ORGANIZERS SPEAK AT WINCHESTER’S Claim New York Plant Has Asked Machinsts’ Union to F ish 1,500 Men. New Haven, Dec. 6.—No change in the strike of several hundred skilled and unskilled employes of the Win- chester Repeating Arms company was apparent today. The strike leaders made no claims of accessions and at the factory there was no evidence of trouble. During the noon hour the workmen who gathered outside the several gates were addressed by labor union organizers. In some of these addresses the men were asked to put aside indifference to the eight hour day issue and to aid in the general movement. They were told that the machinists’ union is able to place in positions which require only an eight hour day, every tool maker and ma- chinist who wished to strike, and that one plant alone in New York state has requested the machinists’ union to furnish it with 1,500 men. Charles Nicholson of Salt Lake City, a member of the general execu- tive board who attended the confer- ence in Bridgeport yesterday, was among the noon day speakers. Rob- ert Fechtner of Atlanta, another mein- ber, will come here tomorrow. It was stated by labor union of- ficers that a conference on the situa- tion at the Union Cartridge company is being held in Bridgeport today. EUROPE’S WAR LORDS.

The terms have become very common and are used in every | day speech. These phrases are live topics show the bitterness with war is being waged. A little book has and Nearly all are autocratic individuals 'and the people of this country do not know the depth of the meaning of that for they cannot understand how one man can hold such power. No people on earth were so happy and in- dustrious as the Germans before the war. Now this autocracy has rlunged the country into the depths misery, he said. i filled with the ‘autocracies of these | war lords. This power is too great for one man and only God Almighty should presume such authority. Men of tremendous power have brought the name ‘‘war-lords” on themselves.
