NO WHEAT SURPLUS
IN UNITED STATES
HERBERT HOOVER PREDICTS
WORLD WILL NEED ALL OF
AMERICAS WHEAT CROP

! That the government will probably
lose nothing by its guarantee of $226
l. per bushel for the 1919 wheat CROP
as the entire crop will be needed to
| feed Europe and Asia and the price
| paid by the government will be paid
| by the other countries that need the
wheat, sis the statement of H. Hoover,
| food administrator, who has been CIV
en- charge of food distribution to all
| of the European countries.
Mr.. Hoover is now in Paris, where
he gave out the following statement
''The question of government loss,
Iif any, will revolve around several
different factors. First, whether we
or the world will have any surplus
from the 1918 crop to carry over into
next year; second, what the supply
and demand will be for the 1919 crop,
and, third, whether the government
should deliberately decide to take
loss in order to lower the price of
bread.
"As to the supply and demand for
the 1918 crop: Changes in the world
demand during the last month, shown
by widespread investigation of the
food needs of Europe, indicate that
there will be no surplus to carry over
into the 1919 crop. The Indian fam
inc has proved so serious that large
part of the Australian wheat must go
there at once. In addition a consid-
cradle proportion of the Australian
supply which has been piling up for
years has spoiled.
"The needs of Europe are larger
than our previous estimates. Alto
gether the balance of the supply and
demand for our present wheat now
looks as though we might see wheat
at $3.50 a bushel. as it was in the
spring of 1917, if there is a free mar
ket in wheat and uncontrolled prices.
So much for the 1918 crop. There
can be no free market of 80 per cent
of the worlds exports. Wheat is
controlled by the wheat executive in
London.
CAS- to the 1919 crop it is, of course,
too early to come to any precise con-
clusion. Our crop looks anything
from 10 to 20 per cent greater than
last year Before the war Russia,
India, Bulgaria, Serbia and Rumania
all exported large amounts of wheat.
The war famine, loss of seed and lack
of fertilizers, and anarchy have cumu-
lated to turn these countries into i'm
porters of wheat for the whole of
next year. Central European seed
ing will be below normal. The Aus
tralian 1918 crop is small; the Argen-
tine crop is no larger than that of
Europe Altogether it would appear
now that there would be no bread to
waste in any quarter of the world for
he next year.
Therefore, to all present appear
ances it should be possible to market
he whole of next years crop without
oss to the government
GAS to whether the government
will deliberately take loss below the
,rice of $2.26 a bushe1 in order to
over the price of bread is matter
hat will have to be determined by
he officials of the day. 1t appears
o me that the world price of wheat,
f there is a free market, may be
bove $2.26 and in any event such
oss would be a direct substraction
rom bread prices just as it is paid
Iow in European countries.

INFLUENZA BAN MAY
BE RAISED SOON
HIGH SCHOOL OPENED FOR EX-
ANIMATION TODAY-EIGHTH
GRADE TOMORROW

The influenza situation shows
marked Improvement There are
few new cases but they are mild and
a number of those who were sick have
recovered and are out again. Today
the high school was open for examin-
ations and the eighth grade will have
examinations tomorrow, beginning at
9 o'clock. 1t is hoped that all grades
may resume work Wednesday, The
announcement will be made in tomor-
rows paper. DR.. w. A Adair, city
health officer, makes the following
statement today:
1t is reported that few parties are
breaking the quarantine regulations
by going back and forth from their
homes without having a permit from
the attending physician l wish to
state that this will not be permitted
There is a city ordinance providing
a heavy fine for such an affense.
The cases of influenza in town are
not confined to the school children
alone. A good many adults are now
down with the disease. Let us be
careful of congregating in crowds or
having any unnecessary social gather
ings. Parents of children attending
school should be especially careful as
they may contract the disease and
carry it home to the children, there
by helping to continue the condition
which may necessitate the closing of
our schools for the remainder of the
year

TWO CENT LETTER
POSTAGE TO RETURN

Beginning July l the old letter
rate of two cents is to be returned
in the United States. No change will
be made in the present drop letter
rate. The government will continue
to make three cent stamps and people
will be asked to buy them. They
will be of different color from those
now made and will be called "Vic-
tory stamps to commemorate the
winning of the war. The extra cent
paid for them will go to help pay
off the war debt.

Ihe statement issued last night
follows:
Notices are being posted today at
all mines in the district, whether op-
Grating or not, announcing a wage re-
duction of 81 per day.
Copies of notices posted at the
various properties will be found be-
low These announcements vary but
slightly and announce schedule of
wages which carry a bonus of rs
cents, above the scale prevailing be-
fore the war.
Since February 1, 1916, workmen
in and about the mines have been
paid a wage bonus based upon the
lead prices. An examination of these
schedules disclose the fact that under
them, if they had been strictly ad-
hered to, the bonus would now be 25
cents per day instead of rs cents per
day, and the miners wage $3.75 per
day instead of $4.25 per day proposed
in the schedule posted today.
The operators are hopeful that lead
prices will permit the maintenance of
the proposed scale at least until liv-
ing costs have been reduced or the
price of lead substantially raised. If
it were not for the good silver price,
it is safe to say every mine IN the
district would now be closed. The
disquieting part of the present situa-
tion is the lack of market for lead.
It is perhaps not known generally
that there is piled up in the yards at
the Bunker Hill Smelter more than
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-03-10

5000 tons of lead bullion. This has
accumulated since November II, wher
the armistice was signed and is suf-
ficient to supply all demands on the
Bunker Hill Smelter, as they are at
present, for the next four or five
months.
The present wage cut has been
largely discounted by the workmen.
They are aware that wages have been
reduced in most western mining
camps and are familiar with the un-
satisfactory condition in the metal
markets.
1t is generally believed that the
proposed cut will be accepted without
protest. The local managers have
made the cut reluctantly and long
after it was made in other districts.
They realize that living costs are
high and are hopeful that an early
reduction in these costs will soon be
obtained. Their knowledge of these
high living costs is what has delayed
the present reduction until this time.
Copies of the notices to be posted
at the various mines follow:
Notice to All Employees.
Beginning March 16, 1919, and un-
til further notice, bonus of rs cents
per shift will be paid to all employees,
with a minimum wage, including
bonus of S4.OO per shift to under
ground laborers.
Because of living cost conditions
the bonus paid for months past has
greatly exceeded the scale first eff
fective February 1, 1919, by which a
bonus of but % cents would now be
paid
The state of the industry and of
the lead market makes it impossible
longer to pay the present bonus and
makes the above reduction impera-
tive.

ONE-SIDED GAME

Again the University of Idaho bas-

perior to Boilers team of the Wash
iington State College, by defeating thai
team on it's own floor by a score OF
almost two to one. A few Moscow peo-
pie attended the game, which was toe
one-sided to be really interesting. The
story of the game as told by the Pull
man reporter. follows:
PULLMAN.-Idaho's great scoring
combination, CampbellMoe and Hunt
er, had little trouble with Washing
ton State tonight, and Idaho took the
odd game in the series SO to 20. 1t
was Idaho's game from the start, the
visitors piling up 16 points before
Washington State annexed its first
field basket, and incidentally the only
one made by Boilers men during the
first half. Team work won for the
Idaho quintet practically all of the
baskets being short tosses made after
the ball had been worked down the
floor on a succession of quick, short
passes.
