T.R. DENOUNCES
MEN WHO SLACK
IN SHIPYARDS
Individual Loafers and Others
Who Retard Production
Called Traitors. by
the Colonel;
SSBBBSBSWSBasasasj '
Newburgh, N. Sept. 2. Slackers
in American shipyards who loaf in
dividually and-unions of shipbuilders!
which limif the output of ships were
denounced by Theodore Roosevelt
today as traitor to the country.
Colonel Roosevelt delivered an ad
dress on the occasic j of the launching
from the Newbtirgh shipyards of the
first of ten vessels, each of 9,000 tons
, dead weight, which are to be built
here for the United States shipping
board.
Colonel Roosevelt expressly ' ex
empted the employes of the local
yard from his denunciation by saying
that he understood that a warm spirit
of helpfulness and co-operation has
been developed here. Emphasizing the
patriotic service rendered by ship
builders, the colonel said:
A slacker in our shipyards is as
shameful a creature as a coward tn
the army in France, and a good work
cr in the shipyards stands honorably
forward like a good soldier in the
armv. I have come here to New
burgh Jargely becai.Se my inquiries
have convinced me that here there
has been no organized limitations of
, output and practically no loafing.
am convinced that, generally speak
inc. there ii a fine soirit of oatrio
tism in shipbuilding labor in all parts
of the country.
Would Send Slacken Over?
"Yet it has been alleged to me
I that in certain yards men have loafed
individually and that in certain yards
unions have actually limited the out
put so as to limit the number of rivets
t J - . . - t l

oer ot days tnai iney.worx, or in

' other, ways to prevent the develop
ment of our full strength and our ut
, most speed. Such men are traitors to
1 the country.
."If -1 , had my way I would
take any - such man and any
nun who aided or abetted him, put
him in the army at once and send
him across the water to do the hard
est work in the most dangerous po
' sition:- and I would not give him a
nf nstrintism Anv man who lav off
bow or scamps his job is a 'traitor
to his fellow Americans in France, a
traitor to the men who need all the
help we can give them. On the
other hand you, who I am convinced
represent the enormous majority of
the shipyards workers, you who are
doing your .utmost night and day,
week in and week out, stand on the
honor roll of American citizenship as
second only to our troops in France,
and 1 honor you. 1 am proud beyond
' measure that 1 am your fellow coun
tryman, ,
' Limited Output a Crime,
f The, army we have in France has
beer, put there only because the tint
fsh furnished us 60 per cent of the
tonnage needed to ferry them across.
1'rcm now on American shipbuilders
must bear this burden. , Therefore
any limitation of output in our ship
yards is a crime against the country.
Any union rule or workmen's agree
ment to limit the output in shipyards
should be treated as criminal at this
time. Pershing's men are not limit
ing their output. Shame and disgrace
should be the portion of any man who
here at home limits the output nec
essary to make the blood and labor
of our soldiers at the front of avail
"It Is the patriotic duty of men in
the less-essential industries to leave
those industries and to come, to .the
shipyards and to place their technical
skill at the servUe of their country
in the way which will best help to win
the -war. Shipbuilding is the neck
of our industrial bottle so far as this
war is concerned. Let every man
Jit to work in a shipyard go to the
shipyard nearest to bim to help out
in our great need for skilled labor."
Colonel Roosevelt declared that no
nrnfitirlnr uha4vr ahMils! h a.
lowed out of war industry.- In asking
labor to do its utmost, capital should
be held by the government to the
.same standard.

