EFFORTS MADE FOR
WAGE ADJUSTMENT
INCREASED WAGES AND DEFIN-
ITE WORKING CONDITIONS
OFFERED STRIKERS

WASHINGTON = The shipping
board and wage adjustment board to-
day agreed on increased wages and
definite working conditions and over
time for all shipyard workers in So
called Baltimore yards, comprising
so per cent of the ship workers on the
Atlantic coast
This does not include striking car
penters but it is expected to affect
their strike. Many striking carpen-
ters, however, despite the advice Of
their union officials, have signified
their intention of accepting this
award. Strikers in New York have
not done SO but it is hoped they will.
The new scale is not so high as the
Pacific coast rate, nor so high as New
York strikers demand, but it is be-
lieved it will be a model for settle
ments in other districts on the south
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

 Germany replied that 1t was i'm possible to comply with his request.
 While it is not so stated, 1t was the Bulgarian conclusion that Ger many had her hands fuit on tne Western front, due to the great num- Der of Americans in France, and therefore would not be able to come to the relief of the situation in the South again. Realizing that she would be unable to protect herself against the powerful and victorious SaIoniki army, she decided to with draw from the war on the best terms she cosid get.
