WORKMEN HOLDING | UP WAR MUMITIONS Glasgow Herald Submits Report on Probe of Situation * (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Glasgow, May 31.—Charges that the supply of war munitions is being held up by the attitude of workmen in the industrial districts are supported by the Glasgow Herald, which has made an extensive investigation of the situation in the Glasgow district. The newspaper’s investigators re- port that in their opinion the whole issue of the war is being jeopardized by industrial ineficiency and by ma- nipulation of ' werk by dissatisfied workmen. The following example is given: Drag Out Operation. ““One of the practices of piece workers is to drag out an operation for which they are getting what they think is too low a price until it takes twice or thrice as long as necessary. They.ask for a higher price on the strength of this, and when they have got the price up to- the point they consider sufficient thdy turn to and get the work done in a fraction of ‘the previous time'in order to earn the money. ‘“‘Such proceedings in ordinary times are part of the standing struggle be- tween employers and employed. But in war time the result is more ser- ious and develops into disloyalty to the state and danger of the com- munity, “Nor i{s that all. These men not only will not work themselves but they will not allow others to work. The restrictions with regard to un- skilled labor are mdintained in some of the shops with unabdted rigidity, and the effect is 'most serlously feit in the ammunition factories where the need of increased output is most ur- gent.” Men Forbidden to Work. In certain shops, it is alleged, row after row of machines may be seen idle, with men idle beside thém, will- ing to werk, but forbiddén by the shop rules of the Engineering unions. The Herald calls for the establish- ment of military discipline in all es. tablishments engaged on war mater- ial, and it suggests that the necessary authority to handle 'the situation might with prapriety be put into the hands of the local armaments commit- tees, which have been established by public spirited citizens in most of the industrial districts in an effort to accelerate the work of providing sup- { plies for the front. Constructive Scheme Drawn Up. A constructive scheme which has been drawn up ‘in Glasgow for the elimination of the present difficulties makes the following proposals: “Rates, of wages and standards .of remuneration to remain ‘as they are at present, and no changes to be per- mitted until further notice. “The functions of trades unions in regard to the enforcement of trade rights to be suspended during the war. “Local armaments committees , to act in each district as courts of ap- peal by ‘workmen against hardships caused by empioyers. “No association of employers to act in any way with regard to labor eon- ditions. ] Effective Labor Representation. “Local armaments committees to have effective labor representation, with full power to fine emplovers, to safeguard skilled trades rights, to reg. ulate the use of unskilled labor, and to ‘séttle the conditions of remunera- tion, “The central committee and the lo- cal committees to be formally consti- tuted as business organizations with full powers under the defense of the realm act to organize industrial and labor resources.” i P LETTER DIARY FOUND. Queenstown, May 29.—Watersoaked and partly illegible, the unfinished and unsigned letter diary of a girl passen- ger on the Lusitania was picked up a few days ago near the scene of the cisaster, and is awaiting a claimant here.

(Correspondence of the Associatéd Press.) London, June 4.—The reason why the workers who remain at their places in British industries are asking for war bonuses is explained by Sec- Tetary Robert Williamg of the Na- ticnal Transport Workers' Federation, | who says that while the real need of | the workers is to meet the increased cost of living, the employers are reap- | ing exceptionally large profits, instead | of suffering from the wa:. Although 12,000 members of the Seamen's Union have gone to the war, the mer- chant ship owners aré operating to | snch advéintage that they charge six | {imes the normal sums for carrying freight. While 750,000 trade unionists altogether are bearing arins in Brit- ein's defense, the millers bave in- creased their profits four-fold. In his case against the ship owners, Williams points out that they now have no serious. competitors in the carrying trade of the world, and that a8 a result of the elimination of Ger- nian ships, the freight rates betweén Argentine and British ports had | jumped from $2 and a fraction a ton to around $17. Another instance of profit to ship owners was that a cer- tain cargo steamer built in 1910 at a cost of $85,000 was recently sold for 2 hundred and fifty thousand dollars, an increase of séventV-six per cent. over the original price. While the ship owners complain of unfair treatment by the admiralty, which has taken over many merchant ships as transports, tne arbitration buard which has settled disputes in these matters consists almost entirely of ship owners. At the time the board was appointed shipping prospects looked exceedingly dull and the cwners clamored for government ser- vice. A rental of nine =nillings six pence per ton gross register was de- cided upon, with a discount of six pence a ton for vessels employed for more than one month, and another six pence off for veesels employed more than two monthy. Since then ! the ship owners have demanded not only the shilling reduction be re- moved but that they be given an in- crease of two shillings six pence over the contract scale——or instead of losing .25 they have asked for an in- crease of .60. MRS, CLARK MURDER VICTIM. Bridgeport, June 4.—In the belief that the victim of the murder mys- tery unearthed -by thé discovery of a woman’s torso in Yellow Mill Pond here last week, may have been Mrs. Harry Clark, of Bridgeport and Wil- limantic, widow of a spring maker, the state and local police are seeking evidence of her last known where- abouts. Relatives yvestrday commun- icatd their suspicions that Mrs. Clark may have been murdered as a result of her infatuation with a boatman. STAMFORD DOCTOR MISSING. Stamford, June 4.—Dr. Edward E.

