Two weeks ago striking carpenters in Eastern shipyards were recalled to their tasks only by a
direct message from the White House, in which the President concluded his remarks by asking them,
"will you co-operate or will you obstruct?" .
For the benefit of our readers who may have been led to wonder whether labor really intends to
co-operate or obstruct, we have asked the editors of many journals representing organized labor
whether in their opinion disaffected labor in war industries should accept Government arbitration
instead of striking.
The replies -are published in this week's issue of THE LITERARY DIGEST March 2d. While
the minority which speaks for socialists and "working class" radicals insists that labor in the words
of the Wheeling Majority, "should never in war or peace give up its right to strike," other labor editors
reflect a different opinion. For instance, the Labor World (Duluth) says that "No American work
ingmen who have any regard for their country and the great principles of human liberty and democracy which are
at stake in this war. will do one act that will delay for a single moment the building of a ship or the production of
an article needed to feed, clothe, or equip our boys in France or in 'training at home."
Get TIIE LITERARY DIGEST this week if you would obtain a clear insight into the attitude of American labor
toward the war. Other articles of great interest in this number are :

To Prevent Your Missing "The Digest" Each W eek
There is such an immense national demand for THE
LITERARY DIGEST each week that newsdealers sell
out their supplies within a few hours after THE DIGEST
is placed on sale.
So that purchasers may be sure of getting their mag
azine weekly, we would suggest that when they buy
this week's DIGEST they instruct their newsdealers to
reserve a copy of next week's issue for them ; when they
buy their DIGESTS next week order copies for the fol
lowing week, and so on. In this way, the newsdealers
will be guided as to the number of copies to order in
advance and our patrons will not be forced to go without
THE DIGEST because of all copies being sold out when
they reach the news stand.

William Dolfen. whose true name is
Silvio Bortola Dat Bon, was Indicted by
the Federal grand Jury yesterday on a
charge of perjury alleged to have been
crmmltted last October, when ha was
formally examined by Immigration In
spector Bonham as to his entry Into
the United States and his right to re
main here. Included In the indictment
are portions of the testimony given at
the same hearing, which confirm the
srspiclons of United States Attorney
Rankin that Dolfen, prior to his arrest
last September, had for some time been
In the employ of the German govern
mnt as a spy In this country.
Dolfen was taken from a troop train
at Pendleton last September and placed
under arrest on suspicion that he was
spy. At the time he was an enlisted
man In the Third Oregon and serving
as company cook. After being held in
Jail for some time. Dolfen' examina
tion was held before the Immigration
Inspector, when he gave the false tes
tlmony concerning himself which re
suited In yesterday's indictment. In
the meantime United States Attorney
Rankin obtained proof that Dolfen Is
nctlve of Italy and not a German, as he
had represented himself to be.
War laforaatloa Sought.
At the hearing before Inspector Bon
ham, Dan O'Mara, a new dealer, testi
fied that In 1916 he became acquainted
with Dolfen, who had represented to
him that he bad com to thla country
on th German steamer Bremen, land
ing at New York. O'Mara further re
lated that Dolfen and he became warm
friends, Dolfen frequently entertaining
h;m at dinner.
A th friendship progressed the wit
ness testified that Dolfen confided in
him that ha was in the pay of th
German Consul at Portland, and received
pay every week, for giving to th Con
sul Information that would be of value
to the German, government should th
Uiited States enter th war. On these
occasion O'Mara said Dolfen cau
tioned him not to tell any other person
of what Dolfen had told him.
During th trouble In Mexico, Dolfen
went with a company of United States
soldiers, a cook, and, upon his return,
according to O'Mara, .said, b had ob-i
tained "all he wanted." including "blue
prints of Fort Rosencrans, the range
of all the guns and their positions."
Suspect Flunk With Money.
"On the day following his return
from Mexico, Dolfen told me that he
was going to see the German Consul,"
testified O'Mara. "The following day
I saw him and he flashed between J 200
and J250 in gold. Then next day I saw
him again with the Consul and two
other Germans. All this happened in
1916. At all times Dolfen seemed flush
with money, which he spent lavishly in
the grills and roadhouses.
The United States Attorney's office
has positive proof of the fact that Dol-
fen's true name is Dal Bon, a native
of Fetta, Italy, and that he came to
the United States in March, 1911, on the
steamship Dura di Genova, The immi
gration records reveal that at that time
Dolfen admitted his Italian nativity.
In addition to this proof, two cousins
of the Indicted man have told Mr. Ran
kin that they knew their kinsman when
he was living In Italy.
United States Attorney Rankin is
strongly of the belief that Dal Bon
after coming to the United States in
1911 was for some time in the paid.
employ of the German consular service
and adopted the alias of Dolfen during
his operations.- Kfforts to establish his
guilt of violating the espionage act
have not been abandoned by the Gov
ernment officials. In the meantime, he
will be prosecuted on the perjury in
dictment.

SNAP BEAMS.
USH and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable
crops of the garden. "When in doubt
what to plant plant beans."
Beans thrive best in a rather warm,
sandy loam, but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best re
sults the soil should not be too rich In
'nitrogenous matter or the plants will
un to foliage and stems at the expense
of the crop. Beans will not withstand
frost and the first plantings in the
Spring should not be made until about
two weeks after the average date of
the last killing frost. The soil should
be In good condition and the rows
should be laid out perfectly straight,
so as to make cultivation easy. One
pint of the seed of most varieties of
snap beanB is sufficient for a 100-foot
row. When the cultivation Is to be
done by horse, the rows should be from
SO to 16 inohes apart.' When hand cut3
Tlvatlon Is to be employed the rows
should ba from IS to 21 Inches apart.
It requires from 40 to 60 days for snap
beans to ba ready for use If the weather
conditions are favorable.
Successive plantings of string beans
should be made at intervals of 10 days
to two week throughout th growing
season, By following this scheme a
constant supply of tender beans will
be assured. U, 8. Department of Agri
