LETTERS FROM SOLDIER BOYS.

] will tell you about one little Incl
dent and then let the bombing go. for
awhile. One night; the first one on
which we were bombed-a bunch of
us were outside the billets (stables
made into sleeping quarters) sky
gazing. A smart Sergeant from
somewhere up north, was arguing OF
at least stating that a certain ma
chine that was persistently buzzing
overhead was an allied one. / sug-
gested that it was rather funny that
the British guns were shooting at one
Of our own machines. He said 80,
a German engine sounds differently
from an allied one" Just at that time
machine gun opened up-put-put put!
He turned with a knowing air and
said, Hear that engine? can't you
tell the differnce? He had heard that
there is a difference in the hum of the
German and allied motors, which is
true. About that time bomb drop
ped right in front of US. 1t tore up
the ground and shattered shrapnel
all around. turned to see who it was
still standing beside me-the rest, in
Guiding the Sergeant, had scattered
into the billets like rats into their
holes. 1t was Mac, calmly breaking
into bits, a little stick he had in his
hand. Key wasn't in the bunch.
Next morning I dug out a few pieces
of the bomb and trimmed cane from
limb of tree it tore off. have five
of the pieces. Will send some home
I left the stick at the 10th. General
Hospital. While / was at that place,
they had a few baseball games. As I
was in bed only a few days, ! ambled
over several times. You should
have heard the English comment
on the game. They know absolutely
nothing about it. Some of these hos
pitfalls are for all the allied patients.
In fact, if the soldiers are in need of
medical treatment they are sent to
the nearest place. / told in another
letter the name of the ship / came
over on, but / guess it was cut out
by the censor. 1t was the Mauri-
tania and it took US six and half
lays. We could have made it sooner
but we lodged around out of our
course to avoid a "sub" that was on
our trail. One of the American de-
stroyers with US dropped a depth
bomb and claimed they got it. I don't
know whether they did or not, but it
surely did jar the ship. / was on
guard twice coming over. One time
at night, my post was at main door
from the officers stateroomS to the
1ecl. / was to allow no one to open
hat door. 1t was against the rules
.or anyone to be on deck after dark.
On the sea a submarine can see a
cigarette mile so they say. Next time
{ will tell you about the guns shooting
1t a plane in day time. Am feeling
inc and believe l could get Hun. ]
guess I will be here for several
months.
With best love to all, l am your son,
JOHN.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
VIII Avoid Ensland's Mistake.

In England, ut the outbreak of the
war, they made the mistake Of driv-
ing the workers too hard, measure
that, far from being good economy, led
to illness and waste and to the estab-
fishing by philanthropic bodies Of rest
houses for munition workers. The
American association for labor legisla-
ton is determined, If possible, to keep
that mistake from being repeated here.
The need of protection is all the great
er because of the sudden entrance into
industry of women In large numbers,
mothers Of the present and of the fu-
ture. Then, too, much Of the work
now undertaken is hurried. There are
dangers that go with hurriedly Install
ed machinery and with activity at high
pressures.
The association emphasizes the ar
gument that advance social insur-
ance" Is IAN effective method Of pre-
venting accidents and illness" 1t calls
attention to the need of keeping the
places where the work is done sani-
tary, with plenty of light and air. Much
Of the new work Is done at some risk,
but at a risk that can be mInimized.
Careful protection OF workers in muni-
tion factories means increased protec-
tion TO the factories as well as In
creased efficiency Of the work.

the loss of job. The most rigorous
of private employers was never more
drastic in opposition to unions than
the post office department has proved
to be.
ut would relieve a certain confu-
sion in the public mind if the govern
ment would clear up this discrepancy,
at least to the extent of treating it's
civil servants as well as it expects
private employers to treat their
labor"
The report of the presidents medi-
alton commission referred to by the
Ell Paso Herald is as follows:
Modern large-scale industry has
effectually destroyed the personal re-
lation between employer and employe
the knowledge and cooperation
that come from personal contact 1t
is, therefore, no longer possible to
conduct industry by dealing with en-
ployes as individuals. Some form of
collective relationship between man
agement and men is indispensable.
The recognition of this principle by
the government should form an ac-
cepted part of the labor policy of the
nation"

