Where Federal Labor

(From The New York SUM-

In number OF its features the Fed

amount to little or nothing. But on
this Government program are two

two things much OF the really dam

would naturally readjust itself back to
better conditions.
One thing the Government can do
and ough to do Immediately Is to stop
It's own bidding, directly and in
directly, or labor away from fields
where 1t can be useful, TO Government
shipyards, cantonments or other places
where a good part OF that labor can
be OF no use TO itself or to anybody
else.
Steel plants and munition factories
have been foolish enough TO send oul
agents through the coal territory 10
Induce miners and miners helpers to
quit their Jobs for higher pay in the
steel and munition plants. Not only did
those plants get nothing much worth
while for their purposes from that
soft OF labor but they soon discovered
that as they pulled away men from the
mines they cut off their own coal sup
ply.
But there was no worse offender
than the Government itself. When III

WAR WON'T end

German Official Says Ii

(By Newspaper Enterprise Association
BERNE, Switzerland, July 3i@The
submarine menace will not be a thing
OF the past even when peace treaties
are signed and armies demobllized.
Germany Will still keep her U-boat
forces intact, ready TO be launched forth
at any moment at the order OF the
Junkers.
These were the statements Of Pro
fessor Hermann Levy, said to be rep
resentatiye Of the German admiralty,
at notable gathering in Munich.
Speaking Of the possibility Of trade
war after tho present war, the pro
fessor said:
Though there may be no official
boycott Of German goods, England will.
endeavor to injure German
trade In all possible ways. Against
this, there is only one remedy. The
submarine danger must be hung per-
petually over Great Britain like the
sword Of Damocles, 10 deprive her ef-
fectually OF all inclination to assume
an attitude detrimental to German in
ternatlonal trade.
"GTeat Britain cannot spare the men
or the money TO transform herself into
an agricultural land able to support
herself. II would be foolhardly for her
TO run into a new war when German
submarines would cut of her sources
OF supply.
Under such conditions the threat
Of another submarine war would be
enough OF keep the British empire
towards German wishes
and would enable Germany TO protect
her trade effectively"

+, in two, three or four times what ne

self organized in its work, shipped
some OF the incompetents, selected
more carefully those that were left'
and took reasonable pains in engaging
new labor. But the fables OF what any
man, without arms. without legs, with
out eyes, could get from the Govern
ment for doing nothing at all are stu
enhancing a large proportion OF the
wage earners OF the United States. Here
the trouble has been not merely that
the men who packed their kits and
started for a Government JOB were
gone for a season from where they
were needed: Just as bad was the fact
that those who were LETT Dehlnh

presidents, and were going to hold them
as life jobs.
