Washington, May 31.—Railroad em-
ployees were reminded by Director Mc-
Adoo last night that they are employees
of the United States in time of war
and that a strike means a blow at their
government and a hampering of trans-
portation essential to protect hundreds
of thousands of American boys fight-
ing on the battlefields of France.
A few days ago several hundred ma-
chinists and shopmen at Alexandra,
Va., left their' posts in Southern rail-
road shops in protest against small in-
creases given them under the new scale
of higher wages, and there have been
threats of a general walkout of union
shopmen next Monday unless substan-
tial further pay advances are forth-
coming before that time.
In a telegram to the heads of all la-
bor unions having shopmen among
their members, Mr. McAdoo gave no-
tice that the government can not be
coerced or intimidated and called upon
railroad men to remain at their duty
and rely upon him and the new board
of railroad wages and working condi-
tions for just consideration of their
claims. He asked the union leaders to
urge upon their men by wire the wis-
dom and patriotism of this course.
“The strike of certain shopmen, ma-
chinists, etc., in the railroad shops at
Alexander, Va., has created a very
painful impression on the public mind,”
said the director general’s message. “I
can not believe that these men knew
what they were doing. They are all
employees now of the United States
government. They are not employees
of any railroad corporation, therefore
this was a strike against the govern-
ment of the United States.

Houston, May 31.—The United States
food administration has ruled that on
and after June 1, 1918, all eggs must
be candled by the buyer or seller,
whether he be general merchant, egg
dealer or huckster. The purpose of
this ruling is to stop traffic in eggs
which are unfit for human food, to
prevent their entering the channels of
trade, and thereby preventing an enor-
mous wastage.
Careful and conservative estimates
show that for the past five years, dur-
ing the period from June 1st to October
1st, twenty-five per cent (25 per cent)
of all eggs were a total loss and forty
per cent (40 per cent) materially de-
preciated in food value. In order to
save as much as possible of this food
during the great emergency the poul-
try and egg section of the federal food
administration recommends:
1. Compliance with all municipal,
state and federal regulations as to
candling and purchasing.
2. Co-operation with Agricultural col-
lege extension men handling this work.
3. That in every case of candled eggs
there be placed on the top layer a
candling certificate.
4. That it is desirable that these
recommendations be put into effect’ on
June 1st, 1918.
The matter is so urgent that the
food administration find it impossible
to furnish the blank certificates, and
therefore hopes that the’ various trade
organizations and individuals will find
it convenient to have them printed,
conforming to the copy planned by the
government.
Forms will be supplied to make up
the certificates by the perishable divi-
sion of the federal food administration
for Texas by addressing that depart-
ment. ♦
says it does not appear doubtful that
the enemy has reached the extreme
point of his advance and that he will
encounter the allied reserves, carefully
withheld until a favorable moment
shall arrive for a counterattack.

