Attitude of Employers.

am sorry to say that there are
still some in this country, some enl-
ployers, who feel that this is a good
time, under the guise of patriotism,
under the guise and pretense that la
Dor is not doing its duty, to take
advantage of that situation and ex-
plot it, That is not fair, it is not in
line with the real patriotism that we
know and believe in. We not only
want labor to be fairly and decently
treated now, but that it may remain
hundred per cent efficient when the
war is over, and when the reconstruc-
ton period begins, labor and capital
can go on and make and maintain
this great country of ours, keep it in
the place it has always had, and make
it the haven and the refuge for the
downtrodden and oppressed, and so
that the flag of our country will wave
to the world, welcoming them to the
folds and say, Under this flag you
will receive justice, protection and
fair play, because we are a real pa
triotic country-America."
| have no apologies to make for
any one who is not doing his full
duty in this crisis, whether it is the
man in the workshop, the man in the
bank or in any other institution
There is no division of responsibility
so far as our duty is concerned. 1t
is true that some of us may be so
situated that we may be able to give
a greater service and do it much bet
ter than some one else, but SO far as
our loyalty and our patriotism and
our willingness to give our all,
whether it is great or small, there
should be no distinction (Applause)
Labor at Work for the War.
Labor is at work in the workshops,
and in the mines to produce the min
erals that make the powerful guns
and the shells and the ammunition
necessary for our men to fight. There
are the men in the coal mines who
produce the coal so necessary to make
the steam that operates the plants
and the engines on the railroad that
the supplies necessary to feed and
equip them, as well as to furnish the
civil population of our country.
Naturally, labor is interested in
work. They are contributing more
each day. You have read of the short
comings Of few, and when the truth
was learned. it was found that men
who had not yet been efficiently train
ed expected to do much higher task

Hun Commanders Losing
All Control of Operations

Win TIM rkE,NL-l -4r,hLES IN
THE FIELD, Aug. 29.-(By the Assoc
ciated Press. )--(10 a. m.)-Noyon was
occupied this morning by the troops OF
General Humbert.
General Mangin's men crossed the Disc
river and took Morlincourt.
The French first army took Quesnoy
wood just to the west of the canal d.l
Nord. The wood was a strongly forti-
fled position and from. 1t the Germans
endeavoIed to check the French pnr.
suit.
The rapidly succeeding military events
not only confirm that the Germans have
lost all control of their operations in
the regions of the Somme, Avre and
Disc rivers, but they indicate that the
enemy|own retreat is getting out o.
hand. -
The effort to stem the French pur-
suit by fighting rear guard actions with
machine gun sections, leaving a section
at intervals of about 400 yards was only
locally successful. On ground espe-
cially favorable for that sort Of re-
sfstance such as the terrain around
Roye, It gained some time for the en-
envy, enabling him to move a great
many guns and considerable part OF
his material behind the canal du Nord
and north of Noyon.
mastered, the strength of the German
rear guard dwindled to almost nothing.
The Germans, hustled violently by the
French advance guard, we're obliged to
risk an engagement with important
forces CT to quicken their retreat.
The Germans adopted the latter plan
and since yesterday morning they have
been making all possible haste on the
road leading to Saint Quentin, La Fere
and the Hindenburg line.
The strong position OF Quesnoy WOOD
just west of the canal du Nord. from
which the Germans tried by means or
the heavy fire of all calibres of artil-
lery to check the French troops ad'
vancing on both sides of the Royce
Noyon road was captured this morn
ing. .
Pressure from General Humberts
army from the west and from General
Mangin's army, who crossed the river
Disc from the south and took Morltn-
court this morning while other. French
troops were entering Noyon. adds great
ly to the difficulties of the enemy. The
increased danger from those directions
will oblige the Germans to make fur-
Their sacrifices in order to save General
Won Hutjers army from disaster.
The Scmme line has been m ade dill :
ficult for the Germans by the rapidity
of the entente allied pursuit, there is
now a question with the French troops
ready to cross the Somme at. the en-
emy's heels as to where he Will be able

Although l have taken no outspoken
stand through my columns, this sec
ton, which has been strong for Hard
wick and Harris, is fast going to How
ard. and 1 am certain after he speaks
here the change will be much greater.
1 am a great admirer of Mr.. Howard
myself and / am sure he is going to
stir up things in this section. He Is
getting the last whack.
