"You may tell Kitchener we shall deliver the S0009-
This was the Joint message received by Premier Asqulth
from twenty~one engineering and shipbuilding Unions represented at a conference in Newcastle, England. the other day. The message announced the end of a’ strike which had been in progress for some weeks and which had caused much embarrassment and uneasiness to the British War Office; which had, in fact, created a serious menace to the life of the British Empire. y
There is much food for thought in the message. These
men had been misled by certain ringleaders. _Honest, cre- dulous, conilding. they believed the agitators who had gone in anti out among them; they believed they were being
wronged. that they were being oppressed by their employ- '
ers: that they were being used as the poorly paid tools I of the Government to carry the burden of the war; they t acted accordingly and struck. e Representative members of the Government undertook -
to explain the true situation. They explained to them that d

their grievnnccs, if any, would be righted; that in holding back the supply of munitions they were endangering not only the safety of the Empire but contributing to their own ruin. They saw the situation in its true light and, having seen it, they sent this message to the Premier: "Teil Kitchener we shall deliver the goods. Every worker will do his hit." .
'I`here is inspiration in the message of these hardy work-
ers. it tells us of the loyalty and patriotism that had been buried under the misrepresentations of agitators and that came to the surface when they realized that they had been misled and' that the course they were following was the way to their ruin. This discovery made, they adopted the manly course, every man was ready "to do his bit.” they
would "deliver the goods.” they would do their part in sav-
ing the Empire. 1
“Every worker will do his bit!" The message should
become the watchword of every citizen of the Empire. It
is n time of stress. a time when new foundations are being laid, when the Empire in every section oi' it is being put to
the suprcmt- test. when the united efforts of all are rcqulrcd to build up u healthier national. civic and Individual life
for the new ora that is even now being shaped in the horror
and suffering of a world~sIiaklng war.

DOING 0UR BIT
Tile movcmcnt which found expression at the civic
meeting, in the Drill Shed last night, when the Lieutenant- Governor, members oi’ the Government, individual members of the Legislature. clergymen representing all the religious denominations and private citizens, united in openly and voluntarily pledging themselves to follow the example of King George in nbstaining from alcoholic liquor during the continuance ot' the war. has no parallel in the history of the Province. It was a movement of actions, not words; a promise from each that he would “do his bit." In this movement cvcry loyal citizen will take part, not only for thc lnulcilt of himsclf personally but for what It will do for his fullowmcn. The time _calls upon every matt to “do his bit." ami there is much to be done, not alone in tempcrance reform but in reforming the national. civic and social life. ‘n the movement just launched there is room for all. opportunity for real service, not only in the city but throughout the Province. We understand the pledge adopted 'will be circulated through thc different churches in thc Province and otherwise for signature and concurrence. We trust it will mcct with the active and hearty support in dt-cd as ,well as in word, of the whole people and that it will prove a long step towards that practical prohibition which is the goal of all sincere temperance workers.
Characteristic of the movement is its unsectarlanisrn
and cathollclty both in religion and politics. it is a peo- ple's movement. a business men`s movement. a patriotic movement. a laymcn‘s movement with the clergy in the forefront. The eloquent and earnest speeches sent a sym- pathetic thrill through the immense gathering. the great- est gathering of its kind ever held in the province. The speakers insisted upon and emphasized the fact that it was our duty and privilege to make some sacrifice on be- half of the Empire in this terrible struggle. Many parents are sending their s ns, wives their husbands. to die, if
need be, In the field gf battle. In the Old Country the use- fulness of many oi"those employed in the industries is being seriously impaired by the curse of inebriety. The King and Commander-in-Chief have felt it incumbent upon
them to do what in them lies to show an exampIe‘in‘
sacrificing. for the time being at all events, the luxury of indulging or dispensing in their households, alcoholic beverages. The British Government has endorsed this action and have appealed to Canada. through His Royal