Paris, May 31.—The German long-
range bombardment of Paris was re-

is incredible. For the good of our
beloved country and for the honor of
railroad men in the service every-
where, I hope that there will be no
repetition of what everyone must con-
demn as unpatriotic in the highest de-
gree.
“The government can not, of course,
be coerced or intimidated by any of its
employees. It is anxious to do justice
to all and will do justice to all as far
as it is possible to measure justice.
“Recognizing that there are prob-
able inequalities in the recommenda-
tions of the wage commission, which
should be impartially considered and
dealt with, I appointed in my general
order No. 27, dated May 25, a board of
railroad wages and working condi-
tions, composed of three representative
labor men, and three representative
railroad men, whose duty it is to hear
and to pass upon all petitions and com-
plaints.
“Every class of employees or part of
classes of employees who feel that they
have just ground for complaint under
the wage decision should submit their
cases promptly to this board and they
will be given just and impartial con-
sideration. The American people have
just been called upon to pay largely in-
creased freight and passenger rates for
the purpose of paying in part the in-
creased wages, amounting to more than
$300,000,000, awarded to railroad em-
ployees.
“Suppose they should strike against
the government because they do not'
think they are fairly treated in being
forced to pay these increases for the
benefit of the railroad labor, what
would happen to our country? Suppose
that railroad officers should strike be-
cause they disliked the orders of the
government and should refuse to obey
them, what would happen to them?
Suppose that railroad employees should
strike against the decisions of their
government and hamper the operation
of the railroads at a time when trans-
portation is essential to protect the
hundreds of thousands of American
boys now fighting on the battlefields
of Europe to save the lives and prop-
erty and liberty of railroad employees
serving here at home, what would hap-
pen to our country? /
“The kaiser would probably get it.
We can not all get exactly what we
want in this world, nor can we win
this war unless each and every citizen
is willing to submit to the laws of the
land and to the decisions of those in
authority.
MUST BE LOYAL.
“We railroad men particularly must
give unswerving and loyal support to
our government no matter what our in-
vividual views and disappointments
may be, relying upon a fair hearing of
our complaints and the justice of our
cause and accepting patriotically the
final decisions of those in authority
who under our laws are charged with
the responsibility of making them.
“While in the German drive now go-
ing on the sons of railroad men and
the sons of Americans of every class
are dying on the battlefields of France
to save America and democracy in the
world, shall there be found among us
any man or set of men who are un-
willing to sacrifice something of their
personal views and individual desires
to support America’s heroes, who are
making the supreme sacrifice for us?
“I earnestly hope that from one end
of this great land to the other it may
never be said again that any railroad
man, officer or employee, was so un-
patriotic as to strike against his own
government when it is in the midst of
the most perilous war of all history. It '
is the highest duty of patriotic men
to remain at their posts with the rail-
roads, where they are Urgently needed
for the safety of thecountry, and to
rely upon the board of railroad wages
and working conditions and the director
general for the just consideration of
their claims.
“I, am sure that I can count upon you
to immediately urge upon your men by
wire the wisdom and patriotism of the
course I have suggested.”

Paris, May 31.—The extreme point
of the German advance is Le Charmel,
about two miles north of the River
Marne, according to an outline of the
battle front as marked by a news-
paper ‘correspondent, the Havas Agency
says.,
The fighting front, it is declared,
runs as follows:
“From Chavigny north of Soissons it
describes a circle west of that city and
rejoins the River Crise south of Sois-
sons. Then its goes to erzy, follows
the Soissons-Chateau Thierry road un-
til near Hartennes, where it bends
southeast to Grand Rozoy. Then on
southward, leaving Mulchy-le-Chateau,
it passes Nanteuil-Notre Dame and ad-
vances toward the Marne to Courcy,
Breoy, Courpoit and Le Charmel, which
marks its extreme southern point.
Through Vezilly, Brouillet, Savigny
and Thillois it runs northeastward to
the environs of Rheims.
The newspapers do not attempt to
minimize the importance of the Ger-
man advance. Gabriel Hanotaux, in
the Figaro, compares the stategic situ-
ation with that on the eve of the
battle of the Marne. All the commen-
tators, however, express confidence
that the high command will so dispose
the allied troops as to restore the situa-
tion which L’Homme Libre considers
to have reached its maximum point of
gravity. The Petit Parisien says the
government officials who saw the army
chiefs yesterday returned in the eve-
ning still confident, which it regards
as a good sign. .
It is resistance of the two wings or
the allied force which inspires the con-
fidence of all the military critics. To
take victorious advantage of the suc-
cess they have so far gained the Ger-
mans must succeed in bending these
two hinges, and all their efforts to do
this, up to this time, have been vain.
Another reason for the confident
feeling is the arrival of allied reserves.
Besides the mention in the official re-
port of the beginning of intervention
by these reserves, the Echo de Paris,

