| Edinburgh, May 2i.--That Germany
IS straining every nerve to strike
decisive blow before the American
armies can be brought into the field
was the statement made today by Da-
via lloyd-Gcorsc, the prime minister,
in an address OH the occasion of his
being rendered the freedom of the city
OF Edinburgh.
The allied commanders, who knew
best what the prospects were, he add
ed, felt most confident about the result
Mr.. Lloyd-George said that while
the United States was rushing it's men
into France, in its present strength Of
| those armies was equivalent to one
fifth Of the fighting strength which
was gained by the Teutonic allies
! through the collapse of Russia.
The premier was most optimistic as
regards the submarine campaign of
Germany. He said while the menace
of the. underwater boat had not been
entirely removed, the allied nations
now were building ships faster than
they could be sunk and that the unrc-
strictcd submarine warfare might be
disrcgardcd as a vital danger by the
entente nations.
The prospects Of using the entire
force Of the allies were very bright,
said Mr.. Lloyd-George in discussing
| the united command Of the entente
armies in France. He sounded a note
of warning during his address as to
Gcrmany's peace proposals, saying
that the Prussian autocracy did not in
tend to bring the war to an end "un-
til its basket is rs full as it can hold"
Rcvcrting 10 the shipping situation
the premier said that in April the out
put OF shipping for the first time cx-
cccdcd the losses. This statement was
greeted with great enthusiasm.
The premier paid tribute 10 the
sailors of the navy and the mercantile
marine, whose invinciAle valov over

WORK DAY AN AID
TO DEMOCRACY.

A government committee on adult
education in England reports it's con-
illusions that IL is impossible to con-
slider adult education apart from
those social and industrial conditions
which determine to a large degree
the educational opportunities. the in
terests and the general outlook of
men and women"
The committee finds that before
education can be more generally diff
fused "some changes in industrial
organization are desirable in order
that the widening of intellectual In
terests of growing number of our
citizens may obtain fuller opportuni-
ties of development"
1t is declared that the maximum
legal working day should not be
more than eight hours II men and
women are to take part in the intel
lectual and social activities of the
community. In certain heavy and
exha listing kinds of work, and those
accompanied by special disabilities.
the committee believes that eight
hours is too long.
1.-THE unduly long hours" it is
stated, (which still obtain in many
industries are, in fact, but a legacy
from the, traditions of half century
and more ago, end persist in the face
of scientific proof of their uneconom-
ical results"
Other changes that must be made
in the industrial organism referred
to by the committee include regula-
ton of shift and night work, monot-
onous work, heavy work, unemploy-
ment, holidays, housing, rural con-
ditions and the problem as it affects
women.
Holidays, with opportunity for
travel, are recommended. 1t is de-
clared that majority of the work
ing people are badly housed, which
affects not only the man, but the
woman, because of lack of privacy
and comfort, $50 that home life, in
consequence, must suffer-"
The changes are recommended in
the interest OF democracy. as is indi-
Gated by this statement:
''In view both of the grave prob
lens with which the country will be
confronted in the generations after
the war, and of the ever-increasing
completely of social organization, the
need for the intelligent interest and
the active cooperation of the mass
Of citizens will be greater than ever
before. 1t is observed that democ-
racy can only be operative through
an educated community, and that the
development Of education among
children and adolescents, so far from
superseding the net d for educational
opportunities for adults, will lend
additional emphasis to It,"

APPEAL OF AWARD
APPROVED LOCALLY

Delegates who attended the meet
ing of shipyard workers in Seattle
last week returned home Monday
and will report to their unions as fast
as sessions are resumed following
tho lifting of the flu ban.
Ship Carpenters held session
Thursday night, the first of the large
unions to resume regular sessions.
The delegates reported and the
union is in full accord with the deter
|. mination of the convention to ask
flor a review of the award by the
Walsh-Taft board. The report of the
special committee to the convention
is as follows:
1t has been impossible, owing to
the length of time it would involve,
for us to give an exhaustive study of
the award, but we have gone into the
details as much as time would permit
and we have come to the conclusion,
from the consensus of opinion ex-
pressed by the majority of delegates,
that the award is very unsatisfactory
to the membership on the Pacific
Coast.
We, therefore, recommend to the
Pacific Coast Metal Trades Council
that the award as a whole be reject
ed, and that an immediate appeal be
made to the board of review and ap-
peals for reconsideration of the
award. N
We further recommend that the
Council take immediate steps by
electing committe composed Of

WAR COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN RE.
SUITS.

Al the noonccy luncheon of the
committeeman of tho WAR Service
campaign today President Padget of
the Trades Council reported that
contributions of union men had
reached $4,000. This is only a par
tial report Some unions have not
turned in a report and practically all
reports are incomplete. However,
the bulk of the subscriptions are in.
The sEipyards reported $500, the
balance being distributed among the
smaller unions engaged in work not
connected with the shipbuilding in
dustry.

districts, one of whom shall represent
the navy yards, and one from each of
the following districts: Seattle, Taco
ma, Portland, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, who shall Immediately pro-
coed to Washington to place the case
before the board of review and ap-
peals.
After searching review of the
provisions of the award made by the
board covering hours, wages and
working conditions, your committee
finds that not only have some condi-
tions been arbitrarily taken away
from us, but in some instances the
membership have actually suffered
a reduction in wages. We therefore
recommend that the District Council
instructs the representatives to pre-
sent, and stand by, the original de-
mands submitted by this council last
August.
Inasmuch as the membership has
been patiently awaiting the award
since September Is, we believe that
the decision can and should be made
before December 8. In the meantime
the membership should be instructed
to take referendum vote and, fail
ing the rendering of the result of the
appeal by the above date. that we
should use every means in our power
to enforce the actions of this Coun-
Gil as outlined in the original de-
mands, and request the membership
to remain at work until the date spe-

of the Shipyard Laborers, Riggers &
Fasteners, has been segregated by
the committee and Is as follows:

UNORGANIZED FACE TOUGH
PROPOSITION.

The Pennsylvania Labor Herald
drops this hint to nonunionists:
There is no need for any trade to
refuse to organize at this time. The
war will end one of these days and
then the reconstruction period will
begin. The organized workers will
have some chance of working their
way out of any difficulties that may
face them, but the unorganized will
face tough proposition"
