Idaho Fruit Suffers
From Severe Frosts

Idaho apples escaped damage by
frost in an excellent manner this sea-
son, according to late survey made
by julius H. Jacobsen, field agent
for the United States bureau of crop
estimates for Idaho, and Mr.. Jacob
sen estimates Idaho's apple harvest
this fall at approximately 2,671, 900
bushels.
The report shows that the prune
crop was hit hard by late frosts and
less than SO per cent crop Is es-
timated by the government expert,
according to the June / survey. A
Erief summary of the crop situation
in the state is as follows:
Prunes-In district No. 7, where
80 per cent of the prune crop Is
raised, -prunes were severely dam
aged by spring frosts. Only As per
cent Of a normal crop was indicated
June 1.
Blackberries and raspberries- Re
ports from all districts indicate a 95
per cent crop of these varieties.
Pears-The prospects for the pear
crop is 70 per cent of normal. Only
half crop remains in the southwest
ern counties, while northern counties
have 60 per cent crop.
Peaches-Peaches Jared best in
districts Nos. and 7. There is
68 per cent crop in district No. and
a 81 per cent crop in district No.
Z.
Cherries-In district No. 1 pros
poets were greatly reduced believed
to be due to unfavorable weather
conditions during the pollenization
period in Nez Perce county. The
Emmett slope is producing a good
crop, but the bench and lowlands
suffered from frosts. The state crop
will be 81 per cent normal.

Department OF LABOR
GIVES MINERS EARNINGS

Earnings Of hand miners in bitumi-
nous coal mines covered by a survey
made recently by the bureau of labor
statistics OF the Department Of Labor
averaged $47.11. and machine miners
averaged $67.75 for q half months
work, according to a statement issued
today by the bureau. Average earn
ings of hand bituminous miners. who
work with q pick far underground,
were 1874 cents an hour. Anthracite
miners engaged In the same class Of
work earned "a cents an hour. These
figures were taken from observations
made by representatives of the bureau
in the Hooking valley district Of Ohio.
The two classes Of workers in the
bituminous mines worked during the
halfmonth period sixty and seventy
three hours, respectively, which ac-
counts for the discrepancy in the
wages received.
During the period from 1913 to 1918
earnings Of the soft coal miner in the
Hooking Valley district have increas-
ed 34.8 per cent. During, the period
In which observation was made pro-
duction was slack and It was neces-
sary to take considerable number of
pay rolls covering only part time
periods. Hand miners in the bitumi-
nous mines in West Virginia and Penn
sylvania worked longer hours than
those In other states. The same was
true Of machine miners in the soft
coal mines.

V|GOR WILL MARK
/. u. S. TRADE POLICY
Acting Secretary Sweet. of
Commerce Department
Talks of Conditions.

A more vigorous American foreign
trade policy will be fostered in the
future by the Department Of Commerce
than has heretofore been the case. Act
ing Secretary of Commerce Edwin F.
Sweet told newspaper men today at a
conference.
Mr.. Sweet said that the impression
has gotten about that former Secre-
tary Redfield has fostered policy tend
ing toward altruism In American trade
and one of sufferance toward building
up foreign trade in competition with
American trade rather than a policy
Of aggressiveness. This impression.
which he said appeared to obtain among
many business men. is erroneous and
does not obtain with regard to the per-
manent policy Of the department.
Britain Chief Competitor.
Asked as to how the department
intended to cooperate in securing for
American trade American bottoms
for shipment of American goods to
foreign countries. Mr.. Sweet said that
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce already has mapped out
vessels under American registry only.
and will urge the use Of them. Great
Britain, he said, IL our chief competi-
tor in world markets today, and a
spirit of cooperation from the view
OF world rebuilding should be fostered
with Great Britain. However. where
American goods compete with British
products q vigorous trade policy
should be followed and every effort
made to spread growth of trade with
the United States.
Quoting from a statement issued by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. Mr.. Sweet said that the
United States for the FIRST time in
years enjoys the distinct advantage
OF being the chief redistributing and
allocating trade center Of the world
Before the war. he said. Europe had
practically all this business, but lack
of shipping and diversion of produce
tive effort to war aims made it nee
essary to establish direct lines Of
trade Jute from India. wool from
Australia, tin from the Straits Settle
nents. come to the United States d.
rect: no longer through Europe. The
ships on their retur& carry American
manufactures, not European manufac-
lures.
Now that these direct lines are
established and have proved their
economy. It IL our duty and our op-
portunity to do everything possible
to make the change permanent" the

Declares Mine Operators
Are Anxious to Reopen
Negotiations With the Men

ST. LOUIS, November 3.-No plans
other than those the miners refused
to consider have been formulated by
the operators to end the bituminous
coal miners strike. Thomas E. Brew

Brewster added that, so far. no fur
Their plans were contemplated. He
admitted negotiations between miners
and operators appeared to be dead
locked.
Emphasizing that the operators
would support any further steps the
government takes to settle the strike,
Mr.. Brewster asserted that the mine
owners were anxious to reopen nego-
tiations with the miners II the latter
agreed to the operators proposition
that all differences be submitted to
arbitration. and that the men return
to work pending the award of the
arbitration board. Strikers who re-
turned to work would not be dis
eliminated against, he said

and that as soon as experts Of the
company can reach some definite
opinion of what they believe tele-
phone conditions will be in Washing
ton next year or the year after the
company will come back to the COM
mission with q concrete proposition.
Until conditions in Washington be-
come settled. he asked that the pres
ent rates be continued.
The company filed an exhibit with
the commission showing how operat-
ing expenses have exceeded revenue
during 1918 and SO far this year.
Chairman Kutz noted the fact that the
exhibit showed expenses higher this
year than in 1918. Mr.. Sylvan replied
it was due to higher wages and IN
creased cost of material used in main
tenance.
In answer to a question. Mr.. Marye
said the Post Office Department decid-
ed during the period of government
control that 1t was not an opportune
time to replace the present system
with the automatic telephone in
Washington.