June 4.— Jané Addams, of Chicago, accom- panied by several of the women dele- gates to the recent international con- gress at The Hague, has been pre- sented at Berné to M. Motta, presi- dent of Switzerland, by P. A. Stovall, the American minister. Miss Addams spoke of the position of neutral nations toward the war, and of the attitude of Switzerland to- ward the efforts of securing a quick ' and durable peace. President Motta replied he did not think the moment ' for this was opportune but that Switzerland was ready to ald neutral states in any peace steps when the | right time arrived.

This is one of the most famous bankruptey cases in Connecticut, being in both state and federal courts. is receiver under state court appoint- ment. Lawyers said today the matter was | likely to go to the United States su- preme court in the end. MODEL TRENCHES IN BERLIN, Berlin, May 28.—One of the popu- jar exhibition attractions now open to the public in Berlin 1s a series of rnodel trenches, which have been constructed on the edge of the Grune- wald Forest, in the outskirts of the city. They extend over a front of 800 feet, and are an exact reproduction in every detall of trenches on the western iront. A small admission fee is charged and the proceeds devoted to war charities. Mr. Gilfoil was ordered to ' Mr. Gilfoil | The Taxation Commission. (Bridgeport Post.) Governor Holcomb has named the commigsioner to investigate into the | taxation question in accordance with thé resolution passed by the last Gen- eral Assembly. His selections are former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, Guy P, Miller of this city and Frank H. Stadtmueller of West Hartford, e wish the governor had wse- i lected differently, so far as the head of the commission is concerned. With l former Governor Baldwin as the chairman, the commission takes on an I'oxtremely reatiohary aspect right off. ; One has but to recall that during his ! four years in office Judge Baldwin | could recommend nothing better than | the unfair State tax as a means to | raise revénue for the extravagances ; he allowed in political directions, to understand tho position h’o is likely l to take. With all the tax inequalities exist- { ing, with that gquestion the issue of | the times, with -a splendid report at i hand from a commission headed by + Judge John J. Walsh, Governor Bald- | win could not say a word that would | relleve the small tax-payer. On the contrary, he would pile on double burdens, first by allowing enormous expenditures for highways because one class wanted them, and, second by advising a great State tax to pay the bills. ! In selecting Mr. Miller as the rep- resentative of the manufacturing in | terests the governor could mot have ! done better, because Mr, Miller has given the question of taxation from that point of view a most thorough study. Of Mr. Suatmueller the state knows little, other than that he is clasred as a farmer. He is well spoken of by ‘his neighbors in West Hartford, and he may be acquainted with some | of the problems of taxation. If so he has succeeded in keeping his knowledge well concealed. The thing to be notd in the crea- tion of the commission is that it is dominated by a man who believes that | the rights of public service corpora- tions are superior to those of the people as a whole. Can righteous reform be advised by a mind held in such bourdon bonds? Puny are generally the victims eat enough, but it's the wrong kind of food.
