POSTAL EMPLOYEES
DEMAND RECOGNITION

Declaring that temporary increase
ri Is to Is per cent in wages. to cope
with an increase of at least rs per
cent in the cost OF living. is wholly
inadequate to properly provide for
what it terms the disastrous advance
in the cost OF living" Brsnch No. 1879
Of the National Federation of Postal

a resolution in which the national offi-
GERS of the federation are called upon
to bring such pressure 90 bear on con-
eress as will eventuate, not later than
September /. an increase in salary for
postal employees in proportion to the
constant increase in the cost Of neces-
sites.
The postal employees insist upon a
salary scale which ranges from. first
grade, $1,000, to hfth grade. $4,000, re-
troactive to July /, 1919.
The employees contend that the pay
for overtime. and also for Sunday and
holiday work. is not in accordance with
standards set by other occupations.
They would have the federation rec
osnized as bargaining unit, and off
cial recognition is sought. in accord
ance with established presidents
They ask for the standard rate of
time and a half for overtime and dou-
bile time for Sundays and holidays Six
hours work between the hours of s

no QUARANTINE ON
VIRGINIA WHEAT

/ News that doubtless will be hailed
with delight by the farmers OF Var
ginia. particularly growers OF wheat.
and seedsmen in general. Is that the
proposed government, quarantine will
not be placed on wheat grown In this
state.
On account OF the prevalency OF
what is known as nematode or eel
worm gall disease in certain sections
OF the wheat bel, of Virginia, the
United States department of agricul-
ture seriously considered establishing
quarantine on the grain.
To forestall any such action, or
rather to urge against such a decision

state entym ologist and plant patholog
list. Frank f>oushee. director of the
division of markets, and Mr. Fromme.
of the Virginia experiment station at
V T. l., attended meeting of the
federal quarantine board. an adjunct
of the United States department of
agriculture. in Washington yesterday.
They were able to convince the
hoard thar the alleged disease in this
state was not as bad. as had been rep
resented and that the growers had
the situation we'll in hand. The re-
suit was that the board decided that
II would not impose the quarantine
It was said by Colonel Owen at the
state department of agriculture yes
terday that seed wheat only would
have been affected and the loss would
have been felt most by seed merchants
who purchase the grain 10 ship 10
other states as seed wheat.
According to the department, the
nematode gall disease is caused by
minute worms almost microscopic in
size and which are closely related 10
and resemble the small, white. thread
like worms frequently present in old
vinegar. These worms attack the
wheat head at Towering time. enter
the undeveloped Kernel and cause 1t
to turn brown or almost black AT
harvest, instead of the head being
Allied with sound kernels. these hard
so-calied gals are found some heads
containing no perfect wheat kernels.

not criticize the, residents conclusion
that the peace of the world was more
i'm portant than the partition of CHINA.
BUT the question is whether the united
States viii become a party to the Shan-
tung seizure. Every nation at the con-
ference was under a solemn treaty TO
protect the integrity of China and every
nation which helped to distribute shan
tung to, Japan, and to dismember China
had such a treaty to protect emma
territorial Integrity,
Senator Hitchcock in objecting to the
consideration said he thought 1t be-
meath the dignity of the senate to give
serious attention to matter oaseo
emily upon a newspaper dispatch from
Budapest He said he thought 1t UNI
Just and that 1t might tend to inter-
lere with the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and japan.
He expressed the hope that when the
answer to the resolution should come
& would be the last ATTEMPT of the
senate to go "fshing expedition Tor
the purpose of breeding~trouble.
Senator Lodge replied that the news
paper dispatch was not the only in
fcrmation he had. that the article about
the secret Japanese German treaty had
appeared also In the Far Eastern Re-
view, and that IL was the duty of the
So nate while in the business OF agree
ing upon a treaty to bind 4o,00o.ooN-
people .of China tn inquire into such
matter as the resolution called for.
To this argument Senator Hitchcock
replied that the treaty between Ger
many and China. which was signed in
1898, wast approved ahy Secretary of
state Hay. and that China in 1915 as
signed to Japan all the rights which
she had granted. TO Germany IN 1893.
Senator Norris, interrupted to say
that the treaties were alike in that
Both were obtained through extortion.
Sc nator Hitchcock retorted that Japan
only secured economic rights in Shan
tung and that the sovereignty remains
with China.
Besides" the senator added. China
profits by this. for she gets all the
benefits OF Article X"
The foreign relations committee this
morning adopted the resolution by Sem
ator johnson asking for the full tran
script Of the proceedings OF the peace
conference on the league of nations.
The committee then took up the con-
sideration OF the treaty, Senator Lodge
reading n aloud nearly 100 pages were
covered in this manner.
