UNCLE TED'S BED TIME STORIES
(Continued from Page 3.)
"Of course. Jack,' began his uncle,
as he drew up a chair, "Hermann
should not talk that way. no matter
how much of what he says may be
true. He and his father are making
their living In this country and they
should forget Germany and be loyal
Americans. But It so happens again,
that some of what he says Is true. I
will explain the matter as best I can.
For a long time the various labor
unions in this country have been go
ing on strike. That Is, if they want
more money, or shorter working hours
or both, and their employers feel that
what they are getting Is enough, they
quit work. We have had strikes in
this country for years and years but
as a rule they have been conducted
quietly and after a time the troubles
were settled and the men went back
to work as. before. But during the
past year, especially since the end of
the war, the various unions have been
striking and some of their members
who act like the bolsheviks of Russia
or the "Reds," as they are sometimes
called, have used bombs to blow up
houses; have fought on the streets
and destroyed property In general.
-They are not all that way but many
of them go so far as to threaten to de
stroy our government. Right now
there are some 300 strikes going on
in the United States. A great many
of the men who work in the steel
mills are striking and rioting. Troops
had to be called out in Gary, Indiana,
a big steel town, to protect property
and the lives of the people. The sol
diers found many of these "Reds"
there who were trying to overthrow
the government. The men who work
on the piers in New York city where
the ships are unloaded and loaded are
on strike. ' That means tying up the
food that is coming and going. And
so it Is the country over. The labor
ing men are getting bigger wages and
shorter hours than ever before, yet
they want more and more money and
want to work less and less hours."
"What happens to the things these
men make or do when they are
striking?" asked Ruth who had just
returned from play.
"That is the worst part of it Ruth,"
answered her uncle. "While all of
these men are away from their work
-causing trouble they are not produc
ing. They go on eating and living but
they are not giving anything to their
country in return. Now right here is
where the thingB Hermann said come
in. Men who know more about the
condition of things in Europe and
especially in Germany than myself,
say that within ten years Germany
will be on the same business basis
ahe was before the war. That means
.she is working very hard because the
country was torn to pieces after the
years of fightlnfe. She has great
quantities of manufactured goodB
stored away and the plants where
Just as soon as peace earned All of
the German workers, the laborers anl
mechanics are, without being told,
working at least ten hours every day
when most of ours, are not working
more than eight hours and many of
them less. Our men are striking for
'shorter hours and more money right
at a time when the only thing that will
save this country Is for everybody to
forget their selfish interests and
work hard and produce In largo
quantities."
"But Uncle Ted, what has Ger
many got to do with us even If he
'is working harder?" asked Jack.
"Just this. The Germany money it
wo low that It is to the advantage ct
other countries to buy the Inaterlal
nhe has ready for the market If she
has goods ready because she Is work
ing night and day with all her energy
then she can sell to the world while
we are not only going to sleep but
having a labor war light In our own
country. You see that Is what Ger-
many is doing, while in' this country
the chief labor leader says, 'I will
tie up every industry in the United
States by ordering all workmen who
belong to the unions to quit unless
you give us what we want' To sur
render to them would mean that
about 3.000,000 people in the United
States would tell nearly 100.000,009
people what they would or would not
do. The gr$at lesson to all of this
is that neither congress in Washing
ton nor the state law making bodies
can, solve the situation. The real,
true Americans, men who think and
act like the great Lincoln, must meet
the situation and get rid of the bad
; foreign group of men and women who
at present seem to have control of
labor. When we saw we had to go
to war with Germany practically ev
ry man, woman and child was loyaL
jThe men went to fight the money
was given for guns, bullets and shells,
and we beat Germany. The same
danger from Germany is with ns
again. Only this time is is- simply
ot another kind. We must meet it
-with the same spirit or we are lost
as a country. It is not money, not
lives this time but work that will
count"
"Well, I guess we will show Her
mann a few things," said Jack, "We
just must work and produce and I for
one will help by telling everybody I
can."
