,ANTI-SOCIAL STRIKES.
TIE si Times

. The cable informed the world
that the strike Of port workers at
Buenos Aires had Y" prevented
100000 tons of cargd,ef from enter
ing the port, and had prevented
100000 tons of meat from that
the export of 100000 tons of neat
from that port.
That is a sorry sequel to Az
gentina s advance Of 100000, 600
to the Allies to be used in payment
for foodstuffs and raw materials.
TO be sure, the strike makes a
better market for Others who have
such goods for sale, but nobody eX
cept strikers would create such con
ditions. Their selfish benefit it not
as clear as the injury to others,
both in Argentina and in the hun
cry countries. Such incidents are
too common, and. their reaction
upon thestrikers is invariable.
In Seattle the strikers /, lost
$3,5OO,00O in wages, and damaged
trade unionism beyond estimate by
the disclosure of the extent to
which some laborers are willing to
when they are receinving not only
the highet wages ever known, but
so high that they prejudiced other
laborers and disturbed the nation S
scale Of prevailing wages. in Butte,
too, the conditions were revolution
nary, although wages and prices
in the copper industry are on a
sliding scale agreed to be fair
when prices were rising, but open
to forcible resistepce when prices
are falling. What can capital do
more to persuade labor that it is
receiving fair deal and has a stake
in the industry? labor cannot have
the feelings of a partner, and there
fore cannot be qualified for part
nership, unless it is willing to
share the fat with the lean.
Reason should be met by reason,
but force be met only with
force. Collective Bargaining should
be allowed, but not unlaw-
full duress. Humane considerations
should be favored, but there
should be no parleying with those
who create disorders, or who com

terest of everybody including the
strikers. The solidarity of the
whole mass is superior to the So
lidarity of the class. Glass patriot
ism is anti-social. Mass patriotism
is the patriotism of country, the
only true patriotism. Glass solid

surprising it's humane qualities,
which sometimes are manifested in
the manner of the revolutionary

now it is doing especially good
work in the reconstruction of di-

GREECE
The Red Cross in Greece has
seen perilous times. At the out
break Of the Balkan war this So
ciety became very active. 1t col
lccted considerable money, equip
ped and sent a medical unit of
Serbia and Montenegro, beside con-
tributing to other Red Cross socie-
ties. After Greece was herself
drawn into the world war the de-
mands upon her Red Cross became
SO great that instead of being oble
to help others she was forced to call
ON others for help. Due to the fact
that Greece has been involved in
so many wars, its national Red
Cross society has had vast eXper-
ience and so out-ranks many others
in the matter Of efficiency.

work limited to Japan. The ma

WARDEN SAILS TODD
WORK IN NEAR EAST

White River Junction, Jan. 7.-David
Royal Warden of East Barnet, and until
recently student at the Norwich Univer-
sity. Northfleld, sailed on the Pensac cola
for Constantinople with large party of
relief workers under the direction of the
American committee for relief in the
Near East.
Accompanying Mr.. Warden on the
Pensacola were a number of former
army officers and enlisted men of the
United States army. including aviators,
who. having seen service with the
colors, desire to take part in the re-
construction work which the American
committee for relief in the Near East
Is carrying on among the 100000 sui.
fering people in Armenia, Persia, Syria
and Palestine. The three years of mill
tary training which Mr.. Warden has
had at Norwich University and the
active service which his associates on
the Pensacola have seen is to be turned
to good account by the committee IN
its campaign against famine and destitu-
tlon in western Asia. Most of the men
who sailed with Mr.. Warden are young
and athletic and all are we'll fitted to
tackle the big problems that are to be
found In western Asia right now.
Like the other men of the Pensacola
Mr. Warden has volunteered his services
to the committee and will remain
abroad for at least a year.

BAKER SOLVES
KNOTTY PROBLEM
No Army Man Shall Be Dis
charged Against His Desire
Until He Has Job in Sight

Washington, Jan. A-To solve the prob
lem of unemployed discharged soldiers.
the war department has ordered that no
man be discharged from the army against
his desire until such time as he can OBJ
tain employment in civil life.
1t was announced to-day that orders
had been telegraphed to all department
and division commanders at Secretary
Bakers direction to retain all men who
desire to remain temporarily In the serv-
ice, without prejudice to their subsequent
discharge to take employment
The order follows:
"All commanding officers will take steps
to insure that every enlisted man in their
command understands thoroughly that
the war department does not desire to
discharge any soldier who cannot secure
civil employment. 1t will be made clear
to every soldier that where he would
normally be discharged under orders for
rehabilitation, he may remain tempo-
rarily in the military service at his own
written request until such time a. he
| can secure employment. The fact that
he requests to remain in the army tenn
porarily does not In any way operate to
compel him to remain In the army for a
long period Of time against his will. ANY
man who would normally have been dis
charged If he had not expressed his de-
sire in writing to remain In the service.
may therefore be discharged from the
service at his own request whenever he
thinks he may secure employment. All
such men as are retained temporarily
under the above authority will be at.
| tached to the most convenient unit and
where their services will be most useful"
In connection with this policy, adopted
after orders were issued last week for
| rehabilitation of the combat divisions
in the United States, 1t was said that
action to prevent large proportion of
these men from facing unemployment
| was taken not only to protect the SOL
der Individually, but because Of its
effect upon employment conditions
throughout the country.
| Another aspect of the new policy ID
that the families of married soldiers
| will continue to draw their allotments
| from the government during this tenn
| porary service. For the time being, at
| least, the war department will have
, ample work to keep the men busy in
handling rehabilitation of other troops
and in storing war material. and in SINH
| lar tasks.
