Stanton, of Norw After being out on strike for a month the members of the Westerly Painters and Paper Hangers' Union have returned to work and on the terms offered by the contracting painters, when demands were first made. The painters asked for an increase in pay which amounted to $4 a work day of eight kours and this was granted. The painters were undér a three year vears’ agreement as to wages and work_conditions, and in addition they asked for a new bill to be in force for one vear. To this the contractors would not agree and the men refused| to work under the ‘existing agreement, the contractors insisting 'that the present agreément remain in force, while the increase in pay would be al- tlowed as a war bonus. Therefore the .present working conditions are the same as prevailed before the strike was in operation and the object of the strike failed. The matter of wages having been agreed to by the employ- ers, before the ‘workmen took drastic action.

This is not due to the lack of patriotism on the part of the eligi- +le young men, that is those of draft age, for hundreds of Westerly young men are noWw in the service, and the navy has a fair proprirtion of them. Those over 18 and under 21, who de- sirc to enlist are held back in some instances by their parents, as nearly every family has representation in the military service, and there is natural desire to hold these young men at liome until they reach the military age. There is no rabid reason, however, why men above draft age and eligible for military service do not come to the front and center, and offer to share the war burden with those sub- ject to the selective service law; pro- vided they are not indispensable to a business and have no dependents. There are enough of this class in Westerly to make a creditable showing in the navy at the present time. Charles H. Williams, representative from Plainfield in the 1917 session of the Connecticut legislature, now in Italy, under date of April 2, writes to a friend in Westerly as follows: Hope you are well, well ag I am at present. Having a great time since I saw you last. We are here in Italy, and that ig all we are allowed to say for fear that the other fellows may learn something of use to them.

T mean men with broad inds, capable of thinking outside of their own home affairs for the world is progressing, or retrograding at a terrific pace. The old days of insular yolitics is past and we must realize that from now on the United States is a world power, and must be alive to world politics, not just our own af- fairs, but the affairs of all nations.

Americans can hardly grasp the magnitude of the present conflict. We are used to doing things on a big| scale, it is true, but I neved saw, or imagined, any such enormous busi ness as this is; men, men everywhere. It seems that the whole world is in arms, and uniforms. A man of mili- and ' the enormous is as rare as a _man in uniform in ‘America, while the traffic in men and munitions is staggering. The ordinary business of life seems suspended: ev- erything is for or from the military standpoint, and what the end of it all will be is on the “knees of the gods.” Of course we shall win out, but it is going to be no path of roses, and the convalescent period may be worse than the gdisease, unless we have sensible, level headed men in control of all the countries involved.
