Grafton of Maple street, cashier of the

NOT GETTING INCREASED WAGE.
Railroad Employees Send Thousands of
Letters to McAdoo.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Railroad
employees have written thousands of
letters TO the railroad administration,
complaining that they have not yet re-
ceived pay increases under Director
General McAdoo's wage order, and their
working hours have not been changed
10 conform with the eight-hour basis es-
tabiished by that order.
The railroad administration explained
that accounting difficulties ON many
roads have delayed the computation OF
new wages, and urged railroad execu-
tives to make haste to start the higher
wage payments. The eight-hour day
principle as established does not have
the effect of shortening working DAYS
to that many hours, but fixed eight
hours as the basic day for figuring com
pensation, Overtime iii some oecupa-
tions is figured at pay and half, and
overtime now begins ut the end of the
eight hour period ANY future arrange
ments for extra pay for overtime also
will make the eight-hour basis of prac
teal importance.

SEND POTATOES
TO THE GERMANS
Dutch Arouse Washington
by Offering Succor to Enc
my at a Critical Time
RETALIATION MAY
BECOME NECESSARY
Situation Might Be Created Whereby
U. s. Government Would Be Unable
to Reach Agreement to Give Holland
Foodstuffs It Desires.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The an
nouncement that the Dutch govern
ment had begun to send large ship
ments of potatoes into Germany at the
time when the armies and civilian pop
ulation of the central powers are most
in need of foodstuffs, caused q pro-
found stir in. official circles here and
there were evidences that serious sit
uation might develop shortly if the
program was continued.
The latest advices are to the effect
that Holland proposes to send equal
amounts of potatoes to Germany and
the allied governments and it is pre-
pared to devote $4,000 tons to these
trades. The allies, however, do not
need or desire any such amount of po-
tatoes and the fear is expressed that
If the pact is kept practically all of
the 10000 tons may reach Germany,
where they would be Immediately avail
able for the armies against which
American soldiers arc fighting.
The situation is considered doubly
| critical as a result of despatch stat
ing that Germany had decided to re-
duce its potato ration from seven to
three pounds weekly, and that there
was grave doubt that the latter ration
could be maintained. Some feel that
the attitude of Holland in coming to
| Germany's rescue at such a moment
was one which the United States could
not permit without definite and far
reaching measures az a protest.
1t was even possible, it was said to
night that a situation might be ere
ated where the United States govern
ment would feel itself unable to reaci
an agreement by which Holland would
be given various foodstuffs il desires
if it desires to continue it's trade re
lations with Germany and send larg
quantities of potatoes for the upkeel
of the Germans
The best adviees obtainable here ar
to the effect that Germany will fac
the most critical situation of the wal
so fart as food lis concerned, from thi
time until Aug. 10, when il will begi
to "eat its new harvest The sur
plies from the Ukraine have been dis
appointing because of internal cond
tions and the fact that crops did no
come up to expectations. Large quar-
titles of the supplies from this SQUIRE
also must be sent to Austria Hungar
and Bulgaria, in an effort to proven
social and political unrest.
The meat supply has been cut to
minimum because of the fact tina
northern neutral nations of Europ,
largely as result of the America
, embargo policy, have been forced I
slaughter their herds and cannot mair
tain the steady shipments which wei
possible in 1916 and 1917 All of thes
facts have contributed to the gravit
of situation such as now has deve
oped.
