STRIKERS WANT LIVING WAGES
Railroad BOARD Will Decide Whether
to Hear Demands or Not

Formal written demands that the
railroad labor board give assurances
of the award of Giving wage" to
railroad men and that the employees
now on strike would be returned to
work without loss of seniority or
prejudice were filed with the board
at Washington Tuesday by Edward
McHugh, representing the strikers
in the metropolitan district of New
York, and James Eubanks, of the
st. Louis Yardmen's association.
Spokesman for the railroad broth.
erhood objected to the filing of the
demands, but Chairman Barton said
any body of men had the right to
file complaints with the board, but it
was for the board to decide whether
they were such as the board was au-
thorized to hear.
Mr.. Eubanks said that if the board
would assure him that the mems de-
mands would be acted upon speed
lily, he would put message on the
wire which would send the men in
the st. Louis district back to work
in three hours. Mr.. McHugh reit-
Grated that the men in the New York
district would remain out until word
was received from him that the
board would act on their complaints.
The board permitted the filing of
the complaints after it had held a
short executive session. With the
complaints in the hands of the sec
retary, the board proceeded with its
first public hearing on the general
wage demands of the 100000 rail-
road workers over the country.

TO SEND GERMANY ULT1MATUM
Allied Powers Becoming Tired Of
Teuton Attitude

The premlers OF the allied powers in
conference at San Reno, although
busy with the problems of the Turkish
peace treaty, have found time to re-
sumo the conversations begun Sunday
afternoon upon what warning or ulti-
matum shall be sent to Germany re-
specting the execution of the treaty
of Versailles. It does not appear,
however, that their consultations have
led them beyond an agreement in
principle that something of man.
dat6ry character must be sent to che
Berlin government, differences in view
as to the exact nature persisting.
Premier Lloyd George, it is under.
stood, is holding tenaciously to the
view that economic penalties shall
be imposed if Germany does not con.
form to the treaty's terms. The
French contention, on the other hand
is declared to be that it would be
more cruel to cease sending food
supplies into Germany and put E
stop to her industries by shutting of
raw materials than to occupy few
districts with allied troops unit
Germany changes her attitude. ~ ID
All the allied powers concerned nov
have approved the principle of col.
lective representations to be made t.
the Berlin government regarding the
execution Of the treaty of Versailles
and the charges in the 'affaires Of
the several allied nations will prob.
ably be instructed to call at once al
the Wilhelmstrasse and deliver the
declaration. Italy's approval Of the
representations, which had not beer
Immediately forthcoming, was receiv.
ed Tuesday.
The declaration is not regarded as
an ultimatum, as probably no time
limit will be set for Germany's re.
ply. She will be given to understand
however, that as a disagreeable al.
tentative to compliance with the
terms of the treaty regarding dis.
armament the allies will be unable to
continue the relations re-establisilad
by the peace treaty.
Strong representations will be
made likewise regarding the contin.
uance of instructions in Germany
and the prospect will be held out OF
the withholding of food and othe,
necessities in the event of the devel.
opment of a counter revolutionary
movement.

SUGAR SUPPLY ALMOST GONE
Maple Syrup ad Sorghum Also Be-

holder in view of the sugar situation
and the gloomy outlook for improve
ment.
If you happen to have a can of ma
pie syrup in your home, or even a
quart of sorghum, use it sparingly.
Either will serve as a sugar substi-
tute, but neither is likely to be on
the market long.
Moreover, unless you have an ade-
quate supply Of spuds on hand, it is
well to discover how beans or rice
may be substituted for potatoes.
Dealers are skeptical of the possi-
bilities of improvement in the pota-
to market before the new crop is
available, and they say it is likely
the price will continue to climb, in
spite of Investigations.
"Folks seem to be able to stand
anything but prosperity" said c. F.
Trettin, secretary of the St. Paul Re-
tail Grocers, association. "If we
had all buckled down to hard
work at the close of the war, instead
of relaxing, we should have avoided
many of the difficulties now confront
ing US.
"Most of us believed that the price
of sugar would have receded from its
high level by this time, but we were
fooled. Now we are told we can moi
look for improvement until the next
crop is available. Foreign buyers ap.
parently have gobbled the Cuban
crop, and when a cargo appears or
our eastern coast, it is offered the
highest bidder"

NOTES OF THE
FARM BUREAU
Effort Being Made to Secure Man
With Military Training to Have
Charge of Encampment
COMMITTEE MEETS THIS WEEK
Final Details to BE Worked Out By
',-es, -Four Members

