ANTI-UNION FORCES FORCED SEA STRIKE
 SAYS LA TOILETTE
Demands Investigation by Senate In- to Facts Surrounding Marine
 Disturbance

Washington, Aug. 5.-In a speech in the senate favoring an investiga- ton of the recent marine strike, MT. La Toilette said:
 "I lay down this proposition that American seamen are essential to the American merchant marine
 "I start this discussion with the proposition, which will not be con troverted by anyone at all familiar with the subject, that we can never have an American merchant marine unless we can attract to the marine service and retain in 1t genuine American seamen and officers to man and operate the ships. 1 am not go- ing to take the time to elaborate that proposition. Not only does the his tory of every maritime power in the world prove it's truth, but the mani fest purpose of every country in the world today except the United States, with any maritime pretensions, to man its merchant ships with its own citizens shows how universally the truth of the proposition l have just stated is recognized by the maritime nations of the world.
 For hundred years we have had the money; we have had the busi- ness; we could easily have had the ships. The reason we did not have a merchant marine was beiause we had not attracted American seamen to the service.'
 The speaker proved that the strike was not over wages, but over work ing conditions. Admiral Benson, then head of the shipping board who stood with the ship owners, Is quoted be- fore a senate committee on May 9 last:
 "I think that the question of wages IS always little exaggerated because under any system 1t is not much over
 10 per cent. ot the total cost ot opera tion."
 This means, said Senator La Fol
 lette, that our of every $I,ooo for ship operation, $IOo went to labor, and the reduction which the shipping board demanded and agreed to by the men, is SIS.
 The speaker said that the mistakes
 of an unskilled or inefficient crew would more than offset this so-called
 wage saving in single voyage.
 Tt is not question of wages at all. It is a question of destroying
 the mems organizations and of sub jecting them to working conditions which they will not stand and ulti- mately Ot driving the American sea men and the American merchant
 marine from the sea, enabling the ship owners to employ cheaper-fore- ign labor and make still larger pro- | fits.
 "These men, when they could get | no consideration and arrive at no un- derstanding with either the shipping 1 board or the owners, took this con- | troversy to the President and said | You decide it and we will continue at work upon whatever conditions you fix But the forces, whatever they were, that were determined to
 bring on crucial contest between the 1 men and the ship owners of this country, were too strong to be re- sisted. The lockout was put into ef- feet and we find our sea labor today disorganized, dissatisfied and rebelli- ous. The conditions exist which ev- cry enemy of the American merchant | marine must desire to have exist"

MILITIA GUARDS
 MILLS IN VERMONT AGAINST STRIKERS
Workers Peacefully Amuse Them selves By Watching Soldiers
 at Drill.

Bellows Falls, Vt., Aug. 5-The arri- val of two militia companies and the bringing i'll of Is Workrnen for the Champain Realty Company, subsidiary ot the International Paper Company, whose men are on strike, marked devel- opments here.
 Company 1, Brattleboro United of the Vermont Guard, arrived under orders to act as guards and Company A. Rut- land unit, numbering about 50 men, un- der Capt. William J. Kelley, reached town at l p. m.
 Both companies acted as guards tor the Is employees of the Chaplain Realty Company, who arrived from Boston Company l formed an aisle from the train to truck of the Realty Company and Company lined the street leading up from the station. A small number of strikers were present to watch the arrl- r val of the new workmen, but there was no demonstration.
 The new arrivals were obtained through a Boston employment agency according to reports.
 The new men were carried up to the camp on the river bank established by
 the Realty Company, about a mile from
 this town. Co. A is encamped just | about the workmen's camp, and Co. is stationed at the local armory. Work was begun on the handling Monday morning and this is taken to in dicate that more men will be brought l here very soon.

WOULD REDUCE W AGES WITH
 UNTOLD RICHES
War Cost Rich Nothing, but They Still Want More, Says
 Newspaper

Sydney, New South Wales, Aus
 tralia, Aug. 5.-"The agitation for
 reduction of wages in Australia is
 positively wicked" says the Austral- | ian Worker, which declares that the war cost the rich nothing and that they now possess undreamed of wealth.
 There are simpletons," says the Worker, 'who actually believe that every section of the community was
 hurt by the great conflict It is in
 credible to them that in that time of world wide agony men should be fattening on the pain and sorrow of
 the nations, and reaping a hideous
 harvest from the slaughter of the battle fields. Yet 1t is true
 The war did not depress Aus
 tralian industries. Nor did it preju- dicially affect the operations of com
 merCe and finance in this country.
 "On the contrary, it stimulated business rn every sphere. New indus
 tries were established to supply the needs of the combatants. Old ones were suddenly flung into a whirl of accelerated production. Trade imme-
 diately felt the impulse of this indus trial activity. The shops were crowd ed with customers buying at high prices. Trade investors and specula- tors jostled one another in the banks Be it remembered always that the war cost the rich nothing. The government conducted it's military operations on borrowed
 money, for which it paid exorbitant rates of interest. Instead of levying on the wealth-owning class in order to maintain it's armies in the field, the government implored them to lend their credit and taxed the workers to meet the interest bills.
 Thus the rich grew richer than they had ever dreamed of doing and a staggering debt was piled upon the backs of the workers, to be borne by them and their children for genera tions.
 "One would imagine that even Mr. Plue would be content.
 "He is not, however, in the least content. He wants to give his rapac- ity a third arm.
 Wages, he says, must be reduced, And he throws out broad hints that the workers must learn to live on less.
 "He could afford to do it, too."
