Organized Labor’s Position. Orgaifltfed labor is willing to cooperate in the food conservation program of the federal government providing it understands thoroughly what j is desired of it, said Frank T. Hawley, | chairman of the Indiana state labor ! I committee of the federal food administration, in speaking at the conference j today. Mr. Hawley proposes to see to j it that the laboring people are educated , to the full meaning of conservation. “The workers of Indiana an^ of the nation must be convinced that conservation # is economy,’ said Mr. Hawley. “If thfy are fully convinced of this there will be no trouble in persuading them to practice it. Some laboring men have expressed the opinion that their duty is complete when they send their sons or other members of their families to the front. They must be educated to th6 fact that through the act of sending men to the front their duties at home are Increased, for they must sup-

port Zhese men.”

Mr. Hawley urged that the laboring men be called into the councils of the food administration and be placed on an equality with the other administration workers- He explained plans to appoint a member of organized labor as an advisor to -each county food administrator. He also said he is planning to go to each county and talk conservation with the laboring people of that county. Thomas R. Snyder spoke briefly along

the same lines. Work of Bakers.

I The work of the bakers in Indiana umf in the nation was explained in detail by Alexander Taggart, of the Taggart Baking Company. He urged the appointment of a practical baker to have charge of the regulation of the bakeries in each county. C. V. Stainsby, who is in charge of the organization of food clubs throughout the state, explained 'the plans of the state food administration- for reaching every food pledge card signer in Indiana through an organization of clubs. Airs. Irene V. Webb, Indianapolis Food Club president, told of the value "of the food clubs to housewives in the teaching of conservation through demonstrations and the exchange of experi-

cnees

Wheat Distribution. The question of wheat distribution was again taken up and a committee was appointed by Harry E. Barnard, who presided, to report late today on a plan to be presented to the food administrators for state-wide adoption. Members of the ' committee are: Carl Sims, of the milling division of the state food administration; Dr. William Burrows, og Bloomington; Dr. C. D. Royse. of Rockville; A. H._ Leiter, of Connersvllle, and Stanley Wyckoff, of Indianapolis. The afternoon program, which ended the two-day conference, included a talk by Harry Miesse. secretary of the Indianapolis Patriotic Gardeners’ Association: a discussion of the correlation of. food control work in counties, a talk on “The Law and the Violator” by Mr. Barnard and a talk on organization by Don Herold, state organizer. Cause of Wheat Shortage. Mr. Hallowell made an address at the conference, yesterday afternoon, in which he said that one reason for the wheat shortage was that 50,000,000 men have been taken from the ordinary pursuits of life for work in connection with the war in some capacity. Another reason, he said, was that the U-boats have caused heavy destruction. Miss Eleanor Barker, of the food administration’s speakers’ bureau, denounced the food hoarded and pointed out the duty of every one to make sacrifices in order that the food might be supplied to the armies and the allies. Mrs. G. C. Henderson, of the fourteenminute women’s organizations, also

spoke.

Governor Goodrich made a short address of welcome to those attending the conference, and Michael E. Foley, chairman of the state council of defense, urged all the people to give their full support to the President and to the Governor in all the war activities. Telegram From Hoover. The following telegram was received by H. E. Barnard, federal food administratoi#for Indiana, from Herbert C. Hoover, and it was read to the confer-

ence:

“Please express to the members of your organization how important we consider their function. Without thorough state organization it would be impossible for the food administration in Washington to reach the people with its messages. Impress upon them the importance and responsibility of this district war service undertaken by each individual. Their faithful devotion to the cause can not fail to make itself felt and is a Mirect contribution to the liberty of the world.” The program for today's sessions included a general discussion of subjects relating to the administration of the food regulations and consideration of local problems from the various counties. Gi/est at Dairy Lunch Banquet. Mr. Hallowell was the guest of honor at a dinner last night at Kiser’s “one-arm” lunchroom, in Washington street. Simon Kiser, proprietor of the restaurant, was the host, and the guests included Mr. Hallowell, H. E. Barnard, Stanley Wyckoff, George W. June, Raymond Kiser, C. V. Stainsby and Carl Sims. Customers of the' restaurant witnessed the unusual sight of a banquet served in dairy lunch style in a onearm place to a party of "food sharks.” But the menu was complete, and Mr. Hallowell and others complimented Mr. Kiser on the spread. It was purely a Hooverized menu, with no wheat products served.