"Punkin" Peters, under Indictment
because of midnight visits to shoe
store cellar containing rubber boots,
was joined by another one of Sheriff
Peppers ex-boarders this week on
the job at the Niles foundry. William
Moebus, former member of the city
fire department, and who beat his
wife and was bound over to the grand
jury in the sum of $500, in default of
which he was locked up in the jail,
finally gave bond, was released and
went to work in the Niles foundry on
last Monday. 1t seems strange,
doesn't it, that these fellows as soon
as they are released from Jail break
right for the foundry employing
strikebreakers ? Of course there is an
old adage of-Birds of a feather ETC.,
but - indications are that we'll
have an early spring.

Women Supplant
nen.

Spokane, Wash.-Federal union
No. 1922, affiliated with the A. F.
of L. protests against the employ
ment of women in the lumber and
railroad industries while men are
looking for employment The union
declares:
"The employment of women in Spo-
kane at manual labor seems to be
rapidly increasing. Women are at
present employed at labor that is
hard, dangerous and disagreeable.
Our boasted American chivalry has
bowed to the dollar"
While the resolution was being con-
sidered by the central labor council
delegates declared there is plenty of
idle labor in Spokane and there is no
necessity for employing women on
the pretext of labor shortage.
The council opposed the employ
ment of women at heavy manual la
Dor and the employment of women
where their husbands are able to earn
wages.

Much has been said in the papers
throughout the country of the Nat
ional German American Alliance,
charging it with being disloyal and
demanding its dissolution. While
some of the individual members may
be guilty of disloyalty we don't be-
lieve the organization should so be
charged. We believe we are stating
facts and havn't any reason to believe
otherwise when we say there is no
more loyal organization in this city
than the local branch of the Alliance.
AS an organization it has done
everything within its power to show
that loyalty. On Washington's birth
day it held a great patriotic meeting
in its home on Court Street Any
one attending that meeting can't
doubt for a minute the patriotism
and loyalty of the organization. 1t
has purchased liberty bonds and
thrift stamps, the wives and daught-
ers of its members are knitting that
the boys going to the front may keep
warm and in many other ways they
are contributing to the comfort of
our boys.
Naturally the Germans sympathize
with the people of the fatherland,
where many of them have father,
mother, sisters and brothers,. Presi-
dent Wilson says we are at war a.
gainst the German Government and
not the German people. AS to the
loyalty of the Germans of this city
for this country as against the Ger
man Government THERE CAN BE
NO DOUBT.
The German-American Alliance as
an organization should not be held
responsible for the utterances of its
individual members any more than
America should be held responsible
for the utterances of individual Amer
leans who may be disloyal, and shame
to say it we've got a few right here
in our midst who might be safely so
charged and who are walking
pretty close to the edge.
But again, THE GERMANS OF
THIS CITY ARE LOYAL TO THIS
COUNTRY, THE COUNTRY OF
THEIR ADOPTION.

WOmen's Wage Is Low.

Boston.-More than $4,000 women
work in Massachusetts factories and
mills at a wage of less than SO a
week, Henry Sterling, trade unionist,
told the legislative committee on So
cial welfare, which is considering leg
islation affecting wage workers.
Sterling and other unionists asked
that teeth" be inserted in this legis-
lation. Now the state minimum wage
commission can only recommend wage
scales for women. Eben S. Stevens,
textile manufacturer, urged that
conditions remain as they are because,
he said, it was not wise to extend the
powers of judge, jury and prosecut-
ing attorney to this commission.
Mr.. Stevens feared that the com
mission, in its desire to enforce
living wage for women, would be
given "blacknailing powers" and
lower the Massachusetts industrial
plane by raising wages.

Why Can't P. 0. Men
Unite !?

Ell Paso, Textile El Paso Herald
suggests that Postmaster General
Burleson get in line with the govern
ment's policy on trade unionism, as
indicated by a report of the presi-
rents mediation commission.
"How is this pro-unionism to be
reconciled with the marked antagon-
ism of the government toward union
ism in the post office department ?"
asks the Herald
Postal employees now understand
that union agitation is equivalent to
