from MIR. HOOVER

The confidence of the United States Food Admnistra
U sas and upon presentation of
facts any necessary requests for reduction in con-
sumption of food, has been fully justified. We nave
demonstrated ability only to think together but to
together This of the people the reason
for the present appeal
Our work is not yet complete spite of the
ing results of efforts in spite of the fact that
experts of foodstufs are constantly increasing and are
for renewed devotion and effort is pressing While all OF
constantly observed there certain matters which
desire to stress at this time.
In the of meat and meat products the necessities
for shipment abroad great Whereas the Ahed
consumption has been reduced to of about
an average of about 81 pounds per person per week
This division is nequitable An understanding OF these
facts will justify request that the consumption of all
meats including poultry nearly possible be reduced
to pounds week person over four years on age
In the of sugar. embarrassed by the neces
y of using ships for carrying soldiers feeding
the Allies and in consequence we must use sugar with
great economy. We must emphasize the importance Oh
canning and preserving on large scale among our people
this and our available sugar must be conserved
for this purpose.
But the situation with regard to wheat is the most
serious in the food supply of the Allied World If we
to satisfy the minimum wheat requirements OF our
Armies and the Allies and the suffering millions in the
Allied countries consumption of wheat in the United
mately one third of normal 1t is nconceivable that
should fail in this crisis For each of who personal
privilege not sacrifice All elements of population
cannot bear this burden equally: Those engaged in
physical labor need larger bread ration than those In
sedentary occupations Because of the constant daily
employment of and the lack of home baking fa
cies many households in large urban centers require
food ration already prepared such as the bakers stand
ard Victory bread loaf Furthermore must constantly
safeguard the special requirements of children and in
valids.
To meet the situation abroad and to prevent serious
suffering at home, is imperative that all those whose
circumstances permit shall abstain from wheat and wheat
products any form until the next harvest 1t is realized
and deeply appreciated that many organizations and
communities have already agreed to follow this
plan.
It is hoped that you will communicate this to your
organization and your community, urging those whose
circumstances will permit to join with and take this
stand. -- ---

 As the time for the meeting of the convention approaches, the movement for a further delay, or for adjourn- ment sine die, seems to lack support This as pretty thoroughly tested in April, when the committees met, and was given so little support that it is not probable it will be resumed in July with any renewed strength be-

ecutions of Belgians by the German

at least 10 women. three young girls
between IA and is years of age, and
several youths under 20. The two
daughters of NJ. Grpneret, a merchant
OF Liege, were compelled to look on
at the execution of their relatives and
afterward were shot in their turn.
In a group of % persons recently
shot at Client by the Germans, there
was one young girl of 16 whose only

Employees In So Called Delaware
Yards Granted More Pay
Wilson May Appeal.
May QUIT
Dissatisfaction Spreads From Maine
to Louisiana-carpenters Not In.
ciuded in New Scale Which is
Under Pacific Coast Rate.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The shipping
boards wage adjustment board has
agreed on an increase in wages, defin.
lite working conditions and overtime
pay for all shipyard workers in the so.
called Delaware yards, comprising
about GO per cent of shipworkers on
the Atlantic coast. 1t does not include
the striking carpenters, but is expect
ed to affect their strike, as many of
the carpenters have signitied their in
tenuon Of accepting the award If it is
offered them.
The new wage scale is not so high
as the Pacific coast rate nor so high
as the New York strikers demand, but
it will be the model for settlements in
and gulf coasts.
Thousands May Go Out.
New York, Feb 1S.-At meeting
of delegates from councils of marine
woodworkers it was decided that 65,-
600 Of the woodworkers connected
with the shiphuilding industry on the
coast, from Bangor to New Orleans,
will so ON strike.
Every shipbuilding plant on the
coast except the navy yards, it was
declared, will be affected. The navy
yard workers have special agree
ment to remain on their jobs.
Those who will join the strike
include joiners. shipbuilders, carpen-
tiers, calkers, boat builders, rtggers-
every worker in any manner connect
ed with wood work on vessels.
Should the strike last three days,
fully $4,000 men will be affected,
it was asserted. The additional Co.
900 men include iron workers whose
labors must perforce cease in that
time If the wood workers stop.
Situation Fully Discussed.
There were 26 representatives at
the conference. The situation was
fully discussed, according to John
Stuart, secretary of the local district
council of the marine wood workers.
"The matter is absolutely up to
Chairman Hurley of the United States
Shipping board" said Stuart.
"Our demand is that we receive
the same per diem rate, $3.50, received
by men engaged in similar work on
the Pacific coast. We take this.
stand, not from any jealous or Sec
tional feeling, but because the scale
of living prices has increased here
In far greater ratio than has the ad-
vance in wages"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
in conference with President Wilson,
according to message received here
with respect to the pending strike.
After canvassing the whole situation,
Secretary Daniels submitted to the
President the name of John j. Nc
Gee. as member of the United
States shipping board to act as ar
'bitrator in settlement of the differ
ences between the government and
shipbuilders.