We are getting oversubscribed.” Hamilton county women raised $103,000 the first day. According to the plan of Mrs. Fred McCulloch, state chairman, that the women raise orie-fourth of the state's quota, this county is nearly up to the mark, as the entire quota for the county is $520,000.

factured goods, and to cut off grand manufacturing centers from their supplies of electricity, coal ^nd food.” Preparation Is Thorough. The circular closes by saying: “Special agents put at your disposition will'furnish you with the necessary materials for provoking explosions and fires, also a list of persons in the country under yorir surveillance who will act as destructive agents.” A little later, on November 2$, the general staff of the German marine also took a hanj by issuing orders to all maritime agents to “mobilize ill the agents of surveillance and agents of destruction in the military ports of the allies.” Continuing, the circular reads: “It is indispensable by the intermediary of third pefsonfe having no relations with the official representatives of Germany to recruit progressively agents for the organization of explosions aboard ships en route to enemy countries; for causing delays and confusion in the taking on of cargo and In the departure ana unloading of these ships. To this end we recommend particularly to your attention the stevedores, among whom are many anarchists and escaped criminals.” On January 15, 1915, the German Imperial staff sent the following order to Its military agents in the United States; “We call your attention to the possibility of recruiting destruction agents from among the anarchistic labor organizations.” Third Hun Preparation. From this point on Germany may be said to have begun a third “preparation”—that of “defeatism.” Her military preparation having failed to wip the war and then hqr sabotage preparation, Germany began A new effort for the overthrow of the various governments in the war against her. This is defined in a circular issued by the press director of the German foreign office,on February 23, 1915, and which was sent to all the German ambassadors, ministers and consuls. It reads: “There have been established within

It reads as follows: “Twenty-four hours after the receipt of this circular, telegraph orders to the proprietors of all Industrial enterprises to open the sealed envelopes containing the drawings and plans of mobilization indicated in the circular of the commission of Count Woldersee and Count Caprivi of June 27, 1887.” Resort to Frightfulnesa. From the very moment it became apparent that Germany could not win the war by the sheer brute force of her military supremacy tljere began a second “preparation” to win, if possible, by the other German means ol sabotage, revolution, terrorism and corruption. On November 2; 1914, the German general staff began this new “preparation” by sending a circular to ail of Its military agents on the frontiers of Russia, France, Italy and Norway, advising them that “in all the branches of German banks ip Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and the* United States, special military credits have been opened, destined for the accessory needs of the war. “The German general staff authorizes you to have recourse in unlimited proportion for the purpose of destroying buildings, factories, supply houses and the provisions of the more important kind, both of a military and civil nature, belonging to the enemy,” the circular said. “While trying to bring about strikes, it is necessary to take steps for the sabotage of motors and machinery, for the destruction of vessels transporting war material to the enemy’s country, to burn the reserve stocks of primary materials and mgnu-

territory of the country where you are, ■pedal bureaus for the organisation of propaganda in countries that ara in the war organization against Germany. The propaganda will have for its object to propagate social upheavals, accompanied by strikes, ^revolutionary explosions. separation movements and civil war as well as an agitation in favdr of disarmament and the cessatlon'of the present bloody war.” Numerous other documents showing the participation of German “big bus,- ‘ ness” in the “preparation of defeatism” that has had such a terrible result in Russia, likewise are on file. They include a copy of Kameradk Scheidemann’s letter of Aubust 25, 1917, attacking Gorky and announdng the remittance in Russia of 150,000 marks. SUM other documents show the remittance of large sums, even to' Trotzky and Lenine. This brings Germany’s three' great “preparatlona”—that of her military campaign, of her campaign of sabotage and of her campaign of social upheavel, revolution and civil war—up to date.