War Spirit of Workers
Is Praised by Speakers at '
Krug Park Celebration
Omaha labor is out to win the war.
"Win the War for Freedom," was
the slogan of the great Labor day
outing' and celebration at Krug park
Monday afternoon.
"American labor has but one object
now, and that is to win the war,"
said T. P. Reynolds, president ol the
Nebraska Federation of Labor and
chairman of the Central Labor union.
"We must win the war by all put
ting our shoulders to the wheel," said
Dr. John A. Khowles, who is leading
the Salvation Army drive in Omaha
for a war fund. -
"Labor's soldiers are the second
line1' of defense," said Miss Joy Hig
gins, principal speaker of the day. .
And the spirit of "Win the War for,
Freedom," was in the minds and
hearts of- everyone of the 10,000 or
more members of Omaha labor
uni6ns, who, with their wives and
children, spent the afternoon and eve
ning at Krug park.
War Spirit Underneath.
On the surface Monday's Labor day
celebration had all the air of previous
Labor day celebrations. But under
neath all. the lighthartednessi and
general appearance of prosperity of
the American workingman, could be
discerned the settled determination
of the sturdy artisan of the United
States, who has indeed "put his
shoulder to the wheel" to ' win the
war for freedom."
"The -Effect of the Attitude of
American Labor Upon the Attitude of
the English Labor Party," was the
subject of Miss Joy Higgins address.
She spoke of the mission to England
of Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
the consequent feeling of fraternity in
working for a common end which
would unite British and American la
bor. "Mr. Arthur Henderson, leading
cabinet representative of the British
labor party," she said, "has given us
a Labor day message which indicates
clearly that the British Labor party

America for the next generation. He
said he believed the post-bellum con
ditions will ' be far different from
those of pre-war times.
"Win the War" Slogan.
New York. Sept 2. Labor's
army, nearly 150,000 strong! tramped
the streets of New York today with a
slogan that was echoed by the thou-
sands of spectators "win the war
for freedom." The largest of three
parades in the greater ci$y .was in
Manhattan, awhere 75,000 union men
and women passed in review before
William B. Wilson, secretary of the
Department of Labor; Governor
Whitman, Mayor Hylan and other
officials. ' .
United States, soldiers and Sailors
stationed in this .Vicinity acted as- an-
escort for ttie marchers, while army
aviators hovered over the procession
and dropped "win the v&r"-leaflets
from the clouds. '

'intellectuals' like the editors of the
'New Republic' and similar magazines.
For the American and the allied
workingmen must keep right at the
task of defeating Germany -and nbt
be diverted by keeping his 1 eyes
fastened on Stockholm or Geneva.
"It was fortunate for American la
bor that saner and wiser people than
the 'intellectuals' were in control ft
the recent convention at Minneapolis
of the American Federation of Labor.
The 'intellectuals' have their eyes far
in the future looking toward the ful
fillment of their program of interna
tionalism. But this program, can only
be worked out if Germany is defeated
and the road to a permanent peace is
clear. 'If Germany wins there will be
no room for internationalism. It will
fall with the rest of civilization.
"In Mr. Gompers labor has a won
derful leader. He is the man of the
hour, the right hand man of the presi
dent. Labor can do no better than to
keep in line behind him to win the
war by forming a vitally important
line behind the men in khaki."
Miss Higgins was one of a party
which formed the first labor delegates
to represent this country abroad. The
party visited England and France last
March as guests of the British gov
ernment. Mayor Smith was unable to attend
the celebration because of his absence
in Norfolk to attend the funeral of
his brother.
An extensive program of athletic
events was staged in the afternoon
before the speaking began at 6:30.
Provision was made for 30,000
marchers.
The afternoon's program included
speeches at the Civic auditorium,
with W. B. Rubin of Milwaukee,
Wis., as the orator of the day. Simi
lar parades were held in most of the
larger Racine coast cities.
Chicago's Big Parade.
. Chicago, Sept 2. The largest pa

Sept. 2. American troops, fighting
with the British on the rJanders
front, made further progress foday
in the Voormezeele region. The
Americans have passed through Voor
mezeele in an easterly direction, over
coming stiff enemy resistance.
The British attack launched south
of the Scarpe river early this morn
ing had as its jumping off place the
positions close to the German de
fenses reached several days ago. A
furious battle, involving extensive
possibilities is in progress, but up to
this hour reports were lacking at
correspondents' headquarters as to
the result of the attack.
Bullecourt, Hendacourt and the
surrounding territory were in British
hands at the time the advance be
gan. The Germans are known to
have brought up reinforcements here
and it is reported that all five of the
heavily wired trench lines of the
enemy defense system are strongly
garrisoned.
A break through this line here will
take the British into the open country
and menace the Hindenburg line
from the rear and the flank.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keen your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
.Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scab, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most exoensive soar
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wat
er and rub it in. One or two teasooon-
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly; The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries auicklv
ana evenly, ana it leaves it fine and
.... w.
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man

You can get mulsified cocoanut oi
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
