French, for France owes real debt OF

The Technical Emergency Corps in pro-
Tossing to be non-political organization
does not intend to replace strikers per-
manently. In fact the professions Of its
members prohibit it, They simply pro-
pose to keep works going during a strike
or to save property from destruction
which the public is dependent on.
The corps numbers a quarter Of a mill
ion members in Germany. OF these ap-
proximately 10 per cent. live In Berlin.
About tenth Of the members are women,
of whom $500 live in the capital. The
men are all trained in one technical line
or another. They belong to all social
classes, professions and trades. Among
them are high civil clerks chief execu-
tives of great industrial organizations,
engineers, physicians, students of schools
of engineering, skilled laborers, farmers,
&C. There are also many who work in
entirely different professions but have
at one time had technical or agricultural
training.
During their active emergency vice
the members of the corps receive leave
OF absence from their ordinary employers.
AS the latter, however, are not Obliged to
pay them for the time of their absence
they are compensated during that period
out of the funds of the organization. Only
part of the women members have had

engine stood in the roundhouse
of the Lehrter Station in Berlin.
1t had been left there by the strikers and
the water in its boiler had frozen in the
bitter cold An elderly man walked into
the roundhouse, took off his fur coat,
donned pair of overalls and set to work
1t took him several hours to thaw the
boiler out, but finally he sat at the throttle
and drove the locomotive into the station.
He was a wealthy industrialist who
many years ago had started as an en-
girfeer. The fireman who kept shoveling
coal with a zeal doubly strange at the
time of strike, was a high school boy,
a volunteer But before the engine started
on its journey a man of about 60 ap-
Feared on the platform. He walked up to
the engine and with a polite bow intro
duced himself as Privy Councillor so-and-
so, who had orders from the Technical
Emergency Corps to drive the engine on
it's trip. The Herr Geheimrat had once
testing locomotives, and had now left his
desk at one Of the Government depart
ments, donned blue jenkins and gone out
to pilot food into the German capital
This incident is illustrative and char
acteristic of the Technical Emergency
Corps. 1t is an institution which repre-
that strikes are fact and have to be
dealt with. 1t is the protection of the
innocent bystander, the public, during
strike; an effort to keep strikes what they
ought to be, struggle between employer
and employed. The Emergency Corps,
known as "Technische Nothilfe," follows
the aim Of uniting representatives Of all
classes in the prevention of damage to
the community which may arise from
labor disputes.
The corps is not a strike breaking or
ganization; over and over again its
leaders keep repeating this affirmation.
The unions are formally hostile to It, but
this hostility is theoretical, since the Ger
man unions themselves teach that the
public must be protected, and that emer-
gency relief should be undertaken by
picked men from union ranks. Had the
unions practiced what they preached sthe
emergency corps might never have come
into existence.
Even while the unions denounce the
corps publicly they have been known to
advise their members to volunteer at the
corps headquarters during the strike It
was so during Nhe recent railway strike.
That was a wild" strike, undertaken
without the sanction of union executives,
and the labor leaders did not hesitate to
utilize the corps to weaken their disobe-
dent members.
Yet IL would be too much to say that
the Emergency Corps had kept its hands
clean Of partisanship. Perhaps no or
ganization OF its kind volunteering for
service In an hour Of passionate anger
and OF personal peril, and in a country
OF exceptionally bitter factionalism, could
maintain real neutrality On the whole
the spirit of the organization is conserva-
tive and hostile to labor. Its future would
seem to depend on the insight of the
members and their success in regarding
themselves not as political agents in a
crisis. but as impartial public servants

City magistrates then declared that unless

garbage removed within twenty-four
hours the Technical Emergency Corps will
be called out.
The idea of the Technical Emergency
Corps originated with Herr Otto Lum-
mitzsch, who is still its head. 1t was
founded during the Spartacist fights in
1919, and is national organization. The
headquarters are at Steglitz, one of the
suburbs of Berlin, and it is divided into
sixteen so-called national districts in con-
formity with the different parts Of German
territory. The national districts, in turn
are split up into sub-districts, these again

spectively, according to whether they con-

The Technical Emergency Corps re-
stored the water supply In part on the
second and fully on the fourth day of the
strike. Some of the electric plants Of
the city likewise were put back to work by
the corps and finally an emergency rail-
way service was instituted. Thus at
least the food supply of the capital could
be assured When the strikers returned
to their jobs they found most of the boilers
at the gas works in operation and the
supply of the city with gas, electricity,
water and food already reestablished to a
great extent.
Many and widely different are the
branches of public life which have en-
joyed the corps help. Here are some of
the different fields in which it has actively
served the community: Mining industry,
breweries, railways. electric works grave
digging and other work in cemeteries,
gas works, hospitals, farms, harbor work,
food transport, shipping. slaughter
houses. water works and sugar factories.

catastrophe. During the first

water supply was completely

was exhausted and the Gov

lay hands on to keep at least
some of the hospitals heated.
There was no gas for cooking
and lighting and no supply
of electricity. The elevateds
and subways came to a stand

adults died at the hospitals
because the lack of water and
proper lighting rendered the
most urgent operations i'm
possible. And as fate would

Splendid program of Entertainment
Provided This Year

The citizens of Newport and vici-
nifty are soon to have the opportunity
of enjoying another of those delight
full and inspiring six day programs of
entertainment through the Redpath
Chautauqua system.
Year after year the coming of this
well-balanced program of entertain
ments is marked with greater success,
and the return of the Redpath this
year will insure their patrons solid
week of good, clean, educational and
wholesome entertainment in which
some of Americas greatest thinkers
are brought to>Newport's platform
In addition there will be the in
spiration afforded by good music, the
cultural influences of good literature
presented in both dramatic and lee
ture form and an abundance of
wholesome entertainment. This pro-
gram is made possible because fifty
or more of our fellow-citizens have
taken it upon themselves to act as
guarantors, believing that by the
cess of the past two years liberal
patronage will follow this year. A
meeting of the Newport guarantors
will be called in the near future, of.
ficers elected and plans and methods
adopted for the disposal of the ESQ
season tickets.
The dates of the Newport Chautau-
qua are Aug. Fl to 26, opening on
