TOBACCO TRUST EMPLOYEES STRIKE
 AT ST. LOUIS

ST LOUIS, March 11-The great strike which started last week at the plant of the Wagner Electric Co.,, is still spreading, today 6.500 employees of the Tobacco Trust. at the Ligget and Meyer Plant joined the strike.
 They are demanding the abolition of the bonus system and the peace work system and ask for recognition of the Union, the eight hour day and an in crease in wages. The Federal Media tors have arrived here but so far have been unable to check the strike owing to the fact that the Wagner Co. refus- es to give an inch. The strikers whose numbers are being added to daily continue to hold large mass meetings at which the Amendment of the Espionage Act is alluded to as the American Slave Measure and con
 Iemned as such in the most scatt- ing terms. All Senators and Represen- tatives of the State of Missouri have been petitioned to use their influence to have this vicious class measure re- pcaIcd and failing to heed this ap- peal are warned that they shall never

U. s. OFFICER REPORTS
 AFTER 2 YRS. FRANCE

WASHINGTON, D. c. Mar 10.- An American, supposed to be a re- tired army officer, who has just re- turned from two years stay in France, expresses it as his opinion, that the only reason that the Ger mans continue to win, is not be- cause of any superiority either in numbers of men or kind or men, but because they are being directed by one head-the German General Staff, He says he is opposed to this war and all other wars because they are never carried on in the interests of the people who must do the fight ing, but that if we must have them, there is no reason inthe world why they cannot be carried on in a scien- tific manner. He says that every American realizes that the United States must bear the brunt of the war from now on and that
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-03-12

since such is the case it is uo more than just that this country should insist, as it has right to insist, that the war from now on shall be run on a scientific basis-thatis, by @ War Head similar to the German General Staff. The war cannot run on in the haphazard way it has been run if we expect to win. No business can be run in a successful manner where there is a dozen heads of departments none of whom recognizes the fact that their indi- vidual departments must be subser- vient to the success of the whole and who do not acknowledge supreme authority. To illustrate he shows the Germans with linden berg and Ludendorff, as being the real military geniuses of the German General Staff, which is in absolute .ontrol of all plans and operations

The aeroplancs followed the retraating army striking terror to the hearts of the true believers in Mchammed and causing more than $500 to surrender. The Turkish army were pursued for more than 22 miles along the Euphrales river toward Ana about 60 miles from Hit. General Maude stated in his report that it is now simply a matter of bringing up suplies and a continuance of the puruit, as the Turkish army is now completely [emorallzed and he has every hope fdf being able to drive them entirely from the Mesopotamian Valley.

DES MONIES, la, March 11-Eight Socialists who have been selected for draft at St Paul have refused to serve. They stated that they objected to the conscription of human life as long as wealth and industry were not con- scripted also. Their cases have been in leugation since June, at which time they refused to register, but be- ing unable to convict them in the civil court the cases were referred to a military court. They claimed that the military court had no jurisdiction over their cases as they were not vet a part of the military establishment but their objection was over-ruled and they were each given from twenty to twenty five years in prison.

PROVIDENCE, k. l. Mar. H. United States Secret Service opera tive, who have been detailed to acquire all possible Information of crookedness on the part of railroad officials in dealing with the govern ment since and before the taking over of the roads, have sent in their report to Secretary McAdoo today The report containsample evidence to prove that a conspiracy existed and still exists, to discredit in every way possible, government control or ownership.
 The government investigators have uncovered asurprising mass of discriminating evidence showing how the officials put green men at the heads of departments such as train masters, Traffic managers, division superintendents, and train despatch CTS, to delay in every way possible the movement of trains, and the in crease of cost of maintainance so as to make i tappcar that govern ment operation, with it's extraVag-

 The department is preparing for the vigorous prosecution of these criminals at the earliest possible moment.

They also changed old men ct the switch towers and put new men, entirely green at railroad work, at switch tending so that not only main line traffic would be tied-up and delayed but yard work also. A green man or boy would some times be put in charge of switches where at times the mistake made in throwing a pug gle switch the wrong way would result in a wreck at terminal
