FARM IbUREAU CON.
DUCTS LABOR SURVEY

At a special meeting held at the
Moscow Hotel on Tuesday, Septem.
Der "a, the executive committee of
ed to conduct a farm labor survey of
! Latah county. Farm Bureau Presi-
dent A. S. Lyon presided and called
attention to the fact that farmers of
this county are facing a very serious
farm labor situation. He pointed out
that steps must be taken to keep agri-
cultural production at the maximum.
County Agricultural Agent O. S.
Fletcher was called upon and gave a
general review of the farm labor
problem.
A war industries board has been
organized at Washington, D. G. The
special work of this board is to keep
the production of industries essential
to winning the war at the maximum.
The secretary of Agriculture is one
member of this board, and he has
been charged with the task of seeing
that our farms are helped to produce
as much as possible. The war depart
ment has asked him to appoint n
person to represent agricultural IN
terests on advisory boards sitting
with district draft boards. This per
son is expected to have a very deli
mite knowledge Of the farm labor sit
uation in his district, SO that his ad-
vice will be of real value. The duty
of this agricultural representative IS
not to try to keep all farm laborers
at home, but rather to be able to
advise wisely. Mr.. w. Kjosness, as
sistant county agent leader, has been
appointed to represent agricultural
interests of North Idaho and will sit
with the district draft board in its
meetings. He has been asked by the
secretary of agriculture to have in
formation that can hardly be secured
without some sort Of farm labor sur
vey,
After stating the general situation, Mr..
Fletcher presented tentative survey forms
for the consideration of the committee.
G. P. Mix, manager of the Idaho Ma
tional Harvester company, spoke of the
labor situation in other industries, and
out that the general welfare of
the nation demanded that we know the
exact needs of every industry so that
men not needed in any given industry
may be available for other war work.
With this in mind, he Endorsed the idea
of conducting such a survey. All other
men present were called upon, and each
one discussed the problem as he saw it
and urged that a farm labor survey be
conducted.
Following this the executive commit
voted to have the Latah County Farm
aureau conduct the proposed farm sur
7ey, and adopted the two following sur
Jey forms:
Farm labor form
2. Farm laborer of draft age.
The first form is to secure general

lcebound Harbor Adds to
Difficulties of Shipping
Problem
Arrivals Growing Less
Many Ships Go South to
Obtain Fuel for the
Eastern Voyage

The coal shortage. augmented by the
Ice pack, which prevented barges from
getting alongside steamships, held in
port during the week just ended 10l
merchantmen ready to start for Euro
pean ports.
Apart from the preference granted
to ships Of the navy and the transport
service, the old custom Of first come,
first served" has prevailed during the
coal shortage, and the ships that have
been in port the longest have been
the first to get away.
There has been a falling off in the
average Of incoming steamships. This
is said to be due to a gradual conges-
tlon Of vessels in this and other ports
on this side of the Atlantic.
Lucky to Have Any Salings

be grateful that we are able to dis
patch the average that we have.
Until the coal shortage oomed up
about three months ago our ships we're
able to make the round trip between
New York and Europe in four or five
weeks. Now it takes six or seven
weeks. Three months ago our ships
could load and take on coal in this port
IN about seven or eight days. Within
the last two months some of our ships
and vessels of other nationality have
lain here from fourteen to eighteen
days merely because they could not get
the coal for the eastward journey"
The hard coal shortage has held ur

[Staf Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--Forty per
cent of the enlisted personnel Of the
American army, including regulars, Ma
tional Guard and National Army, have
no dependents, it was learned to-day at
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, and
only small part of the 60 per ce' t
have availed themselves of the vo1un-
tary allotment system adopted by the
army in connection with the compul-
sorry features of the war risk act, which
provides that married soldiers and
those having dependents allot half their
pay to their relatives.
The bureau announced to-day that
early this week $2,500000 in checks will
be dispatched to dependents of SOL
diers. Upward of 125000 wives,
mothers sisters and other relatives will
receive this government aid, made pos
sible through the war risk act.
Numerous delays, caused by the in
tricate work of establishing the bureau
and receiving from the soldiers in
France and. in training camps in this
country properly executed claims for
allotment, have been reduced to min
mum. it was said at the bureau too day,
c,'d hereafter transmission of monthly
checks to dependent families will be ex

By Theodore M. knappen

The story of the Russian debaclc. as
we'll as the fearful lack of shipping
and the waste of American railway
transportation, is told in the piles Of
steel and steel products rusting in the
mud, snow and ice of the railway yards
of certain Atlantic ports Most of the
railways tributary to one Atlantic port
have one or more of their terminal
yards Uttered with steel that, after
being carried from the interior. has
waited for many months for convey
ance to Europe.
1t is estimated that there are about
100000 tons Of steel heaped in piles
miles long and awaiting shipment
chiefly to France.
In order to keep it from blocking the
terminals it has been removed from
cars, piers and lighters and dumped, un
protected, on the ground. The passage
of time has rendered SO per cent of it
obsolete or useless, according to the
opinion Of railway vice president who
has given much attention to the sub
jcct.
Some Of this steel mas been moved
back and forth from the yards to piers
and lighters several times. Such ships
as are available ere slowly nibblng
away at the vast volume of this steel
but it is being reduced at rate OF
only 10000 or 10000 tons month.

The steels most in evidence in these
miles of piles are projcctile steel, rough

Pershing's Men Praised
British Labor Secretary De-
scribes Them as Quiet

LONDON, Jan. 13.-W. A. Appleton,
secretary Of the General Federation Of
Trades Unions, writing in the Fedora
ton organ, makes an appreciative ref
ercnce to the Americans he saw during
a recent visit to France
II saw everywhere he says,
samples of the American armies that
we are expecting will enable the Allies
to clear France of the Germans. Most
of the men arc fine specimens of hui
manity, and those with whom spoke
showed no signs of braggadocio, too
frequently attributed to America. They
were quiet, we'll spoken fellows, fully
alive to the seriousness Of the task
they have undertaken, and they ap-
parently have but one regret--that
they had. not come into the war soon
enough.
"It was pleasant to talk to these
fellows and derive encouragement from
their quiet, unobtrusve strength"
