1t is not believed that anything will
come of the talk to cOnscript labor for
the farm or the factories in this coun-
try. 1t is almost certain that the adj
ministration would not take the ini-
tlatlve in this matter and ii is not at
all likely that congress would pass a
law to make men work whether they
wanted to or not. In this, as well as
in other countries, we will pass laws
TO conScript men to fight; to put them
in uniforms, to drill, and to work at
anything they are told; to subject
them to long Imprisonment or death
II they fail or lag in their duties. But
it is not likely that congress will ever
attempt to force men to labor in the
factories and on the farms. even with
the good wages that are now being
paid for such services. One reason
for this belief is the fact that every
suggestion for compulsory arbitration
is met with such strong opposition
that no compulsory arbitration law
has ever seen the light of day in con-
gress.
Perhaps there has always been poll
tics mixed up In this matter; in fact,
political influence has heen stronger
in all labor legislation than anything
else. And II is not ut all likely That
congress. with q congressional cleo
ton. In the immediate offing. will at
tempt anything like the CONSUMPTION
of labor. no matter what may be the
necessities of the United States.

Nearly every member of congress
win say if he is asked that he is ire
mendously busy. Well, perhaps he is,
but the men in congress who are real
ly busy are those who may be denomi-
mated the leaders. This term used to
include the committee on rules, or at
least the majority members of 1t, but
with the reorganization of the house
under the Democrats the rules COM
mittee was enlarged to such an extent
that il became less important. The
really busy men on the house side are
Chairman Kitchin of the ways and
means committee and Chairman Sher-
ley of the appropriations committee.
These two men are working all the
time and very rarely get through With
all that is required of them. Minority
Leader Gilleti Is fairly busy man, OF
at Least he feels obliged TO stay in the
house AL the time that congress is in
session But Gillett does not begin TO
do the amOunt of work that Jim Mann
used to do when he was serving as
minority leader.
On the senate side the hardest work
ing men are Senator Martin, chairman
of the appropriations committee; Sen
ator Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, and Senator Smoot, who is
member of both of these committees,
as we'll as of several other important
committees, and who makes 1t his bus
mess TO look after everything that
goes on in the senate.
No doubt other senators and repre-
sentatives are busy, but they are to
large extent engaged in business which
relates to their own personal affairs,
particularly just at this time when
the congressional election Is coming
on.

From the discussions that are heard
from time to time around Wash
ington it may be assumed that q
great many people are getting tired
of the activities of German spies.
Senator Overman of North Carolina.
who has at all times been very anx-
ious to have severe espionage laws en-
acted. told the senate not long ago
that he at one time asserted that there
were 100000 German spies in this
country. He stated that he is now
prepared to say, and did assert, that
there were 100000 active German
spies working against the interests of
the United States and in the interests
of Germany. This rather startled the
United States senate, and it has set
quite a lot of people thinking. The
probabilities are that the activities of
the spies will result in much more
drastic legislation in order to secure
convictions, and also to make the pen
alties much more severe so as to dis
courage those who are trying to be-
tray the United States government, or
at least secure the longtime impris-
onment or execution of these agents
of Germany who are living in this free
and enlightened country.
