THE strike of. 10000 miscellaneous
workers in mpathy with the $4,000
shipyard workers already out comes as
last resort to break down the auto
cratic opposition of General Manag ger
Piez of the emergency fleet corpora
ton to a local settlement of the
trouble. Piez has assumed an abso-
lutely indefe lsible position, and by
virtue of his control of sources of
publicity has sueceedo, in misleading
large part of the nation into a COM
plete misunderstanding of affairs. The
Macy board has jurisdiction only in
case of failure of local workers and
employers to reach agreement. Piez
has prevented negotiations for local
agreement by declaring he would stop
shipments of steel to local yards
Contrary to reports sedu1ously cir
culated, there is no revolutionary sig
nificance to the strike. tho if agree
ment is not soon cached it has revo-
lutionary possibilities. The entire
matter is one of adequate wages for
the men who made the success of the
American forces in Europe possible by
furnishing them the ships"

big advance in the minimum export prices
on corn had been made by the Argentine
government had O decided bullish effect to-
day on the corn market here. Strength was
also impaired by assertions that the United
States food administration would resume
purchasing flour next week for European
relief: in addition gossip was current that
packers had received large orders from the
food administration. Opening prices, which
ranged from &c off to 1c advance with
May Silica to s1.15 and July s1.1oA TO
$1.111@, were followed by a slight reaction
and then by sharp upturns all around.
In the last hour heavy selling by speeula-
tors led to a sharp reduction. The close
was unsettled, 2Ac net lower to &c ad

Ethan Allen, Division Manager,

scribeS Future Work.

Any impression that the American
Rec Cross, having finished its war
task. IS going back to the status 1t
occupied before the war is dissipated
by the announcement by Ethan Allen,
of the Atlantic Division of
the Red Cross. that the organization is
buckiing Gown to a most strenuous
peace program of permanent activities
at home.

trip to England and France, and brings

about the work of the American Red

u. S. SCHOOLS TO HELP
CHILDREN OF EUROPE
Junior Red Cross to Raise ST.
100000 to Support Foreign
and Domestic Activities.

A peace program for the Junior Red
Cross, embodying public health and
the relief of child sufferers in war
swept Europe, particularly the near
East, has been put into operation by
the Bureau of Junior Activities of the
Atlantic Division of the American Red
Cross.
For the relief of destitute children
abroad, the Junior Red Cross has de-
cided to appropriate sixty per cent. OF
all its funds. Before January l, school
children enrolled in the Junior Red
Cross will raise a national fund of
$1,000,000 a large part of which will
go to support their activities in behalf
of the suffering boys and girls abroad.
One of the first steps will be the TAX
ing over of the maintenance of the
Red Cross Home for war orphans at
Mount Zion, Jerusalem, where children
orphaned by the war, whatever their
nationality, are sheltered.
1t is especially significant that the
children of America should form bonds
of union with their cousins in remote
lands. In this time of unprecedented
international intercourse when nations
and races are being drawn together
through new common ties and interests
discovered to them by the war, the
Red Cross regards 1t as fitting that the
coming generation should thus early
be brought in touch with the movement
of world friendliness and understand
ing.
School Superintendent Cooperating.
The promotion of this understanding
will be facilitated by the dissemination
abroad of literature concerning the life
and activities, the sports and studies
of American school children. This will
be undertaken by the Junior Red
Cross.
School superintendent are cooper
ating with the Red Cross In the train
ing of school children in the elements
of public health service. Much prog
ress already. has been made and many
districts have established and equipped
centers of instruction.
According to Colonel @. II. Conner of
the Army Medical Corps and assistant
director general of the Red Cross Mill
tary Relief, there is every reason TO
believe that Red Cross first aid courses
will shortly be introduced in every
school in the United States and. Alaska
as part of the permanent peace pro-
gram of the Junior Red Cross.
With the growing number of &C.
cidents-and figures show that there
are increased casualties every year
the Red Cross regards it as n of the
highest services possible to public vel
fare to instruct children in the rudi-
ments of first aid, for it is In the skill
full application of immediate relief dur
ing the precious few minutes between
the accident and the arrival of a doc
tor that many a life may be saved.

development and coordination of hui
manitarian effort throughout the world.
"a most strenuous task Is ahead for
the Red Cross in America" said Mr..
Allen. "In community work, in recre-
ational activities, in the hospitals oper-
ated by the United States Public
Health Service, in home service work
for the benefit of needy and suffering
civilian families, in nursing and in
Junior Red Cross work In the schools,
the American Red Cross will yield the
best that it can offer.
"The health work alone is an i'm.
mense undertaking. An enormous toll
is claimed each year by ~preventable
diseases. Each year, in giving birth
20 babies, 10000 mothers die. Then,
there are the diseases which work
havoc among children and there is the
lack of proper care which results in
undernourishment and underdevelop-
ment The work of the Red Cross not
only will contribute to building up the
lives of these children and safeguard.
ing the health and strength of Amer.
lean mothers, but it also will do much
toward the happiness of American
homes.
Home Service Comprehensive.
From platforms of Chautauqua cir
chits, Red Cross nurses now are urging
communities to take up public health
work in order that these communities
may be equipped to combat diseases
and epidemics such as the "FIu," and
that they may be able to enforce every
%precautiOn particularly in cases of con-
tagious diseases. The importance of
this can easily be seen when it is
known that diphtheria alone killed 49,
600 children in 1918.
THE home service plans of the Red
Cross are especially comprehensive. 1t
has been decided not only fully to dis
charge the pledges of the Red Cross
to dependent families of soldiers and
sailors who served in the war, but to
extend this helpful agency to com
munfties which are not yet awake to
their social needs and social obliga-
tons. Part of Red Cross Chapter
funds will be available for assisting
families who are finding the burden of
living too heavy for them to carry I'M
assisted.
with the close of the vacation
period children in American schools
will take up Red Cross activities with
r%edoubled energy. These children are
to raise a national fund of 81, 000, 900,
sixty per cent. of which will be used
in helping destitute children abroad.
The remainder of the fund will support
the Red Cross activities in the schools
here. There will be work on garment
production, first aid classes, manufac-
turing ane for war cripples and ma
terials for hospitals, knitting and cook
ing. In addition, every effort will be
made to inculcate health habits in the
children"
Spirit Of UnseIfishness
Mr.. Allen spoke of the great impor-
lance to the world of the formation of
the League of Red Cross Societies
which was completed while he was
abroad.
"In my talks with the men who
played a leading part in the establish
neut Of this league, ] noted, above all,
a spirit Of unselish devotion to the
cause IF humanity" he said.
