Settle San Francisco
Trouble
Truce Expected Today
10000 Men May Resume
Work Only on Govern
ment Contracts

WASHINGTON, Sept. ls.-Reports
from the Shipping Boards agents in
San Francisco to-day gave hopeful
aspect to the strike situation, which Is
retarding work on the United States
emergency feet in the Pacific shipyards'
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping
Board advised A. f. Pillsbury and W. +.
Ackerson, the Shipping Boards Pacific
agents, yesterday, TO inform the San
Francisco shpbuidcrs that the gov
eminent was prepared to undertake
one-half the expense Of wage increases
IN all cases wnere the constructors did
not net more than 10 per cent, includ-
ing the proposed wage increases. ms
proposal, it WAS said, apparently had
supplied ground for negotiations be-
tween employers and men.
Chairman Hurley said that II the ne
gotiations progressed as satisfactorily
as he now expected, his proposed trip
TO San Francisco would be unnecessary.
He will not leave Washington unless
there should be an unexpected turn in
the situation.
Chairman Hurley and Admiral Caps.
head Of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. conferred to-day with James
O'Connell, president Of the Metal
Trades Section Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor; Frank J. Morrison, secre-
tary OF the American Federation, and
A. J. Berries, vice president Of the Metal
Trades Section, regarding the San
Francisco situation. Later the labor
officials had second conference among
themselves.
II was confidently stated that, while
Mr.. Gompers would no. take any formal
action TO end the strike, he and other
officials Of the American Federation
would cooperate with the government
to obtain an early adjustment.
Progress in settling the Seattle labor
disturbances Is expected TO be made
tomorrow, when General Manager
Rogers OF the SkinnerEddy Company,
Of Seattle, arrives TO confer with Off
Gals of the Shipping Board. The Skin
ner-Eddy Company has already granted
wage increases TO its men.
Other Seattle yards, however, have
refused TO follow suit. II is hoped that
a conference among Mr.. Rogers, repre-
sentatives OF the other yards and off,
Gals OF ;he Shipping Board will effect
a satisfactory adjustment OF the Seattle
situation.

Why Should Wheat
Bear This Terrible Burden?

When Senator GronnR arose 70 speak
on Wheat and the World War the
audience was in very belligerent
moou, and as he strobe scowling to the
front Of the platform, as if advancing
30 the charge, q North Dakota Morse
man sprang upon his chair as a cheer
leader, and soon two thousand yell
ing men, likewise on their chairs, were
acelaiming the Senator who, Charles
Edward Russell. says, took Riga for the
Germans. Followed a silence.
"Talk is cheap" began the Senator,
"as the Irishman said. But IL takes
money TO buy whiskey." This was &
reference 20 Senator McLaurinss
pledge of Southern Congressional help
for Northern farmers, which Gronns
then proceeded TO prove had been con-
spicuous bv its absence in the past.
Then he told how, at the command OF
big business, everything but wheat had
been eliminated from price fixing.
"Why wheat alone? Poor old John
Rockefeller might 90 hungry If we
touched oil. Steers Sl00,000,00 Of ex
cess profits are sacred, and If DuPonts

my opinion, and my opinion | will eX-
press so long as ! represent my people.
II they intended the food act to be sue
cessful, why did they not put farmers
on the national advisory council? Every
other interest was represented, from
Barney Baruch, representing Morgan,
right down the line. We are through
with this game OF playing the farmers
against the working classes. Farmers
and laborers are the same, and have
everything in common.
This meeting will bring us together.
They have conscripted our BOYS, the
flower Of the race, and sent them TO
The trenches, from which you know
well the chances are ninety-nine in a
hundred that they will never return.
Yet big business, refusing 20 give up
It's profits, refused TO pay our boys at
the front $50 extra. They say 1t would
not be patriotic, but it is perfectly pa
triotic TO let the captains of industry
profit seven billions of dollars from
the war in & single year.
when we wanted TO take some of
it away they said it would be unpa-
triotic to be hard on big business.
But at one time we had twenty-nine

unusual interest, and though from my

most desperate efforts to secure a
congenial life-partner or companion.
all struggles proved unavailing, until
at last Father Time has so faithfully
welded his scythe that / am that un-
fortunate and unblessed of human be-
ings, an "pld maid" but "while there
is life, there is hope" and like a ray
of glorious sunshine after the shad-
ows of storm, | saw your notice and
hasten to extend my appreciation of
your generous nature that gives to
the lonely, poverty stricken and
homely old maids and widows some
thing like a fair chance before the
end of their days.
I'm only sixty-two, but pretty
peru lOI my age, anu my SIylc
can't be altogether unprepossessing
for once in awhile some one says to
me in vague, uncertain sort of way,
"You must have been pretty girl, y
but to tell you the truth, if ever was
pretty, the beauty ehas gone glim-
mering through the dream of things
that were," and l am in looks and
other attributes just a plain, every.
day old maid. But I imagine it would
be mighty nice to be well taken care
of, have fine home. an automobile,
servants and plenty of money to
spend without any bother about how
it comes or how hard somebody else
has worked for it, just os I have the
enjoyment of it.
Hoping to receive most favorable
reply at earliest date, and with un-
mitigated gratitude and expectation
