that has given all she has to
this war: they are her seven sons; she
does not complain: she is glad she has
this many to give (she is alone, her
i husband died when the baby was six
months old): she does her work for the
Red Cross and prays for all our soldiers
while she prays for her own sons.
When the monument Of Victorious
Democracy is unveiled. let it be that OF
woman, a mother with outstretched
hands to receive her soldier son on his
return with victory and peace as a re-
ward for what she has given, what she
has suffered.
The above will represent Victorious
Democracy, for 1t will represent man
and woman. not two men and horse

The Belt Line.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The belt line railroad proposed by Mr..
Beeler, il established, will undoubtedly
he an Improvement in the existing street
railroad conditions in this city. l think
that 1 can suggest change which will.
II adopted, give all the benefits obtained
under the original plan and at the same
time give a much greater degree of con-
venience to the travelling pubic. ..o
line should be continued up Columbia
road to 18th street, or to the terminus OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company in Mount Pleasant, then build
q line thence through the best adapted
streets to connect with the same COM
rany's line on Georgia avenue. This
would enable residents of that section
north of u street between Georgia ave-
nue. and 18th street to reach any OF the
points mentioned in Mr.. Beeler's plan
without having to make any transfer
whatever. This, it can readily be seen.
would very materially reduce the con-
gestion on the 18th street line and on
the badly congested 14th street line, as
under the Beeler plan the tramc north
of U street would be absolutely con-
fined to the 11th and 18th street lines
until it reached u street. I can see r o
greater benefit from transferring at this
Doint than from transferring at l5tn
street and Pennsylvania avenue or at
18th and F streets to passengers going
either east or, west
I also think 1t would be oenent 70
the nmblic If the Capital Traction Com
pany were permitted or required to ex-
tend its line on Florida avenue north
east to 18th street northeast. thence
south on 18th street to connect with Its
line on Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
wish Mr. Beeler might find time to
study out a plan to make 1t safer for
pedestrians to get. across the streets at
circles, some Of which from my ex-
perience are the most dangerous points
in the city. I could give some sugges-
ttons along this line which, If adopted,
would lessen the danger to pedestrians.
The indifference and carelessness Of mo-
torists at these points are amazing.

Lord Curzon Says Seven Million
Have Been Contributed.

Lord Curzon, member of the British

have been received here by wireless.
which show the extent of the British
war effort in man power.
Lord Curzon said that Great Britain
had given no fewer than seven million
men and that five million Britons were
today fighting in foreign theaters of
war. Allowing for casualties and pre-
suming these figures to include the
navy, they are taken as demonstrating
the fact that the only troops in Eng

in depots. either of the supply service
