ity for a Big Yield Of Spring
Wheat.

While there is no government guar
anty for the 1920 crop, yet the world
shortage will insure a good price. One
Of the best authorities says that the
worlds import requirement is 100000
600 bushels and that the world is con
fronted with a shortage more acute
than Of any recent year.
In the reconstruction period follow
ing the Civil war, the highest price Of
wheat was in 1867, two years after the
close Of the war, so it is reasonable to
suppose that wheat will continue to
sell at high prices.
The winter wheat crop now in the
ground is disappointing. Last year
the acreage was about s. 100000, this
year it is only about 100000 and the
condition was much higher all through
the winter season than it is this year,
probably from 10 to Is per cent.
The normal crop for spring wheat is

Arbitration of Labor Disputes
Substituted For Anti
Strike Clause.
PASSAGE IS INDICATED
Minor Differences Remaining To Be
Settled and Final Vote On Meas.
ure Before March I, Will
Follow.

Misunderstanding aside the anti
strike provision Of the Cummins bill,
against which labor has leveled pro-
tests and threats, and modifying the
rate making clauses of the same meas
ure, Seante and House representatives
have reached virtually a complete
agreement on legislation designed to
meet conditions growing out of the re-
turn of the railroads on March l to
private control.
For the. anti-strike provision the
joint conference committee of the two
Houses agreed 20 substitute what in
effect amounts to compulsory submits
sion of wage disputes to a federal
board appointed by the President.
Minor Difficulties Remain.
A number of minor differences re-
main to be composed but these, Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the
Senate managers, said would be work
ed out by himself and Chairman Esch
of the House conferees. A final report
on the legislation is anticipated in a
few days, and efforts will be made to
expedite consideration of the report in
both Houses, in order to insure the
bills passage before March /.
Reaching of an agreement On the
Esch bill, passed by the House, and
the Cummins bill. enacted by the Sen
ate, broke a deadlock that has existed
several weeks, due principally to the
House conferees' refusal to accept the
anti-strike provisions Of the latter mea-
sure. House members also have op-
posed the Senate rate-making section.
Arbitration Clause Inserted.
In agreeing on labor provisions the
%conferees struck out the clause Of the
Senate bill which would virtually make
strikes illegal by penalizing railroad
employees OF employers for entering in
to conspiracies for the purpose Of in
terfering with interstate commerce,
and provided in lieu thereof settlement
of labor disputes by boards composed
equally of employees and employers.
The findings of these boards must be
approved by a federal board appointed
by the President, with the Senate's
approval, to which appeals must be
taken in cases in which agreements are
not reached by the other boards. While
the size of the latter board has not
been fixed, Senator Cummins said it
would probably be Of five members.
Guarantee Period Cut Down.
Under the agreement on the rate
making section of return of 5h per
cent on the net railway operating in
come is guaranteed for a period from
Is months to two years after the bill
becomes a law. The exact period will
be fixed later by the conferees. The
Senate bill prescribed a five year
period.

IN DENIAL
Secretary Daniels Wakes Warm
Answering Sims Charges.
Refutes Accusation That Navy Did
No Fighting During War-Up-
holds His Stand.

MISUNDERSTANDING Daniels has
replied to criticism by Rear Admiral
Sims and others to the policy follow,
ed in awarding war decorations. Be-
fore the Senate subcommittee inves-
tigating the awards, he reaffirmed the
views which led him to alter some rec
concentrations for decorations, sup
porting his contentious with a long,
carefully prepared statement going in
to the medals situation in detail.
At several points in the two and a
hauf hours reading of his statement Mr..
Daniels showed considerable feeling,
particularly when he countered the
statement of Admiral Sims that the
navy Ibid no fighting during the war;"
Mr.. Daniels, vigorously pounding the
table, told the committee that it was
we'll that Admiral Sims had not made
such an assertion to the r1en operat-
ing American vessels in the war zone,
for if he had che would have had a re-
volt in his own command"
Unworthy Motives Alleged.
At another point the secretary de-
parted from his written statement to
declare that Admiral Sims, as a result
of personal differences with Admiral
Henry B. Wilson, former commander
of American naval forces off the
French coast, had omitted Wilson's
lame from the list of officers recon-
mended for a Distinguished Service
Medal.
On the ~controverted point Of the
Importance Of sea service as compared
to service ashore, Mr.. Daniels said he
had not and would never approve a
disparity between awards given men
who served on shore as compared
with the mel who went to sea-" Ad-
miral Sims, he asserted, probably ad,
vocated high awards for many officers
who served on staff duty ashore and
few awards for officers who went to
sea, because most of Admiral Sims
duty in the navy has been on shore"

%, 600. Every acre should count
because it will be up to the Northwest
to furnish the discrepancy of wheat.
There is good money in wheat prop
erly raised. OF course the weather has
much to do with it, but wheat is the
standard Of value in all the Northwest.
Without wheat We should go bankrupt.
Many farmers think that they will
not SOW wheat, but what can they SOW
which will do any better? In some
places they can put in corn and there
is much talk of live stock, but owing
to the scarcity of labor and the COM
parative ease with which wheat Is
handled and harvested, there is moth
ing more profitable as a usual thing
than to grow wheat but grow it prop
erly and profitably.
1t is folly to argue that by reducing
the wheat crop we can make more
money. What would it profit any man
If he had little or no wheat to sell at
