Work Is Handicapped.

Conditions in this respect are the same
khis year as they were last year. The
work of many divisions in the office is
seriously handicapped because of the lack
of clerical help. In some of the divisions,
because this clerical work must be done.
it has been necessary to assign other en-
pioyes to it. with the result that higher
salaried employees, with technical qualifi-
cations. are performing duties that a clerk
at much less salary could do better.
The entrance salary for clerks in this
bureau is $3.50 per annum." continues the
report There are six positions at this
salary. From the fact that entrance sal
aries are higher in most other bureaus
and departments, a clerk that comes to
this bureau at S720 per annum only re-
mains long enough to qualify for better
paying position in another bureau or de-
partment"
From fluctuations the superintendent
shows that it is evident that the $500
positions are the only ones from which
there are no designations. and that in
experienced clerks are constantly coming
into the service"

for Employees.
RESERVATIONS ARE MANY

Loss of trained clerical help, by rea-
bon Of the fact that clerks can get
larger salaries and better chances OF
promotion In other branches of the gov
eminent, is Gripping the Washington
ONCE of the coast and geodetfc survey,
DR. E. Lester Jones declares in his an
nual superintendent's report, made pub
lie today.
Increase in the number Of clerks and
an increase in the entrance salary for
clerks are important needs of the Wash
ington office, the superintendent points
out.
Sixty-six per cent of the clerks en-
ployed at S720 a year resigned during
1917; SO per cent receiving 5000 resigned
during the year. and 20 per cent receiv-
ing $1,000 a year resigned.

emphasis was laid on the fact that the
work is greatly handicapped because of
the lack of clerical help" DR.. Jones says
in his report. TT was also explained
that though there is total of forty
clerks in the bureau, so many of these
are assigned to special duties that the
persons really doing clerical work are
but twenty-five in number.

The message to DR.. Garfield as

The message to DR.. Garfield as
serts that facts submitted by coal op-
orators indicate that the situation
may be ruled only by "classifying
mines according to the different char
acter of the output and establishing
prices on different qualities of coal
from each class of mine, basing these
prices on the best available figure for
actual cost of production"
Decrease in coal shipments from
British COLUMBIA, decrease in avail
able wood because of strikes in mill
and general increase in industrial ac-
tivity are given as reasons for the
greatly increased demand for coal
from the mines of the state.
The message declares that the most
striking fact brought out is the al
most certainty of a fuel shortage un-
less an extraordinary increase in pro-
duction is secured.

VOTED AGAINST WARS. NOW. :,
RAISES VOICE IN DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 10
An attack on what they called the
reasonable propaganda Of the Peo-
pies Council for Democracy and
Terms of Peace was made In the
house today by Representative John
son of South Dakota, one of the men,
bers of congress who voted against
the declaration of war. He said It was
about time thatscongressmen made 1t
known to the people who are sending
them this literature that congress Is
united and that the men who voted
against the entry of the United States
into the war are supporting the gov
eminent in every possible way.
""I received in the matt today some
Of this literature from certain Peo-
ple's council or some other body. and
it is time some of US who opposed the
entry into the war should answer
their reasonable attacks and not
leave it up to you who forced the
war to make the reply" Representa-
tive Johnson said. This combine Of
supposed citizens says the entente al
lies cannot secure q victory over Ger
many even with our aid, that the only
possible peace is by compromise.
81 mention such statements only
to call to the attention Of the gentle
men who send out literature of that
kind, IL the density of the skulls will
permit me to give them information.
that that kind Of propaganda will
have no influence on the people OF
this country.
1.-THE time for debate ceased with
the declaration of war. Before then
we could and did disagree. Now we
are either for or against the United
States. This congress, no matter how
the individual members voted on the
original declaration Of war. is going
to support the government to the end
until the United States is victorious"

WHEAT MARKET ON
THIS COAST WANTED

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 10
Grainmen and bankers from oregon,
Washington and Idaho numbering
about 200 met here today and decid-
ed to ask President Wilson to author
ize the establishment of a primary
wheat market somewhere in the Pa
cific Northwest. The grainmen claim
that the governments request that
deals be made at Chicago prices Is a
disadvantage to the Northwest. BY
selling wheat at Chicago prices, the
meeting resolved, Northwestern deal
ers must absorb the 80 cents freight
charges on every bushel between the
Northwest and Chicago.
1--WE are not complaining about the
price ITSELF" said G. l.. Mackenzie,
president of the First National bank
of Colfax, Wash, in addressing the
meeting. 1.-THE fact is that we. have
to pay the 80 cents rate to Chicago
whether we ship it there or not. Dur
ing the past ten years Portland wheat
prices have not varied greatly from
Chicago prices. When we sell at Chi
cago prices and then pay the freight
rate we sell at figures lower than or
binary and thus lose"

COAL SHORTAGE NOW
FEARED IN WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, Sept. 19.-Declaring
that the increase in coal production
in Washington was averaging only
$4,000 tons month in the face of an
increased consumption of 10000
over last year. the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce and Commercial Club
today telegraphed DR.. H. A. Garfield,
fuel administrator. asking that steps
be taken Immediately to establish a
government policy guaranteeing the
fullest possible supply of coal, while
protecting the public against excess
sive prices.
Action by the commercial organi-
zation followed a conference of coal
consumers and importers and oil
dealers, called together by DR.. Henry
Suzzalo, chairman of the state de-
tense council.

Three Courses Open

Washington, March 2s-President viii
son was represented yesterday as still
having an open mind on exactly what
steps he viii recommend to Congress
when it meets in special session next
week, although the prepondersnce of of
fetal opinion is that he should ask for

courses which he believed open to Con-

Passage of a resolution indorsing steps
already taken by the president to place
the United States in state of armed
neutrality and authorizing further pre-

Adoption of resolution declaring that
a state of war exists between the United
