Labor Leader Writes to Sen
ators Protesting Against
8-Hour Amendment.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. has
written to each member OF the Senate
letter protesting against the Borland
amendment. The letter. made public
yesterday, follows in part:
"At a time when the vital interests
Of our country are at stake 1t seems
not only unwise but prejudicial to the
cause for which we are making great
sacrifices to impose greater and un-
necess lry burdens upon the employees
Of part OF our government. If IT is
deemed essential as q war emergency
that there be a statutory lengthening
Of hours OF the employees in the va
rious departments. then the same rec
ognition should be accorded to these
working people as has been accorded
to those employees engaged in the ex-
ecution Of contracts which come under
the law Of March 4. 1917. by which 1t Is
provided that eight hours shall be the
basic days work, and that all hours
worked In excess shall be paid for at
not less than time and one-half.
The executive council of the Ameri
can Federation OF Labor, now in ses-
oACAA Al TINS Cllys having TINS DldIleT
under consideration, respectfully. yet
emphatically. enters its protest against
the enactment OF the Borland amend
ment. We urge that you give this
matter serious consideration to the end
that the employees of the government.
which this amendment seriously af-
fects. shall be safeguarded against in
justice.
1t Is hardly necessary to state that
much overtime has been and is being
worked by employees in the various de-
partments- The executive officials OF
those departments now have power to
require overtime work In any amount
as 1t becomes necessary, and they are
now exercising that power With the
single exception OF navy yard clerical
employees, no provision has been made
for the payment OF overtime, and no
complaint thus far has been lodged by
any employees against overtime"
A mass meeting OF protest against
the passage Of the Borland amend
ment will be held by the Washington
Federal Employees Union on February
p, at O'Clock. In the absence of Mr.,
Gompers from the city. Frank Morri-
son, secretary of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. will address the
meeting and is expected to reply at
length to the speech made by Mr..
Borland last Friday night in defense
of his amendment

mites the fuse. which burns down
and sets off the detonator, charged
with illuminate of mercury, which ex-
plodes the main charge of ammonal.
The average British soldier is not
an expert at throwing: 1t is a new
game to him, therefore the Canadians
and Americans, who have played
baseball from the kindergarten up,
take naturally to bomb throwing and
excel in this act. A six-foot English
bomber will stand awed in silence
when he sees a little five-foot-nothing
Canadian outdistance his throw by
several yards. / have read a few war
stories of bombing, where baseball
pitchers curved their bombs when
throwing them, a pitcher who
can do this would make "Christy"
Mathewson look like a piker, and is
losing valuable time playing in the
European War Bush League, when
he would be able to set the big
League" on fire.
We had a cushy time while at this
school. In fact, to us it was a regular
vacation, and We were very sorry
when one morning the adjutant or
dered us to report at headquarters
for transportation and rations to re-
turn to our units up the line.
Arriving at our section, the boys
once again rendered US the glad mitt.
but looked askance at us out of the
corners of their eyes. They could
not conceive, as they expressed it,
how man could be such blinking
idiot to join the Suicide Club. l was
beginning to feel sorry that ! had
become a member of said club, and
my life to me appeared doubly pre-
ciOus.
Now that I was a sure enough
bomber, l was praying for peace and
hoping that my services as such would
not be required.

Canada, India, Australia, Egypt, and
all the other colonial possessions of
Great Britain, would naturally desert
the mother country, and so, being
alone and friendless, these would fall
easy prey, also, until the German en-

Viola! Just like that!
Papa Guillemont laughs over that
piece Of colossal insanity until the
tears run down his purple cheeks.

century in acquiring the feeling that

gladly chosen death before oppression.
france rose as one man to prevent
the first stop-over on the Hohenzol-

True, the first train which was sent
out to meet the invaders, and in
which Papa Guillemont rode, found
the station of its destination in pos
session of the Germans, and, before
the wheels of the engine had stopped
revolving, hail OF lead was pouring
in at the windows of all the coaches,
and practically every one OF that first
little army was slaughtered before he
had a chance to get into the fight.
Papa Guillemonts eyes twinkle
again. He had played 'possum!
wounded in the shoulder and and
spattered with blood, he was piled in
a heap for dead, and, crawling out
from amid his lifeless companions he
slipped away in the darkness through
the loosely guarded lines and limped
his way toward Paris.
