Dakota is so fortunately situated as to have seen

county in the union, and the Capital City will make
ADEQUATE provision for their entertainment.

extended however, through the several charmen
which the council has wisely selected, and it is urged
that everyone who is interested ill seeing America
win this great struggle come to Bismarck Tor at
least one of the two days if it is possible for thcm
to make the sacrifice
The press will give all possible publicity to the
results of the North Dakota war council, but to
obtain the utmost inspiration from the conference it
is essential that one be present in person.

MEN WELL PAID
MORRIS CLAIMS
Young Head Of Big Packing Com
pany Says Wages Compare
With Other Industries

Chicago, Ill, Feb. 20.-Nelson Nor
ris, the 26-year-old chairman OF the
board of directors of Morris & Co.,
who was the principal witness before
the stockyards wage arbitration pro-
ceedings yesterday denied the charge
of organized labor that packing house
employees are not paid fair living
wage He said the packers paid as
high wages as men Of the same class
received in other industries and that
living conditions in the district 'ad'
jacent to the stockyardsfare not near
" as bad as pictured a.by witnesses
called by representatives OF the EN-
ployes.
de said he favored equal ray for
men and women performing the same
amount Of work. F.
The ten-hour day, he said, was bet
ter suited to the need OF meat pack
ing industry than the eight.hour stan
dard, and ne Thought it would be a
mistake to change the system at pres
ent while the country is at war. he
said, however, he was willing for the
arbitrator to decide the eicht-hours
question after he had listened to the
Testimony and arguments OF both
sides. 1 tA
Mr.; Morris declared that the profits
of his company had been reduced oU
per cent since the plant was. operated
under government control last fall.
Attorney James G. Condor for the
packers, made the statement that the
government survey of the cost OF
keeping family Of five which
amounts to $1,2SS a year and used by
the employers side at. the hearing,
was based on the price of rent, food
and clothing in Washington, D. G.,
in an inquiry to five clerks salary and
could not properly be considered in
connection with the cost of living OF
stockyards laborers in Chicago.

TRIBUNE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT
WHEAT PRICE
BULL FACTOR
Prospect Of Government Guaran
tee Increases Buying
in Cereals

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-Progress to-
ward an increase of the government
guarantee price on wheat for the 1918
crop had bullish effect today on the
grain markets here. Corn closed
steady, 1h@kc net higher, with March
$1.27% and May $1.26%. Oats gained
81 @3% to 37sc up. Provisions fin
ished at an advance of 10 to soc.
Both corn and oats, especially oats,
responded quickly to word that the
senate agricultural committee at
Washington had favorably reported
the Gore resolution. Enhancement in
the value Of corn futures, however,
was relatively small owing to the fact
that corn trading has been greatly re-
stricted under prevailing exchange
regulations and in particular the maxi
mum price allowed, $1.28 a bushel I'm
favorable weather and the readiness
with which industries absorbed avail
able supplies gave firmness to corn
before news came OF the latest step
regarding wheat.
Aggressive buying, chiefly on the
part of houses, with eastern connec-
ton, carried oats far above any pre-.
vious record this season. Heavy profit
taking sales took place, but did little
to check the bulge.
In the provision market, announce.
ment that the food administration had
asked for tenders of meats and lard,
March shipment, was much more than
an offset for weakness of the price of
hogs.

RAILROAD WAGES
Proposal to Give Help
100000, 900 Back Pay
Dating From December 1915 to Janu-
airy Of Present Year-WouId Not
Affect All Roads As Some Have
Already Increased Wages to or
Near Proposed Increase

Washington, May S.-All railroad
employees whose monthly pay in De-
cember. 1915, was less than $3.50 a
month have been recommended for
wage increases by the Railway Wage
Commission. The recommendations
if adopted by Director General Nc
Adoo would give the workers $780,
100000 in back pay to January !, and
would add s2SS,o13,71S to the pay
roll as of 1917 an increase of 15.02l
per cent.
! Wage advances proposed, however,
do not represent net increases over
existing pay but are based on the
month of December. 1915. In other
words, any increases which may have
been allowed by individual roads
since that time must be deducted In
some cases deductions will almost, if
not altogether, cover the increase
suggested according TO the report.
The roads themselves during 1916
and 1917 increased wages an amount
equivalent to S35O,O00O0O if applied
to the present number of THEN en-
ployes.
Flat increases OF $50 a month are
proposed for ali employees except APP
prentices receiving s46 or less, and
all others up TO $239 would get ad-
vances ranging from 43 per cent.
downward to 4.6 per cent. the small
est increases going to those with the
highest wages. Above 239 fiat in
creases would be given to make the
wage $3.50. Apprentices from is to
81 Years of age would receive only
three-fourths Of tho recommended
increase and those below is years
one half
In the application of the scale the
wage runs so that men who have
been promoted since December, 1915,
shall receive increases applicable to
the new place and not to their wages
in that month. Men DISCHARGED
since January l shall receive their
share Of the retroactive pay for the
time that they worked.
Mr.. McAdoo is studying the re-
port, which was made public tonight
and will decide what increases shall

Division, Washington. D. C.

The Maine Child Welfare Associ-
alton was organized and it's officers
were elected at the closing session Of
the Child Welfare Conference held
Wednesday morning at the House Of
Representatives at the State House.
The attendance was not as large as
on Tuesday, but there were a good
number Of child welfare workers
present and the discussions of the
day showed a friendly difference Of
opinion about several matters, which
difference resulted in getting more
closely together and sitting out the
good from the bad.
This was the first Child Welfare
Conference ever held in the State at
the call of the Governor and the sug
gestion of departments of the State,
and III every way it was success.
The opinion was expressed by some
that the plans, if carried out as laid
out in the resolutions, will result in
q short time in the elimination of
good deal of the lost motion that is
in our public agencies for child well
fare, and at the same time the Chill
drens Code Commission shows the
Legislature how it can define more
clearly just what is the States field
and what is tho job Of the private
agency. Thus knowing what the
States work will be. the private
agencies will be better able to do their
work. People from out of the State
who attended the conference sessions
stated that Maine is certainly alive
and doing things.
The principal speakers at the clos
ing session were State Commissioner
of Labor Roscoe a. Eddy Of Bar Har-
Dor and Miss Grace Abbott. director