An Atlantic Port, May 31.—Recent
reports that German submarines have
been lurking in southern waters off
the American coast were given support
with the arrival here of a Brazilian
steamship. The passengers said 'that
on Saturday last when the ship was en-
tering the Gulf Stream off the Florida
coast, a wireless warning to look out
for submarines was received and that
the captain immediately changed his
course and made a very wide detour
before heading again for this port.
Sir Leslie Probyn, one of the passen-
gers, former British governor general
of the Barbadoes, who is on his way
to take the new post of governor gen-
eral of Jamaica, said that before leav-
ing the Barbadoes he had heard that a
German submarine had been sighted
on May 16 near Bermuda. One report
to this effect was made by an American
vessel, another by a British vessel, he
said. C
Firmly convinced that they had' nar-
rowly escaped attack by a German
U-boat, passengers on the Brazilian
ship declared the vessel turned about
and raced on the reverse course for
twelve hours at top speed after the first
wireless warning. Suddenly their
course was changed again and the
journey northward resumed, although
not in the line of their retreat.
Fears of the ship's company had been
somewhat allayed, they said, but in
the dead of night a far off mysterious
flash of light prompted the captain to
throbbing at full power, while the pas-
lowed for many miles with engine
order a zigzag course, which was fol-
sengers were ordered below.
During the night the voyagers said
their ship was in almost constant
wireless communication with another
craft, whether a destroyer or a sea-
plane, they did not know. Officers told
them, they stated, that two German
submarines had been sighted in the
Atlantic heading toward the Gulf
Stream.
“Undoubtedly there are U-boats in
the Middle Atlantic,” Sir Leslie said on
coming ashore. He reported that au-
thorities in the West Indies still are
without a shred of information as to
the fate of the U. S. collier Cyclops,
whose disappearance is one of the mys-
teries of the seas.

Alexandria, Va., May 31.—President
Wilson lent a hand yesterday in driv-
ing a rivet in the keel in what will be
the steamer Gunton Hally, a 9,400-ton
ferighter.
Mrs. Wilson also played a part in the
keel laying, guiding the last vertical
plate into position and named the ship
as she did so.
“I haven’t got my union card, but I
guess its all right,” laughed the presi-
dent as he clapped a sturdy workman
on the shoulder after the white hot
end of the rivet had been beaten to a
hound head neatly edged against the
keel plate.
“Pretty fair work,” commented the
shipbuilder with a grin.
A great crowd saw the beginning of
the first ship to be built in Alexandria
since the days when' four-masters
flourished on the Potomac and Chesa-
peake bay. Others of the president’s
party from Washington were Senators
Martin of Virginia, Simmons of North
Carolina and Fletcher of Florida,
Speaker Clark, Former Speaker Can-
non and Representative Carlin of Vir-
ginia.
A shrieking siren in the shipyard
shops announced that the president
has arrived and when he mounted the
wooden ladder to the top of the con-
crete ways he was greeted with a roar
of cheers.
President Wilson proceeded immedi-
ately to business. The signal was
given and a gigantic traveling crane
slowly lowered the last heavy plate of
the keel into position. Temporary
bolts were placed to hold it firm and
then Superintendent Charles Andrews,
acting as heater, drew from the char-
coal furnace a blazing nub of iron and
placed it through one of the multi-
tudinous holes in the keel plates.
As the president stepped forward to
take hold of the airgun several motion
picture cameras began to click. Some
one asked Mr. Wilson if he objected.
“Not at all, I’m not camera shy,” he
replied, and joined in the laughter
which followed.
Robert Mooney, rivet foreman, placed
the heavy pneumatic hammer in posi-
tion against the rivet head and Wil-
liam, Sims, on the other side of the
plate, leaned his weight against the
holder-on hammer. The president then
slowly pressed down, the trigger of the
riveter. “Rat-tat-tat” sang the ham-
mer piston, driving with tremendous
force. Suddenly the noise ceased. The
jarring had shaken the president’s
finger loose.
“Keep on,” Mooney ordered sharply,
fearing the rivet would cool before the
job was finished. Again the presi-
dent pressed the trigger and as Mooney
guided the gun around the edge the
rivet was beaten cleanly to a button-
like head, guaranteed to hold in all
kinds of seas.
When the applause subsided the
shipyard band played “The Star
Spangled Banner” and the presidential
party returned to Washington.
Officials, of the company claim a
world’s record in establishing a per-
manent shipyard in 85 working days.
"'Less than three months ago the site
of the yard was swamp land and origi-
nally ceded by James II to the Asso-
ciated Adventurers of the City of Lon-
don, but never from that time until
now used for any purpose.
The Gunston Hall is to be completed
Oct. 1 and from the yards four other
ships of the same type are slated for
delivery for Feb. 15, 1919. The yard
will have seven thousand employees.
In naming the vessel Gunston Hall,
Mrs. Wilson chose the name of the
famous old home of' George Mason,
author of the Verginia bill of rights
and one of the foremost thinkers of
colonial days. Mason surveyed the
District of Columbia and a marker es-
tablished by him still stands within a
short distance of where the Gunston
Hall will take the water to aid in the
fight against autocracy.