The following is a clipping taken
from the Oakes Times of last week
and will be of especial interest to
farmers:
"County Agent Kuenning and a
representative from Sargent county
met with the Commercial club Tues.
day and sprung a new proposition
which appeared to take root and
start growing Immediately. 1t is
proposed to hold a farmer boys en-
campment in Oakes the second week
in June, all young men in Dickey
and Sargent counties between the
ages of fourteen and eighteen years
whether from the farms or towns
being eligible. The city offers the
use of Donation park and will furnish
the necessary tents.
"It is planned to conduct the en-
campment somewhat along military
lines. The boys will be under the su-
pervision of competent men, will
have regular hours for rising and 60
ing to bed, and certain parts of the
day will be devoted to sports of var
ious kinds. If weather permits, they
will march or be taken in automobiles
to Bare creek and go swimming ev-
cry day.
"Cook cars will be provided and
meals will be served on the grounds.
Each boy will be required to pay for
his board during the week. It is ex-
pected that this will cost about dol
lar a day, as it will be necessary to
pay only the actual cost Of the food
served.
"This is something new for this
part of the state, though encamp-
ments are general in other localities.
1t is hoped by this means to give
farmer boys an opportunity to meet
boys from other neighborhoods, get
their views and thus acquire broad
er view of life. We are product
of our environment to a certain ex-
tent and it is certain that boys who
spend the whole year at hard labor
on the farms do not have the chance
they are entitled to.
ut is worthy movement, and the
men who are back Of it deserve the
commendation and cooperation of
everybody interested in the welfare
of our boys"
D. F. Mueller and A. P. Guy of
Oakes, County Agent Greenwood of
Forman, and the Dickey county agent
constitute a committee to formulate
plans for carrying out the details of
holding this encampment. This COM
inittee will meet at Oakes some time
this week. It is hoping that we will
get considerable local talent from
Glendale, Oakes and Forman to help
carry out the programs.
We are trying to secure the SER
vices of man as commandant Of
the camp who has had both military
and general athletic training. This
will enable him to give the boys in
structions in contests, games, boxing

WILL ALLOW TURK TO REMAIN
Wilson'S Proposal to Expel Ottomans
from Europe is Rejected

The allied reply to President Will
sons Turkish note is expected by
diplomatic officials to point out that
without the acceptance of the United
States of responsibility for part of
the burden of the solution of the
Turkish question, the allies have
found it impossible to adopt the pres
ident's suggestion that the Turk be
driven out of Europe.
The allies have taken the position
that the eviction of the sultan from
Constantinople was impossible with
out the assumption by some power,
preferably the United States, of the
obligation for the protection of Con-
stantinople and contiguous Turkish
territory.
For economic and political reasons,
officials said, choice of any other
power than the United States was
precluded, and, since the United
States has refused the proffered man
date over Turkey, no other solution
than to leave the Turk in CONSTANT
nople under inter-allied control was
-pf1s'ble.
Supervision of the Turk, it is gen.
orally believed by officials, will de-
volve on the Ottoman debt commission
which consists of representatives of
Great Britain, France and Italy.
Representations that the southeast
ern boundaries of Bulgaria were def
nitely delimited by the Bulgarian
treaty of peace, signed by Undersec-
retary of State Polk last year in Par
is. it is known, already have been
made to the state department, in
connection with President Wilson's
suggestion that part of Eastern
Thrace, now a part of Turkish terri
tory, "should become part of Bull
garia." This suggestion, it is be-
lieved, will be answered by refer
ence to the Bulgarian treaty signed
by this government.
1t was discovered last week that the
state department does not possess an
official draft of the Bulgarian treaty
signed by Mr.. Polk.
The reply of the allies in thus sup
plying full information on this ques-
tion is taken to indicate their general
attitude toward the United States
government in treating the unset
tied European problems.
The Turkish treaty was approved
by the supreme council at San Reno
council on Monday in the general
form in which it was drawn by the
council of foreign ministers in Lon
don. Changes were made in two
points, but these were not disclosed.
1t was decided to request the Turkish
plenipotentiaries to present them
selves in London May 10 to receive
the treaty.
The council will suggest that Ar
menia should be placed in the cate
CORY of new states to be controlled
indirectly by the league-such as for
mer German colonies-and that some
neutral state be designated as man.
