INCREASED SCALE
FOR BUILDING WORKERS
NOT TO BE ASKED NOW

As a matter of self protection, local
contractors and representatives Of the
building trades council have held sew.
eral meetings recently regarding pro
posed increases I'm wages for members
of the building trades unions, although
no definite decision regarding policy
has been made.
Last night such a conference was
held, following reports that the carpen-
ters, teamsters and laborers were con.
sidering demanding increased pay. The
carpenters proposed an increase of from
soc to 75c per hour, the teamsters from
S5 to Sc per day, and laborers from 50
to SO per day.
After due consideration at last
nights meeting. during which the CON
tractors declared that such Increases
would mean the abandonment of several
new buildings now being planned, it
was decided that the workmen would
return to their places at the old scale,
at least for several weeks.
None of the local contractors wish
10 appear as fighting union labor, and
If there are any demands that are fair,
we intend to grant them" r. J. Glassco,
Of the Stiles Construction company, said
this morning. However, If the work
men continue raising their scales, il
will mean that several buildings now
being planned will be abandoned with
a consequent reduction in work"

u. S. MAY
FARM in
FRANCE!
Especial to The Times.)

| WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 5.
If the war department puts it's
o. k. on a proposal recently made
to 1t by some of the best agricul-
tural authorities in this country,
Uncle Sam will soon have 1000
experte farmers somewhere in
France arranging big war farm
to feed the American armies.
There are great landed estates
in France not being farmed be-
cause of lack of men, fertilizer
and farming implements and be-
cause of the difficulty of clearing
off the soil, especially in regions
recently occupied by Germans.
These estates could be utilized
by Uncle Sam. by agreeemnt with
the French government and the
owners of the. land.
Oats and Corn, Too.
At present every pound of food
consumed by American soldiers in
France has to be shipped from
here, when every inch of space in
ships is more valuable than dia-
monds.
1t is claimed by the proponents
of the farm plan that 1000 expert
farmers, who would volunteer. for
the work, could cultivate enough
soil to produce practically all the
vegetable food the American army
would need.
They would not only raise wheat
for bread, but oats for horses and
mules. Corn could be raised both
for animal and human food.
Fresh vegetables also could be
grown, including potatoes, on
ions and cabbages, all parts of the
regular American army ration.
Such farm would make the
army very largely Independent Of
any German submarine attempt to
interfere with its food.
Would Save Shipping.
Supply ships from this country
to France, If the food farm were
in operation, need carry only sta
pies like sugar, coffee. tea, salt,
pepper and meat.
This would give the government
far more space for carrying cloth
ing, ammunition, rifles, etc.
If the plan is put thru, In adj
dition to 1000 volunteer farmers
the first ship would carry guam
titles of fertilizers, agricultural
implements, stump pullers, etc.
1t is also claimed Tor this
scheme that as the armies In
France grew. bigger it would be
possible to send more volunteer
farmers and take over more land.
1t 1t is figured that 1000 men
can cultivate enough land to sup
ply vegetables for 100000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A 81
per cent tax on war profits will
be voted by the senate today. This
is the program OF the .financo
committee, which for many days

demands of score of senators led
by Senators johnson and Borah

The committee amendment will
raise $1,000, 600, 000-practically
double the sum the committee
originally planned to raise from
this source.

wanted out of this" Senator
Johnson, of California, said today.
But we have forced what
amounts to a victory. The COM
mittee has ben compelled to near
ly double the sum 1t planned to
get from war profits"
Under the committee plan war
profits are established as the DIFF
ference between the 1917 income
of a corporation and the average
peace profits computed from any
to of the three years before 1914,
from 6 to 10 per cent on the
inl ested capital. 1t amounts to
general tax upon all profits.

BUENOS AIRES Sept. 5.-All
Argentine faced utter paralysis of
industry today in strikes.
The prompt surrender. to strik-
ers' demands made by the Central
Argentine railways has resulted
in encouraging laborers in many
industries turnout the country to
attempt an improvement in their
deplorable conditions.
The government has despatched
two shiploads of marines and blue
Jackets to Avellaneda to reinforce
guards protecting the feed tunnels
supplying Buenos Aires with cleo
tricity.
The same circuits gave current
to the city's street railway system,
on which a strike has already
forced withdrawal of half the cars.
Four hundred naval stokers are
operating the electric light plant
itself, owing to sympathetic strike
of firemen there.
Other trades in which strikes
are either on, or about to be de-
clared today, include bakers, mar
ketmen, carpenters, millwrights
and news vendors. In many in
stances they are nationwide move
ments.
Employees of the Buenos Aires,
Pacific and Central Cordoba rail-
ways today joined in the general
threat Of a strike. Such a move
would tie up the trans-Andean
route.
