Shipping Board Issues

Decision Indicates Future
Policy of the Shipbuild-1k

The Shipping Board authorizes the
following:
An important bulletin dealing with
the questions of minimum wage and
hours of work was issued Monday to
all shipyards and auxiliary plans by
the Industrial Relations Group,
United States Shipping Board, Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.
The bulletin deals with a recent
strike of 5000 men in eight plants
at Waynesboro; Pa. A decision on
the matters at controversy in this
strike was rendered by the National
War Labor Board The bulletin sets
forth that this decision gives indica-
ton of the future policy Of the board
regarding minimum wage and hours
of work. The bulletin follows:
Text Of Bulletin.
"The director of Industrial Rela-
tions is receiving numerous inquiries
regarding the establishment of a
minimum wage. The National War
Labor Board is not ready to an
nounce a fixed policy in this ques-
ton, but its decision Of July % gives
an indication as to future action.
"At Waynesboro, Pa, 5000 men
in eight plants struck for a minimum
wage of 80 cents per hour. The low
est-paid men had been getting %
cents. The board established min
imum Of 40 cents, 10 cents more
than the workers asked. The board
is giving further consideration to
this minimum and reserves the right
to revise it on the basis of what is
necessary to maintain the worker and
his family in reasonable comfort.

OF Agriculture
Reports The Cattle
Tick Is Losing
Ground
over 100000 Dippings In
Louisiana Each Month Since
Pass Of Law In
March, 1918

Progressive stock raisers are fight
ing a winning battle with the blood
sucking cattle fever ticks in Okla
homa. Through their effective CO
operation with the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the Live
Etock Sanitary Board of Oklahoma
in dipping cattle it is expected that
% counties will be released from
quarantine December 1, 1918. Dur
ing May here were 987 dipping vats
available and there were 889,144 dip
pings of cattle. During June 995
dipping vats were available and there
were 841,263 dippings Of cattle. The
Oklahoma State Council of Defense
firmly endorses the cattle tick cam
paign as a food conservation meas
ure and in this it has the support of
the governor Of the state.
In a statement just issued by the
Oklahoma State Council of Defense
this body goes on record as regarding
the eradication of cattle tick, which
conveys a disease which kills thou
sans Of beef-producing animals and
makes scrubs Of all in a quarantine
area, a most important food conser-
vation measure. At meeting Of the
council held July q resolution was
passed directing county council to
endorse the action of the state and
federal agents in their work and to
aid and cooperate with them in car
rying it out in every way possible.
It is hoped, the statement says, that
no misguided citizen, for reasons
which may appear to him Of personal
Importance, will in any way lend him
self to the creation of any opposition
to this important food conservation
measure which will also contribute
very materially to the prosperity Of
the state.
The benefit to be derived from erad-
icating the tick is shown by the i'm
proved conditions after quarantine
has been lifted. Restrictions on ship
ments of cattle have been removed,
the loss from tick fever has been
eliminated, more cattle are being
raised, and a better grade of breed
ing stock is being introduced. Calves
grow faster, cattle put on flesh more
rkpidly during the grazing season
and go into the winter in better con-

Eighty Million Tons Of Coal
Must Be Saved This Winter
To Keep The War Indus
tries And Warships
Going

New Orleans, Aug. 25.-Patriotic
farmers of Louisiana, who have raj
lied to every call of the United States
government, are enrolling themselves
into a mighty army now; their weap-
ons are axes, and they are piling up
a fuel reserve of wood so coal may be
released for war industries and to
speed transports and troopships to
France, according to the Fuel Admin
istratiOn of Louisiana
Every farmer and his axe in every
state in the Union are being muster
ed into service True, there is no
real peril and glamor and fanfare Of
going over the top" in battle. But.
every farmer should realize that, with
each cord of wood he cuts and uses
for fuel or provides for someone
else, about ton ~f coal is thus re-
leased to insure the food supply,
comfort and heat IF the soldiers Of
America and our Allies over there
Eighty million tons of coal must
be saved this winter to keep the war
industries and warships going-and
the big burden rests on the patriotic
American and his axe"

dition because Of the absence of the
tick. Dairy cows give greater Yield
Of milk, and the values of farm land
are enhanced. In appearance the
cattle show a marked contrast since
the tick has been radicated. Pure
bred cattle have been brought in
from other sections to improve the
native breed without any loss from
>fever. The Southern animals can en-
ter the show ring Of the North with
out restrictions.
In Mississippi, the frt Southern
state to have all its territory removed
from quarantine, which opened a
wedge to the Gulf, the statewide
eradication law, passed in 1916, is re-
garded by many as one of the most
progressive pieces of legislation en-
acted in the state for many years.
The Mississippi Commissioner of Agri
culture says that if the necessity for
such law had been realized four
years prior to its passage, Mississippi
would no doubt be the greatest cat
producing state in the Union at
the present time. The people who
were responsible for getting this law
on the statute books foresaw the pos
s,bilities for the permanent develop
lnent of Mississippi's resources and
turning into profits the abundance Of
pasture grass which had annually
gone to waste or was eaten by un
thrifty cattle to make blood to feed
ticks.
Louisiana passed a statewide tick
eradication law in 1917, and at the
time it was under consideration plant
ers, cattlemen and others throughout
the state hastily sent to their various
lawmakers a flood Of kilograms urg
in them to support the measure. This
state wide law did not become effec-
tive until the first Of last April. Rec
ords show that during March 250, 200
dippings were made under state or
federal supervision. while in April
the figures leaped to 100000 and
increased to over 100000 during
each Of the following two montrs.
Louisiana demonstrated that state
cannot afford to wait on a few un-
informed stockmen who are opposed
to dipping cattle and who have failed
to advise themselves of the benefits
to be derived from complete eradica-
ton.
The enrire South is looking for
ward with confidence to an era of
great prosperity in the cattle indus
try as the net gradually closes around
the last cattle tick.

Little Chance For Sleep
With Big Guns Going

Some of the most interesting let
ters from the front come from local
boys who request that their names
be not used in publication. Under
date of August 16 one writes:
"OVer here: l am, nevertheless,
pany again and though 1t means the
same old thing L am, nevertheless,
glad to be back. There is a big gun
right behind our billet which barKs
at intervals through the day and
night Tonight l think Fritz was
trying to find it with some of his
heavies. Just as l was washing
my mess kit after supper shell hit
too close for comfort but we did not
show any signs of immediate action.
Thirty seconds later another came
over and knocked down house some
seventy-fivo yards away. You should
have seen things move then. Mess
kits disregarded the law of gravity
and every man tried to set out in all
directions at the same time. Bust
ness picked rp wonderfully and the
halt, lame and blind were cured as
by q miracle. The company has
been in some pretty bad places dur
ing the last few weeks and many of

neither player was in uniform. 1t is
