No Labor COnscriptiOn
Has Been Discussed

Washington, Oct. 20.-Alleged labor
shortage, which has resulted in discus
sion of labor eonscription and wide
spread demands for exemption from the
draft, was emphatically denied today~by
u. W. Sullivan, head Of the consumers
and labor division of the food admin
istration.
Incidentally, he disclosed in a letter
to the California Fruit Exchange that
the departments of agriculture and la
Dor are engaged in a nationwide sur
vey of the farm labor situation. That
the farmers face a shortage of hep,
without any promise of relief" as the
exchange claims, was therefore declared
to be untrue. European war experiments
to solve EMBELLISHMENTS of the la
Dor supply" are being studied.
"The munitions factories and other
industries have not yet absorbed the
unemployed Z" Sullivan said. ''Reports
to me warrant the conclusion that there
is in the United States no shortage of
labor in the general sense. What scar
city there is exists in specialized lines
upon which the draft has been extra
,ordinary!p 9B9r
IfThe farming clases were treated gen
erously9ini the first draft as regards ex-
emption; stated Sullivan. That all far
mers be exempt from forced military
service, as the exchange demanded, was
regarded as extraordinary by him.
He pointed out that California, partic-
ularly, had been comparatively slight
ly affected owing to the large number
of Japanese and other aliens there.

STRIKE IS POSTPONED
Until LIBERTY BOND
CAMPAIGN is CLOSED
Meantime Efforts Are Being
Made to Raech Agreement
with Phone Operators

San Francisco, Oct. 20-There will
be no general strike of electrical work
ers and telephone operators employed
by the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company until after the second
liberty loan campaign is ended.
Announcement of this was made to-
day after Mortimer Fleschhacker, of
the California state council of defense
had intervened at the request of the
government and appealed to the pa
riotism of the employees. The agree
ment was not reached until IL clock
last night, an hour before the time set
by the organized telephone operators
of the Pacific coast lines to walk out.
Apparently the notice of this action
did not reach the operators at Seattle
in time, for dispatches today stated
the electrical workers here quit work
at 2 "a. m.
By agreement the heads of the com
panv's electrical workers in Califor-
MIA, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and
Nevada will not carry out their strike
order until midnight, October 27,
twelve hours after the liberty loan
drive ends.
Meanwhile, Fleischhacker is expect
ed to continue his efforts to avert the
strike, because it is feared such tie
up would paralyze business in the Pa
citic coast states. Yrf

GERMANY MUST PAY
BILLION And half TO
SETTLE WITH BELGIUM
That Is Amount Of Damage
Done Since Invasion of
Little Kingdom
BY w. s. Forrest

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, Oct. 20.-At least one and a
half billion dollars is one of the first
items Germany must settle when it
comes to squaring up accounts.
This is the approximate amount of
damage by German depredations in
Belgium, according to official statis-
tics received today
Following is the Statement of ac-
counts" as itemized by the Belgian
government:
War contributions, levied up to Au'
gust 10, 1917-$2SS,0 900.
Private war contributions and fines
(up to the end of 1914)-$40, 100000.
Confiseation of machinery and re-
QUESTIONING of raw materials to Jan
uary, 1915, $400,000,000.
Destruction of sources of economic
wealth (not including destruction of
private property, which is still con-
tinuir~)-$1, 900 100000.
The Belgian statistics do not include
claims for the enormous loss resulting
from cessation of Belgian industries.
Nor do they include damages for many
German acts in stripping factories re-
ported in the last four months.

sued Parker for the amount of salary
as a dentist in the employ of the de-

him for a few weeks work, claiming
that he had contract to work for a

the contract after the plaintiff had
worked only short time.
In addition to the general verdict,
two special verdicts were submitted to
the jury. One was the question asking
if the plaintiff had performed his du-
ties in sldllful and workmanlike man

the other question asked if there was a
complete settlement between the plain

LOOKING FOR
ANOTHER RAILROAD

A crew of railroad surveyors have
been working in this vicinity for a cou-
pie of weeks and it is understood that
they are engaged for the Southern Pa
cific system to find right of way for
their line from Molalla to this city and
on to Stayton and Southern Oregon. R.
e. Williamson of Portland is supervis-
ing the work. Mr.. Williamson stated
that he was not prepared to say what
line of road he was surveying for nor
for what company. It is known, how
ever, that the Southern Pacific people
contemplate the extension of that line
of road to this city and this decision
was reached after the Willamette Valley
people decided to extend their road from
Mt. Angel to Silverton. Officials of the
Southern Pacific were in Silverton and,
it is said, one of them gave out this IN
formation, AT present the surveyors are
at work between here and Stayton.
1t is understood that the right of way
has practically all been secured between
Molalla and Stayton and construction
work win probably be commenced be-
fore the first of another year.
The willamette Valley Southern COM
pany expects to have its line compiet-
ed between this city and Mt. Angel by
